9/3 Sox vs. MFY

[Maxbialystock]

ESPN at work. They're doing an expose on Devers and start it by mentioning that he was born on the same day the Yankees won the World Series.

ESPN sucks so bad.

Just turn the sound off. Mine is.

How do you take a 2-strike pitch in the middle of the plate?

 

Thars three to end the inning with runners in scoring position. I get that it fooled him but still tough. The other two were fast balls.

[Maxbialystock]

I would leave Kelly in. He's actually pitching well, and to me Scott ain't that reliable.

 

I told you.

[Station 13]

I told you.

 

I don't like LOOGIES.

[Maxbialystock]

I told you.

 

Scott has nerves of putty. He is not a man for tough times whatever his ERA. He walked Gardner after going ahead 0-2 and none of those 4 balls were even close.

It has been embarrassing watching this team against the stankees this season. Can't believe we still in first place. This team's too damn inconsistent. I see another early playoff exit.

[Maxbialystock]

This is a big game and time for the real Sox baseball players to show up. Like Reed.

[d-money]

I think this team needs to get rid of Farrell even if they make the playoffs because I see a quick exit.

[Maxbialystock]

Thank you Leon for speaking up. That was a great slider by Reed--ball 1.

[Thunder]

Yeah that was a strike

[Maxbialystock]

All due respect to our ump defenders, but Leon and Farrell are right.

[jacksonianmarch]

He was safe

[Thunder]

I'm done

[d-money]

Can this team show me something and make a comeback?! Let's go!!!

[Maxbialystock]

The espn announcers agree with Farrell and Leon.

[d-money]

This team has come up small in this series. We needed Sale to pitch lights outs basically

[S5Dewey]

He was safe

 

No comment about the ball/strike call that got Willis thrown out?

[Thunder]

That's a case where he looks out by a mile live, but then he's clearly safe

[Maxbialystock]

That Yankee hit and 4thnrun are directly attributable to a lousy home plate umpire.

[jacksonianmarch]

Reed wilted there. 7-1!

[Maxbialystock]

That's a case where he looks out by a mile live, but then he's clearly safe

Welcome back. Care to defend your favorite umpire now or haven't you been watching?

[OH FOY]

Scott screwed that inning up, walk and a single to Lefties.

[Thunder]

Welcome back. Care to defend your favorite umpire now or haven't you been watching?

 

I've agreed with you since the 3rd inning!

[jacksonianmarch]

No comment about the ball/strike call that got Willis thrown out?

 

That was a strike. No question

[jacksonianmarch]

All rise!

[Thunder]

Wow

[S5Dewey]

That Yankee hit and 4thnrun are directly attributable to a lousy home plate umpire.

 

Exactly true. Holbrook made a lousy call on a ball/strike and it cost the Sox dearly. If that pitch had been a strike the Sox would have been out of the inning.

 

Holbrook 1, Red Sox 0.

[Thunder]

We'll get hot again. Still got 3 with OAK and 3 with CIN

[S5Dewey]

That was a strike. No question

 

And everything after that is "unearned".

[d-money]

Horrible series!!!! A chance to put them away. This team hasn't been able to distance themselves all season. These players need to start looking at themselves.
