5/25 vs Texas

[Station 13]

There's the old Pom!

 

A leopard can't change its spots

[Bama Boy]

My hope for Marrero in his AB is to draw a lot of pitches

[Bama Boy]

Betts hitting the ball hard just right at guys.

[Nick]

give Pom credit....he's not walking guys. Solo HR doesn't hurt as much.

 

He had tendency to get ahead 0-2 then go to 3-2. Lot of pitches.

 

He's being more efficient. Much better command tonight.

[mvp 78]

Got lucky with the Napoli pitch.

[Bama Boy]

Got lucky with the Napoli pitch.

 

Yup, the dog ran out the room and hid when i saw that ball launch!!

[Bama Boy]

Really have let this Martinez get off easy the last two innings. He hasn't had to make many pitches

[NativeBostonian]

So, my dog isn't the only canine that needs therapy because of the Red Sox! lol

[Bama Boy]

DeSheilds is the absolute last guy you want to put on base.

[Bama Boy]

Horrible play by our gold glove 1B

[NativeBostonian]

Alright, what did you do with the real Pomerantz?

[mvp 78]

Horrible play by our gold glove 1B

 

He had no shot. Pom was too slow throwing it over.

[Bama Boy]

He had no shot. Pom was too slow throwing it over.

 

I don't know, he looked really slow moving over and then put nothing on the throw

[Jasonbay44]

I think this may be Pomeranz last inning, hopefully he can finish it off. 6 innings, 2 runs is perfectly acceptable from him.

[Bama Boy]

Ill take that from Pom every start!!!

[Station 13]

Lefty relievers are good for a walk or two

[Jasonbay44]

This team really has issues bunting.

[Station 13]

Marrero is a pitcher.

[Youk Of The Nation]

That half inning of incessant blathering about a television show that nobody with any semblance of a life would watch is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen in a baseball game.

 

What show were they talking about?

 

I'm so glad I listen on the radio instead of TV. Radio guys have to narrate every single pitch. They have much less time to fill with stupid s*** like the TV guys.

I believe they said it was "dining playbook". I'm not sure though, I honestly had never heard of the show.

That is what is was.

[Jasonbay44]

I really like Robby Scott. Dude has been money.

[S5Dewey]

Yep. It was Dining Playbook, a show that is only used to fill time so NESN doesn't have to run reruns of games for the third time. NESN seems to be as proud of that show as if it actually amounted to something.

 

I had the feeling that it was going to fill the entire half-inning like most guests they have on the show. That left me with a conundrum . Do I want the half inning to go on and on so the Sox would score some runs or do I want the Sox to make outs so as to get that piece of nonsense off the tv?

 

(I turned the sound off and watched it that way - and didn't miss a thing!)

NESN has been really bad lately. I really hate these random idiots they throw in the booth to waste our time, and DOB is incredibly annoying. I've often found myself listening to opposing team telecasts since I have Extra innings, as long as its not an unbearably bad announcers (Mariners, Yankees, White Sox, Orioles).

[S5Dewey]

Satellite TV (DirecTV for me) in general and NESN in particular are really beginning to irk me. Not only am I now paying every month to have commercials brought into my home between innings, I'm now subjected to in-game promos for NESN as well as in-game commercials. "This pitching change is brought to you by __________".

 

As a Sox fan, the only thing worse than having NESN is NOT having it. Ugh.

[S5Dewey]

Marrerro with a HR?? What's going on here?

[Jasonbay44]

Devon Marrero just hit a bomb... How bad is that pitcher?

[NativeBostonian]

That pitcher will be DFA'd soon.

[a700hitter]

Good for Marrero!! He could be back in Pawtucket soon. He has done a great job at 3B and he has contributed a few key hits.

[Jasonbay44]

This umpire is really being a dumb f***
