4/7- 1:10 PM ET vs TB: We're Playing on YouTube? We Most Definitely Are.

[agibson2000]

Been watching it on my tv, past set of commercials I’ve been seeing have been the ‘08 ALCS here or that grey commercial screen. I happen to pull it up on my iPad, and my pad was actually ahead of my tv which is newer, but whatever

 

[Ferm Sheller]

"Just a strong ninth and they'll be on their way." WTF does that mean? They can give up 7 runs. And on their way where? Baltimore?

 

[phrenile]

Guys, it's only in extras that you put a guy on second base for no good reason.

 

[reggiecleveland]

Are Pena and Smoltz having a 'worst long speech' contest?

 

[Yo La Tengo]

I've always felt that the easiest improvement MLB could make to the game experience would be a massive upgrade in announcers and graphics, camera angles, presentation, etc. Lots of experimentation and fan feedback. And it wouldn't even be that expensive.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Didn’t foresee a sweep TO Baltimore and a sweep OF Tampa. Woot.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Man the Rays just have not looked good this series. It's now more evident that ever that their playoff run last year was the definition of being on a heater. They really miss Blake Snell.

 

[phrenile]

"to put another point on the board"

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Did someone just say that they'd take Judge over Mookie because Mookie's impact just isn't the same in the Toilet?

I think Smoltz was talking strictly defensively because toilet's RF is much smaller than Fenway's RF.

It's still a dumb comparison IMO - Judge is a fine RF but the ballpark dimensions do very little in changing evaluation for me. Smoltz a dumb dumb

 

[scotian1]

Come on Taylor for Pete's sake.

 

[Rovin Romine]

So Cora, is this our bases-loaded guy in a tight game, or our garbage-inning guy?

 

[joe dokes]

I dislike the guy. The youtubers are just hacks, but there's nothing more irritating than a team's play-by-play guy who thinks he's the main attraction. His opinions are stupid hot-takes and his stories are boring. Just tell me what's going on on the field.

Like I was blind, and not sitting next to you in the booth, asking about your family.

It could be my Lumerloni Earplugs, but I think Flemming gets worse with the 3man booth. He seemed much better in ST when it was just him and Joe and even just him and Bradford. It's tougher when there isn't a dedicated pbp/analyst.

 

[DJnVa]

Have to love youtube's strikezone.

Well, a touch less dumb than I thought.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

This guy is trying to make the Eric Gagne horrific goatee a thing again.

 

[joe dokes]

Does Taylor have options?

 

[phrenile]

Water.

 

[pokey_reese]

Water! Sweep complete!

 

[Soxaholic]

.500 WATER!!!

 

[BornToRun]

Sweep water!

 

[mauidano]

SWEEP!!!! .500 baseball!

 

[moonshotmanny]

Sweep Water!!!!

 

[strek1]

I Love this DIRTY WATER YouTube!

 

[nvalvo]

Does Taylor have options?

Yes, 2.

 

[Miniman]

Water!! And a sweep.

 

[Remagellan]

Water! Sweet afternoon water!! Sweet, sweeping afternoon water!!!

 

[Rovin Romine]

Sweet. Under/Over-achieving for .500.

I'm feeling much better about the season though.

 

[rajendra82]

.500 Water.

 

[joe dokes]

Not just a sweep. Two blowouts and a gut punch.

 

[azsoxpatsfan]

Water!

 

[joe dokes]

Momentum is tomorrow's starting pitcher.

 

[Coachster]

Water!

Does Taylor have options?

You served this up on a platter. You mean like finding a job he can actually do?

 

[boxosII]

 

[mauidano]

Scott Braun should never have to do PBP again. He is horrendous. He is ridiculously cheesy on MLB network programs as well.

 

[mauidano]

A trophy for the game huh? Used to get a $10 gift certificate from Shaw's Market or something.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

I like this team. Seems they have a shot to be pretty decent.

 

[TomBrunansky23]

Nate gets a participation trophy

 

[Rovin Romine]

As much as I mocked the youtube coverage, I have to say, not having commercials is nice. Very nice.

I'd put up with a lot for that.

 

[Ale Xander]

Does Taylor have options?

Do the Red Sox have options?

 

[normstalls]

Nate seems like a really good dude, I like him. (I rarely get to see the post game interviews because I am out of market)

 

[mauidano]

And it looks like they are taking the trophy back from Nate!

 

[Sam Ray Not]

Oh noooo! We don’t suck again!

 

[normstalls]

Anyone have any idea why Taylor hucked the ball at the Sox dugout after the game? He looked angry too.
(I assumed it was some inside thing, but seemed unusual)

 

[koufax32]

That was fun.

Like others have said, this will be a fun team to watch this year.

 

[Norm Siebern]

Norms thinking alike. I was wondering the same thing. Any ideas? Enquiring minds want to know.

 

[trekfan55]

 

[Al Zarilla]

YouTube, huh? Another place to look for television of Sox games. JCizzle did report this before the game started. I just didn't look.

 

[normstalls]

Norms thinking alike. I was wondering the same thing. Any ideas? Inquiring minds want to know.

Best I can see on Twitter is the general consensus is he was pissed he gave up a run. Apparently he has a little red ass in him.

 

[Apisith]

Let’s win tomorrow to go first in the AL East. Just like we all drew it up after getting swept last week.

 

[richgedman'sghost]

Who's in talking on the broadcast besides Smoltz and PBP guy?

Carlos Pena
