9/7 @ San Diego, Price v. Cosart

[Maxbialystock]

Gotta love reading the carping critics struggling with the simplest strategies being played out in real time. Farrell had the 4 run then 5 run lead and decided to run some key members of the bullpen out there because they had not pitched recently and because tomorrow is an off day leading into a big 3 game series in Toronto. Dead simple, but a700hitter's first comment said, "the announcers are questioning this move." If so, they are idiots. This was the perfect time to take a look at Uehara, Ziegler, and Kimbrel.

 

I'm also surprised no one--at least, in what I've read--has commented on the no runs streak by the bullpen now through 3 games. I don't think we have the ingredients of a true shut down threesome, but right now it looks like Farrell has more options than before with the addition of Kelly and now Uehara. Plus Ross ain't half bad for a lefty.

 

The hitting is still suspect in my mind--no doubt a weak one--but that's OK. We know the talent is there. I like our situation overall going into Toronto.

Yeah, this was one case where the announcers were being kind of silly questioning what was going on.

[Slasher9]

Kimbrell def needed the work. also for a confidence boost after his last appearance was 3 days ago and he spit the bit.

[a700hitter]

But they jumped all over it immediately. Maybe max should tweet nasty stuff to them.

"If so"? I can understand and process the English language. They were all over the move questioning it before Koji threw his first pitch.

 

As for the carping, I am get sick of you carping about carping. I watched the game, which you apparently did not, and there was very little carping here at Talk Sox. Keep your remarks targeted to a discussion of baseball. About 80% of your posts are about the carping. Seriously, knock it off. It is a bore and you are very frequently wrong in your interpretation of what others say which is the annoying putting words in others mouths aspect of your posting.

I did watch the game, but went to bed after the 7th because of work today. Moreover, I rarely have the sound on because I have a low regard for the commentators. I get especially irritated with the NESN policy of having guests for home game discuss all kinds of things, thus relegating the game itself to the back seat. This includes camera shots of the whoever is in the booth, which I dislike.

 

Why is carping about carping prohibited, especially when I included a discussion of why Farrell made the moves he did? Indeed, if the commentators questioned those moves, one has to wonder whether they know anything at all about baseball. More likely, however, is the notion that they just feel the need to fill the air with opinions and ideas of whatever value.

 

P.S. You are right that there was very little carping on this thread, largely because the game went smoothly. However, that one example of misguided carping was just too choice and therefore irresistible.

Please provide me with any excess magic carping. My son wants to evolve a Gyarados. Thanks...

"Indeed, if"? LOL!! They did. That is not in question. LOL!! Tweet your complaints to them. Write to NESN to have them removed.

 

This is a baseball forum to discuss baseball issues. It is not a forum to carp about other posters.

[Spudboy]

What the f*** is carping?

Probably so, and I am annoying myself doing it.

i think it's when you trick someone that you are their online GF but really your a dude? it happened to that ND linebacker. manti teo. he thought he was chatting up and dating a "hot chick" but it was some dude back in Hawaii.....

Nope.

 

It's when a bunch of baseball dorks go into the park and get dressed up as their favorite sports heroes and play an imaginary game of base. The winner of the game is given the Mike Carp Trophy.

[Maxbialystock]

Gotta admit that one of the best qualities of Talksox is the sense of humor.

[Spudboy]

Yes it is Max.

 

Regrettably, I still have no idea what carping is.

[Slasher9]

Nope.

Word of the Day: Carp

 

To find fault or complain querulously or unreasonably; to be niggling in criticizing.

 

Example: 'To carp at minor errors'.

Come out and play-ay...

[Kimmi]

I think Shaw is pissed off..

 

Shaw is pissed off, but I have to wonder where that fire was before Moncada was called up. Did Shaw get too complacent and too comfortable in his position? I would hope not. It could be normal growing pains or just a slump, but the timing of his bat heating up is a little curious.

Has to be a coincidence. The wake-up call would have been when they signed Hill.
