June 16: BOS (Richards) @ HOU (Anderson)

[mvp 78]

Cora said they were going to work extra hard at fielding this Spring. Whooops.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I forgot to add to my list of s*** that boils my ass that the umpiring now REEKS.....REEKS....worse than ever. Its like all of this crap about better umpiring, better training, better prep is just a fraud. They suck.

 

If the Umps' union hasn't fired Angel yet, it isn't going to fire anyone.

Well now it’s up to the BP.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I think Acuna wears all that day-glo so he won't be hit by a car during the game.

I have seen more make up calls on pitches this year so far than I am used to seeing in a full season of baseball and there is NOTHING I hate worse than make up calls. I hate them worse than the first missed call.

[redsoxrules]

This is just great, so great

[d-money]

What a s***** L this would be. Need to hold this at 1 run.

[moonslav59]

We're gonna need some more runs.

[iortiz]

Chapman about to blow another one btw

[jung]

Sigh

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I've Seen enough of Saw tonight. Bring in Marwin.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Sigh

 

 

onara.

[d-money]

Get out of the damn inning. Little league baseball by this team right now.

[TylerD]

This is just great, so great

 

Need double digits every night to win unless Nate starts.

[jung]

Oh my god what a bad strike call.

 

Why wasn't that one a strike too ump. Vaz caught it. Must be a strike

 

Ball 5 and the BB

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Atlanta is second only to Colorado in feet above sea level, so fly balls really take off there, as Dugo just found out.

[d-money]

A struggle to get out of this inning.

[d-money]

Get this guy out of the game.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

This now qualifies as a 'come from behind' win.

[jung]

And the lights go out in the park. Has this not been the least professional season of MLB EVER, at every level? I mean for God sake.

[redsoxrules]

This now qualifies as a 'come from behind' win.

 

For Atlanta yes.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

For Atlanta yes.

 

So negative.

[d-money]

Well cora is playing with fire bringing in this guy i never heard of lol.

[d-money]

9 outs remaining. Need to do something.

[d-money]

Nice job rios.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Rios was acquired from Seattle for cash to replace the irreplaceable Ryan Weber.

[jung]

Well cora is playing with fire bringing in this guy i never heard of lol.

 

To think there are still 3 more innings to go. Maybe they should treat all games like double headers.....seven inning games. I am not convinced that ML teams can any longer hold up for 162 nine inning games. Squirrels find nuts more than the umps find correct ball/strike calls. They can't pitch. They can't field. Some of them can hit but only some of them and I am not sure MLB administration would not f*** up a wet dream. But all is not lost. The computers are always on.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Besides bunting, sliding feet first has also become a lost art.

[jung]

Its not the first 5 in the Sox batting order. Its these two guys....Xander and Rafi. What a pair.

In April, it was JD and the other 3.

 

Verdugo has done well every month.

 

Devers & Bogey are el fuego! (Renfroe, too.)
