John Valentin analysis, basically: “The pitcher threw the baseball, the batter hit the ball, the ball went in the air and the batter ran.”

[S5Dewey]

I hope Valentin isn't actually getting paid for this.

What's with these leadoff walks? Throw strikes!

[Slasher9]

john valentin has to be drunk. right?

[mvp 78]

Maybe Farrell just needs a 40 man active roster?

I'd say his performance has been a car crash, but I wouldn't want to be insensitive. http://www.nj.com/monmouth/index.ssf/2017/06/former_mets_infielder_john_valentin_crashed_car_in.html

Just tuning in. Man, this guy they have in the booth sucks. He’s making me ears bleed.

[Maxbialystock]

Good grief. EVen Reed has hurt, giving up a double and a walk to load the bases--after getting a 1-2 count, no less.

[Maxbialystock]

Another 1-2 count with just one out needed.

[Maxbialystock]

He got him! Six outs to go with the 3-1 lead intact.

[NativeBostonian]

Thank god!

[Slasher9]

OK. hitting the road from work. got to get Manny to guitar. will watch the rest tonight on DVR.

guessing Kelly/abad 8th and Leprechaun for the 9th.

GO SOX.

[Bellhorn04]

Moll replaces Dull.

[Maxbialystock]

Missed a lot, but replays show some pretty alert defense by the Sox to get hyperaggressive A's runners. I know, I know--only our guys are actually boneheads. Other teams are pretty solid on the fundamentals because they are better coached and managed.

Despite popular belief, I think Oakland has the most errors in the league.

Come on Xanax!

Yup, because they are a pretty s***** baseball team.

[mvp 78]

Clutch AB by Xander!

[mvp 78]

More runs please.

[Station 13]

Clutch AB by Xander!

 

No doubt.

Did JBJ really, truly strike out with men on 2d and 3d and no one out? Seriously? Note that elder statesman--the over the hill guy--quickly hit a sac fly to get one guy home. JBJ batting 9th is right where he needs to be even though has definite hitting potential (and some pretty good numbers form 2016).

[mvp 78]

Runs are good.

[Bellhorn04]

Beni with the .800+ OPS now.

Yup, he's a number 9 hitter all day. Not sure why people think they need to sign him for $20M per year.

[mvp 78]

Is Mookie just trying to get underneath every ball? Too many pop fly balls. Needs to start driving the ball.

[NativeBostonian]

Do you think he’d get $20M per year on the market? I just don’t know why someone would pay that much for him. Betts I would pay that much. But JBJ, no.

[Thunder]

Tests already? That sucks Thunder.

 

Hope you kick ass on it.

 

I misjudged the type of test it is. It's not in class, it's for homework, and it's due on a Sunday morning (9/24) at 9 AM, so basically, when no college kids are awake, although we just got word that there's now a UConn football game that day, so maybe I will be awake, since I'm going to the game. It's all open note/book/computer, so that makes it next to impossible.

[Maxbialystock]

Beni, batting 3d, comes through.

 

Does Farrell know lineups or does he know lineups? (I'm smiling)

[mvp 78]

He turned down a 5 yr $100M extension I think.
