8/16 v Orioles

[jung]

Its Rick's turn in the rotation tonight. Does he try to throw a 4-seam tonight (a total failure in his last few starts) or does he ignore it (works better for him, sort of).

[Slasher9]

f*** showalter.

If the Redsox lose even a single game to this team it won't matter .Sweep this team and try to gain a game on the Rays don't and it shows who they have been all year .A milky toast 500 team poorly coached and managed at every level

Agreed! Seems about right for this team to beat a hot Guardians team and then drop to Baltimore. I hope not though.

The SOX are playing at home, so that could hurt.

Eve Arden had a better arm than this O's thrower. Can anyone guess why I used Ms Arden an an example?

[jung]

Well Brooks does not appear adverse to throwing the ball right down main st...I expect more runs to come. Then again Rick is throwing it right down main st as well.

The total ERA of these two throwers is 12.00.

Joe West behind the dish. Probably the safest place for him. Compared to the sludge MLB usually tosses out there, Joe is not a terrible ball and strike caller. Plus this has the added advantage of keeping him away from wandering around amongst the fielders and baserunners.

[jung]

The last start right after Eck commented that Rick "is pitching" a building fell on Rick's head. Not sure that is a helpful comment Eck.

[TylerD]

Man oh man Rick looks good.

Joe looks like Trump behind the plate.

Bozo the President was just up here. They had the whole arena cordoned off with orange dump trucks. Visually poetic......BARF!!!!!

[TylerD]

27 pitches to get 8 outs so far. Porcello dealing!

Did not have the heart to break it to you but Rick had been lucky more than good. Luck running out.

[TylerD]

f***. Why do I compliment you Rick.

[TylerD]

Did not have the heart to break it to you but Rick had been lucky more than good. Luck running out.

 

He looked like he was controlling his pitches well. That’s not Luck. The first hit of this inning he was lucky though. Nearly a homerun

[TylerD]

Still only averaging 12 pitches an inning. If he doesn’t totally s*** the bed Porcello should go 7 tonight.

[jung]

Gotta give it to Country Joe....As dizzy as he is, especially out umping a base, he is one of the best left in the biz behind the plate. There are buckets and buckets of ML umps that would have called strike 3 from Rick to end the inning a ball.

[jung]

He looked like he was controlling his pitches well. That’s not Luck. The first hit of this inning he was lucky though. Nearly a homerun

 

He is wild in the strike zone. When you get away with so many pitches right down the heart with little to nothing on them.....its luck.

[jung]

Brooks....how many sliders do we see these days that are just spinning up to the plate....just utter sludge.

[jung]

Rafi made the last out right. Still middle of the order. We should send Brooks back to his mommy this inning.

[jung]

Crap...best pitch Brooks has made all night to get X

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

SOX making another rag arm look like Bob Gibson.

[TylerD]

He is wild in the strike zone. When you get away with so many pitches right down the heart with little to nothing on them.....its luck.

 

Well he has limited pitches and keeping the damage down so luck or not he’s taking care of business.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Rag arm must have been the secret words.
