It's more of a nostalgia thing really, as he and Jim Caple were the first baseball writers I followed billions of years ago, back when ESPN had Page 2 and Hunter S Thompson was a contributing writer. Jesus, I know exactly the period you're talking about. And now I am nostalgic for Ralph Wiley too, also on Page 2 in those days I think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manhole Eunuchsbane Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Drew Stubbs breaks up the no-no in the bottom of the 6th, but the universally despised Dodgers hold a 3-0 lead through no real fault of their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nothing less than ESPN throwing in the towel on serious baseball coverage. Going forward, Baseball Tonight will only have one regular weekly spot; as a preview show for Sunday Night Baseball. Forget 'serious' coverage, ESPN isn't covering baseball (or hockey) at all anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, seemed like he managed to foul off some good pitches. Just a hell of an at bat, methinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew they wouldn't be able to replace Ortiz's production but their offense has just gone feckless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're dead last with a hr every 65 ab's(next closest team is SF at 51), and top 5 in avg while being bottom 5 in runs. It's obviously only April but you guys desperately need a bopper. Betts is a stud but I doubt 30 hr seasons are gonna be the norm for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping some of the slack would pick up with Benintendi, who actually hit one tonight to make the difference against the Cubs. But there's been practically nothing from Hanley, Bogaerts, Bradley, or Pedroia (whose power may just not come back). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't even look like he swung hard. Machado's home run was crazy; over the restaurant and almost to the standing room only section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
