Epic list today.

Today's not Gagne's birthday. Shame, he would blend well with that list.

NESN team of Emma and Alanna announcing tonight's game... hope they keep in present-tense. 

No OB "He's gonna walk him," after Ball Four has already been called. He's gonna listen to announcers calling a game in real time.

I’m sure they’ll be fine . It’s still the same game. But you do get use to the same voices to an extent.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

What happened to OB's voice?

How do you want your Bergert?

Does Bres know this when he sends them down ? 

Bernardino may have a tired arm and trying to pace him for the long run.   Criswell they may need in less than 15 days from the send down

Abreu Ks on a ball nearly in the dirt. 
There have to be stats listing which teams swing most at balls out of the zone. Seems like the Flops do it more than most.

You are quite kind with that remark. They are squeaky, try hards.. very unnatural. Not a fan of female play by play people. 

[YastrzemskI]

We need to be fed info about Donnie Wahlberg during the game.. thank God 🙄

They talk too much

Good lord do they ever. I always wanted to know what two squirrels would sound like while calling a game..

Somebody doesn’t watch the Sea Dogs

[FredLynn]

Turns out the Flops have THE highest chase rate in baseball. The Dodgers have the lowest. At least from what I can find. I looked it up but I can’t paste it here for some reason.

She can't stop talking which is a fault on a televised game. Also fails to recognize pitches ( location) about as much as MLB umpires do.   But worth a different look and sound once in a while.

Is the RS Nation ready for the day that Crochet doesn't win every game he pitches, either from lack of run support or   bad day on the mound.     Just be emotionally ready to accept it.

He has truly become an ACE and/or stopper but even Garrett will likely lose 1 of 3 or 4 outings.

Somewhere over the next 2 months there will be a 4 or 5 game skid during which they sky will fall .

For now, the playoffs are not only achievable but the Sox with a decent winning  percentage may be in a favorable position.

Im in California. I wouldn’t have a clue how to even find their games. I doubt they’re available anywhere here.

You typically don’t have a clue so it’s not surprising 

[YastrzemskI]

Jeez.. have these two women ever listened to someone like Jon Miller, Vin Scully call games??
 

This play by play duo is just straight up brutal. Perhaps the worst I have ever heard do a baseball game. Yikes.. that’s not hyperbole, sadly.  High pitched: Yap yap yap yap yap yap yap yap yap yap yap… who okayed these two?

We saw the Sox without an ace (22-24) and it was ugly.
