9/5/23 Red Sox continue with Rays in Tropicana , 6:40 EDT

Seem like the should have thought of him in terms of DH then. Whoops they have a DH....a few of them actually.

 

What they paid for Yoshi sounds like the 2023 version of the Castillo contract. How did that work out.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

We can agree on that.

 

 

There was a rumor with very little smoke that the SOX were looking to sign Theo as CBO. Even Brewers ex-GM Stern was mentioned.

[jung]

Where did that come from? I was speaking about the mausoleum with a circus tent inside. What has that got to do with the SOX?

 

Actually I have had all I can stand of OB and whomever is the analyst constantly chattering about the Trop while the team that calls it home is kicking our ass regularly.

 

Someday I think the Rays will be playing elsewhere. But OB's juvenile s*** about the Trop gets under my skin. So I admit to being a bit sensitive on the topic.

So you're throwing Masa's complete season, so far, into the toilet. I don't really understand the Castillo comparison.

It's a s*** ballpark. Enough said.

Mr. 3-2 count takes the walk. With guys on 2nd/3rd no outs, I would rather Casas hits the ball somewhere. Duvall now needs to come through

[redsoxrules]

That was right down the pipe for Duval

[vegasbob]

WTF was Duvall expecting ? That was very poor

[vegasbob]

Now Mr. GIDP needs to hit something other than a weak grounder. Still gagging over Duvall's crap

 

Now gagging on Yoshi's reluctance to swing in a key situation. These guys are mindless

[redsoxrules]

Well at least that wasn't a GIDP

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Well at least that wasn't a GIDP

 

It wasn't a strike either, but this chUMP eats s***.

[redsoxrules]

It was a strike. It caught the edge

How many times did Rusney hit .300?

[redsoxrules]

What a wasted opportunity

[moonslav59]

This is sooooo 2023 Soxish.

[jgar658]

On a different note. My wife wants to know. How come The fingernails of Casas are black?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Yesterday it was posted that the Rays do four things better than the SOX. Pitching, timely hitting, defense and base running. There is a 5th thing. They have a better manager.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

So the infielders can read the sign when they throw the ball to 1st.

Its a Ballpark that was going to be the Rays home as an MLB franchise. The league owners vote new franchises into their little club. The vote tally for the Tampa franchise was 28-0 as it was for the Diamondbacks that year. So the Red Sox voted this team in with this ballpark. OB works for NESN which is owned by Fenway Group which owns the Red Sox. So for my money OB should just shut his snickering, juvenile horse s*** mouth about it. Write a letter to his bosses if he wishes.

 

In fact, if I had my way I would run Bloom, Cora and OB out of town on a rail.

Dave Bush weighed 250 pounds before the season started.

[vegasbob]

Winck at 26 pitches , after Paredes wears him out. Relievers without an out pitch are destined for long AB's

No I am saying that IMO Yoshi will never be a competent ML OFer and they have signed him at a point in time when the league's teams really are going to be forced to draft and field more well rounded players by virtue of the end of the shift in MLB. So maybe his salary for a DH is fine. I am just not kidding myself that he will ever be a competent ML OFer. Maybe they can hide him in LF...maybe not.

I'm getting the Tampa feed. Is Youk and/or Wake working the booth tonight?

[vegasbob]

So how many opportunities to be winning this game have the Sox coughed up ? Crawford not really sharp today; Abreu's misplay making it worse; 2 out walks followed by a HR to the #9 hitter; Jacques allow 2 scores by HBP;; 2nd/3rd 0 outs, then bases loaded and follow up with 2 K's and a pop fly; 2 errors in the field Still 3 innings to go

[jung]

MLB defense is laughably bad....just awful across MLB. They are even trying to hide it and they can't hide it.

Neither, its Middlebrooks

 

Give me Papelbon in the booth....PLEASE God give me Paps. Never going to happen though.

This f'ing chUMP would be more suited for frisking the batters to make sure they're not carrying a gun.

No one in any MLB booth is worse than Youk and Wake.

[jung]

Hysterical ....just hysterical. Rays SS actually moved over so he could take that JT hit off to the side. He WAS in front of it before he moved. Yeah, that worked.

 

Comment from the Sox booth. "That was a shot"

[vegasbob]

Gee whiz, Turner now equals Devers as Sox RBI leader . Raffy has not had a HR since August 20, I think
