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.

this BOS game is insane. it was OVAH when i last checked. now it's OVAH in the complete opposite way.

_________________

How bout the ex-Cubs tonight.

LaStella 2 hits.

Bryant 3-3 with a HR off Buehler. And we didnt want him.

Joc Pederson with a HR off the bench.

The Dodgers showing they are one of the big boys.

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

For those that like good baseball, what a game.

Base runner scores easily.

Yep. I don't recall ever seeing something like that.

What happened?

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
