Richards looks bad man.

[iortiz]

Pitching coach needs to go and chill him out a bit.

 

He’s better than this.

[Thunder]

Rafi saves the day. For now

[d-money]

Throw strikes ! Come on man.

[Thunder]

Great bounce back from Big Dick Rick 2.0

[Maxbialystock]

Whoa, nellie! Great K! Boy, I love to see the other team swing and miss at a high hard one--for a change.

[iortiz]

Good! Hopefully this helps him to regain confidence.

 

Let’s go offense!

[d-money]

Nice recovery. Let’s get more runs!!!!

[TylerD]

I want double digits from the Sox.

[Thunder]

I want double digits from the Sox.

 

Ask and you shall receive. Kike!

[iortiz]

Wow! Another bomb, see ya!

[Maxbialystock]

Well, welcome back, Kotter, I mean Kiki.

[iortiz]

Stripling has nothing tonight. We need to juice off him before their pen comes.

[Thunder]

Well, welcome back, Kotter, I mean Kiki.

 

If it weren't for The Simpsons I would not get that reference

Simpsons a much better show.

Fasten your seat belts, this could be a bumpy night.

 

Unless, of course, the Jays go the ever popular GIDP route.

I'll certainly take it. Makes up for walking the worst hitter

[TylerD]

Beautiful double play

[Maxbialystock]

Looking back, I gotta thank Cora for going with Andriese for the last 3 innings last night. Saved the rest of the bullpen while keeping him off the mount for up to a week. Smart.

[Maxbialystock]

Stripling curve ball looking better, but still low.

[jad]

You don't hear Joe Castiglione break character much, but it is GREAT listening to him rip LaRusso.

[moonslav59]

We have to strip Stripling of all his confidence.

 

Richards has been doing very well since his first 4 starts.

 

I think we done stripped Stripling.

[Maxbialystock]

Fast ball right down the middle and Gonzalez hits an easy grounder.

[Thunder]

You don't hear Joe Castiglione break character much, but it is GREAT listening to him rip LaRusso.

 

I concur. Very enjoyable. I tend to side with La Russa over the players, however. I was raised to not pour it on. I was a base stealer, and I remember being pissed when coaches told me to stop stealing or advancing on wild pitches.

 

But, I just learned that the Twins brought the infield in. That changes things...

[d-money]

Come on Richards.

[TylerD]

Richards settling down a bit.

[Thunder]

Richards settling down a bit.

 

Eh. Barely

[Maxbialystock]

Wake up, shmuck! They are playing this game in Florida. Oh, my.

[Maxbialystock]

Richards' fast ball sure looks like a cut fastball.

[Maxbialystock]

Richards' fast ball sure looks like a cut fastball.

 

And he is throwing it a lot, so much so his "highest spin rate in MLB" curve ball has been a waste pitch.
