5/26 SOX @ Houston

[Maxbialystock]

Great rbi by Benintendi, but I'll never understand why Verlander stopped throwing him fastballs. Not so great AB by Mookie.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I know physical size doesn't mean anything in baseball, but our OF'ers ( not JDM) are no taller than 5'-10" and under 200. It will be no contest in a real brawl. I worry about these little guys.

 

But they're all fast, so they'd be hard to catch.

[OH FOY]

That Blues-Bruins Match-up is going to be a War.

[Station 13]

yet another s*** at bat and a pop up by Betts.

[OH FOY]

Nice, DEVERS!

$300M? I don't think so.

[d-money]

I hate watching rodriguez pitch. So frustrating .

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Well, gentlemen, I have some errands to run, so I'll be watching the rest of this game later. See ya.

[d-money]

Needed that dp.

[Maxbialystock]

Thank goodness--DD finally went out and got a real third baseman! But whatever happened to old Devers? I mean, the guy was likable and sometimes could hit.

[jung]

That is one weak-armed centerfielder. He's lucky they cut it off because I'm not sure it was going to make it home on the ground.

 

He actually has a decent arm. Its not better than decent but decent. I don't think he knew where he wanted to throw that and split the difference. That is still on him but more from between his ears than at the end of his arm.

[OH FOY]

Good pitching aided by good defense. Good combination.

[OH FOY]

Man, nice. Defense and Offense.

[Station 13]

Devers is great now.

I'm sure you're right. I was just enjoying being a smart ass--about the other team for a change.

[Maxbialystock]

You bet. Who was the jerk who said all this team is trying to do is find new ways to lose? Oh, wait . . .

[OH FOY]

Verlander very hittable today.

[Nick]

Devers is great now.

 

No homer in April, 7 in May

[vegasbob]

Happy to have Devers on this team, and happier to see JDM crank a 325' rope to left off Verlander who was teasing him outside.

[OH FOY]

Got to catch up to those fastballs kid.

[OH FOY]

Overmatched there.

[Maxbialystock]

Just a horrible, horrible at bat by Chavis. You'd think he was a rookie.

One time during those very, Very, VERY frustrating Patriot seasons I saw Steve Grogan from line of scrimmage opponent 10 yard line with two guys wide open in the end zone, one running a shallow wheel route to the post and the other running to the corner. Could have handed it to either one of them. Could not make up his mind, split the dif and threw it directly to the CornerBack Sitting totally out of position and exactly half way between the two receivers. Its plays like that makes us fans nostalgic for the Pats throw back unis. They didn't win much. But they tried so hard and you had to either laugh or cry. Grogan was one tough dude by the way. He just got crushed out there every Sunday.

[OH FOY]

Saved a run, crap.

That 76 team was pretty Special, probably the most talented team they ever had. Got screwed by the Refs.

[Oscars]

Overmatched there.

Cole did the same to him last week , as he couldn’t catch up with velocity at the top of the zone

[OH FOY]

Putting the ball in play matters.

That was a special team and Grogan was young enough that he had not as yet been beaten to a pulp. As i remember it, they could not pay or did not pay to keep the core of that 76 team together. Fairbanks then bailed on them maybe because they did not keep the core team together and that was that. While things get foggy that far back that f***ING Ref call is stuck in a very dark place in my memory banks.

[vegasbob]

Amazing what can happen when you put the ball in play. Now Beni needs to steal second. Beating Verlander... for now

Right!! Won’t lie. Wasn’t expecting this against Verlander. But any given day.
