4/14 vs Orioles

[vegasbob]

On a positive note, if the White Sox hang on vs the Yankees today, and if the Red Sox cling to the 1-0 lead through 9, we will go to NY with the same number of wins (6), although the Sox will have one more loss.

Bryce Harper bet on himself, and posted one of the worst seasons of his career last season. He ended up pretty well off.

True and that has me worried.

[vegasbob]

You guys are right. Mookie Betts clearly cant handle pressure. He needs to take advice from TalkSox posters and just accept the Red Sox offers.

 

I have noticed that a lot of observations from many commenters here somehow make into the broadcast comments , particularly by Remy. So I wouldn't automatically discount the ability to see what is actually happening with these guys occasionally. The fact that the palyers don't want to listen or act on the hints is on them. This is somewhat joking, but you can observe and note the problems.

Price dodges the leadoff double trouble that might have cost the lead. Excellent job by the LH'er. This is a game to now win going away. C'mon, it's the Orioles .

I’ll take any positives I can get right now. I like it.

[Jasonbay44]

I'm really not worried about Mookie. It is early in the season and it seems like everyone on the team with the exception of JD Martinez and Moreland are really struggling. Mookie has had some pretty slow starts before in his career and ended up fine.

[Thunder]

Alright I'm back from CBS. How's it going over here?

[Jasonbay44]

Who just got ejected? I think I missed something.

[vegasbob]

Certainly getting a homestand under the belt has been no real answer to the opening blues. A split with the Jays of 2 games, vs the Orioles, 9th inning bouncing ball walkoff win, a terrible start by Porcello , his 3rd, followed by a BP implosion by Brewer, followed by a great start-no bat slim 1-0 lead in a game that is not over yet.

O's pitching coach?

The conclusion so far is that it is all Mookie's fault.

I am happy when nobody is happy with the umpires. What memories....both benches barkin' at them. Both managers on the top steps. Coaches getting tossed.....perfect!

As long as we win, why does it matter how? 1-0 wins count just as much as 14-0 wins. Your standards need to come down a little bit, good sir

You are correct, The stats take care of themselves when the W's pile up. But I guess the how you win comes into play when you continualy leave yourself vulnerable to the bounce of the ball by letting lower talent teams hang around with a chance to sting you

[vegasbob]

Jeez, Nunez, that was the worst reaction you could have had on that pitch. The disease is infectious.

[Jasonbay44]

Eduardo Nunez is really, really bad.

[Thunder]

Eduardo Nunez is really, really bad.

 

The question is: Which Nunez in this game is worse?

[TylerD]

Eduardo Nunez is really, really bad.

 

His facial expressions show he knows he sucks lol.

[d-money]

Very crappy offense today. Can’t win games 1-0.

[Thunder]

Great job getting out of that jam!

[Jasonbay44]

Price has been amazing today. What a performance.

[vegasbob]

Houdini Price does it again, escaping the lead of double. Great game by him.

Come to think of it....I don't want robot umps and you can get rid of replay anytime thanks. I want Managers to be able to argue calls again. I want to see Earl Weaver come out just as the Home Plate ump brooms of the plate only to have Weaver kick a yard of dirt over it only to broom it off and endure Weaver burying it AGAIN!

 

Some of you guys are just too young. Don't know what you are missing.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Excellent start by Price.

What I miss the most was the one-year contracts.

[vegasbob]

Consider this nightmare--- you need 6 outs without allowing a run to tie the Orioles season record

[d-money]

They better hang on and win this game.

[TylerD]

Price. You were beautiful today.

Last time we pitched a shut out this happened to. It’s what we do.
