Monday, April 24: Red Sox come to town

[Mooreisbetter27]

They need to end this Hays leading off nonsense.

[Hallas]

Is it me or is this catcher getting crossed up a lot?  Just this inning I saw 2 pitches that were probably strikes or close, and Sale didn't get the call because the catcher had to move way across his body to field the pitch.

What is it with Mullins base running from 2nd base.  Thanks to Frazier it didn’t matter. 

What did Mullins do?

Jerry Remy still? That's what turned me off from NESN broadcasts a few years ago.

No, it’s a more boring version of Remy. Joe Castiglione I think. Lots of whining about the umpire without the colorful phrasing.

Wow baseball has changed so much since the 70's.  Imagine walking back to the dugout after flopping on the ground as low as you can while sliding into second base on a DP attempt.   I think some old school guys would of mocked you hard seeing that.

You guys really will find anything to complain about in these threads. LOL.

Remy died of lung cancer a year or two ago.

Kremer should buy the Ump a steak dinner.  Thats  great gift call 

[O's84]

Adley got that strike with his pitch framing.

[FlaO'sFan]

Kremer has had the benefit of several pitches called strikes that weren't. Not that you can tell by the score, though.

A Hanukkah present?  Not Palmers greatest moment LOL

I'm sorry to hear that. He was a good ballplayer and certainly popular in Boston as a broadcaster.

Palmer called it a Hanukkah present.

A minute or so after he quoted Shakespeare.

I don't think he ever did radio. As someone else pointed out, he passed and was replaced by Eckersley in the TV booth, but I think Eck is gone now too.

We need another run or two here.
