Game Thread Sep 19/19 Giants (Bumgarner) @ Red Sox (E-Rod)

[TylerD]

Let's try and not get swept at least. We have our new Ace on the mound so we might have a chance.

[Slasher9]

is this an afternoon start or usual 7pm?

Starts in an hour and a half Morning/Afternoon game.

[jung]

1:00 pm start. With any luck game will be over by midnight.

[Bellhorn04]

Go Sox.

[TylerD]

Go Sox.

 

Lol, I like the enthusiasm.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Go Sox.

 

They're already gone.

[TylerD]

They're already gone.

 

Yup, and most of the fans. Seats are empty..... Look my font is small too.... neat

Stig, Sean McD and Angry lou on the EEI mikes again for today's game.

 

I cut out for awhile last night to watch the 4th episode of Ken Burn's Country Music documentary series.

 

Can't say that I am a big fan of Country these days but as a young lad just loved Patsy Cline and Hank Williams. Stories so simple and so honest set to melody that even a young lad like me could make sense of them.

I like Blake Shelton and Paul brandt and Luke Bryan. That's about it.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Gorkys and Owings in the same line-up. Be careful, BUM.

It was their phrasing that grabbed you by the gut and would not let you go although I was too young at the time to know it was called phrasing. Give Patsy a song that she truly loved to sing and she would tie you in knots with it. Virtually everything Hank did got you in some way shape or form. Hank was consistently great. Patsy's high points were simply hard to match, just over the top but her low points were below Hank's standard IMO.

 

Patsy's arrangements were more refined but it hardly mattered. If she loved the song she was singing, you knew it and they could have put a monkey with an organ grinder behind her. Would not have mattered. Hank's arrangements were much less refined but his phrasing one tune to the next was about unmatched for its consistent excellence.

good guys lead 2-1

Yeah, thanks for those big reinforcements for the lineup, Dave!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Gorkys should legally change his last name from Hernandez to Hideaway.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Yeah, thanks for those big reinforcements for the lineup, Dave!

 

I'd fire his ass for that. Oops, nevermind.

[jung]

Isn't it a real encouraging end to the season to have all this sludge brought up to reinforce our optimism for the future?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

There are no 'good guys,' just the lesser of two evils.

[oldtimer]

At least Beni finally got a hit.

[jung]

No ump at 2nd today. Anybody want to lay odds on Joe's ability to cover from 1st. Come to think of it, I don't think there is any help coming from 3rd base either. If 3rd base ump tries to shade 2nd there is no way he is getting to 3rd to make a call. Maybe a no stealing rule has been initiated cause I have no idea what they are going to do.

[jung]

Jacko mortified. Domingo German put on administrative leave by MLB on a domestic violence charge.

[jung]

There he is....3rd base ump moved to 2nd. Want to lay odds on his ability to get anywhere near 3rd base from where he was standing. Are they gonna' have the home plate ump abandon home where runs are scored to cover 3rd.

 

Would hate to see the consequences if those two umps had to whisper in each other's ears. The result might require ambulatory care.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

There may only be two umps working the bases, but their combined weight would equal 3 umps.

Just go with the entertainment value.

[Station 13]

Chris Owings has a -31 OPS+. Does that means he owes money?

It does in my book. Fork it over kid! If I had college debt, you have baseball debt.

[jung]

This is looking like one of those crazy games where NOTHING can be relied upon until the last out has been recorded....somewhere around 10:00 tonight.

[TylerD]

On that note I’m getting A and W.

Debt to the patrons who are watching Corkys and Owings.

Wow.
