5/31 Houston 'Stros

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Except the 2nd base ump didn't call impedance. The Marx Bros had to have a meeting before they made the call.

 

Maybe they should have had a meeting on the Devers' play at 1st.

True, but that would not have been the first time that the closest ump to the play was actually too close to it to see what happened. The right call was made and that is really all I care about. I don't care which ump made it. The closest ump might have been focused on the ball at that point and the ball was not where Devers and the runner were.

 

If your point is that the closest ump did not know that was an infraction, I actually don't think that is what happened. I think the closest ump's attention was just focused elsewhere.

This team could use some damn depth.

[moonslav59]

Seemed like our hardest hit balls were for outs, and some of our hits were cheesy.

 

Wright is making a case to start. Pom is running himself out of a slot.

 

I thought Betts was going to start. Then, Pedey backs out at the last minute.

 

Let's smoke 'em tomorrow.

 

I'll be there. Maybe that will help.

Moon...you should start today’s game thread for that extra at game mojo

[Maxbialystock]

This was a throwaway game the instant Pom took the mound. It was possible to win, but the odds were against us. Mookie not playing made it a little worse.

 

Agree moonslav should start tonight's game thread. Good idea.

Will do. Thanks for bestowing on me this great honor.

What a horseshit of a game, nothing went right. Mookie is sorely missed.

You simply cannot have your best player on the bench against a very good team and expect to win.

 

When is Mookie coming back? WoTF knows?

Day 1 5/27 (ATL)- he's experiencing a little soreness in his side so we're giving him a day off.

Day 2 5/28 (TOR)- he's still a little tender. It's no big deal.

Day 3 5/29 (TOR) - We're going to give him one more day off. Better safe than sorry.

Day 4 5/30 (TOR) - We're going to give him one more day of rest. If we were playing Houston today he'd be in there.

Day 5 5/31 (HOU) - He should be fine tomorrow.

Day 6. Today - Who knows? What's that crack medical team going to tell us next? That he slept with the baby wrong?

 

...and people wonder why some of us don't think DD was being completely forthcoming with his statement about why Hanely was DFA'd?

[mvp 78]

That crack medical team doesn't need to tell you anything.

[Slasher9]

they are the worst medical staff in all of baseball. this is proven fact.

[illinoisredsox]

That crack medical team doesn't need to tell you anything.

 

With HIPPA laws being what they are, the crack medical staff legally can’t say anything.

[Spudboy]

they are the worst medical staff in all of baseball. this is proven fact.

 

Is it?

 

It is a prevalent opinion. That is for sure.

[S5Dewey]

That crack medical team doesn't need to tell you anything.

 

True enough. I'd just feel better if I didn't think they were lying to us. If they want to tell us nothing, that's fine. It's better than what it looks like they're doing.

I just have this funny thing about honesty, I guess.

[Slasher9]

Is it?

 

It is a prevalent opinion. That is for sure.

 

proven = it is what i believe

we have more guys go on the shelf for pulled muscles, bumps, and bruises then any other club. call it medical staff...call it training staff.....but without a doubt someone will always be on the DL or out of the lineup for a pulled muscle or tweaked ankle. its the red sox way

Don’t remember TS hitting coaches talking about JBJ’s leg kick.

I remember the talk a couple or so years ago about his double toe tap with his front foot. John kruk spotted it in a minute in BP. He had a double toe tap that prevented him from getting his bat into the zone even on average fastballs.

thats cool. too bad it doesnt take into account all the games Mookie is missing for his sore/pulled/tight non injury.

[Slasher9]

he's doing the double tap now. got rid of the high leg kick and back to the double toe tap. once this hot streak ends they should immediately go back to the high leg kick.

That double toe tap has to go. This is why the hitting coach needs to take him into watch video.

We do need a Talksox sign. Something catchy. Maybe a pot that the person wina if that person gets on TV and the sign is shown.
