I don’t think he overtly dislikes John, Jason, or even Hawk. Otherwise he wouldn’t have stuck around for 2 decades.Seems to me his biggest pet peeve is when Schriff asks him to draw from his pitching experience to comment on things that are somewhat out of place.“So Steve, we’re looking at Noah Shultz, young kid, really struggling here to get outs. What would you do back in the day to kind of… reset… and try to take a breath? Would you ever do that and would that ever help you get back in the game? What do you think Noah is going through and thinking right about now.”If the camera went to the booth, I swear we would see Stone looking at John like he wants to punch him while he’s glowing red. You can just hear it in his voice by how he responds.“Something like that John. Yes.” 😆

I think he’s clearly getting special treatment because he’s been with the Sox for so long. When you’re his age and have been as loyal to a team as you have been, you tend to get some special privileges. He’s pushing 80. He’s made generational wealth. I don’t think he even has any kids? I don’t think he really cares about the money. Edited 1 hour ago1 hr by AntMan26

He’s coasting/milking it at this point.

Same with when Hawk was still around and so many people would talk s%*#.Then he retires and you see the “options” that end up replacing him… immediately everyone wishes we still had Hawk around.Speaking of which - imagine how hard core he would be in on this team and these games. Dude would be through the moon and blowing a gasket in the best possible way.

I would be thrilled if they would figure out a way to get Pleasac on the call.
