Where is Brasier in his return?

 

Flipping brazier burgers at the nearby DQ.

[a700hitter]

Burkes is really improving as an analyst

[TylerD]

Sawa sucking.

[Jasonbay44]

Come on Sawamura

[moonslav59]

I'm about all done with Sawamura, now.

[Jasonbay44]

Salvador Perez gas 37 homers? I had no idea he was raking like that

[illinoisredsox]

Jesus Christ, he’s giving you a bleeping out. Take it. They never bunted in Japan?

[moonslav59]

Sawa sucking.

 

Sawa-demure-ah

[Maxbialystock]

Amazing how powerful the bunt can be and/or how imbecilic Sawamura and his catcher can be.

 

Just the hint of wanting to bunt gives the batter a free pass to 1b.

 

So guess what happens now? Another bunt, you think?

[d-money]

Get him out of the game.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Where is Brasier in his return?

 

Double D?

[d-money]

What a f***ing joke that was.

[Maxbialystock]

Some of what we just saw--the sheer stupidity of it --rubs off on Cora.

[Maxbialystock]

Stunning. He finally throws a strike and gets an easy out.

[Jasonbay44]

Wow. Sawamura gets luck there. Why would you keep bunt on against a guy who cannot find strike zone?

[illinoisredsox]

Sawamura let’s that drop it’s an easy DP with a chance at a TP.

 

That said, he made the right play by catching it.

[a700hitter]

I have a question about the 3 batter minimum for pitchers. Is the manager allowed to make more than 1 trip to the mound during the first 2 ABs?

[Maxbialystock]

Some of what we just saw--the sheer stupidity of it --rubs off on Cora.

 

OK. Maybe the blame rests entirely with Sawamura. Thanks to that out, he's got a chance to get out of this mess.

[Jasonbay44]

This needs to be Sawamura last better. He looks awful

[Jasonbay44]

Alright, need one more out, but easier said than done. Jose Ramirez is a good hitter..

[illinoisredsox]

I have a question about the 3 batter minimum for pitchers. Is the manager allowed to make more than 1 trip to the mound during the first 2 ABs?

 

Doubt the umps would permit it but if it happened, my guess is the pitcher would have to finish his minimum and the manager would be ejected.

[notin]

Don’t get the IBB to Ramirez

[TylerD]

No damage done but that was scary.

[Jasonbay44]

Wow. I cannot believe Sawamura got out of that

[a700hitter]

Doubt the umps would permit it but if it happened, my guess is the pitcher would have to finish his minimum and the manager would be ejected.

I am not sure about the ejection. Wouldn’t there have to be a rule for that?

[d-money]

The great escape wow. Come on offense!!!!! Do something.

[Maxbialystock]

Never a doubt. When you need that final out, call on Sawamura!

 

He'll not only get you that out, he'll make it exciting.

[a700hitter]

Wow. I cannot believe Sawamura got out of that

It was like a Dice K inning before he hurt his shoulder, except DiceK would have loaded the bases before getting any outs.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Next season when they're the Guardians, they won't swing at those pitches.

[Oscars]

Never a doubt. When you need that final out, call on Sawamura!

 

He'll not only get you that out, he'll make it exciting.

 

Yeah that was Kimbrel like circa 2018
