Yeah. This bottom 8th/9th inning is gonna be done in 10 minutes.

Suck it, JR and Getz.

Don't worry guys. If Julks, and/or Lee get on we have Beni, Mendick, and Lopez to bring em home!

Julks is a gamer.

This is probably inaccurate but I have not felt that the Sox were together as a team since maybe spring, 2021. 

This has to be it for Benintendi for a whole. Absolutely terrible all around player.

Brebbia ain't fooling anyone. 

Another awful bullpen signing 

I never realized how big of a guy McCann is.

Michael Kopech, the lefty specialist. Bring him in to face one lefty then he's done. why?

He’s an embarrassment to baseball, the Sox franchise, Hahn who signed him, and Getz who continues to employ him.  No surprise here.  Pretty much status quo for the Sox.

That relay to DeJong and throw home was as mediocre as it gets

Remember when Westburg was the top player offered for Cease?  He’d be this team’s best hitter by far.  ?

He's emotionally crushed...his dad will be tweeting in his defense this evening.

Kimbrel sucks...which means it will be a 12 pitch/1-2-3 9th.

Does his dad really tweet? The only Sox dad I saw tweeting was Rick Giolito and it drove me nuts. 

This team isn’t going to be good again for years, and that’s only if Jerry passes and they get lucky.

Krimbrel time.

I hope Pham gets traded to a WS bound team, he deserves it. f*** the rest of these scrubs

You CAN quantify those odds.  We know historical information for 10s of thousands AB, complete with counts, match ups, situations etc.  But odds and probabilities are all they are.  You are trying to make them into something omniscient with all you are putting on them.  It's not perfect for sure, but it is WAY more accurate than pure randomness.

my question is, why do they put it on the screen as though it tells you anything? "39% strikeout probability" why not just put down there "hey it's bad when you have 2 strikes, you better be careful, you might strike out". I think that's more honest about what's probably going to happen. They could also just do nothing like every other broadcast. I didn't like when they added the strike zone box in either, pretty soon the overlay is going to be so extreme you can't even see the baseball being played. I'm just wondering who this is marketed toward, somebody who likes data but doesn't understand baseball? I I'm going to make an educated guess and say it's for the gambler's benefit. 

I'm thinking about how Benetti wanted to talk about WOBA and such on the broadcast, but who really gives a s%*#? Does the stats nerd just want to feel noticed or something? He can look these things up himself and that's more fun and you can get the specifics of what you're looking for. You don't need apple bot telling you "hey if he gets a hit here, it'll probably score a run". What does the 9-year-old think when he sees it, I wonder. Maybe it inspires an interest in math and probability but probably he's just going to start using draftkings on mom's phone and how he's got a system.

I could tell he wanted to charge out to CF and slap Cowser down. 

Cowser robs Pham of a HR in CF to end it.
