March 30, Year of our Pedro 2023, OPENING DAY

[BornToRun]

Even the great Pedro Martinez once surrendered a first inning HR. We got this!

But do you think Kluber throws hard enough to put Jeter and Soriano in the hospital?

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

No strike zone graphic anymore.

 

[Jim Ed Rice in HOF]

No K zone on the broadcast? Turner didn't have a beef.

 

[DadOfFenway]

Okay... tied game.

.... Didn't seem like he beefed to me?

Looked further in than that live but still seemed a strike to me.

 

[budcrew08]

Hopefully, Kluber can calm down and get into a rhythm for a few innings.

 

[chrisfont9]

Guessing we will see teams try to jam Yoshida for a while.

 

[waffles.]

Initially I hated that strike zone graphic but I've gotten used to it. NESN needs to bring it back.

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

No K zone, and NESN doesn't carry the pitch clock so we're always going to have to wait until the count changes or random unpitched strikeout or walk to happen for us to know the pitcher is violating it?

 

[chrisfont9]

So MLB TV stops my feed if I click away during an ad, and then I'm behind in the game? Awesome.

That.... did not happen for me.

I’m sure the umpire will make it known.

Mine did that last year, but isn't doing it this year.

 

[Rovin Romine]

If I was Joe C, I'd have stuck a pencil into Flemming long ago.

I don't think anyone is showing the pitch clock, are they? You can't see it in the Giants-Yankees game, either (at least on the Giants broadcast).

 

[Merkle's Boner]

Pitch clock pops up at 10 seconds

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

K-K-K-Kluber

 

[phrenile]

Since when is "sweeper" a pitch type?

Since last year.

 

[moretsyndrome]

Pair o' shoes!

 

[chrisfont9]

OK, might just be on my end, thanks

It's in NESN's score bug when it gets low

 

[BornToRun]

Be happy to get him through 5 at this point

 

[Merkle's Boner]

Pretty impressive ABs so far from the O’s. These are a different brand of Oriole.

 

[AB in DC]

No K zone, and NESN doesn't carry the pitch clock so we're always going to have to wait until the count changes or random unpitched strikeout or walk to happen for us to know the pitcher is violating it?

MASN (finally got it working) has K zone and a popup when the clock gets to :08. The clock pop-up is annoying but I'm amazed any TV production these days go without a K zone.

 

[DadOfFenway]

Adam Frazier really fell off.... thought he was better last year than that

 

[Ferm Sheller]

No K zone, and NESN doesn't carry the pitch clock so we're always going to have to wait until the count changes or random unpitched strikeout or walk to happen for us to know the pitcher is violating it?

Unless violations become common, I'd rather not see the pitch clock. What a distraction for something that will (hopefully) rarely be violated.

 

[brandonchristensen]

No strike zone graphic anymore.

I prefer this, I hope it sticks across the league.

 

[Red(s)HawksFan]

I think they're still working out the kinks with the score bug. It would go in and out even in spring training games as far as showing the hitter name and the pitch clock. It appears they're defaulting to the old bug in the meantime.

 

[mauidano]

Where is our friend @E5 Yaz ?

 

[chrisfont9]

Rutschman up third next inning. Get the first two and just pitch around him.

 

[The Gray Eagle]

NESN won't tell me the batter's name, and no K zone. While Jinx O'Brien constantly blathers. Can't believe I pay $30 a month for this awful network.

 

[DadOfFenway]

Yok is doing alright... but man I miss Eck.

Red Sox to triple in the team’s first plate appearance of a season: Alex Verdugo (2023 vs. BAL) Rabbit Warstler (1931 at NYY) Ossie Vitt (1921 at WSH)

 

[Wallball Tingle]

Digital ads on the mound make baby Jesus cry.

He really struggled badly last year. I don't expect him to be that bad with the O's this year, and I think he was a good addition to their team. I don't think their pitching is quite there yet, but their offense is going to be tough from top to bottom.

 

[Mr. Stinky Esq.]

Pitching scared of Casas..

 

[The Filthy One]

Casas and Yoshida are going to work some pitchers this year.

 

[BornToRun]

I look forward to Casas getting off to a good start and getting an extension midway through the season. everyone else is doing it.

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

Where is our friend @E5 Yaz ?

fixing the TV antenna at the Senior Center

Digital ads on the mound make baby Jesus cry.

not new this year, but yeah, they suck

 

[mauidano]

C’mon Triston, right in your wheelhouse. Guessed wrong.

 

[Sprowl]

Casas thought he'd get another cutter. He got the middle-middle changeup instead.

Ah well. Good chess match there.

 

[The Gray Eagle]

Whatever college intern is directing this broadcast couldn't show us a replay of that called strike 3.

 

[Rovin Romine]

NESN won't tell me the batter's name, and no K zone. While Jinx O'Brien constantly blathers. Can't believe I pay $30 a month for this awful network.

Yoshida is the guy with the beard. Casas is the little one.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Yok is doing alright... but man I miss Eck.

From watching other teams' games, I have decided that retired pitchers give me the most interesting info on the broadcasts.

 

[Van Everyman]

Where is our friend @E5 Yaz ?

Death by avocado fries.

 

[Merkle's Boner]

Pitch clock seems to be impacting the hitters more than the pitchers so far.

Thanks, yeah that's fine. No need to know until it goes low. I think I got used to a few of those obnoxiously placed clocks in spring training parks!

 

[derekson]

I think Youk is great, he was last year and his form is only getting better.
