May 17, 201510 yr It's funny that Rowand and Hawk are complimenting each other on a well-announced series, as in truth...it was unconscionably horrible that is why that is funny

Rowand's insights into pitch sequences, mechanics and the mental approaches were more depth than I have heard out of that booth since Jack McDowell sat in last year.

And more importantly, it was a sweep! Five game winning streak into the homestand, time to keep the Tribe from getting any ideas!

He got more comfortable, and did a decent job IMO. The first game, and the third game, were totally different. He improved leaps and bounds.

May 17, 201510 yr I may have had a few beers during the hockey game, but did the Sox really just sweep a series in Oakland??? Wow, I've seen it all. Nice work guys!
May 17, 201510 yr That was an All-Star series for Avi. He now leads the team in OBP and OPS. Other than the baserunning blunder he dominated. Made every play in the outfield and hit the s*** out of the ball. The As radio crew was slobbering on him.
May 17, 201510 yr So nice to see a home run. You really miss that power when you see how hard it can be to score runs with this team with men on. Man, the As defense is horrible.

May 17, 201510 yr Garcia will get his homers. But he's a much better hitter when not shooting for homers. He goes the other way a lot, can cover a lot of area of the plate.

Rowand's insights into pitch sequences, mechanics and the mental approaches were more depth than I have heard out of that booth since Jack McDowell sat in last year. Well said. I have mlb.tv so I watch a lot of other broadcasts when the Sox aren't on. These were by far the best 3 games i've heard announced by far, no homer talking either. The insight these two had was incredible with respect to approach at the plate. When you watch other teams' guys you always get the announcer voice blabbing out stats. Stats? Really? Stats? Playoffs? Practice? Stats? Lol we can all read the stats on the screen chip carey. Thanks bub. Len kasper, thanks for not talking about anything baseball related etc.
May 17, 201510 yr Great couple weeks. Another really good one could put the Sox in a playoff position, believe it or not.
May 17, 201510 yr Back to .500 and now we have to face the AL central again but at least we are at home!

They have a lot of fluff, but they have some excellent pitch sequence commentary which we do not get on our tv team often.
May 17, 201510 yr QUOTE (chw42 @ May 17, 2015 -> 06:46 PM) We get to play the Indians first too. Hoping we can win 3 of 4
May 17, 201510 yr I'm so thrilled we went on a streak, but can't help but be bummed that after 2.5 weeks of really good baseball we are only at .500. I really want this to keep going so that .500 isn't the ghost we are chasing all season after a terrible start.
