Maybe Brasier will get the yips being back in Fenway.  I'd really like to see them tee off on that worthless POS.

Anyone know how to get this game without having to sign up for a two month trial that requires payment information in case I forget to cancel?

This is one reason why I stopped paying for MLB.TV. Their "Every out of market game" claim is pure BS. I miss most of Chicago teams games because I'm supposedly in their market area even though those stations aren't available down state where I live. And if Fox has a Red Sox game and a Cubs game, we get the Cubs game. Add in these special subscription games like AppleTV and before you know it you're missing more than a dozen games a year. And even with the games you do get to see, you have to watch the same stupid commercials 18 times during a game. Same commercial over and over. For the money MLB.TV charges, you should get to see every game with no commercials. Or I should be allowed to subscribe to NESN and see the games that way.

I signed up last week.  Just cancel as soon as you sign up and you’ll be fine.

Dugie with the leadoff homer - again!

[Sea Dog 23]

And on the first pitch.  He was supposed to work the count!

[markj]

That 3-run lead didn't last long once Pivetta came in. Crawford got tagged with two of the runs, but Pivetta wasn't much help.

Manfred was supposedly going to fix this the next off season after the strike. Nawp.

Yeah, I ended up doing it and set 3 alarms to pop up in October to remind me.

Nice work, Pivetta.

So the announcer quoted Dave Roberts about Kike Hernandez. "He's been a model citizen since rejoining the Dodgers". What a strange comment. Did he mis-behave in there?

They were also ragging on Bloom about the Betts trade. Some of it was not fair, as much as I despise Bloom. Still..... this sucks.
