8/31 SOX @ LA Angels

[Jasonbay44]

Brian johnson is a horrible pitcher, but man JD is almost as bad of a fielder. He looks really bad and slow out there

[Station 13]

LOL you can't be that desperate to use BJ.

[OH FOY]

What a bad Pitcher, nothing need to discuss. Gave the runs right back.

[Oscars]

BJ is a complete stiff!

Don’t come back next year you clown

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

BJ is the rare case of a pitcher who came up thru the SOX organization and didn't pan out.

Cora put him out there.

Whereas Albert can't run on anything, infield clay or outfield grass, JD can make his way around the bases OK. But he cannot run in the OF grass AT ALL.

Slasher mentioned a few days ago why didn't the SOX give JD some experience at 1st base?

[OH FOY]

Excellent!

Splinter currently looking for a crowbar to remove his tongue having so firmly lodged it in his cheek.

[OH FOY]

Nice!

I just cant believe they dont have ANY other option than him.

[TylerD]

Tied.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Brockstar is really having a very good year under the radar.

Could BJ blow 2 lead in one night or has he shot his load and Cora seen enough Edited September 1, 2019 by Station 13

There has to be something to that. Maybe JD has no interest at all. He may be too ungainly for 1st base. I could believe that. Playing that position is not just falling out of bed for somebody that is a career OFer and sort of lopes around like a wounded giraffe.

[OH FOY]

If Johnson is back out there, then Cora is a fool.

Need somebody who can at least go 2-3 innings. Cashner’s not available. Plus the past few games, Johnson’s issues have been in the first inning he pitches, then he’s okay for a couple. Have to hope that pattern continues tonight.

Always has been a very professional ballplayer and those guys really stand out in this era. Used to be buckets and buckets of them.

[jung]

Its BJ!!!! He is past his 1st inning now. Maybe he will be OK for a second inning.

JD is a DH. Ortiz could at least play 1st base at times and seldom embarrass himself.

I suspect if we ever saw Ortiz and JD on a dance floor at the same time, that would give us our explanation.

I was just checking BJ's stats. Surprisingly, he has a career WAR of +1.2. Btw, good shutdown inning.

Matter of time with Johnson.

[Station 13]

Matter of time with Johnson.

 

He may just need foreplay to get it going.

I think that explains the whole thing.

Whoa! Good one.

Isn't this just like a BJ start? Cardiac 1st inning. OK for a second and usually a third before your next aneurysm.

Right Handed batters this year are hitting .416, so that must be a different Johnson.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I was just informed that when the infield fly rule is called, even if the ball never comes down, you're still out.
