I disagree. The throw to third to try to nail the stealer concedes second to the trailing runner. It's a lot better shot than trotting home on a grounder to second.

 

I agree, but it appeared he was not expecting the steal, was caught flat footed, & by the time he got that big body going, it would have been too late.

JD is just not good on the bases.

Pillar: hitting, running, throwing, catching... fetching... a Top 1,000 prospect?

 

I love the guy! Excellent 4th OF'r

even 3rd

[Larry Cook]

Maybe Roenicke should have Moreland pitch hit for chavis. Chavis has been bad today.

Too bad he’s likely gone soon.

You're right, but a pro player making a hundred million should be able to pay attention -- if he left a step after Pillar broke, even JD could've jogged into second. Third basemen barely ever come up firing to second, lest they throw away a free run. I know it's hard to constantly focus playing for a loser; that's why it's easy to cheer for guys like Pillar and Verdugo.

Another loss

 

Time for raptors basketball soon.

This pretty much sums up the game:

Eshelman has recorded 13 outs on 54 pitches.

 

Godley/Springs have 12 outs on 100 pitches.

 

 

What a maddening offense.

When godley’s control is on, he is not a bad pitcher. When his control is off, he is pitiful.

 

The problem is he could be on or off from game to game or inning to inning.

He’s been more off than on this year.

[TylerD]

Well at least bruins won for you guys.

As we like to say, he has potential.

Not that I'm a hockey fan, but woohoo!

[mvp 78]

Not sure the potential is there anymore.

Lmao

 

I cheer for the oilers and senators. I have nothing to cheer for this year hahaha.

BRUINS trying to win Stanley Cup w/o their #1 goalie. That would be like the SOX trying to win the WS w/o their Ace pitcher. Oh, wait. Never mind. Edited August 24, 2020 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

Well, it's working out pretty well for the Bruins so far. Don't be so quick to judge

Quick to judge what? I was implying that the SOX did win the 2018 WS w/o their Ace pitcher.

Thought you were referring to this season. My apologies

No apology needed, Thunder. However, I would like an apology from the SOX FO for this year's joke of a team.

Speaking of hockey, I'm convinced that if hockey was an American created sport, it would be ten times more popular in this country than it already is. Edited August 25, 2020 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

Well that's a given. Football has a cult following around a good chunk of the world, and we are really the only country that plays it, other than Canada

Eh, I saw this year as a necessary evil

My post was confusing. I meant to say that hockey would be more popular in this country. I went back and corrected it.

Hockey is by far the most popular sport in Canada

 

Granted CFL might the most in Saskatchewan (where I live) people love Canadian football here lmao. The Saskatchewan Roughriders here are like the packers. We don’t have much so we get super excited for the riders lol. I’m not big into CFL

Thank you, Tyler, and your country for inventing the most exciting team sport in the world.
