Seriously
Throw the freakin ball
As a kid
2 hour 20 minute games
Brooks Robinson and Ozzie Smirh making incredible plays
Last 15 years walk up music with the batter standing there listening to his song
(I’d outlaw all walk up music- I’m not paying to hear what Ian Happ is listening to)
I don’t watch without pitch clock and no shifts and they lose people like me they are f’d
Yah I got him and I’m curious how he handles this

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Dave Wills, who served as the Tampa Bay Rays radio announcer for the past 18 years, passed away on Sunday morning at the age of 58.

We chatted often - When he had a heart scare last fall I pleaded with him to get the latest Apple Watch
He loved coming to Boston but was bemused by the FSG hype
He was astonished at how the Red Sox regarded broadcasters starting with Don Orsillo getting fired and then Tim Neverett - He became very close to Joe Castiglione but found O'Brien to be aloof.
We always joked about Yankees radio but Sterling and Waldman just have a chemistry that works.....( and because NYY trains in Tampa they to this day are allowed to broadcast regular season games in that market.
All Dave wanted was to have the White Sox offer him a play by play gig but.............

Really sorry about your friend and sorry he never got to live his dream of WS announcer.
Rays radio broadcaster Dave Wills dies at age 58
After joining the team in 2005, Wills and partner Andy Freed became one of the league’s most veteran and respected duos.

I remember seeing Matt Clement getting a ball in his face as a pitcher.
That Turner situation. My goodness. All I think about is Tony C.
Hopefully he'll be okay. Awful.

Looked like Turner turned at the very last second so it didn't him him square in the face/nose, etc.
Still super scary stuff. I hope he's okay.
