5/30 Jays Bleu

Why does Cora bring in Kimbrel with men on base? It's enough to give me an ulcer.

 

Because he didn’t want to use him today if he could help it. He will probably not be available in Houston tomorrow

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Good win and great sweep, except for having to use Kimbrel the last two games.

Le sweep.

Let's hope Houston can beat the Yankems tonight.

[Maxbialystock]

A lot of good ingredients to this win and this series sweep.

 

Given slasher9's fixation on how the Sox fare when a particular player is on the field or not, I have to point out that the Sox are now 6-2 in games in which Mookie Betts doesn't play.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

He’s not a guy I want to use in a tight game late though. Perfect as a long/middle reliever

 

I agree. Hopefully, POM can get his act together, because replacing him with Wright would definitely deplete an already depleted BP.

robot UMPS NOW!

 

An obvious strike called a ball with the potential of turning the game around and at a minimum building up pitches on the closer. It is an argument for a computer aided strikezone.

 

Sometimes, even with the aid of replay, the umps still get things wrong, as was the case of calling Beni out on his steal. Things don't go all that well at times.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

now lets hope Houston wins a 17 inning game tonight.....

 

 

Because the Astros have to fly back to Houston tonight, the Yankems are starting their game tonight a half hour earlier. I guess that helps the SOX a little.

The guy had called a wide strike zone all day long. Suddenly he is in the 9th inning, our closer on the mound to end the game and NOW he gets picky!!!

But whattabout da human element is part of da game?

The human element with players is interesting.

 

The human element with umpires is aggravating.

[mvp 78]

1. Robot k zone

2. Orange bag at 1b

3. Bring back neighborhood play so that some contact at 2b is ok

4. Get rid of replay

5. Pitch clock

6. Redefine a balk to include intent (accidentally dropping the ball should be ok)

You guys have a knack for playing teams when they’re at their worst, lol. The rays couldn’t do anything first month and are now playing well. The Jays suck in May and you put them down. The O’s swoon started shortly before you guys bludgeoned them. Time for your team to face some real competition tomorrow

The Red Sox are winning.

 

I can see why you are pissed.

You miss the point of my “fixation” max. But I guess that shouldn’t surprise me.

Remind me when Mookie is our #9 hitting, defense first center fielder.

And the Yankees have the knack of late inning first row pop up HRs to the RF porch and scoring multiple late inning runs on a single hit mixed in with errors, hbp, BB's etc.

Blake played so good today, he almost reminded me of Sandy Leon.

One of his hits was a check swing that went 45 feet down the left foul line and remained fair. With his speed it was a no doubter.

 

He got eaten up once on a hard shot down the line that hit the bag.

 

Other than that nothing notable.

He looked like Blake.

[Natick to NC]

Did you know Mookie is now just 75th in plate appearances? That will drop further when all games are played tonight.

 

What is the word on his return?

[mvp 78]

Tomorrow
