Buck and Dan do the International Broadcast of the World Series for MLB. When I posted that Buck had returned from illness the flood of replies and likes was never ending.

Buck is a Living Legend.

Buck is great - 'I could always catch...just couldn't hit' brilliant. His voice is so soothing when he calls the games - him and Tabby make a great team. Great win by the Jays last night.

They are an unbeatable combunation, Buck with his soothing somewhat ducky voice and Dan with his sonorous timbre. But I would like to ask Dan a question, does he miss calling games with John Kruk?

Vlady and Ria Ciuffo carried their baby fat into their 20's. Vlad was getting to the point of losing his last year but the lockout saw him put weight back on.Currently Vlady is on pace for MVP considerations. Ria Ciuffo was somewhat dumpy when she started as an intern on Barstool Sports. She got a permanent job due to her on-air mic skills, her looks were secondary.

Look at her now.

I highly doubt it. He had to totally dumb down to work with Kruk, and Schilling as well. Those guys are morons. Dan must have cringed every time he had to work with those guys.

We are blessed to have Dan and Buck and Tabby. It's a great broadcast that we get.

Agree. As a child I listened to the Tigers and relect on how bad ernie harwell was even though he made hall.of fame

He was nothing but cliches and a homer


Cosell wrote how embarassed he was to braodcast with OJ and others who knew nothing


I want to know why vlad is in a slump and what the batting coach thinks should be done. A little leaguer should be able to learn how to be a bettet player from a broadcaster

Is that too luch to ask?

I'm sure what this is even supposed to mean.
Here you go.

We have our "ace" Ross Stripling going. I might prefer Rod Serling.
That post was from May 12, Stripling's last start. But is applicble for today's game.

Blue Jays farmhand Alek Manoah's start has been moved to sync with Ross Stripling's with the big club.
When is that?
Unfortunately, it is right now.

I know, but why is it unfortunate?
Because most of the times he pitches, IMO it is unfortunate for the Jays. Today was a prime example. 6 runs and 3 homers in 1+ innings speaks for itself. He only went 3 2/3 innings so it was lucky that Ryu went 7 full last night and the bullpen should not be terribly overworked for tomorrow's rubber match.

I'm not a fan of his, so I won't be upset if I am accused of not being objective.

It's time to cut Ross Sapling, he's no longer a ML pitcher. If the Jays are going to be competitive they can't be gift-wrapping games to their opponents.

The op above is correct, Vlady should be cut as well.

We're having two different discussions then. I was asking when Alek Manoha start was going to be.

I doesn't help that the majority in attendance are Red Sox fans. The Yankees smell as bad as the Rogers Center.

...and Steve Matz is doing something wrong, (ths clip might be taken down again).

Did we really need George Springer?

I haven't seen pitching this bad since the days of the Almighty Joey McLaughlin.
