Looking forward to watching the broadcast after work.  It should be helpful that it will be unseasonably warm today, mid 70s and sunny.

We'll get to see Keith play second today.

That’s as close as it gets to an opening day lineup, including the ace.

If I was making the lineup, I'd start putting Baez in the 9 spot.  Stop trying to coddle the dude thinking he's going to suddenly figure things out.  Maybe the embarrassment of being a 25 million dollar a year player hitting from the basement will help motivate him. 

also, you forgot to call him a lollygagger, that would obviously compel him to create more contact

[Toddwert]

nice throw out by Rogers

[mtutiger]

It's only been one inning, but I really like this new booth (including Craigger)

[Tigeraholic1]

Harvey did something!

[Toddwert]

Skubal looking nasty already

Durham Bulls hat sighting. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[Tigermojo]

Good news for Carpenter, he'll be the DH tomorrow.

I had meetings all afternoon. What did people think of Benetti? And was he able to get more out of Monroe?

you can tell he loves what he does and I think it makes the broadcast much more enjoyable. he needs to get Cmo to calmed down a little he talks too much and says nothing

I really enjoyed Benetti and I'll leave it at that.

[1776]

C-Mo needs to go. I can’t deal with him.

Given his bat, I think if he could play SS well, the Dodgers would have kept him.  That's just my wild guess.  

[oblong]

I listened to a lot of it while working but he was great. Didn’t over do it in terms of references and such.  It was natural, not rushed or forced.  

C Mo talked too much and too fast.

Benetti was fine. Beautiful voice. Even told us a little about the Red Sox, something you virtually never got from Shep. Monroe had a cold or something  - he snuffled into his mike the whole broadcast. Hit the mute when you have to inhale hard Craig. Hard to believe there wasn't a producer in his ear telling him to get it under control or at least getting some sibilance filter going on his mic. Lack of basic audio production competence across the Bally team there.

Craig was better than normal, IMO, but definitely needs to not get in the way of Benetti as much as he did today.

[Tigermojo]

Benetti also had a good interview with Skubal. Skubal said he's glad Benetti is not calling home runs against him anymore. He was sick of Benetti's enthusiasm during the many HR he gave up to the White Sox.

Benetti also talked to Hinch during the second inning with some playful ribbing back and forth. At the end of the game, he inferred the interview in the second helped Hinch lead the team to victory.

[Tenacious D]

I thought Benetti was fine—really, it’s probably success if you’re not thinking about the announcers, unless they say something very insightful.
