5/3 vs Orioles

[Jasonbay44]

Orioles announcers are bitching about the overturn now lol "WITH THE WAY TONIGHTS GONE TRUMBO IS AS GOOD AS OUT".

 

Well Gary Thorne, you dipshit, the ball beat him, he's out.

 

I hope Gary Thorne is forced to suck a bag of dicks sometime in his life, he truly deserves it.

[a700hitter]

Looked out to me.

Why doesn't Moreland stretch toward the throw?

[jad]

Don Baylor was a man. Machado is a baby. Sad!

 

Why do people continue to assume that professional athletes (at least those since the good ole days when they were all tough guys like us) are or aspire to be as macho and bad-ass as the average internet poster?

[Jasonbay44]

I don't understand half the stuff he does. He really doesn't play like a gold glover at all.

hard to second guess a firstbaseman when he catches a ball on the bounce.

I'm still holding out for Thorne being gang-raped by a bunch of homeless people and then left for dead.

Maybe I am netting nit picky.

[a700hitter]

I think Mookie got hit right on the shin. That hurts like hell.

[Wade Boggs]

Thank God Mookie didn't jam his ankle going back.

[Maxbialystock]

when betts hurts himself getting back to 1b like that, he reconfirms how weak our baseball sense is on the basepaths. we anticipate nothing and everything is a surprise out there.

Diseased homeless people.

[Maxbialystock]

nice steal of 2b, hwoever.

[S5Dewey]

diseased homeless people.

 

lol. Ok

you got nothing on me. i whine incessantly.

[Maxbialystock]

the difference between chris sale and all other sox pitchers is that chris sees a 0-2 count as an opportunity to get the batter out. all our other pitchers consider anything other than a borderline wild pitch (on an 0-2 count) to be very, very risky. heck, most of them won't throw another strike until at least a 2-2 count.

[Hugh2]

Seems like Barnes can't spot anything but his fastball tonight and even a few of those have been outside the zone, but he's getting the job done.

He gets the ball and throws the ball. All the other pretenders agonize about each pitch like it is the 7th game of the World Series. Rhythm is the pitchers friend and the batters enemy. There is no way that a pitcher can establish positive rhythm by taking so long between pitches.

[Jasonbay44]

Barnes with 35 pitches tonight..

[S5Dewey]

Why isn't this a four out save opportunity for Kimbrel?

[Maxbialystock]

nice. finally.

[a700hitter]

Why isn't this a four out save opportunity for Kimbrel?

Managers with 2 brain cells can't think about 4 out saves.

[mvp 78]

Seems like Farrell's way was fine tonight.

[a700hitter]

Seems like Farrell's way was fine tonight.

When we win, the manager gets credit, but hit doesn't make him smart.

[Wade Boggs]

Kimbrel handcuffed him with a great pitch. Chances of hitting that pitch...0

[Wade Boggs]

Kimbrel with great velocity, no fastballs under 96.

[Jasonbay44]

Holy s*** Kimbrel.. That was dominant performance.

[SoxHop]

Fun way to finish......

[Jasonbay44]

Machado 0-5, 2 strikeouts. Maybe he can go complain some more after the game

[Fisk]

Kimbrel is on a roll. Totally dominant right now.

That's why Chris Sale is the ace of the staff. He's got the stuff to throw it over the plate and he knows it.
