    It is surprising that Clemens would be sitting in for a Play by Play guy.
    ROGER CLEMENS TO FILL IN FOR JOE CASTIGLIONE DURING RED SOX RADIO BROADCAST IN HOUSTON
    06.05.17 at 2:21 pm ET

    By Rob Bradford
    Roger Clemens is about to become a Red Sox radio broadcaster.
    The Red Sox Hall of Famer is scheduled to sit in with Tim Neverett during the Sox’s June 16 game against the Astros in Houston. Clemens will be filling in for Joe Castiglione, who is off for the three-game series.
    It will be the first time Clemens has sat in for an entire Red Sox broadcast, either on radio or television.
    Clemens played with the Red Sox for 13 seasons, while having also pitched for the Astros from 2004-06.

    At least it's just for the radio broadcast.

    Also, Neverett and Castiglione split play by play on a per inning basis. My guess is that Clemens will just be doing color.

    Orsillo will be calling the 06/17/17 game for Fox FS1, I believe.

    They should get Remy to be a guest during the game. That would be fun.

    "It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."

    True they are both PBP guys, but I am not sure that radio will be the best media for Clemens. Has he been trying to break into broadcasting? I hadn't read about that. He was much better than I had expected when he visited the booth for a game last year.

    I remember that. He was very insightful and articulate.

    Quite a surprise, actually.

    Yep. I learned a lot about pitching during that game.
    It's a mere moment in a man's life between the All-Star game and the Old Timer's game.
