Alright, might be something of a ballgame now...

That massive secondary lead TA was getting certainly helped there.

Makeup call there for the 0-0 on that 2-0 pitch...

Anyone remember when Graveman averaged 91mph on his FB and Kd less than 6 per 9? Wild times.

When the Red Sox beat the Yankees 6-2 on Tuesday, Joey Gallo followed a one-out ninth-inning home run with a towering 370-foot fly out. Kind of wonder if drama would have ensued had it gone out to make it 6-3. Rookie pitcher on mound.

Grandal smoked it 103.8 mph but to the wrong place

Per Red Sox reporter Peter Abraham on Twitter: “Red Sox radio broadcasters Joe Castiglione and Will Flemming are on hand for a road game for the first time since 2019.”

I wondered about that, David. They were doing the away games from their booth at Fenway all season, at times reporting on a concert going on there while calling the game off of the TV feed.

Road broadcasts were pretty nuts this year, especially with the limited number of cameras.
AvatarDavid Laurila

Other teams' radio broadcasters -- not a ton, but some -- started showing up at Fenway in the second half of the season. They were all relieved and pleased to be calling game live.
AvatarJon Becker

I can't even imagine how difficult broadcasting remotely must've been.
AvatarDavid Laurila
7:26
It was worse for broadcasters in the minors, as they had lower-quality feeds to call games off of.
7:28
While we're on the subject, both the Astros and White Sox have fantastic broadcast teams. As high-quality as the TV guys are, radio is even better.

After I sign a star shortstop free agent, what SP do I add to the top of my rotation? Any interesting trades out there?
AvatarJon Becker
7:29
I doubt Chris Ilitch signs off on two expensive FA signs so it'd have to be via trade, yes. Not sure how available he'd be but Frankie Montas would be a good get.

This baseball contest appears to be limping toward a benign finish. Anyone have a good, fairly concise (and clean) joke they can share?

A termite walks into the bar and asks, "Is the bar tender here?"

What's a Pirate's favorite movie? Anything rated Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Where do Pirates eat when they're on land? aRRRRRRRRRRRRRby's (I worked at a summer camp; I can do this all day)

Is Pirate your only genre?

Dusty giving some of his best relievers work makes a certain amount of sense, but at the same time, it's a tad questionable.

Did you hear the joke about the pop fly? Forget it, it's way over your head
What's a Pirate's Favorite Letter?

You'd think it is R, but their true love be the C.

Bigger groaner, this game or the jokes?
Luke Hooper

the jokes.

I think this is beyond questionable.

I have to think that this is bc they haven't pitched since Saturday or Sunday
AvatarJon Becker

Perfect pitch by Pressly
Luke Hooper

That was pretty

There will be a lot of great postseason games, and we'll have chats for most, but today wasn't one of them. Definitely appreciate so many people sticking around until the end, even though we haven't had much to discuss in terms of drama or decisions.
AvatarJon Becker

Yes, thank you to all of us for joining us! As this game/chat nears its end, a reminder that there'll be chats tomorrow during both NL games!
7:43
Oh hey, a questionable check-swing call!
Luke Hooper
7:43
Now it feels like a real game!
AvatarJon Becker
7:44
Aaaaand that'll do it. Thanks all for joining us!
Luke Hooper
7:44
Wow, what a play to end it!
7:45
Have a good night everyone. We'll see you tomorrow!
AvatarDavid Laurila

That was that. Final thoughts: Graveman and Pressley threw more pitches than was idea. The Astros are in a good spot now given this is a five-game series. Lastly, thanks everyone for chatting.
