4/16 White Sox @ Boston Game 1

[d-money]

Struggling to get runs off this guy. Really need to keep this 1-0.

[TylerD]

He’s shutting us down. Sheesh. 1 hit through 3. Come on bats! Lucky for us, Houck has been solid as well

12 more at bats left. Gotta keep this close.

[TylerD]

Ugh. Houck. Limit the damage. 2-0 white Sox.

[d-money]

Come on houck. Get out of the damn inning.

[d-money]

Ugh. Houck. Limit the damage. 2-0 white Sox.

 

 

They better start doing something now. That’s why i hate these short inning games. Less margin for error.

[Sox75]

Nice piece of hitting by Devers!

[Sox75]

Time for Renfroe to step up!

 

LOVE IT!

[TylerD]

Here we go!!!! Cash in on that awkward play any day lol

[TylerD]

Wow...... idiot.

Baltimore Chop

Definition

A "Baltimore chop" is a chopper that takes a high bounce near home plate, allowing the runner to reach first safely.

 

Origin

The Baltimore chop came from the Orioles of the late 19th century. With runs hard to come by in the dead ball era, the Orioles hatched a plan: They instructed their groundskeeper to pack the dirt in front of home plate (legend has it he once even put down a concrete slab) so that speedsters like John McGraw and Willie Keeler could leg out infield singles.

Got one run back but time’s wasting.

[d-money]

Lead off runner on. Ughhh come on. DP

Lol. The more

You know.

Agreed. 3 more innings to try and do something.

[d-money]

No trouble getting hits off houck.

[Jasonbay44]

I dislike these new rules. 7 inning double headers and the runner on 2nd in extras are both incredibly dumb

[illinoisredsox]

Horrible break there; that’s likely a DP if it doesn’t hit Houck.

[Jasonbay44]

Oh great, Josh Taylor is In

[d-money]

Plz get out of this inning.

[Jasonbay44]

Real shocking that Josh Taylor gave up hard contact again

[d-money]

And Taylor can’t get out of the inning without giving up the run.

[d-money]

Can’t give up any more.

[TylerD]

I’m starting to get that bad feeling come on bats!!

[d-money]

Really need something in this inning. A run or two. Let’s go!!!!!!

[Jasonbay44]

Good swings by Bobby today

[moonslav59]

Running out of time in this 7 inning game.

[d-money]

Pitiful. Disgusted we can’t hit this guy.

[moonslav59]

Real shocking that Josh Taylor gave up hard contact again

 

With 9 RP'ers on the roster, why is Taylor even pitching in a close game?

[d-money]

Meanwhile the skankees tie up their game 2-2.
