@MakeItRain,

thoughts on NESN canning the Red Sox announcer guy? Was he actually good, or was it just cuz he was there during the 3 world series?

Don Orsillo is regarded as one of the best play by play men in the business. His firing was a complete blindside and it was for a really stupid reason. Basically, there is a fairly new guy at NESN who got pissed at Orsillo because NESN now mandates that the on air talent takes two weeks off each season and DO wants to work everyday. Larry Luchino told NESN that they have to keep Orsillo and when Luchino stepped down DO's protection was gone.

Even the "I hate everything" New Englanders, which are essentially all of them, are almost unanimously behind Orsillo here.

Is he good? Hell yes he's good, I'm assuming he'll do TBS playoff games again and he is already being rumored to be the person who will take over for Vin Scully who has not announced his return in 2016 yet.

Sometimes I think of the Book of Job and how God likes to really eff with people.

Dave O'Brien, wouldn't necessarily call him the new guy since he's been doing radio for nearly a decade but, yeah he's dece. Many will know him from doing ESPN games. The chemistry between Orsillo and the temperamental Jerry Remy won't be close to being duplicated. Actually at this point, now I hope Remy retires and gets replaced by Dennis Eckersley just so we can have a fresh start. Eck is very good in the booth.

How long ago was this? When we played in Boston I was watching the Boston feed and I really enjoyed the announcers.

Speaking of broadcasters, the Dodgers announced tonight that Vin Scully is coming back for his 67th season next year. Legend.

In the last calendar month, he is 6-0 with a teenie tiny 0.43 ERA.  only 19 hits allowed in 43 plus innings.

Since June 23, Greinke and Kershaw have allowed 23 runs in 177.1 innings. Only 109 hits

1.17 ERA and 0.74 WHIP

Not at all surprising. And the Dodgers lead their division. Despite that, people say Donnie Baseball may get fired. Go figure.

Arrieta, 2 ERs 23 Hits in his last 50.1 Innings

And he only has allowed 12 ER in his last 109.

Worthy of the Cy, but Greinke still the favorite IMO
