    Haven't really noticed anything other than mispronouncing Callaspo.

    I feel Thorne does a good job of covering the amateur announcers though.

    Opening K is always nice...all fastballs so far, which I wasn't expecting.

    He knows what he's talking about, but you can tell he's uncomfortable. That can only be helped with more experience. When he gave the keys to BMat's success tonight, and then had to give the advertisement information, that just sounded terrible. It was as if someone tapped him on the shoulder and said, here, don't forget to read this.

    It's not a matter of mispronouncing words, etc., IMO. It's just...he doesn't say very useful things.

    Like...Matusz needs to command his pitches to use his pitches? (paraphrase) That made me shudder slightly.

    Actually, wasn't it a low strike? Looked like good hitting to me.

    Hah...yes. I'll just hope he gets more comfortable as the season wears on.

    New glove for Matusz. He used to have a black Wilson A2000 guy for years. Appears to be a new tan Rawlings glove.

    Pretty sure Thorne just said, "The Yankees have a 1-0 lead."

    Goodness, Matusz needs help.
