8/02 SOX @ Astros 8:10PM ET

[iortiz]

It's Vari old school Tek time.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Altuve ducking trying to get a walk. He's already 4 foot tall so duckihg gives him a 6 inch strike zone.

 

Altuve is a little taller than Eddie Gaedel, but a much better hitter.

With Tatis due back fairly soon do the Padres now have the future Ortiz/Manny back to back bats? Edited August 3, 2022 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

Tatis/Soto bring more to the table, not only the bats. And they have Machado too. This Padres team look very interesting moving forward if they lock down Soto.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

DEVERS DEliVERS! Not only does he give the SOX the lead, he also gives them some credibility.

[Tedballgame]

Raffy!

Considering how much the Padres gave up, I don't believe they were thinking rental.

The time off doesn't appear to have affected him much. Just an absolutely great hitter.

[Tedballgame]

I hate Bregman. Dink hit.

[Tedballgame]

OMG! Plawecki totally blew that. That is Dalbec's ball dummy!

[Tedballgame]

That has to be ruled an error. MLB scorers are a joke.

[Jasonbay44]

This team fields like it has special needs

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I hate Bregman. Dink hit.

 

If one has to pick a player on Houston to hate, he's the one.

Seems like they have a lot of money lol

But what about his CERA?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Another damn good job by Kutter. Imho, he's now the #1 starter on this team.

You have to, just to live there.

Good to see a kid with balls on the mound.

[iortiz]

I still wonder why Ref doesn't play. Any word or logic there?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I don't think Schreiber will be available tonight. SOX need more runs, obviously.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I still wonder why Ref doesn't play. Any word or logic there?

 

He has a sprained knee. It's a regular MASH unit in the SOX dugout.

lol

A total of 3 balls.

[Tedballgame]

Why Sawamura?

[iortiz]

A total of 3 balls.

Geez and here come Sawamura. Time to hold your breath.

[vegasbob]

Has ever Sanchez hit? I simply can't remember. Having Sanchez and Plaweky back to back is like having 2 pitchers in the Lup. Unbelievable. Why in the hell Xander is not playing? Is he hurt?

 

Combined BA's/OPS for these two guys is .235/.737. It would be hard to find two worse back to back in a lineup

[Tedballgame]

Sawamura should only pitch on the road.

[Tedballgame]

Dink hit by Altuve.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I know most of you guys have heard this one before, but I think it's worth repeating.

Baseball is the only team sport where the defense controls the ball. And strangely enough the guy who reminded me of that was the late, great George Carlin.

[Tedballgame]

Hold on to your hats.
