Joe, how about stop talking during the pitch?
I dunno. The game doesnt count. I can see the pitcher and hitter. Let them have an actual conversation. Its not like I hear Trout or Harper talk ever other than a post game sound bit.

It doesn't count but it's still a game so let them play it without distraction. There's enough distraction when they're not on the field. Soon they will follow them into the shitter.

Yeah, both Trout and Harper looked mighty perturbed. Its a game. Let them have some fun with it. I'm sure they could say no. I'll bet that at least 27 people who saw Harper changed their minds for the better about him after that..

Caught by a Red Sox fan
How do you know he's a Sox fan. Maybe he was visiting an impoverished country in December 1986.

Except the "conversation" is about the interviewees facial hair, at the exact moment he's trying to provide at least a base level of professional baseball-playing.

I think Mike Matheny hacked staz's account.

A massive thunderstorm blew through the area during the bottom of the first and interferes with TV reception so I completely missed that half inning and the second. How did Sale look?

Fucking Buck trying to bro it up with these 25-30 year old athletes is cringeworthy.

I did like Smoltz' question to Harper about whether the field looks different from center field compared to right field. Half-expected Harper to dust off "that's a clown question, bro"

Baez hit a single but other than that, he looked real good.
