Pre game show.

[Natty]

What a great thing for the show to have at least 2 ballplayers on the panel who have been found guilty of cheating (steroids).

What two were found guilty?

As far as I am concerned Jeter was cheating that time he lied about getting hit with the ball. 

But lots of folks think that type of "gamesmanship" is acceptable.

A Rod and Ortiz.

I don't think Ortiz was every officially found guilty of anything. 

Just leaks and speculation.  I wouldn't group him with the Dee Gordons and Brian Roberts of the sport.

[Tbone83]

Dontrelle Willis and Jeter would make for a good pregame. Ortiz is just a clown and Arod sucks.

Oh shut up Papi. The stadium has never been full before? That's a fact? I was there in 2014

"That’s right. ESPN has just confirmed that Red Sox designated hitter was among the more than 100 Major League Baseball players to test positive for steroids in 2003."

"The news that David Ortiz was identified as a steroid user was released alongside information that Manny Ramirez tested positive for steroids in 2003 as well..."

 

 

[Say O!]

That pregame show was atrocious and just filled with old trope cliches.  No insight whatsoever.

That would be a leak, not an official declaration of guilt.  Remember no Red Sox players were mentioned in the Mitchell report.  Something that I am sure was a complete coincidence and had nothing to do with Mitchell having ties to the team.

I'm sure he used.  I'm sure a lot of guys used.  He's not officially considered a user, is part of how he got in the Hall.

So they gave the roids boys an extra hour of talking and then skipped Joan Jett. Terrible job by FS1.

[Frobby]

ARod and Jeter both picked the O’s to win the series.  I love them now.  

Ortiz picked the Rangers.   He’s a loser who knows nothing about baseball.

My issue was not showing introductions. 

[Babkins]

They should have asked A-Rod about how loud it can get at OPACY. His strikeout against Jim Johnson to end Game 2 of the 2012 ALDS was famously recorded at well in excess of 110 decibels.

I was disappointed about that too. There was no excuse for them not to show it.  I think that MASN would have shown the intros if the start of the game hadn't been delayed.

Especially since they already had a normal pregame show with the delay. Don’t need to hear from the studio anymore.
