Ross is a damn good, scrappy player!

Nice inning ending DP to finish the DET threat.

Is it me or are these announcer VERY pro-DET?

Announcers, MLB TV talking heads, Rommmy2000 seen up thread... and umps who's name that end in "ez".

Ortiz gets that Texas leaguer to fall this time becuase the outfielders are on the fence. Nap up singles.

Announcers are influenced by a home crowd. They feel a need to speak louder and faster because of crowd noise and excitement. Fans of the visiting teams always think there’s a home team bias.

That said, it’s possible announcers can actually show bias, but it’s almost always in favor of East Coast teams or, secondarily, California teams.

It's not you. Hubby and I have been noticing the same. Joe Buck is of course a huge Cardinals fan. Perhaps he just prefers mid-west teams (ie Detroit) to eastern clubs (ie Boston). Sure sounds that way...

McCarver's always an idiot anyway... will he ever retire??

I'm ticked off at all the TV time Fox gave to Max Scherzer... headset on, in the dugout, babbling away for a significant amount of time during two of these games. He chattered on for a full inning during Game 1 or 2 at Fenway! No Red Sox player, manager or coach got anything close to equal time.

In the 7th or 8th innings, we've been muting the Fox coverage, and listening to Joe Castiglione and Dave O'Brien on WEEI radio, even though there's a delay in the action from radio to TV.

Fox's Joe Buck and the annoying Tim McCarver are really hard to take after 2-3 hours...
