Have to say that I've missed the BROCKHOLT. I hope he can pitch better than every(non-Steven-Wright)one.

Sounds like the guy still feels a little woozy sometimes. I hope this is the right decision.

Remy says he's scheduled to be off Saturday and playing Sunday.

...and a bit of extremely dubious outfield play that, but for an amazing play by Koji, would have cost us the lead.
quite right. overt aggressive there. He's usually a good outfielder though, so hopefully just a aberration. Nice to see him back, and hitting.

Is this the result of an amnio? I'm confused. Who is the woman hugging BROCK?
Brock's wife. This is how they found outa out the gender of their baby. A lot of people do surprise "unveilings" now. Not many get to do it at Fenway!

But wouldn't they be told at the amnio itself? Did they ask the doctor to keep it a secret so that they could find out in this flashy way? This is very odd to me. Nothing is real anymore, everything is public?

Doesn't always have to be public, but typically how this works is the couple will designate a confidant who the doctor is allowed to tell so that they can set up a "reveal" party to surprise the parents-to-be and anyone else they wish to inform. At the only reveal party I've attended, the reveal was in the cake. Plain white icing on the outside and they cut into it to find pink cake meaning they were having a girl.

Not sure why people are talking about amnios here; gender is typically revealed via ultrasound around 18-20 weeks in the pregnancy, so I guess baby Steve is due sometime in early to mid November, so maybe Brock can go on a massive pre-baby hitting spree all through October ala JBJ?

We just had a reveal yesterday for my nephew's baby. When they did the ultrasound the Dr gave them ultrasound pics and a note stating that it was a girl in a sealed envelope. They brought that note to the bakery who opened the envelope and created a pink cake that we cut in to at the party. The bakery also included the envelope in the box, the bakery knew exactly what to do so they've clearly done this several times before.
It's kind of neat but everything is an event now, it really is amazing.
