That was pretty fabulous.Will Middlebrooks may have peaked as a broadcaster with his call on that HR: "Dear God".
The man was right. All sorts of months in the season. No reason to get that worked about the first one.The young man does not lack for confidence:

Curious, why do people post the Tweet and then copy it in text under the Tweet? I see it often. Seems redundant if avoidable.View: https://twitter.com/soxnotes/status/1685129032814493696?s=46
Triston Casas has 7 HR in only 12 games since the All-Star break.

Some folks don't see the tweet itself. Same with youtube videos. It's a courtesy thingCurious, why do people post the Tweet and then copy it in text under the Tweet? I see it often. Seems redundant if avoidable.
to be more specific, some folks are using computers that block social media so if the text isn't copied they have no idea what's being said.Curious, why do people post the Tweet and then copy it in text under the Tweet? I see it often. Seems redundant if avoidable.
Looking at Fangraphs, I'd say it's probably a toss-up between him, Eduardo Julien, and Chas McCormick.Did Casas do enough to win player of the month for July? Not rookie, but overall offensive player ?
Never mind - Ohtani again. God damn this guy is a human cheat code.Looking at Fangraphs, I'd say it's probably a toss-up between him, Eduardo Julien, and Chas McCormick.
Yes, this is me and many others I think. I only have a work computer and social media is blocked.to be more specific, some folks are using computers that block social media so if the text isn't copied they have no idea what's being said.

HA! On phone it looked like cry for help !Think you need to clean your screen.
If nothing else, he's a resourceful young man. I've been known to drop three figures on similar training aids at the PGA Superstore.
Nice, he’s predictably skipped right over the moldy shower shoes.If you OPS .827 in the show, you can dance with a plastic bucket and they'll call you colorful.

@P’tucket my mind also immediately went to various weird golf swing devices and practice techniques. Somewhere a golf pro is taking notes…
A good in-game mic'd up candidate. But he could do it while hitting.A while back they interviewed him on the post-game show and he broke down the entire game. Afterwards one of the guys on the desk was like, well, Triston just did our job for us, what do we talk about now?
They've had him miked up before. A lot of "baby's"A good in-game mic'd up candidate. But he could do it while hitting.
The single best thing he says to the ump when discussing his yelling out pitch locations: "feel free to disagree."They've had him miked up before. A lot of "baby's"
e.g. They caught him chatting up the HP ump before his first at bat. "Just to let you know, I call out stuff for myself as I see it, not trying to upset you, show you up, etc... Alright... cool, have a good game baby. Hey <catcher> . How's it going baby? "

I remember that. I saw the vid, but was it originally live? That's what I meant. Like the ESPN heads were talking to Harris on the Braves the other night during the game.They've had him miked up before. A lot of "baby's"

There is one from 2022 that was live during the game. Nowhere near as fun.I remember that. I saw the vid, but was it originally live? That's what I meant. Like the ESPN heads were talking to Harris on the Braves the other night during the game.
ESPN talked to him that way on Mother's Day. & asked him about his dead mother. I was not happy.I remember that. I saw the vid, but was it originally live? That's what I meant. Like the ESPN heads were talking to Harris on the Braves the other night during the game.
This is incredible stuff. He got painted as a flake when he first came up but he's the furthest thing from it.They've had him miked up before. A lot of "baby's"

That on field interview during the game was the epitome of suck! A low even for ESPN!ESPN talked to him that way on Mother's Day. & asked him about his dead mother. I was not happy.
Well if "flake" = non-normal ball player in which almost every nickname is the first syllable of the player's last name + "y", e.g. Tito's best friend "Marshy", then I'm very glad he's a flake. Thoughful and articulate play very well with a writer such as Dave Lauria (didn't he used to contribute here?) but less so with some of the Sox daily scribes.This is incredible stuff. He got painted as a flake when he first came up but he's the furthest thing from it.
Success breeds confidence breeds successJust echoing how great that interview was but also wanted to say I can understand how he could get caught up in his thoughts and go into slumps, like he did earlier this year. Dude is thinking about a lot and while he says he tries to not think in the box, I could definitely see him struggle with that. I imagine as he gets more ABs and more comfortable with his approach, that will happen less and less.
pfft, you're not a true Cases fan.I love me some Tristan Casas. Even if I can't spell his name.
