Take Fister out now.

[jad]

Who is in the booth with OB tonight?

 

My question as well. Anyone know?

Our bullpen ain't that good.

Todd Walker

12-3 in extras.

Who is in the booth with OB tonight?

 

Todd Walker. Seems very good to me so far. Comfortable, some good insights, speaks well... most importantly (for me), he has a good announcing voice and is aware of cadence and the rhythms of speech. That stuff can't be taught.

 

Is this his first time in the booth?

[Station 13]

Some wheelhouse pitching effort by Fister. You can't give them anything close for an aggressive team.

[d-money]

This team stinks! They just don't take advantage when they have to.

[d-money]

Funny how the orioles turn to world beaters against this team. They have struggled.

[Maxbialystock]

Difference to me is the Oriole's can hit and we can't. Fister hit some corners, got no calls, so he is forced to throw hittable stuff. But the Baltimore starter did that from the outset. Before Betts struck out he had two very hittable pitches.

[Station 13]

Why couldn't Price start anyway?

[NativeBostonian]

Why couldn't Price start anyway?

 

Because Fisters our 2nd best pitcher

[Maxbialystock]

My gosh. The only hitter with half a brain is a 20 year old rookie. Everyone else is jus flailing away.

[oldtimer]

Fister walked 2, one a 111 hitter on 4 pitches. He doesn't seem to have enough control and has put us behind by 4 which is the runs we average in a game. Fister must have some problem with nerves as he always seems to run into early trouble before settling down in later innings. Tough start for him tonight.

[Station 13]

Umpire responsible for 2 runs that inning. But Fister has terrible controls.

[a700hitter]

Alex Speier with more illumination -- Devers hasn't hit a HR in a while and he is making some errors and Pedroia's knee still hurts. Oh boy, riveting. They are going to hold him over for another half inning for more useless information.

[NativeBostonian]

I have a feeling Price is going to be put back into the rotation soon.

[Station 13]

Hit the gym Bogaerts, you f***ing sucks.

[Maxbialystock]

12-3 in extras.

 

We were down 3-0 with no one out in the 2d. You seriously want to spend half your bullpen trying to keep it close for 8 innings when our guys aren't hitting? no manager would do that.

[Carpin]

I'm not watching the game, what's going on with the umpires lately? a lot are trying to be the center of the game, don't remember a season with so many issues, just terrible

[Thunder]

Looks like tonight will be a good night to watch Monday Night Football

[mvp 78]

Game 1 playoff starter, amirite?

3-0 is nothing. This is September, they carries extra relievers.

[Maxbialystock]

Fister just threw a fastball on the inside corner, first pitch-nailed for a single. Our guys simple cannot do that.

 

I'm making excuses for Fister of course, because clearly he has control issues tonight over and above any missed calls.

 

So let's see if he Hembree can stop the bleeding. Even if he does, I have little confidence our guys can come back.

Most of the extras are in MILB for a reason.

All I see going on with umpires is that on really close calls, half the fans are pissed. i.e., the same thing that has been going on with umpires for as long as I've watched baseball.

I think is kinda worst lately, as a yankee fan I feel exactly the same way as you guys, those idiots are all over the place no consistency at all sometimes they call a pitch strike and the next inning they are calling a ball in the same location

[Station 13]

Most of the extras are in MILB for a reason.

 

When the game is close you take the starter out who has nothing. Farrell is always bad at this.

[Maxbialystock]

Good for Hembree. Can't do much better than that. Now let's see if our guys can do more than a solo bunt single after 3 innings.

You think this game was/is close?
