Game Day Thread 07.11.21 - Phillies (Nola) @ Red Sox (Nasty Nate)

[TylerD]

How much did Barnes sign for?

 

Guaranteed 18.75 million but can’t remember all the details.

[TylerD]

1-0 lead!!!!!!!

[Maxbialystock]

Gotta love it when a Sox hitter goes after a first pitch strike and nails it!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

X-plosive!

[Maxbialystock]

So Girardi's going with a little bait and switch. Interesting.

[Maxbialystock]

3 years?

[Maxbialystock]

A grounder with eyes!

[Maxbialystock]

I had no idea Harper was that good in the outfield. Plus a great throw back to the infield.

[TylerD]

3 years?

2 years with the option in 2024 I believe it was.

[TylerD]

I forgot we won the division in 2017. We went so fast in the playoffs lol.

[vegasbob]

O'B says this is 4th time in 9 seasons the Red Sox go to ASB leading the AL East. Where's our guy Jacksonian ?

[Maxbialystock]

Thunder picked a great day to head for the Fens.

[Maxbialystock]

$9M/year. Good money.

[TylerD]

Well we got one.

[TylerD]

$9M/year. Good money.

 

Agreed! He’s been very good for us this year. Finding a reliable closer is not easy.

 

Surprised nobody has picked up Osuna. What the hell happened to him? He looked like he was going to be the next big closer.

[Maxbialystock]

Lengthy treatises have been written about the importance of first pitch strikes and how the pitcher can build on one. Bogey swung at a first pitch fastball/sinker and parked it. Gonzalez observed his, then observed another lower, and finally swung at a changeup out of the zone.

[Maxbialystock]

Dalbec in for Marwin. Hmmm.

 

Love those 1 pitch groundouts when our guy is pitching. Knuckle curve uber alles.

Saw that sequence clearly, then he pulls the hammie again on the way to first.

[Tedballgame]

Hope the Sox get a great player in the draft tonight.

[Maxbialystock]

Nice get by Bogey! Why is Pivetta acting as though he were going for a no-hitter?

[Maxbialystock]

Thanks. I have the sound off I did not know what Gonzalez left.

[Maxbialystock]

A little like watching Barnes: knuckle curve, fastball, knuckle curve, fast ball, etc. Now a slider, which Barnes doesn't need this year.

[TylerD]

Brutal sad. Must be so frustrating. Such a tough injury to come back from.

[moonslav59]

I always have the sound off for Sox announcers.

[vegasbob]

Ball hits 3B , stolen base, 11 pitch walk, this is how an average pitcher unwinds because he doen't have a reliable out pitch or real fine control. Needs a DP right now

[TylerD]

Ugh dammit. Devers should have had that but tough catch regardless.

[d-money]

Need this game today. Come on.

[d-money]

This is just lousy play by this team to end the all star break.

[TylerD]

What a play by Bobby! Wow

[TylerD]

Still early. We will get them. No way their s***** pen can hold us to one.
