8/17 v Orioles

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Back in the early '60's the O's had a pitcher in their farm system(I don't remember his name) who consistently threw 100+mph. His only problem was he couldn't throw strikes, so he never made it to the big show. But as OB just said "he had a lively arm."

Mr West should be a DHPU.

 

DHPU=Designated Home Plate Umpire.

 

Always remember Joe’s the guy who corrected Bellhorn’s homer in Game 6 of the 2004 ALCS. And called ARod’s slap later in the same game. And called fan interference with Betts last year in Houston. He can be a good ump when he wants to be.

No question. But currently his lack of mobility should be a concern to him.

Btw, the pitcher who is the MLB career leader in SO's is also the MLB career leader in BB's.

Good job E-Rod.

[SoxHop]

This year pisses me off.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

E-rod picked a good night to go 7 shutout innings. Very good outing.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Good call by Joe, but that's the last place Joe should be standing.

[SoxHop]

Hell yea!!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Devers' wooden bat may be transformed to silver at season's end.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That was a Leslie Nielsen move by the HP ump. Edited August 18, 2019 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

Nice job erod.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Well-deserved hand by the fans.

[SoxHop]

Barnes,get in there and close this s*** out!

Which made him very effective because if there was one pitcher you did not want to get drilled by...it was that guy.

[Slasher9]

Apparently owings is the new nunez for WTF. We get to see him in every game without him deserving to play.....

[Slasher9]

Is 4 runs bullpen proof vs Baltimore?

[TylerD]

I was totally disgusted at the thought, then I tried it.

 

Pretty good!

 

Lmao. Right it’s good!

[Slasher9]

f*** you heat zone

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

To anyone who lives in NE, do you get NESN as part of your basic cable package or do you pay a separate fee for it? Here in CNY, YES comes with my basic cable. If I was a Yankem fan, that would be great. I pay @ $200.00 for Extra Innings, which motivates me to watch every SOX game.

[Slasher9]

Holy f***...is the Red Sox bat boy like 57 years old???

I’m in the same boat here in NJ.

Can you picture Nolan working with a pitch count? Hell, the guy would be at 100 pitches by the 4th inning in most games.

[Slasher9]

Wow....that was a great battle

[SoxHop]

Close this s*** out Barnes

[jung]

This mercy rule s*** really has me irritated. So what does Boone or OB think, that all of these runs and specifically all these HR's are some phenomenon attributed to the excess "quality" of ML baseball players? Give me a break. Yaz grandson has a 3 HR game and its orgasms galore. Any idea how many dingers Yaz would have had playing with THIS baseball and these sludge pitchers?

 

So MLB destroys the pitching and brings us the Manfred Missile thus creating multiple blowouts and running through sludge pitching staffs like crazy and Boone wants to have a mercy rule to prevent so many everyday players pitching?????

 

How about you tell the company that manufactures the baseballs that you now own MLB TO GO BACK to making a reasonable baseball and then stop driving pitchers toward velo and spin rate that is beyond their actual talent level. Then we can dispense with idiocy like a mercy rule.

Maybe they should call it 'bat person.'

[Slasher9]

Big time cross up

[Slasher9]

Lord have Mercy

Like everything else it's all about the money. HR's sell tickets. That's why MLB wasn't in that big a hurry to end the 'steroid era.'
