Let's slap the crap out of Happ.

Twins' Michael Pinheada suspended 60 games for banned substance.

[TylerD]

Kick his ass sea bass

Twins' Michael Pinheada suspended 60 games for banned substance.

 

Apparently it started as an 80 game suspension reduced to 60 because the Hydrochlorothiazid was determined not to have been used as a masking agent for other banned substances???? Not sure I get that. So if he wasn't trying to cleanse his system what was he doing.

 

That said, this is the same guy that tried to get away with globs of goo for his grip when there are only about a zillion ways to hid it effectively.

 

So possibly...weight loss. But if that is what he was doing it sure was not working for that.

With all due respect, past guys considered "good" hitters would have just spit on that pitch that Judge bit on for strike 3.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Don't JUDGE me by my rookie season.

No reason to 'respect' the Yankems.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Good opening act.

[vegasbob]

Travis Lakins is the #2 starter next year.

[vegasbob]

AC, let Lakin try one more just for fun

[vegasbob]

Vaz needs to rethink his plate approach. I guess he sees others taking strikes and swinging at chasers, thinking that must work

[vegasbob]

Hard to see any big time upside in Sam Travis over 3 years of parttime play . Probably a journeyman until he hits 30 or so.

[jung]

Two last night and more work today might be more than they should expect from Weber.

[vegasbob]

Got to love Ryan "the gas grill" Weber who just tosses it up there and says hit it/ Sometimes they do and sometimes not. Hope Judge K's

Which the big turd does. Weber's the #3 starter next year

[jung]

Love weber.

 

That was another strike three that a "real" hitter should have simply made mince meat out of. That was middle and not low enough in the zone and not breaking enough.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

JD is a DH. Cora is a WTF.

[Station 13]

JD preventing to make believe he is an OF.

[vegasbob]

Makes you wonder how sweet Lou mase his blind grab years ago. But pulling the Grill? AC's making me weary

[Station 13]

Weber did a Porcello. 2 strike middle.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Do the SOX really gain a lot by replacing JBJ with Travis? FU, Cora.

[Station 13]

This f*** shouldn't be in baseball.

[vegasbob]

f*** JDM and Holt for getting in the way, and Brewer for being a dog thrower, and AC for WTF reason

[Station 13]

Nice f***ing pitch, dickhead.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

DFA Colton. That still leaves the SOX with 16 relievers. Edited September 7, 2019 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

All you can do (and I know you know this) is angle on to the sun right away, as soon as the ball is hit at you. The ball gets on you so fast that you really cannot be thinking, "gee I should be angle on to this". In fact he should have been experimenting with angling on to the sun before that ball was ever hit to him to see how he would deal with it. That is really all you can do. Even trying to shade with your glove won't help you much. JD still might have missed it but staring straight up into the sun is just a fail from the start.

[Station 13]

Two back 2 back pitches rolling curveball middle. It might've been Porcello willing the location of it.

[vegasbob]

f*** Gardner too, once and forever

[TylerD]

Ugly start.

[jung]

f*** Gardner too, once and forever

 

God he is just such a pain. "Here let me just toss a pain in the ass hit in here just for an exclamation point".

 

And oh let me steal a bag while at it.

[jung]

Oh and look at penis head...wearing a yellow wrist band trying to make nicey-nice with the Boston crowd.
