9/25 Last vs First

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Can the SOX avoid the sweep? Stay tuned.

 

If you don't have anything good to say, this is the perfect place.

Kike continues to be the penultimate lead-off batter.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hey, Bader, there is no history in that particular park.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Thank goodness Dalbec can hit. Er, hold on, what's that? Nevermind.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

10 million for Kike. Excellent start to improving this team for next season. Edited September 26, 2022 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

Lucky for Judge that sugar cubes are not on the PED list.

Seems most people have signed off from watching these bums. I have too. They are unwatchable. The worst part is that it’s likely to be a few years before they are relevant again.

In the scheme of things, unless one is a season ticket owner, it's relatively unimportant, imho.

That I'm watching this game just shows how much I dislike NFL football. Fortunately, the NHL season begins soon.

[illinoisredsox]

How about a drinking game?

 

Every pitch they DON’T show Judge in the dugout, take a shot of the adult beverage of your choice.

 

Bello has pitched well and is getting his usual offensive support and defensive support.

[Tedballgame]

I know its raining but Refsnyder has to make that catch.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Bello looked good tonight. He's definitely the best starting pitcher to come thru the SOX farm in ages.

Bello’s on the mound; Sox are guaranteed to screw up at least two plays that lead to a run. That inning, couldn’t turn two and dropped a fly ball.

Be nice if the team would give him a little support every now and then.

At least I now understand why this ESPN baseball announcer sucks so bad. Phil Rizzuto was his role model as a play-by-play guy.

The only one in the booth who is at all tolerable is Perez, who at least realizes there are other players on the field. This has been over the top even for ESPN.

I disagree with your second line, but also think it's brilliant. Reminds me of--"if you can't say anything good about someone, sit right here by me"--by Alice Roosevelt Longworth.

Is there any reason to resume play if/when it stops raining ? The game is pretty much meaningless and both teams have to travel tonight. We don't need to see Judge get another at bat. Just call it.

Sounds more like an Oscar Wilde quote. Hey, Max, here's a quote you don't see too often: "Wait till next year."

Rizzuto was one sided, but he was doing home team broadcasts; I’ll liken him to Johnny Most in that regard.

 

This is a National Game. Ravetch hasn’t pretended to be objective in any Red Sox-Usnkee game this year.

The Judge cult at the game would go crazy and start an insurrection.

ESPN will never allow it.

He sure looks good. I think Mata might challenge him, soon.

Now that I think about it, that would be interesting to watch.

We can only hope.

I agree. I think he starts next season in the rotation with Sale, and hopefully Wacha.

Meh. Almost every thread is about next year, firing Bloom, firing Cora, firing both, who to keep next year, who to go after, etc.

 

I'm probably the most ignorant deal-proposer on talksox, but I do have thoughts about the guys on the current team and think there is decent talent, even among the pitchers. And the guy on the mound tonight is one of them.

Speaking of Oscar Wilde, here's one of his well-known quotes: "Work is the curse of the drinking classes."

[dgalehouse]

Bello has the stuff to be a good one. He does look like he could use a little more maturity. It looked like he was showing up Refsnyder after that error. It was a costly error, but those things happen.
