I don't like Buck calling baseball games in particular because he is oftentimes way too dry and emotionless during big moments. See Konerko's big grand slam. After he announced grand slam, there was silence from him, and granted they should be for a little while so those watching can hear the crowd, but it just lasts too long.

Add Lynn to that list. And Kopech

Move it if it should be somewhere else, but I figured Joe Buck not calling WS games was newsworthy enough to put here.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2022/03/11/joe-buck-leave-fox-join-espn-monday-night-football/7007377001/ The article is mostly about football, but I thought it was noteworthy as he won't be calling World Series games anymore (as long as MLB sticks with Fox).

If they spend on a big bat for RF and DH, you don't need a big bat for 2B. Just get good defense. Honestly if Yolmer still has gold glove D, I wouldn't be mad if the Sox signed him. He had his moments on offense...wasn't completely worthless with the bat.

Give me Anthony Rizzo to split DH and 1B with Abreu and Kyle Schwarber for RF. I don't care about the history with the Cubs. Left handed problems solved. Instantly the best lineup in the league. Give Andrew Vaughn the Jordan Love treatment. Or trade him.

If this is a night game, I will be buying tickets.

I understand. It just...sucks when you don't have a spot for a man like that. If only he could reliably play right field or even second base. Good problem to have? He could theoretically be the DH but then idk what you do with Vaughn. Dude needs regular ab's.

I think Sheets is gonna be a beast.

As am I. Now we will get more chances to see players from the other league as well. Love it.

How does that work?

I would love it if the Sox played more games again Milwaukee, Stl, Cubs, etc.

I want to know what the new playoff format will look like with 12 teams.

YEEAAASSSS!!! What a great thing to read after getting home from a long day of work!! And it's a good deal. Yes!

Anybody have any other ideas as to what bullshit they will pull out of their butts next that will delay this even further?

Their incompetence is showing...

And also about service time if games start that late and no players gain a "full year of service."

When are these assholes going to realize they are not enemies of one another. They should be working with each other for the betterment of the game, the betterment of the collective communities in and around the game. Instead, they are working against one another.

Bob doesn't know shit.

When did the int draft even become part of the discussion?

Ahahahahaha

I would vote for you

Bob's information is about as good as the foodie guys. Speaking of which...where in the world have they been! And notstevecishek! I'd believe them over Bob.

I don't know why anyone takes Nightengale seriously. His reporting is a joke. All you need to do is listen to his interview with Garfein on the soxtalk podcast to realize that the guy is just not the person to get good information from. He needs to retire.

You're right. I will be.
