8/30 SOX @ LA Angels 10:07PM EST

[a700hitter]

Bunch of AAA arms. No one can convince me otherwise.

[Station 13]

Never trust a lefty out the pen and never eat shredded wheat.

[jung]

I mentioned this on a post a while back. Imagine if Nolan Ryan was pitching during this pitch count era. How many game would he have lasted more than 5 innings?

 

The interesting thing about that is that Nolan would have been able to pitch more innings than these stupid managers and the spread sheet geeks that feed their thinking would allow him to pitch were he pitching today.

[a700hitter]

Yeah, let's hear how great this guy Taylor is. He's a AAA star.

[TylerD]

Ugh f***. Not off to a good start.

[jung]

I'm sorry, but I can't get excited about a 4 inning start, especially with our already overworked BP.

 

 

I have got to wonder if Cora told Nate to go out there in the 4th and empty the tank which would be interesting on its own merits considering how much work our pen gets.

 

Nate sure threw like he was told to empty the tank in the 4th.

[TylerD]

Yeah, let's hear how great this guy Taylor is. He's a AAA star.

 

Go figure he would blow this.

[Station 13]

Throw strike, ******* of the highest order.

I guess this could be called an opener.

[a700hitter]

He loads the bases with no one out to face Trout lefty against righty. This looks promising.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

When you go to the well too often, sometimes there's no water left.

[a700hitter]

Go figure he would blow this.

Bunch of no name bums in the pen except for Workman.

[a700hitter]

When you go to the well too often, sometimes there's no water left.

We don't even have a well in the bullpen.

[FredLynn]

Can a team be losing but up by three runs?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Trout wasn't MVP-like there.

[Station 13]

Mike Trout just had an ******* moment.

[a700hitter]

Huge first out. Taylor is fighting to prove that his numbers are not a mirage. I think they are a SSS mirage.

[a700hitter]

Huge second out.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Still don't understand how a player can be MVP on a below .500 ball club.

[a700hitter]

here comes another AAA bum, Walden.

[jung]

Amazed that Taylor got back in the count with Trout. We might have just seen Taylor's stint of the year to this point.

[Station 13]

here comes another AAA bum, Walden.

 

Middle slider. Boom.

[Station 13]

hey fool, you're brought in because the last guy couldn't throw strikes.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

VAZ's arm was too short.

[Station 13]

Don't be a f***ing turd.

[FredLynn]

The Sox are just as bad as the Angels...pretty pathetic. Good thing it doesn't make any difference.

[a700hitter]

We are going to need to keep scoring tonight.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Big moment in the game. Why not bring in their best reliever Workman? It's not like he's an established closer. Oh, well. Just a thought.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

When it comes to SOX starting pitching, it's E-rod and 4 days of rain.

[TylerD]

Martinez is seriously good.
