Nice game, White Sox.

Thanks tower I am taking personal credit. I have my Sox Pope hat....

I know this isn't breaking news but Jason Benetti is excellent. Tremendous versatility as well. 

[tower912]

He probably won't do it for nationally broadcast playoff games, but his pop culture references are sublime during regular season games.

He currently feels like a pass first PG setting up his teammates.

The guy is absolutely fantastic.  He should be doing more premiere events.

[tower912]

He will.

He announces MLB, NBA, NFL, UFL, college basketball, college football.   

[MuggsyB]

He will.

Well doesn't that mean some of these other broadcasters should be shoved aside? 

[MuggsyB]

For example, Joe Davis?

Why, just why??

PCA's vert has not been there in the 1st inning. 

[GB Warrior]

Padres followed the exact same script against Boyd as the Brewers in G1 of the DS last year. Dude throws strikes; swing early, swing often.

the ball was too low for him.

He's also the nicest person you'll ever meet.

The Cubs are not having an enjoyable evening.

MVPCA so elite he doesn't get tossed for egregiously arguing strikes

When you're famous they let you do it.

He could stand in the middle of Michigan Ave and shoot someone and wouldn't get ejected.

Moral victory for the Cubbies: When the Padres put in a pitcher who hadn't thrown in an MLB game for about 20 years, they finally got the ball out of the infield!

Hoping the Padres start regressing to the mean soon.

Hopefully they lose today and we get a 3rd game either way.

Jason is awesome.

Great moment from a week or two ago:  https://www.reddit.com/r/baseball/comments/1wmsnck/camera_man_roasts_benetti_after_his_nerdy_comment/

He's a fantastically rare gem in the sense that I genuinely don't think I've ever heard a negative about Benetti, professionally or personally.  There is the occasional dope on social media who criticizes him as a PBP guy, but its an extreme outlier and he's pretty much universally praised, across all sports he does.  And every anecdote from people who met or worked with him is obviously sparkling.

[MuggsyB]

Congrats to the CSW.  Pretty remarkable turnaround.

I'm harder than a 4.136578 rated pickleball player in the men's locker room sauna

Congratulations to the White Sox and their fans.

[wadesworld]

Thank god they didn't enjoy watching the progress of the team last year and saved all their joy for this year.

Getting night game NMD levels drunk next Wednesday at the Rate. Go Sox.
