I still can't believe they called the ball Kouz hit to LF a "hit".

Kouz must be sleeping with the official scorer...

In addition to being given a double on the hit to Byrnes…he also had a clear error overturned on that grounder hit by Byrnes that scored a run.

I think it's a knock on Byrnes

even though he was close to it, they still think he never had a chance.

Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔

Dave Roberts has been doing the play by play

for the sox games on NESN every once in a while, He is soooo bad. His voice sounds so goofy.

Field Level 10

I’m looking forward to a better experience than the last time I saw CY pitch in the Latrine…I believe he gave up 7 runs through 2 2/3 in that game last year.

And you are not kidding about the death threats…it REALLY crosses the line when some male Dger fans assault women Padre fans. Truly pathetic.

GO FRIAR! GO AGONE!
