Did anyone else notice Bundy having to stop one of his warmup pitches and say "damn it"?  Masn didnt show the reason he had to abort the pitch, but it looked to me he was pissed that whole inning.  I wonder if he had some issue with Sisco... ??

Like what, he caught him cheating at hearts before the game?

They have been battery mates before.

Bundy knows he can throw whatever he wants.

I missed the very beginning of the broadcast, but who's in the booth with Thorne? I haven't heard that voice before. Is it Olson?

It’s McDonald.

Some people put a lot of emphasis on the stolen base regardless of how little it affects the game. Buck says hello.

The stolen base is important. Buck was constantly talking about pitcher’s time to plate because it was the only stat he understood, haha.

But throwing out 3 of 17 is really bad. I won’t care so much if the offense compensates, but it would be easier to compensate if the D were a bit better.

Oh, cool. I like him so far. Very nasaly voice, though. Probably a loud snorer.

I just rewound it. 

Bundy slipped or stumbled the pitch before. Then the next pitch he said GD. Makes me wonder if he tweaked something.

The steal. On the WP Sisco could not find it right away, little unlucky. Wasn’t like he didn’t square up only. Bundy I thought got to the plate a little late but it did not matter. 

Thanks.

Won't stop people from blaming him.

I think his glove looks much better than last year.

Bundy out. I wonder if he did something to himself when he slipped.

The stolen base isn't very important at all.  Attempts are the lowest they have been in decades and they just don't impact scoring all that much.

Varitek allowed over 100 stolen bases in a season three different times.  Nobody cared.

He started off pretty strong last year then fell off a cliff.  Was an odd year.  Something happened.

Radio fans get Melewski doing play by play and Bordick doing color. I have been listening for the bizarre interest.

Ynoa picking up where Bundy left off.

I heard Ross Grimsley on a radio show awhile ago basically say he was having mental issues. I think his confidence was shot.  

Buck may not of been a good fit for him.
