4/12 vs. Orioles

[d-money]

Get out of the damn inning plz.

[iortiz]

It’s a shame. Rodriguez was pitching a gem.

 

Vazquez sucks, now a passing ball. BS should be the titular C.

[SCM33]

Cant defend you there Vasquez...........have to block that. Thats a bad PB

Obie says it was a WP. In any case it extends the O's hopes

[Thunder]

Sean McDonough on radio? I'm in heaven

[SCM33]

I dont remember Barnes throwing this hard last year....

[d-money]

Well they better add a run or two.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The bullpen of suck is in.

 

 

The BP hasn't sucked. You must be confusing them with the starters.

[SCM33]

enough with the pickoff attempts. Just get the out.....drives me crazy

[SCM33]

....thank you

Give them time, they will trade places.

Right now Betts looks more like a great bowler than a great ballplayer.

He's a bowler, not a baller. Something clearly wrong with that youngster's head

But a key hit here by Betts would turn the whole season around. Let's see what happens.

Lay off Mookie. He's a better natural athlete than you ever were or ever will be. That dude is good at literally every sport he tries. I was born with an athletic body and passion for sports, but lacking the God given talent

You are so f***ing predictable. Enjoy college, the real world is awaiting your exceptional talents

How am I predictable? That's an honest question

You defend your "heroes" as if they gave a damn about you or your fandom. Telling someone to layoff Mookie Betts isn't something Mookie needs or cares about. These are not your hometown buddies. They are highly compensated professionals who occasionally need to be called on it when they don't show up.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Great catch. Damn, if only he could hit at least .250.

[vegasbob]

The argument that Jackie Bradley, Jr earns his keep with his glove gets validated yet again, after the 2 out walk.

[moonslav59]

Just caught up on DVR.

 

Nice to see ERod go deeper than usual without hitting 95 pitches.

 

Some nice key hits.

 

Now, we need the pen to hold firm.

[iortiz]

Wow, whata catch!

First of all, these guys aren't my heroes, since I'm of the age where I am no longer as impressionable as I once was. David Ortiz was my hero. Dustin Pedroia remains my hero to an extent, as does George Springer. But, no other current Red Sox players are my hero, as I was an established fan before they came up.

 

My point was simply that in the last two weeks, there has been a general pattern of criticism (not just from you) directed towards the man that has the potential to be the greatest Red Sox player ever when all is said and done, and I think that criticism has been a little unfair. I guess I just decided to use you as an example of those recent trends

JD is a musician with that bat. I still believe he is the best hitter in MLB.

[vegasbob]

Look at the play by Bradley to save a run in 2 run game. Look at JDM hustling hard for a double on wet night . That's accountability by a professional

[Thunder]

I can't begin to describe how much I've missed listening to games on the radio. I grew up on this, sitting in bed with the lights out, way past my bedtime, hoping for a rally so I could go to bed

[jad]

Hey, it's a sports board. A SPORTS board! We all pretend to care about things that aren't in the slightest bit important. No need to call anyone out for being a tad hyperbolic.

[a700hitter]

Wow, whata catch!

Outstanding!

[Thunder]

Outstanding!

 

It's too bad Castiglione had the call of that one, or else we might have gotten a famous Sean McDonough voice crack
