    The Amazing Criswell?

    I really prefer the old school wide angle shots that showed where the ball landed as well as the fielder chasing it down. A close up of an outfielder running is largely unsatisfying.

    Cleveland 4/23, Houck Yeah, It's Tanner Time

    I was pretty sure that was what I saw, looks like maybe his foot slipped, but NESN couldn't be bothered to show it

    Cleveland 4/23, Houck Yeah, It's Tanner Time

    On a play like that, I want to see a replay or two and see where it went off the rails. Too many shots of guys on the field or in the dugout between plays.

    Yeah, this is ridiculous. Sounds like they're broadcasting from under a tarp

    George Will's Baseball Quiz - Spring 2024

    25/41 Misunderstood the question about having 3 Hall of Famers on consecutive world series teams or I'd have 26. Really enjoyed this!

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    It's well known that he inserted himself into the lineup even though better match ups were available when he was chasing Ty Cobb and the all time hits record. Hell, he needed roughly 2,600 more at bats to get around 60 more hits. Add in the gambling and I'm not sure that the bolded is really...

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    Reminds me of the old joke where the mobsters are shaking down a deaf guy to reveal where he hid the money and his sign language translator doesn't reveal the location when it is given to him, but instead says to the mobsters, "He says you can f*ck off"

    2004 WS Celebration

    If Wakefield had passed in a different year and the Red Sox were to honor him in a year other than 2024 (say, opening day 2023 if he had passed in 2022), there wouldn't be any discussion of that or of the 20th anniversary events. Neither would be seen as a gimmick by itself, so the idea that...

    2004 WS Celebration

    I think it does include Schilling and they're planning to let him lay in whatever bed he's made. I'd be willing to bet that the response from the fans will be mixed. "Sorry, dude, we wanted you here...don't know what got into the fans..."

    Why do they have the sign language interpreters if they don't show them?

    Carl Mays and the "Rape" of the Red Sox

    It doesn't appear that Chapman was Jewish, so Mays wasn't a true Yankee in that sense
