Oh yeah?

Good for him. Sweet name, to boot. Would love to hear the Bull Durham announcer talk about him.

I'm a Pham fan. It's nice to have someone with a track record of calling a spade a spade, or at least not coat said spade in bullshit.

They develop them using a cohesive strategy and framework that carries over from level to level. Look at systems like the Dodgers, Guardians, and Braves. Historically, the Sox just shuttle guys and leave it up to the individual affiliate’s staff to give instruction as they see fit.

Pham may well have been justified in his response, but what say you about our broadcaster?

I like Pham.

I am glad I don’t have MLB.tv anymore.

Yeah, that call was cringeworthy. That’s what I would expect out of a high school kid on a student webcast.

…yes. I am married, so I understand this….

Some of the jokes (mostly centered around Tobias) wouldn’t be accepted today, but season 3 of that show was the absolute pinnacle of comedy IMO

I have noticed different behavior with posts using mobile vs. desktop

Death. /scene.

This is the type of organization that would pour far more analytical resources into something like maximizing fan engagement with minimal expense than they would spend on player evaluation and on-field products.

Thanks for explaining and not making me type out the explanation in my 4800 dollar suit.

He needs to keep up appearances. We can't have people thinking players go on the IL right away after an injury. We need to make sure they sit or play hurt for a week or so BEFORE going on the IL. That's the protocol.

Hair up, glasses off.

Sorry - when I said “wrong time,” i meant between the first and last pitches.

Agreed. There's a pretty bold, thick line (not a fine line) between being optimistic and delusional at this point. Schriff is way past that line.

We’re just catching these guys at the wrong time.

He has all the credibility of the North Korean state media at this point.

To paraphrase Lloyd and Harry… pick him up!!

Yeah, i see that / hear that now. either way, would honestly be a good signing IMO.

If he did call the Mets the "worst f'ing team," he should have no problem coming to the Sox, then.

Montoyo at least seemed to make an impression on Luis Robert.

$15M is paying for Benny, whom I consider quite the anchor.
