smart to dive because of the threat of the swipe imo.  only time it's justified.

Robert JUST missed that

Sliding head-first into 1B is dumb, but just seems like something that would be part of the Yermin experience.

The Sox have to play the LONGEST games in baseball... not that Im complaining.  1 hour to not even be through the 2nd inning.

Remember games that used to be under 3 hours?  I do not.

I love it. Especially games like this. Just sipping beer. Perfect relaxing Sunday.

Robert just missed that one

Yermin is such a fun player to watch. You can tell he truly loves playing the game.

You don’t grind as long as he has if you don’t love baseball. That’s the first time he is making good money doing it

My life has already started improved, have not had to listen to a Benetti home run call today

I can't wait until he's back in the stadium so I don't have to hear "oh but he's calling it at home how was he to know how hard it was hit" again.

My God, that was a long 2nd inning.

That tail Kopech has on his fastball is nutzo.

Len's dumb jokes aren't longer than 1 sentence and usually are about 1 word long, and his JBSIP (jokes plus bullshit per inning played) is still under 1.00, whereas Benetti ducks around all game long and drags Stone entirely out of his element.  It's like Mariano Rivera vs. Sox Billy Koch for comparison.

If we just want a joker then let's just bring back Bill Walton.  At least that guy is funny.

I hope Jason doesn't pay much for where he lives cause he lives rent free in the minds of so many people here. 

99mph, he wants this K

99 and it almost tailed into the dugout, mercy.

Kopech and pumps one in at  99.  Hes been warming up?

Pretty sure he is calling games at the stadium.

I mean he's only the play by play guy for 160 or so games a year of which the hardcore fans will listen to him for what, over 3K hours?  Of course he's a topic of discussion.

Kopech waved him off. Love it

Kopechs on pace for 27 strikeouts

His head is probably so hard that if he slammed it directly into the bag he'd just dislodge the bag and stand right up.  Wouldn't even need an advil.

I’m surprised he’s still in
