I actually don't mind the presentation but I hope the announcing has gotten better. Former Sox prospect great Chris Young on the call

I enjoyed the very first Apple TV broadcast but it’s been pretty cringe in the few games I’ve watched since.

I think very highly of Stephen Nelson and the couple of games I watched with him he was good (could use others in the booth) but of course he's in LA

Well, maybe we should also question the Dodgers and their evaluations because they also took Kimbrel off our hands (who flat out sucks). 

The only difference is the Dodgers have the capital not only with $$$ but with their farm system to be able to absorb dumb decisions. 

 

Who's ahead now

Cubs with madrigal 

Dodgers with Kimbrel

Sox with pollock

Long term it comes down to crochet as the Sox clearly have best 2022 player

Oh for the days of Jeremy Reed, Anthony Webster, Michael Morse, Borchard and CY.  Every generation of Sox prospects, a set of outfielders that fail to make an impact in Chicago.

Dodgers needed a closer with Jansen to ATL.  Kimbrel has been fine, overall.  Overpaid, obviously.  Pollock has been struggling just to get back to 0.0 fWAR after the horrific start.   Also depends on what happens for Sox in LF, 2023 version.

Kimbrel 0.5, Pollock -0.1.

I'd rather have Pollock than Kimbrel on this team right now, so I guess that's how I'm looking at it

Also, if you go off of Baseball Reference WAR, Kimbrel is -0.1, Pollock is 0.7

kimbrel sucks hahn did well to pawn him off on the Dodgers.

67% groundball rate, a full 10% higher than #2 in the AL.

as much as I'd always run Robert, I don't know if I'd run Robert here

If Pollock gets to a 2.5 fWAR, it’s a huge victory…of course, the problem is being stuck with a year older Pollock next year.

Plus he was more of a part-time player in LA like Pederson, so the question is how he stands up to everyday play on Jimenez never makes it back.

this broadcast is trash.

We should know pretty early if Giolito is going to make it through this lineup or not…trending in a not altogether positive direction.

Altuve looking first pitch FB and just got under it.

Brantley now 8/16 career against Lucas.

lol did she think that was out?

lol the play by play lady is straight HS level. has she ever seen a baseball game before at teh MLB level?

man, brantley does such a nice job bringing his hands in

Brantley can't hit that 2-2 pitch unless he's 100 PERCENT CERTAIN that a fastball is coming.

puke. 

not even a replay, this broadcast is unwatchable.

sigh

Giolito regressing 

cock shot, just a terrible pitch and got hammered.

Boom goes the dynomite.
