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

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Did the SOX and Rays switch uniforms?

[jung]

Aha....aha.....ah....ah....ahahahahaha

 

Dead ML ballplayers not just turning in their graves. Their coffins with them inside are shooting off into outer space, right out of the ground.....BLAST OFF!!!!

What is all this BS about defensive ineptitude ?

[redsoxrules]

How is that called a hit? That's an error

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

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

 

It seems much further away than that.

Duvall with 3 K's and a foul out leaves 6 on base by himself.

Which one, the JT "shot" or that mess in shallow LF. Both were errors in my book. 2023 MLB....not so much.

Official scoring this season has really sucked. I guess they're using minor league standards.

Should Story sit while Rafaela plays SS?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Duvall with 3 K's and a foul out leaves 6 on base by himself.

 

Well, he is known as a streak hitter. It had to end eventually.

[vegasbob]

In all seriousness the Sox should be winning this game about 6-2 , and should do whatever it takes to win this one. Take the series , it's being offered to you guys

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

No, but when Cora rests a player, ......... winning the game is secondary.

[vegasbob]

Brennan Bernadino was maybe the best dumpster find of the year. Pretty consistent

Duvall has 10 HRs and a .999 OPS since August 1. I can cut him one bad night. If not for his recent hot streak, this game might not even matter…

I guarantee the SOX win tonight, in spite of....

This is 100% true.

Just goes to show the "clutch" concept is a non-starter in terms of repeatability

So I should just drop the nickname 'Clutch' that I gave Devers?

Big Papi was definitely the closest to the repeatable concept of 'clutch' that I've ever seen.

I'd go with Dutch Devers , clutch is just a woman's stylish evening purse

[moonslav59]

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

 

The whole idea that 98% of playable hits are turned into outs is hilarious.

Casas pop up. It hit the glove, that's an error 100 percent

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Jansen is probably(definitely?) not available tonight.

Like the one Jeter used to carry to 1B with him?

Not anymore.

 

It's sick.

You meant A-roid.

[vegasbob]

You meant A-roid.

 

The mere thought of both Arod and Jeter in the same moment causes heart palpitations.

[Jasonbay44]

Rays are playing like idiots tonight. Very uncharacteristic

[moonslav59]

MASA for GG!

[redsoxrules]

Tampa playing like the Red Sox this game lol
