06/25/19 White Sox (Fulmer.....who?) @ Red Sox (Price)

[TylerD]

They have a no name pitcher against one of our best. If we don't win this we are a gutless team.

 

The end.

[Slasher9]

i think we usually suck against no name pitchers.

JBj hit a dong + 3 BB's last night. i am assuming WTF Cora gives him much needed rest tonight.

perhaps tonight we will see a PinchHitter in the middle of an at-bat????

Tyler did you verify that the Sox win was upheld before starting this thread ? Just checking

Lmao!!!! I actually laughed out loud in the office like a goof.

[a700hitter]

Rules observed. Thumbs up.

You have the rule backwards. Just sayin.

Eovaldi is done for the year. 60 IL. Talk about a disaster.

Saw it coming the moment he got hurt

[Thunder]

Both sets of Sox are going to be soggy tonight. Win. Dance. Repeat. x2

[TylerD]

And Wright is back. Can't stand him at all even if he is good and gets us wins. Very unfortunate about Eovaldi given the shape our pitching is in Damn.

[moonslav59]

The 60 Day IL is retroactive to 66 days ago, so if he gets healthy, he can come back anytime.

 

He did have a setback not long ago, but there is still hope he'll be back in time to get in stride for the playoffs.

Devers to the 2 spot in the order. JD to LF in Fenway. I guess all I can say about that is at least its not RF in Fenway.

Fulmer throwing more breaking stuff this year. What else is new. Isn't everybody?

[Maxbialystock]

Ahem. Wright is not just a great pitcher, but a skilled all around baseball player as well. I don’t know about pinch-hitting, but the guy is a wonder on the basepaths. Hopefully, Devers will watch him a learn a thing or two.

Haven't you been talking about how it's a power game now?

He's no Rick Porcello

I saw it coming the moment he got signed.

And I thought I was cruel.

That is what Manfred wanted, that is what the press wanted, that is what MLB wanted from both the plate and the mound. In this one respect Manfred and MLB and has been foiled. I am sure Manfred stands in front of his mirror at night before he brushes his teeth and screams "BUT NOOOOO".

 

But Yes Commissioner. In about the shortest period of time imaginable, the pitchers have foiled you and your vaunted MLB hitters can't hit this breaking s*** with their launch angle garbage. Suck on that one Commissioner.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Eovaldi was one of the big reasons the SOX won it all last year. His arm problems this year shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

Well, he is getting a record number of home runs.

How juiced is the baseball? People sitting in Uecker seats are bringing gloves to the ballpark. Edited June 25, 2019 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

Thanks to continuing to change the baseball. Now has the rocket ship of rocket ships as an MLB official game ball and still has the unmitigated gall to claim that he knows nothing. MY ASS.

 

All a hitter with even decent power has to do is just touch it with the barrel of the bat, ANYWHERE ON THE BARREL and its gone.

 

In fact he can still go farther if he wants to and apparently nobody within baseball is going to stand in his way. The balls they use for the Home Run Derby are even more a rocket ship than the MLB 2019 official game ball.

 

Generally low quality pitching helps the HR numbers as well. This is gonna' get really funny if MLB tries to expand.

[oldmaninthevegasdesert]

Looks like the children might get wet tonight

 

any word on start time?

[TylerD]

Damn rain delay.

[oldmaninthevegasdesert]

Think this W.Sox starter threw for the Tigers last year

 

nope wrong one

Eck IMO is this year only tolerable in the booth if Jerry is also there.

[illinoisredsox]

White Sox broadcasts just aren’t the same without Hawk Harrelson.

I sincerely disliked him

[illinoisredsox]

I sincerely disliked him

 

I didn’t say if that was a good thing or a bad thing. He was much more tolerable when the Pale Hose were losing.

 

And maybe he was slightly better on Red Sox games since he played here. But he definitely could be insufferable at times.

 

OTOH his rant on Joe West re. Mark Buerle’s balks was classic.
