Colombian pitcher Cuevas was described as being part of the 2018 Sox. Really hard to believe, with an over 7. ERA for that year. My mind is a sieve, I guess, but I don't remember him, at all.
I didn't recall him either. Nine appearances, seven in September and he hasn't pitched in the Majors since. He also pitched in three games for the Sox in '16.Colombian pitcher Cuevas was described as being part of the 2018 Sox. Really hard to believe, with an over 7. ERA for that year.

It’s a big game for the US hopes of advancing, a GBR win would mean if the US wins their last two, they advance.This is how bored I am today (between novels): I actually clapped hard when the Brits tied up the game in the bottom of the fourth against Colombia.
Rich Waltz, he cited Costas as his main influence:I have not watched a single pitch of this until today, and it was the pitch to Harry Ford that just got crunched to left.
Is the PBP guy on this game related to Bob Costas? I can look it up (and will) - but his cadence and word choice can’t be a coincidence. It sounds like someone trying to sound like Costas.
Thankyou! Is it just me or does he sound like he’s trying to be Costas?Rich Waltz, he cited Costas as his main influence:
“ Waltz said he admired the work of national announcers such as Bob Costas and Al Michaels, as well as local talent such as Bill King, Lon Simmons, Hank Greenwald, Vin Scully and Bob Stark”

I didn’t notice but I feel like it’s a few decades since I’ve listened to Costas much.Thankyou! Is it just me or does he sound like he’s trying to be Costas?
The guys need to be able to button and unbutton their jerseys. The reason for their looking cheap is that GBR has almost zero funding.Who thought of these EAT TAIN jerseys?
horrific
Thanks for sharing that.
Can’t they increase the tax on tea?The guys need to be able to button and unbutton their jerseys. The reason for their looking cheap is that GBR has almost zero funding.
Yes his cadence and inflections at times are very Costaesque.Thankyou! Is it just me or does he sound like he’s trying to be Costas?
I’ve seen him in the showers he’s not the Rabbi of anything.Turn's out that the Greek God of Walks might be the Rabbi of Ribbies.
No circumcision???????????????/(And yes, I got your reference.)I’ve seen him in the showers he’s not the Rabbi of anything.
Pretty awesome. His changeup looks filthy.
Yonder AlonsoWow, who is in the booth doing color? He is clearly rooting for P.R.
I have liked him in this WBC (and on mlbn) until tonight. But that was ridiculous. I had to mute, so I don't know if he's kept it up.Yonder Alonso
You were just an inning early, you're ahead of your time.Nicaragua scores one in the first over former Red Sox lefty Eduardo Rodriguez. (Well, I was wrong. I was distracted and would have sworn the guy had scored. They had men all over the bases, but got out of it with a double play.)
Not really. It would be nice if the Sox marathon unis were as good as Columbia's.Colombia rocking Red Sox uniforms.
