5/7 @ Baltimore

[FredLynn]

Needed that.

[Sox75]

JBJ wisely walks home.

[iortiz]

It’s awesome watching JBJ scoring a run.

[jung]

JBJ stops at a gas station and picks up a road map to home plate from 3rd base.

Chris Davis is a sack of s*** that the orioles will eat for years to come

[Sox75]

This is my audition to do play by play for the Yankees.

[moonslav59]

We need a mega crooked number this inning!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It's the running of the bullpens.

[Sox75]

Ok... back to "LOADED..."

I think the ground crew will use it as fertilizer for the grass.

For the older guys the memory of Dick Radatz coming into the game was a rare thrill for the 60's Red Sox. He was the Red Sox answer to Ryne "Can't See s*** " Duren of the Yankees. I met Dick in the later 1980's and he was a great guy to hang with, drinking copious Mississippi Mudslides. His son, Dick Radatz Jr. was a young FO type before the analytics age. Dick radatz was old school and a great closer before it was fashionable

 

Thanks for the info. I became a Sox fan in the early 70's. I had heard of Radatz, but I never saw him play.

JD proves you REALLY have to hit it poorly to get a measly RBI base hit these days.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

As a hitter JD reminds me of Pujols.

[Sox75]

So much for hanging a crooked #?

[moonslav59]

2 is crooked, but was thinking 7 or 8.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I think he walked, not a hit, which was a minor miracle by itself

 

My bad. But I think JBJ getting a hit works better for my 100% theory.

[Sox75]

Bogie going DEEP!

A large human being with equally large appetites. Could smoke a fastball over the plate or behind your head. he was fun to watch in action.

A younger Pujols.

[a700hitter]

Is this game Hembree proof?

[illinoisredsox]

Be interesting to see how Barnes reacts to sitting that long.

He had an unusual delivery....sidearm all the time.

Love this stuff!

 

I remember big Bob Veale.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If the O's obtained Tzu Lin, they would have WEI'S and MEANS.

[TylerD]

Them bats come through again.

[vegasbob]

Somewhat of a struggle for the Sox, and wondering what happened to Brasier ? But a win by any name or method counts.

[vegasbob]

True that, he came from third base side and intimidated RH hitters

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Didn't the Pirates that year also have a pitcher named LAMB?

Enough with the Wei we will win this series, Splendid

[moonslav59]

A BB and a SAC might be the best we can hope for.
