Media Watch: He's Swinging The Sweater Today, He Really Is.

I listened to Saturday's game on both NESN and WEEI.

Dave O'Brien

T3: Jonathan Villar fouled off Rick Porcello's first pitch with one out and a man on second. OB said that Porcello "threw a handful of pitches last inning". That's a very unhelpful description. How many pitches are in a handful? Six? 10? 13? The correct answer, which was never broadcast, was eight. Every so often, NESN will give us a shot of O'Brien's or Jerry Remy's scorecard and I'm always amazed that neither broadcaster keeps track of individual pitches. I have scored every pitch for games since I was 12 years old.
