Good luck to Malloy. Love that guy.
He was looking fairly decent as a first basement. They should have played him more. He hit well in Toledo.
Very sad to hear 97..1 The Ticket radio personality Pat Caputo has announced he has pancreatic cancer. Caputo has been my favorite on the station because he didn't just talk 24/7 NFL football like most of his colleagues, but loved and devoted talk to all sports and was a very knowledgeable friend to baseball. Best wishes to Pat and his family and friends.
Congrats to Jason, I'm a big Dan Dickerson fan but I found myself listening to Jason and Andy a lot during 2025 just because of how good they were
Good for Benetti if it happens. He deserves it.
Jason Benetti is honestly one of the best announcers out there. He’s so captivating, has excellent banter and commentary and does such an overall great job. No wonder he’s a hot commodity for NBC
Remember as a kid watching tiger games with my grandfather where he turned the game on with no sound. Then, I turned on the radio to listen to Ernie.
