it's amazing what good things can happen when you put the bat on the ball.

I thought that was going to be a foul ball.

Woodruff out there looking like Verlander.

that's easily the best throw Madrigal has made as a big leaguer.

HELLUVA TURN YO YO AND MAGIC MAN!

Now that was a great pitch gio!

Giolito does not look good early.

yea it is. they are clustered with 4-5 other clubs right around 80%. Yanks and Dodgers are like 99% to make it.

Has anybody heard any news on if TA is going to be activated next week?

I saw the Athletic's and it was a disgrace. They had the Sox 17th and the Mets 14th, among others.

Sox enter the game with the 9th best playoff odds on Fan Graphs at a little over 80%. It's been a good start, let's keep it going.

What? Why? WTF man.

Yea I think most of the great HR calls involved something like "That ball hit deep...back...back...back, it's outta here!". Rick Rizzs uses that call for the most part. It's a simple call that allows the announcer to build the suspense regardless if they read the ball off the bat. https://www.mlb.com/video/radio-call-zunino-s-walk-off-c1476166983

This lineup is just drool worthy and TA isn't even healthy. Goodness!

We'll have to agree to disagree here. If Jason is the most controversial thing about this team I'm cool with that.

I didn't see it I was just reacting to what someone posted in response to my post. That said, everything that poster said is plausible and that was a very mediocre call by Jason. Among other things he didn't even the count out before the ball was halfway over the fence. Jason has things he needs to work on, his HR call is the obvious starting point.

that it was plausible is the problem.

I bet he doesn't get claimed.

Oof. I can't stand listening to Jason so I always tune into the opposing team's crew. The Brew Crew guys are really bad but they understood how big that HR was and didn't make a stupid reference to a show 30 years old now.

We need to be using him as the headliner, like now. Foster honestly looks like a guy you could toss out for the 1st inning, maybe you even get a 2nd out of him, and then you put in Ross for the next 3-5. Renteria needs to get creative.

Very boring and very Cubs oriented.

Luckily, with my drinking habits, the Sox haven't given me another reason too much this year!

I'm in love with this team. Manfred and selfish players better not fuck this up. Ratings are up over 50% for the Sox if this guy on Twitter is correct, so I'm not alone.

Was one of my favorite players growing up but he absolutely ruined it with his management tenure. I'm sure others have their own opinions but for me that's where I'm at.

I'm listening to the Score web stream right now, how does Dan Bernstein have this time slot? He's beyond boring. Jesus.
