    lol Red Sox reddit banned me because I responded to a post saying Yainer was a scrub player and corrected him that he led the team in RBIs

    Add on Caleb Ferguson. I've given him a hard time (well Dana Brown actually). Good to see him be a part of a victory. Hader non save situation.

    Given all that, is it crazy to say this is the most satisfying win of the entire season? It is for me.

    We're so lucky to have Blummer and Kalas calling games.

    I remember the days of Ashby hitting on Julia was the highlight of Ashby providing color commentary.

    When I was going to SFA @ Nacogdoches, there was this tradition where students had to go to a certain restaurant (forget the name) in town to get a notorious drink called a "Blowout!". It was a big ass drink with lots of alcohol. By the time you finished it, you were basically bombed. I'd like to dedicate that drink to Yainer tonight and rename it for one night to be the "Yainer Bomb" in his honor! I wonder if that is still a thing over in those parts?

    The umps calls were almost as embarrassing as asking for donations from an online forum.

    Ashby was weird.

    Also weird was that I thought he did a good job in his first go around with us. He was fired by Drayton for being too negative but I thought he was ok on the radio. Then he was awful in his 2nd stint with the team when he was on TV.

    I remember thinking it was strange how he had regressed as a broadcaster.
