Shame on Reinsdorf for not having his announcers covering a special season live on the road.  It's  bullshit if the crew is already  vaccinated.

Kimbrel's curve is nasty.  It almost reminds me a bit of Shingo in the way it kind of moves like a Frisbee.

It seems like he throws 2 of them too. One like a classic knuckle curve that drops 12-9 and another one that almost breaks like a slurve. Or maybe that's just his erratic control on the pitch.

I'd think 3/65 is the floor for him unless the CBA really puts a freeze on FA spending.

He really made himself some money this year with how he's hit. He's gotten a lot more patient too.

that bend over thing he does is so obnoxious

My friend who is a Red Sox fan said it looks like Snoopy pretending to be a vulture.

i'm loathe to defend JR but I get the feeling despite protests otherwise both Jason and Stone are just fine with broacasting from home.  In fact, I think Jason has eyes on leaving the Sox as soon as next year for an bigger profile gig.

Benetti can't get two words out of his mouth without mentioning how much he despises calling road games from the studio.

Really bad and late swing from Gavin.

No I think you are right.  I think he does have two curve balls, a knuckle curve and more of a power curve.

I mean laugh it up I guess, stupid anon ass rating system, but Stone poney doesn't even want to broadcast games and Jason is well, moonlighting on national gigs about 1/2 the games here in the 2nd half.

Stone hates it so much he goes on vacation almost every time the Sox go on a long road trip.

that's my point.  

The dreaded 8 th almost bit us again,  glad we got 2 runs in the top of the 8 th to give us some breathing room.  Bringing Burrin was an unnecessary cardiac event.

Leury swinging the magic bat tonight. 

Leury might deserve the 2B position by the time everyone's healthy and the playoffs roll around.

if stone's contract only has him doing 100 games next year or 120 like Hawk was at the end he should just retire.

Andrew really struggling. Average is about to get to .240. He was at .265 like 3 weeks ago.

I think Stoney is on Rosh Hashana Jewish holiday?

It's the high holidays.  He never broadcasts on the high holidays.

hey andrew, you can dial him in here, that's allowed 2-0.

Cesar has basically been Leury with a slightly better glove and a little more power. But way worse bat.

That was horrible effort all around.  Here comes the 8th inning blues because Tony tried to get cute.

Tony manages like big 1st place lead.  I wonder how he'd fare 2 games up,

This place really is the house of horrors for us.

Leury got plunked right in the head by the throw.
