9/9 Orioles at Red Sox

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I wonder if this SOX starting staff has embarrassed JH enough that he will make a serious attempt to sign Yamamoto? If JH doesn't give a shite, then it doesn't matter.

[FredLynn]

Tank time!

Best to lose every remaining game. Shouldn’t be too much of a problem since the entire team has given up.

[Duran Is The Man]

Weiss is the real deal. Bloom sure loves him some dumpster diving.

Haven't given up; it's just very difficult for the SOX to outscore their own pitching.

[Duran Is The Man]

In four years now, all Bloom has done is build a nice big steaming pile of s*** that the next GM is going to have to clean up. f*** you JH for firing DD and hiring this f***ing idiot.

[d-money]

Welp! Well at least football is here. Hope the pats give me something to cheer about.

DD would have quit had JH demanded the same budgets on him.

 

Just saying.

I'm looking forward to the BRUINS. Nice to have Lucic back. Gonna miss Bergeron.

At least the Bruins aren't tired from a long playoff run. Is Bergeron retired or not ?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Yup. He retired. He is a class act and will be irreplaceable.

[vegasbob]

Llovera another one of those 2 out pitchers. Can someone get these guys the memo that explains the 3 out system in effect since about 1880

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

23 runs for the O's in less than 16 innings.

[vegasbob]

Yeah, I think he was the Yaz of that group. Lukic will be the muscle but may skate a bit slow

[redsoxrules]

Another wonderful pickup by bloom on display tonight. Atta boy Llovera

[moonslav59]

Our scrub pitchers are redefining the word "SCRUB!"

[Duran Is The Man]

Yep. Afraid it’s gonna be another long year with the Pats too.

Two out pitchers cost much less than three out pitchers. Two out pitchers can be very easily found in most Goodwill stores across the country. Bloom knows the location of all of them.

[d-money]

Taking it up the chin this weekend.

[vegasbob]

23 runs for the O's in less than 16 innings.

 

But only 22 earned . That's a 12.37 ERA . Playing in front of the home crowd.

 

Oh well Yankees lost , so the Sox are safe for another 2 days.

His ball moves but everything is up. Does not much matter how much a pitcher's ball moves horizontally. If everything is just right above the belt line of the hitter its gong to get tagged in MLB.

[Duran Is The Man]

DD would have quit had JH demanded the same budgets on him.

 

Just saying.

 

Very possibly so. Maybe that’s what led to his dismissal. IDK. I think JH got cocky (or greedy) and decided he could win titles without spending any money. Well…the jokes on him.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

But only 22 earned . That's a 12.37 ERA . Playing in front of the home crowd.

Realistically, the Yankems are the only team the SOX can catch.

[vegasbob]

At least Story accepts the criticism and then does something about it. Also notice that Yoshi singled on a slash to left, as instructed

[vegasbob]

If Weiss and Llovera could have held O's to 1 run in their 3 innings instead of allowing 5, this game would be tied

Only 22 earned. Well that's a bird of a different color. My apologies to SOX pitchers.

Yeah, and if a frog had wings.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I love pitching duels.

[moonslav59]

Imagine, if we could actually use Crawford, Houck and Whitlock in the roles Weiss and Llovera played, today.

 

Can we try to set it up, next year, where we can do just that?

[moonslav59]

Time for Casas to bring down the house!

Great point. It is clear that would be much preferable.
