5/12 A's @ Boston 7:10PM

[TylerD]

Too early to tell for sure

 

Here’s hoping he has some shut down innings

[Thunder]

Marwin 2, everybody else in the lineup 1

E-Rod is a perfect example of not just employing a pitcher's W/L record when evaluating his strengths and weaknesses. In fact, W/L may be the most deceiving of all pitcher stats. Edited May 13, 2021 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

From which place...Pepe's or Sally's

 

Fantini’s 1,300 miles south.

What does New Haven style consist of? I've only been to Frank Pepe's once and I live an hour away

 

What makes New Haven-style pizza distinct is its thin, oblong crust, characteristic charring, chewy texture, and limited use of melting cheeses. It tends to be drier and thinner than, but closely related to, traditional New York-style pizza. Both styles in turn are close descendants of the original Neapolitan style.

Yummmn what toppings?

 

Just mozz

[TylerD]

Just mozz

 

Hmmmm interesting. I Ike ham and pineapple. Mmmmmm

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I'm still convinced the SOX will score at least 5 runs.

I like ham and pineapple too.

 

However, on a pizza it’s an abomination.

That explains it. I should get down one more time before I move. I don't even care if it's not vegan. It's worth it

Rodríguez has been given up a lot of hits lately. Very hittable.

My wife is pepperoni and pineapple all day. I either go plain or black olive and jalapeño.

[moonslav59]

Yes, ERod has not looked like himself.

 

I hope he regains his strength and abilities.

 

We have very little chance without him doing very well.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Thanks ump.

[Thunder]

Bye Laureano! Now we don't have someone to run on Ottavino in the 8th

[TylerD]

Nice inning for E Rod

[illinoisredsox]

ERod lucky with that strike 3 call.

 

Afterwards, the ump did the right thing by walking away.

 

Edit - trying to walk away. Once Laureano threw the bat it was automatic.

The HP umps are the ones in MLB who should be ejected.

[d-money]

This offense blows right now! Do something!!!!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It was said that Teddy Ballgame never argued with the HP chUMP on a bad call. He would just glance at him. I wonder how Ted would react if the umpiring was as putrid then as it is now?

Ya this is a bit embarrassing. 21 innings with 2 runs.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Another SOX outfielder who had a terrific arm was Reggie Smith. Sandy Koufax was quoted as saying he was jealous of Reggie's arm.

[Thunder]

Eddie's settled down nicely

Another one that "got away."

[Maxbialystock]

ERod pitching with a lot of guts. He likes his changeup but all 4 A's hits were off it. So he's throwing a lot fastballs. Good for/by him.

 

Incredible play by Renfroe.

 

And the hitting so far sucks.

[moonslav59]

Eddie's settled down nicely

 

Looks that way!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

This is looking like Bassit, The Sequel.

[Thunder]

Can we convert this double/error please?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Reggie and his family were not treated very well in Boston. He wanted to leave.

I can only imagine how he was treated by Yawkey.
