I've found myself tipping my cap to starting pitchers far too much this year.

Fuck Bunting

90mph right down the plate 

Bad base running. Tough end to a promising inning. Jfc I thought Colome innings scared me... at least unlike Gio, you only have to watch one of those at a time

I wish Jason would actually display his own knowledge of baseball more. He's certainly very bright, but I don't think he wants to step on Stone's toes as the analyst sometimes

That makes so much sense

As opposed to what? I doubt many teams are ready to deal good vets right now 

But for what prices thats the key?

The Sox are going to get into the expanded playoffs more than likely even with the current mess of a rotation, esp since the Angels and Astros look like garbage and we play the Tigers and Royals a ton. 

I dont want to sacrifice key future pieces for 2020. Just get into the playoff, anything beyond that is gravy.

Bad base running by Mendick there. You gotta know the 2B is there.

Why is he not going on 3-2 pitch with Omar catching?  

WOW GARCIA!

Can someone ask Renteria after the game why Moncada's wasting so many cookies with those stupid fake bunts?

It's not like he is Alexei Ramirez or Juan Uribe.

Mathias has been a pest.

Great play actually. Timmy really struggles at that exact spot.

Pirates trending to win somewhere around 9-13 games.   They're awful.

garcia and robert making incredible plays man this team is exciting I will say that.

Better than ICY HOT.

 

Miami tied with terrible BALT team 6-6, could be on the verge of 5-1. 

Nice job Leury getting rid of that ball pretty quickly instead of showboating around out there to make the play at 1st closer.

jason..doesn't know a lot about baseball.

There are a few posters I’ve seen on this board over the years I think would beat Jason on any kind of baseball exam (either practical or theoretical... how ever you want to assess baseball knowledge). There’s a reason he covers football and basketball games as well though: he has a good voice and character (and the skills needed) for effective play by play. I think him and Stone make a good team and I wish more sports would look beyond former players for effective announcers 

I still miss farmer tho. My favorite announcer of all time

Arcia is actually only 6 feet, but looks about 6'7 at the plate

Roger Clemens, right? 

This is certainly the Gio Gonzalez experience
