7/15 Toronto @ Boston

[Tedballgame]

Just hit it over the fence Xander!

[SoxHop]

Can anyone imagine if that had been Lackey on the mound?

 

I sure can. Yuck....

[Tedballgame]

Ok Xander.

[OH FOY]

Good move by JBJ.

[Jasonbay44]

That works. Good job Xander.

[d-money]

Now let’s get a couple of shutout innings.

[OH FOY]

OK lets see Thornburg, we paid enough for him, in Prospects.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Baseball was a shiftless game until Teddy Ballgame arrived.

[OH FOY]

Eck is telling the truth.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If this thorny guy continues to do well, Boston restaurants will come out with the THORNBURGER.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If this thorny guy continues to do well, Boston restaurants will come out with the THORNBURGER.

 

The THORNBURGER will be a half-pound of beef topped off with onions, lettuce, tomatoes, and a slice of cactus.

The Advanced shift is the only thing truly objectionable. Just restrict shifts to two guys either side of 2nd base. Other than that, put them where you want.

 

The problem with the arguments that "other" team sports allow the defense to position against the offense anywhere where they want is that baseball is the only major team sport where the "object" the ball, starts in the hands of the defense, 100% of the time...in the hands of a pitcher. Now if they want to start playing T-ball in the ML's, then they can position the fielders anywhere they darned well please. Does turning MLB into T-ball make any sense to anybody? Christ I probably should not say that too often. Some nitwit at MLB headquarters will suddenly decide that its a great idea.

[Tedballgame]

Hopefully, Thornburg can have a good second half.

[OH FOY]

I felt that here.

[Tedballgame]

I hope Pearce is ok.

[Tedballgame]

Need to advance the runners.

[OH FOY]

Now were thinking.

[Tedballgame]

How can a utility player not be a good bunter?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Is this Toronto's way of saying good-bye to Pearce?

[Tedballgame]

yessssss!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I don't know who's getting DFA'd, but it ain't Brock.

[Station 13]

hey look, a LOOGY can't get an out. That happens so often.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I don't know who's getting DFA'd, but it ain't Brock.

 

 

Well, I do have a feeling who it might be.

[Tedballgame]

That was close to opening up the game.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I still can't line-up Nunez's batting average to what I see. I would never guess he was even close to .250.

[Tedballgame]

Ater the run they still had 1st and 2nd and no outs and got nothing. Not good.

[SoxHop]

Johnson my bad. I seen the guy pith before but i always mispell his name lol

 

That's too funny. Eck has called Brian Johnson Brian Anderson twice the last two days. They were just talking about it.

[d-money]

Come on brasier.

[Tedballgame]

Can't afford to blow this one.

[Tedballgame]

Nice!
