4/24 Tigers @ Fenway

[TylerD]

Just tuning in. Looks like E Rod is having a nice day!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

JBJ sucks. Thats why they caught it.

 

Only a Dyson sucks more.

Terrific start for ERod. There was really nothing else I felt like talkin' about but I was afraid to jinx him. So I just refused to post until he was out of the game.

[SCM33]

Vasquez with the walk.

 

Leon = 0 walks.

[SCM33]

OH f***, bullpen of shitbums is in!

 

Workman blows

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Sorry OB and ECK, but, imho, pitching 6 innings, although it was a very good effort, doesn't qualify as outstanding.

In todays game, it does.

Erod staying out of the zillion pitch area early in the game was a big deal to me. He just never does that. Usually up to 50+ pitches after 3 innings. So along with just giving up the 1 run, I thought it was a pretty significant effort for ERod.

 

Now can he repeat that? I have no idea. Probably have doomed myself to not posting anytime Erod gets out of the 1st inning with less than 20 pitches and no runs given up.

S/b 4 k’s for Workman

[SCM33]

Nice job Vasquez.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

In most cases when a robot replaces a person at the work place, it's to make more profits for the company. In the case of HP umpires, a robot replaces them because the umps are terrible at their job. Btw, you know the umps are gonna hate the use of a robotic balls and strikes, but F them.

[Slasher9]

I think he goes 6.

 

Great call Max

[Slasher9]

Is this the game where JBJ gets a hit? Are you excited now?

 

Yes / always

[Slasher9]

I'm kidding about JBJ; he'll wind up @ .200 at season's end.

 

Sig bet for 2020? I say he is north of that.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Watching those close shave inside fastballs brings back memories of Bob Gibson and Don Drysdale. Two great pitchers who would find it difficult to pitch under today's rules.

Drop him in fantasy so he can get better.

Also, the batters didn't wear elbow pads during those two pitcher's time. Yup, the game has definitely changed after the end of one year contracts.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Btw, Gentleman Jim Lonborg didn't mind giving the batters a close shave.

[TylerD]

Well offense doesn’t have to be amazing if we can get pitching like this every night lol.

[TylerD]

Is this the game where JBJ gets a hit? Are you excited now?

 

Well E Rod was awesome lol. So there’s that.

[TylerD]

I think he goes 6.

 

Nailed it.

[SCM33]

Vasquez!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Speaking of close shaves, for a long time hockey goalies didn't wear a mask. Now that was crazy.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Well E Rod was awesome lol. So there’s that.

 

And JBJ did get a hit.

[SCM33]

Vasquez, nice call by him.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Trivia question:

 

Who was the first major leaguer to wear a batting helmet?

[SCM33]

lol, walk......tying run to the plate

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Well, now that Barnes has been not so good lately, our BP is definitely WEAK..

[SCM33]

lol, bases loaded....BARNES SUCKS

[illinoisredsox]

I do like Cora leaving him in. You made this mess, get yourself out of it.
