June 3, Rays at Boston, Game 2

[wyo-sox]

If Crawford does not end up developing into a legend on the mound one day... a real waste of the first name Kutter.

Thanks for correcting that. I should have just stuck to the original question. I blame Vegas for all the confusion.

 

There’s some cool retired number trivia I never knew.

 

Like - what’s the highest number any MLB team retired?

We need a “like” button…

I know I'll lose my $% should Duran get sent down and Casas stay with the club.

Speaking of jersey numbers, I'll never forget when Kapler and Damon were standing next to each other after the final out of the 2004 WS and they formed the number 1918.

Terrific at bat and double by Casas.

[Maxbialystock]

Glasnow is throwing some good stuff.

I do know that Fisk wore #72 when he was a White Sox. It was his Red Sox # reversed.

The SOX being behind means they have the Rays right where they want them.

Ha! Let us hope. I know at one time we led the league this year with come from behind wins.... don't know where we are at now.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The SOX new offensive strategy is to put the opposition and ourselves to sleep for the 1st 5 innings or 6 innings and then bombs away! Edited June 3, 2023 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

The SOX man in Japan has to find the SOX some more Masa's.

[Tedballgame]

Casas comes through

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Casas delivers! Patience is a virtue. If this his breakout game, watch out!

[Tedballgame]

Wall 1, Margot 0

[Maxbialystock]

Two consecutive at bats, the second one very important, in which Tapia looks completely brain dead. In the second, he gets a fast ball down the middle and ignores it. Not to his taste. Then three straight curve balls in the dirt, all of which he swings at and misses.

 

Then Casas, whom I have been beating up on, steps in and gets a triple, his 2d hit of the game.

The Sox should be fined every game that wall is not padded.

[Tedballgame]

Casas has a chance for the cycle. Got the near impossible triple for him.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Fenway ain't no party; it ain't no fooling around. And it definitely ain't no circus tent.

That’s a joke, right?

[Maxbialystock]

Nope.

[Tedballgame]

Ump really squeezed him on that one

[Tedballgame]

 

Nope.

Then major league baseball would have to fine almost every team in the league. Do you think that Ivy walls at Wrigley Field are padded?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Btw, a nice 4 innings by Kutter Krawford.

And the Cubs should be executed for using brick…

They are not and neither are the ivy walls at Princeton.

[wyo-sox]

1 million miles away from being won over..... but really nice defensive play Tristan.

[vegasbob]

Btw, I thought you would at least argue about my top five SOX hitters.

 

I was having to do some outside work for awhile. We have about 5 acres of dry grass that needs mowing to reduce fire exposure. I tend to agree with your hitter assessment

[vegasbob]

Well, I mean I saw one day where EVERYONE wore it…

 

Hah, too true, good catch as Yoshi says to Duran
