Oh man. To each his own, but I think he's by far the best in the business.

I think we should totally trade one of the two Pawsox youngsters who have (if you will permit me a little overstatement) turned our season around. That's a great idea. We finally have a little energy and have gotten on a hot streak, so we should trade our .450 OBP leadoff hitter for some scrub AA reliever. That's brilliant!

Especially in games where one of the national crews has the telecast we get to hear the latest rendition of....WMB will certainly slow down once opposing pitchers find his weaknesses and pitch to them which is of course true to some extent.

 

One thing I have however noticed that might help him as pitchers do find chinks in his armor is that his strength at the plate does not appear to be determined by particular pitches that he just eats up. Much of the success WMB appears to enjoy comes from really making pitchers pay for the classic mistake pitches.

 

It does not matter who the hitter is, pitchers don't want to throw right down main street with little on the ball. The difference is that at least right now...make that kind of mistake to WMB and he does not miss it and when he hits it he hits is really hard.

 

There are a number of guys throughout the history of baseball that made their reputations by being terrific mistake hitters, guys that you could get out if you did not make a mistake to them but make one and you were watching the thing go over the wall. That might be what we have in WMB. If that is the case, then as pitchers and scouts dismantle his swing and look for weaknesses, while they will likely find them, I don't wonder that it will be hard to rob him of his ability to really make you pay for the classic mistake pitches.

Scully is the best ever. His games are a work of art. He does both color and play by play. He's a solo act every night, and he has been announcing games since the early 1950's. He's amazing.

BTR, don't forget that Sunday is a day game. Don't sleep through the game and forget to make the GT.
