BoSox vs. Rays will be an unbelievable series.

Hard to believe Tampa had 100 wins, and led Boston by 8 games.

Atlanta vs Milwaukee tomorrow

Dodgers somehow favored in Game 1 vs Giants. Buehler must be pitchin'.

The Rays are so deep. It should be a great series.

Plus Dave Wills and Andy Freed might be the best radio duo in the game today. It's probably still Jon Miller and Dave Flemming, but Flemming is a bit of a prick and Miller is getting a bit too old.

So when the guy from 3rd takes off for home on the pitch does that just become a play at the plate and that is all the umpire is looking at or does it also count as a pitch and a ball/strike?

If the pitcher steps off the rubber, it's not a pitch. If he doesn't, he risks balking with his motion.

Gotcha. Watching it live I thought he went thru with the pitch, but watching it again I see that he stepped off the rubber before throwing home

I'm not a regular listener, but I tuned in tonight for a few innings. Wills was pretty much missing in action for the entire period of time. In fact, when I first tuned in I thought Freed was flying solo.

Sox had chances to bring Wills in on both TV and radio but chose not to.

I assume JR did not like his work as he was a voice of the fan back when he worked pre and post.

I think he would be the next beloved broadcaster in this town

I'm listening again. Wills has to be playing the McKnight role here, right? If he's not, I don't know what the he'll he's doing. This broadcast is just Freed having a conversation with himself. I enjoyed Wills doing pre and post in the early 00's, but if this is what he brings to a play-by-play booth, hard pass for me.

Edit: Now Freed appears to have handed it over to Wills, but it's just Wills by himself and now Freed is M.I.A.

Posey hit a 2-run HR off Buehler in the first inning.

Ex-cub LaStella scored.

ex-Cub Bryant got a smash hit off him in the 2nd.

Boston and Tampa in a slugfest.

Boston has exploded.

Chris Sale gave up 5 in the first.

Down 5-2, Boston now leads 12-6.

They have exploded against guess who? Michael Wacha. Remember they beat him in the 2013 WS.

Thats the sign of a good team. They can come back on the road and slug. The Sox woulda been deflated after being down 5-2.

By the way, Sale was taken out after 1 inning. Why? Why are pitchers being so babied?

It worked out though, as Houck pitched the next 5 solid innings.

Because he gave up five runs in the first inning when his team in down 1-0 in a five game series.

It is sad but baseball is barely on in Vegas. The little tv in the MGM book. Yes football is great but baseball is my love. I wish people loved it like I do.

The guy on the rays hit one over the head of the right fielder it bounced off the wall , hit the right fielder and bounced into the bullpen. The rays had a runner on base that would’ve scored easily had the ball stayed in play
