8/31 SOX @ LA Angels

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

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

 

It was his career WAR. I corrected that on my post. I'm sure that will change in a hurry.

Hey I got two more guys for my Asshat fantasy team from hell. Already had Machado, Iggy and this jerk Upton on the team. Villar from the O's is my 2nd baseman and Gibby has got to be the coach of this team. Gibby would deserve them. I should have all the everyday player positions filled if I put my mind to it.

[OH FOY]

Holy s*** have I have been busting his ball so much, he wants to prove me wrong?

[OH FOY]

Man Johnson, what happened. Decided to show up?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

In regards to JD playing the OF, what looks like un-coordination may, instead, be a total lack of confidence playing out there.

Tellin ya...carbon copy of a BJ start. Now if Cora brings him out for another inning, that is courage.

He's the LH version of Porcello.

I doubt he lacks confidence. He was at the least a solid OFer in his day. That day has past but based on comments made around his signing, he apparently does not believe it or won't believe it because of what it would say about the value he wants to continue to project he has as a player.

PREDICTION: We'll ne seeing Johnson as a starter vs Uankees next wee. Very remindful of Chris Lee!

More of a shock that Peters is still out there. There is not a RH hitter in our lineup he should be getting out.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Although BJ started out sloppy, I'm still hoping for a happy ending.

[jung]

Jeezus Christ...did that look ridiculous over there at 1st on the dropped K and throw out to 1st.

The Yankems just recently put Cash Cow on the 10 day IL because of his recurring bad right knee. Right now the Yankem FO is debating hanging Sabatha from a harness until he's healed or just shooting him.

We should have pummeled him.

Sandy should be an inspiration for all kids who don't think they're good enough to make the big show.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I wonder if I should text Cora about defensive replacements?

[BOSOX11]

XB needs to hammer one out of the ballpark.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It appears Devers has taken some time off from his delivery job.

I feel sorry for the Sox pitching staff, down on starters and having to go 15 last night. I know, they caused some of their own problems, but they need Price back tomorrow, and he needs to pitch at least 7 innings. Hope he can do that.

Why not; I’m sure he’ll give all the consideration it deserves.

 

Too early to do it; you want JBJ or Moreland up in the 8th instead of JD?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I mentioned this before, but if innings were only 2 outs long, Barnes would be an all-star.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Actually, I was just going to remind him for the 9th inning. Please don't get bent out of shape.

Hope springs eternal.

Be interesting to see what he does in the bottom of the 8th. I think you will see JBJ come in for JD. Moreland only comes in if they get past Leon in the batting order, so maybe in the 9th.

He didn't do that last night in the 9th and I take the blame for not texting him then.

Watching the Red Sox has actually been enjoyable lately. Maybe it’s the alcohol though

The good news is the rosters expand on Monday

[Jasonbay44]

Please don’t let JD injury be serious

Decision on JD may just have been made.
