Schedule some bullpen days started by Kopech. Bummer looks back and with Kimbrel, you ought to be able to stretch Kopech out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a great way to put it. He goes nice and easy, engages Stone appropriately, and most importantly, doesn’t try and jam so much of the cornball routine into every available second during the telecast. Don’t get me wrong, I think Benetti is a good announcer. I just think he could be far better if he took a page out of Kasper’s book. Maybe in time.

Benneti more suited toward basketball, boxing, MMA. Baseball is too slow for his style and taste. Just hope he stays so us radio listeners get him for 120 or so games a year. Len and DJ are great. Is Len at the park, or still out of the Jerry Springer studios in NBC tower? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Benetti left he wouldn't take the TV job I wouldn't be so sure on the final statement. He left for a radio job now, but didn't say he wanted to move and remain on radio broadcasts the rest of his life. Steve Stone also took a radio job with the Sox to transition into TV. The Sox have a better handle on the timeline for Steve (retire) and Jason (leave for something else). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am so scared now for any player who has to strain themselves running down the first base line. Keep thinking another injury is going to happen. Hopefully his gf is nursing it for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
