Rays lost game one of the DH.

I'm predicting a high scoring game w/ Irvin and Waldichuk on the mound.

How many Star Wars references will Kevin Brown work into the broadcast?

Well when you have the reputation of commanding the strike zone you are just going to naturally get some calls.

 

The whole, Mr Musial will let you know when you throw a strike thing.
