6/6 @ KC Royals

[Maxbialystock]

No truer words were even spoken than that a game thread is an extended gripe session. Yes, Weber stunk today as he did last time. But this time Cora sent Brewer out with 1 out and men on 2d and 3d. He got a K and a fly out. Just lucky because we all know how dumb Cora is.

 

Speaking of which, his stupid lineup just tied the game at 2.

So what are you trying to say? That Weber is.. or ins't as good as Greg used to be?

[jung]

Ok, jokes aside... there is no way that Cora can trot Weber out to start another game this year. I know that he is the

second coming of Greg Maddux but I don't think that he has quite the same stuff as Greg had.

 

People have been waiting for the second coming of Greg Maddux since Greg Maddux. Hasn't happened yet.

 

Worse, we have these woebegones that somebody decides throws like Maddux, whatever that means.

[notin]

Have faith.. he's just a kid. A kid with heart and determination.

 

 

Ryan Weber is 29 years old and pitching for his fourth organization in 11 years. He’s not a young kid...

[Maxbialystock]

This game continues to be hopeless, despite the fact that JDM doubled to put men on 2d and 3d with 1 out and the score tied.

 

WTF Cora. WTF Cora. Worst manager ever. Terrible lineup. Stupid starter.

He’s a bag of trash. If he was left handed, there would be a 1 in a thousand chance that he could become the next Jamie Moyer. He isn’t left handed,so he is destined for the Independent League, maybe Japan.

HAHAHAHAH!!! I'm in a sarcastic mood today, I apologize in advance.

Its not your fault. NESN has been pumping this Weber/Maddux crap since he has been pitching here.

[YastrzemskI]

Nice to see that Devers helped out Greg with some run support today.. whew..

[Station 13]

Devers is a monster

Keep it up. It’s working...

You think Greg is following Weber's career? Like.. why not right?

I know I would if I were him.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Oh Danny Boy, the coach, the coach is calling.

[a700hitter]

Or Dick’s Sporting Goods...

He doesn’t have the personality.

Weber isn't even Mike Maddux.

WTF Cora. WTF Cora. Worst manager ever. Terrible lineup. Stupid starter.

I disagree. I liked Cora’s strategy of starting off the inning with Bradley taking one off the helmet. Brilliant.

[YastrzemskI]

Weber isn't even Mike Maddux.

 

hahahah!

[Bellhorn04]

Danny Duffy...Brian Flynn...KC is throwing the Fighting Irish at us today.

Geezua....you didn't even have the common decency to put up a sarcasm alert.

[d-money]

Good s***! Need some shutout innings now.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

He doesn’t have the personality.

 

I believe Notin was referring to the Weber grill.

[jung]

Do you think Gordon's vision is going?

[jung]

X has been coaching Devers in the field all season....apparently even while X is making a play himself.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If Weber can't even be successful against KC, I don't see how he will be able to help Pawtucket.

[Maxbialystock]

Geezua....you didn't even have the common decency to put up a sarcasm alert.

 

No need. I kind of like it. The Sox were also lucky that line shot took out the Royals starter.

 

So Cora's lucky. Napoleon actually said he would rather have a field commander who was lucky than one who was brilliant. In Cora's case, luck is the residue of careful thought--and by thought I mean being ready to replace Weber early enough to limit the damage. Sox now up 4-2 with Brewer going 1.2 innings.

[Maxbialystock]

So what are you trying to say? That Weber is.. or ins't as good as Greg used to be?

 

Greg Maddux had great stuff when he came up, but later had to use junk and great command to get guys out. Weber doesn't have great stuff or command, and Cora was ready to pull him at the sign of trouble.

I believe Notin was referring to the Weber grill.

 

I think the Weber grill is over 29.

 

I used the Dick’s Sporting Goods reference because I once bought some sneakers from former Pirate /Cardinal /Guardians RHP John Erick there. I’d never heard of him before (despite that we actually had a mutual friend), but I knew he was a former major leaguer because he would casually slip the phrase “when I played at Three Rivers” into EVERY SENTENCE.

 

As in

 

Me: I’d like some sneakers.

JE: I can help you. I used to wear sneakers when I played at Three Rivers.

Me: Don’t care about the brand.

JE: Let me show what brand I wore when I played at Three Rivers.

Me: ummm ok. Where’s the bathroom?

JE: It’s over there in the corner. Just like how I used to go to the bathroom in the corner when I played at Three Rivers.

Me: Just so you know, I’m not coming back.

JE: Know what you mean. I’m not allowed to go back and play at Three Rivers.
