OB going thru and introducing the Cleveland lineup: “Naylor, he’s not hitting much”. OB as Naylor drills it to right field for an rbi “Naylor is RED HOT right now”. Lol.
Agree. And OB is much more relaxed and natural with him as well. Actually listening to the NESN audio today instead of my usual WEEI since I saw it was Merloni.
The Wacha thing was puzzling me too. There was something the front office didn’t like I guess but 4/26 doesn’t seem like a lot of downside. If he over performs he holds out? Dunno. If he under performs he’s only 4/26. Versus Paxton and Kluber and Sale’s extension (or Eovaldi’s FA contract if you prefer) it seems like a bargain. (And yes I’m cherry picking but I am also not indicting the entire FO staff for every move they’ve made just expressing my confusion over this one). Maybe Wacha didn’t want to come back to Boston so it was all moot??
Yup whatever. Please quote me and get the last word in so we can move on. You are arguing your opinion with multiple users and are converting no one. But keep at er.
I’d like to see the broadcasts drop the K zone graphic. Let the ump have his zone and the players/managers adjust. That said, it requires consistency from the umps which is a whole other can of worms.
