He's been wrong quite a few times. Prefer him to JP but I think of non-Tommy guys, give me Gaby Sanchez.

I really enjoy JP the most.  I know his voice is a little nasaly but he brings good insight from a catchers perspective.  And he also brings Frozen Pizza!! LOL

Turns out he also dislikes Mish so he's one of us. Lol

So Miggy wasn't the one with an issue with Jazz after all?

Ah, nice recovery by Brantley. Dang it.

Nope, guess not.

Mish has actually admitted openly he doesn't want to do his job. Home games, leaves early as possible and doesn't stay back for, ya know, journalism. Road games are out of the question entirely.

The perspective sometimes is nice. He needs to phrase it better, and not so much in the vein of ... "when I was a crappy player ..." Lol (cause he'll do that.)

Damn, Williams can run!

Took elite arm strength (verified!) to throw him out.

He's also new at this.  Have to give him time to hone his craft.  I think he'll be really good at it eventually.   He also comes across as a really nice guy.  Where as Todd just came of as an arrogant douche.

Cabrera don't give a shit, struck him out twice.

He's new on the TV side, he was on radio a lot last year so that is an adjustment, I'll give you that. Radio requires a lot more description.

Eddie has such great stuff!  This kid will be Elite if he can command that stuff. Absolutely filthy!

Shift.

Yup, routine ground ball to 3rd. 

Fishes, I know you can score some runs from Verlander.

@SonOfJack

He's not throwing strikes at the same rate as his 1st 2 starts today.

That's ok. Get Tuckie.

Astros are laying off his changeup really well, too.

Fortes is going to need need ice bath after this game.  Lol

I appreciate the self-deprecating humour and quirky comparisons.  With how Rod Allen talks you'd think he was a first ballot HOF player since he seems to think he knows everything. 

Here's what i find humorous though - even now, there's not a single one of us who is all "man, I miss Todd" or even "I liked Todd better than ______".  He is literally universally despised on here. 

Good job Ed!

Why does it feel like they have 4 runs already?  It's still 1 - O.  LOL
