Game Day Thread 04.27.21 - Red Sox (Richards) @ Mets (Peterson)

[Thunder]

Wasn't a rocket, but that's a beauty of baseball

[Maxbialystock]

Richards has vastly exceeded what I thought he was capable of.

[Thunder]

The slider is ON tonight. What a bunch of nasty ones to Pete

[TylerD]

Man is it ever. Just nasty stuff!! 6 innings of nice work from Richards

[Maxbialystock]

Great catch by JDM for the final out in the 6th. I had no idea he had that much range.

 

Will Richards come out for the 7th?

[d-money]

Get some more runs and give Richards the win. Very good game thus far. Thus far.

He might. His pitch count isn’t bad at all

[TylerD]

Damn.

[jung]

Terrific turnaround performance for Richards. Very encouraged by that.

[Thunder]

Great play by Lindor though

[d-money]

Offense has been meh tonight.

[Thunder]

Bobby getting it done on both sides tonight! Great play

[iortiz]

Whata performance by Richards geez

 

Some said this was a Glasnow pick up type. Hopefully they are right.

[Maxbialystock]

Wow. 7 solid innings!!!

[TylerD]

What an unbelievable night for Richards!!!! Just incredible

[Thunder]

7 IP, 7 H, 1 ER, 10 K, 0 BB

 

 

Hats off to him. Great outing. Now let's get some insurance and take home a W

[Thunder]

ERA now under 5 as well. Was about 6.5 at the start of the night

No kidding g. If this is a turning corner for him. That would be amazing

[Thunder]

Next start will be Sunday in Texas. Rangers don't exactly have a great offense, so good chance to build some more confidence

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Richards was Mr. Fantastic tonight.

 

As for OB, I don't despise him, but he's gotta stop living in the past. Even if he's grammatically correct, mix in a few future tenses. When OB says every on deck batter "would be next", does any other viewer say, "No, he WILL be next" (unless there's a pinch-hitter, since this is the NL, after all; then he would've been next... before the change).

A bunch of broadcasters do that. They say it with 2 outs, as if to say, if the inning were to be extended, then he WOULD be next.

Agreed

 

I would bring in Sawamura here and close with Barnes

 

Thoughts?

[Thunder]

Cordero should change the C in his name to a K, since all he seems to do is strikeout

[Thunder]

Agreed

 

I would bring in Sawamura here and close with Barnes

 

Thoughts?

 

Looks like either Darwinzon or Andirese though

[d-money]

Dreadful offense tonight. Need the pitching to hold up now.

[TylerD]

Yup. But a bad call. Andriese been pretty solid.

[TylerD]

Had it ever. Thank god Richards was on his game.

[Thunder]

I wish we hadn't traded Pillar

[mvp 78]

Andriese is just solid.

[TylerD]

I wish we hadn't traded Pillar

 

Same!

 

Well Andriese does the trick.
