April 5 Friday 9:37 EDT. Red Sox in Anaheim to play Los Angeles Angels

You can't stop a competitor but it's a shame Story incurred the injury on an inconsequential single by Trout. What date did Duvalll effectively end his season last year, next week ?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Best case scenario a dislocation and that is 16 week for a non-athlete.

 

Worst case scenario is having Reyes playing every day.

[vegasbob]

Situations like this are when you really appreciate the contributions of Vaughn Grissom. I plan to cheerlead him through the rest of the season. Not that he is a SS in any event but could be useful in reorganizing the infield.

 

Of course 21 year old Marcello Mayer realistically needs all year at AA/AAA before he might be a factor. By that time Story will be back in Storyland.

Until he gets injured again.

Crawford racking up some nice stats but does not look sharp and in command. Needs to get a DP in the 5th to fix this.

[vegasbob]

Reyes slightly mispositioned or that could have been the DP.. Pablo says , I saw what happened to the last guy, so don't expect no stretching for that ball

[Jasonbay44]

What the hell Crawford

[vegasbob]

Crawford chokes on the chicken bone and blows his shot at a win. Unreal, he could not throw a strike after seeing Story go down

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

90 pitches after 4 and 2/3 innings. Pivetta's last start featured 90 pitches after 5 innings. C'mon BP.

That was a big deal with Trout up. The man, who like Michado, wrecked the Red Sox infield in a totally different way

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Reyes replacing Story would be similar to Carrot Top replacing George Carlin.

[S5Dewey]

I'll take the blame for that. I was watching the women's basketball game and switched over just as the bottom of the 5th was starting. My bad. Sorry.

That moving screen call on UConn was brutal

[Jasonbay44]

lol I don’t even need to see a replay. Rafaela looked safe live by a mile

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That wasn't even close. Why can't these chUMPS get the separated shoulders?

[Maxbialystock]

I think Devers swinging at ball 4 and then popping out cost the Sox a run. Not smart.

[Jasonbay44]

Duran!

[vegasbob]

That's a big RBI from Duran w/ 2outs and Rafaela on 2B with a steal. That can win games.

[vegasbob]

Reyes replacing Story would be similar to Carrot Top replacing George Carlin.

 

Now, regardless of the game action, that is a great one, Splendid

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That comes under the heading of self-inflicted.

[Jasonbay44]

Of course now Devers is injured. What the hell is going on tonight

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Before Devers' 1st at bat the Angels' announcer said that the Angels' pitcher better throw strikes, because Devers won't help him by swinging at pitches outside the zone. That may have been the dumbest thing I've heard in a long time.

[vegasbob]

Of course now Devers is injured. What the hell is going on tonight

 

I guess Dalbec can cover for him if it is life threatening

[vegasbob]

Maybe Rafaela might ought to pay f***ing attention to his business while the TalkSox are discussing best CF'ers in Beantown Edited April 6, 2024 by vegasbob

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Wasn't that special? Nonchalant BS.

[Old Red]

Hotdog!

[Tedballgame]

Have to use two hands for a beginner

[Tedballgame]

This is turning into a clown show.

[Jasonbay44]

What the f*** are we doing defensively?
