6/6 @ KC Royals

[Maxbialystock]

Chavis still struggling. Not JBJ, who currently occupies the twilight zone between when he is good and when he is horrid.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

JBJ didn't use his head at that at bat.

[YastrzemskI]

I'm concerned about Weber's frame of mind after his lat two starts.

The Cy Young may be in jeopardy.

[Maxbialystock]

JBJ didn't use his head at that at bat.

 

Probably. But that last strike was a pretty good pitch.

 

Nice play by Bogie to recover and get the batter out.

[Station 13]

I believe you need to attack the .180 shrimp at the plate

[Station 13]

He loses the battle vs that .180 weakling

[a700hitter]

It is time to get Colton Rally Brewer out of the game. He’s past his expiration date.

[d-money]

Making it very difficult.

[d-money]

Brewer trying to give it all back.

[Maxbialystock]

Brewer had that guy--very lucky single.

[d-money]

Need the dp badly.

[d-money]

Come on now.

[a700hitter]

And the parade of bullpen pigs continues. In a couple of more innings we will get to our late inning lock down guys. Oh... that’s right...

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hopefully, Walden is good with men on base. Funny that Walden wasn't warming at the start of the inning, but that's our Cora.

[YastrzemskI]

And the dog and pony show continues..... here comes Waldo!!!

[a700hitter]

Brewer had that guy--very lucky single.

Hamilton’s hits are on the ground. You get him to put the ball on the air or k him.

[d-money]

One more plz. Come on .

[a700hitter]

Hopefully, Walden is good with men on base. Funny that Walden wasn't warming at the start of the inning, but that's our Cora.

That is part of Cora’s strategy not to wear out his pitchers— bring them in cold.

[Maxbialystock]

KC respects Mookie's arm--for good reason. Nice out. Need 1 more.

[a700hitter]

Toughest out in the lineup is Mondesi imo.

[notin]

From 29yo career minor leaguer Ryan Weber to 26yo career minor leaguer Colten Brewer to 30yo career minor leaguer Marcus Walden. I’m noticing a trend here...

[Slasher9]

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.

 

once statcast happened there can be no more greg maddux. dude used to get pitches 2" off the plate.

[YastrzemskI]

Howda ya like that!

[Tedballgame]

Nice job by Walden.

[d-money]

Thank you Walden. Would love a couple of more runs.

[TylerD]

Offense has our back. Game is more intense than needs to be but with a bullpen today guess it’s expected.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Walden stops the rally. KC fans appear not to be surprised.

Honestly, I’d be happy if Weber could be the next Mike Maddux...

[Slasher9]

Weber isn't even Mike Maddux.

 

hahahaha. +2 points.

[Maxbialystock]

Hopefully, Walden is good with men on base. Funny that Walden wasn't warming at the start of the inning, but that's our Cora.

 

Thank you. I was afraid I'd overdone the sarcasm, but no. WTF Cora. WTF Cora. WTF Cora. Sox should be winning this game despite Weber's horrible start, but everything remains hopeless because of our dumb manager, who should have had Walden warming up from the get go.
