8/04 Jays @ SOX

[vegasbob]

I broke the GT rule, so I've probably put a curse on the SOX.

 

I think given the excitement over the trade deadline non-deals and bringing up Urias, the enthusiasm over the final 2 months will be tangible .. Start all the remaining threads because the scent of another August letdown is palpable.

 

Paxton is showing that enthusiasm in his work tonight

I'm say we score runs in this inning.... let's see.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The SOX are a better team with Turner on it and the city of Boston is a better place with Turner in it. He's a class act.

[vegasbob]

I'm glad Urias replaced Arroyo so the team can go back to the no-hit, small person model .

 

If Urias and Chang could combine their stats they would be hitting .298/1.040. Real studs with the bat

[wyo-sox]

Baseball is bad ass. Duran is the man.

[Jasonbay44]

Duran makes me hard

[vegasbob]

Duran has too much size to play MLB level. He looses the balls too much

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Duran continues to be AMAZING!

[d-money]

Back in the game. Hopefully Paxton settles down.

"Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. It's a bird, It's a plane. It's Super Duran."

 

Not sure about the 'able to leap tall buildings.'

Casas played that ball like a hack.

[vegasbob]

Good thing defense is an emphasis. Oh wait, Cora and Bloom said it will be next ST.

[vegasbob]

JBJr would have caught that ball . Duran may have. Duvall, forget it

[Jasonbay44]

Paxton looks like s*** but that run is on Casas

[a700hitter]

Paxton is getting clobbered.

[d-money]

Paxton has really sucked tonight.

[FredLynn]

Paxton has really sucked tonight.

 

What do you mean? The Jays only have four runs in four innings.

[d-money]

Need those bats again.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

JBJr would have caught that ball . Duran may have. Duvall, forget it

 

Actually, Duvall is a pretty good CF. Not fair to compare anybody defensively to JBJ.

Lol. Night still young.

Why do our 1Bmen look okay on D in the minors but suck with the big club?

 

I'm waiting for the first poster to say, "We should have traded Paxton."

[FredLynn]

Actually, Duvall is a pretty good CF. Not fair to compare anybody defensively to JBJ.

 

He won a GG in RF

[moonslav59]

Lol. Night still young.

 

I get the feeling 4 runs will not be enough for a Jays win.

[Jasonbay44]

“Outstanding play by Jansen”

 

*NESN cameras don’t even show play*

 

Thanks!

[wyo-sox]

I get the feeling 4 runs will not be enough for a Jays win.

 

You are correct.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If a player strikes out on a pitch that hits him, should the 'K' be lying on its back. Devers has done that more than once and almost just did it again. Edited August 5, 2023 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

Duvall failed to get there and make a good play, then sort of short armed his reach. Then he fouled out with 2 men on.

[FredLynn]

Nice effort. Two runners on. No one out = no runs.

[wyo-sox]

Where were you... remember back that one month when Casas was good? Lol.... I'm being frustrated and sarcastic.... I know he's got plenty of time to develop.
