They actually managed to find someone more annoying than Brainard to give the mic to.

Will Bill ask Ohka about atom bombs in the pre-game?

So what did mlb.tv say to you guys on the phone??

I was a lurker at ESPN way back in the day.

Game is live on ESPN for now, during NY/BOS rain delay.

batman, I think he means the last word, dominate, does not sound right.

Bennett's OPS is over .600. Dreams do come true.

I think Bennett is still rounding first.

Does Bennett bat with all his catcher's gear on(including the mask)?
