Game Day Thread 04.25.21 - Mariners (Margevicius) @ Red Sox (E-Rod)

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Keep doing that X-man and you will be out of the spotlight.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Go with the pitch. Vaz.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Freebie Hunter.

[jung]

Go with the pitch. Vaz.

 

That is the Vaz we like as opposed to "roll over Vaz".

[TylerD]

We have a lead

 

Neat.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Gonzo really knows how to Marwin.

[TylerD]

Lol. Wow 3-1. So many walks.

[jung]

Can't say I blame Seattle for this early move. Pitcher seemed severely rattled.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That's not fair. SOX manager leaves his pitcher in longer than that when said pitcher is ineffective.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Faaaaaak, Arroyo. Up comes Downs...

[TylerD]

Man that would hurt!!!! Damn

 

4-1!!!

[jung]

I wonder what the numbers are for HBP across MLB so far this year. Seems like a lotta' guys are getting tagged by pitches.

Fun to see another team's pitchers provide the music for 'a walk in the park.' Edited April 25, 2021 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

Freebie Hunter.

 

 

Hunter has a powerful swing. Can't wait to see what happens if he ever makes contact.

[jung]

Home plate ump appears to be trying to beat the rain

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Good shut down inning by E-Rod.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Buckner was a gamer. He would run into walls attempting to make a catch. He also appeared in what I consider the funniest episode of CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM. It was titled MR SOFTEE, in which Bill made a terrific catch.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Uh, Rafie... look at the third-base coach before you pass him.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I love what Devers can do physically. Mentally, meh.

I’ll second this!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

For a 1yr/3,000,000 contract, Marwin has been a good pick-up. He is a very good utility fielder and if he can hit at least .250, he would be a steal.

There is some truth to this, but in some ways, he reminds me of the good parts of Manny's mental make-up: the total inability to let any failure, even very embarrassing ones, affect your next AB.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Speaking of Marwin's contract; the contract that Price signed with the SOX would equal Marwin's contract after Price started 3 games.

Definitely, having a short memory in baseball is a plus, especially for relief pitchers.

The Manny comparison is interesting. Both were advised to take their meds, but only Devers did.

[TylerD]

Good shut down inning by E-Rod.

 

He’s getting back to his old form. Looking good!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Spring training for Ted Williams: Sufficient time in the batter's cage and then off to do some fishing.

[TylerD]

Tense. 5-3. Smh

[vegasbob]

Maybe play the lines at 1B/3B like it was the ninth inning in a close game, which it now is

[vegasbob]

Erod's motion and finish is not sharp, looks tired
