Red Sox (Suarez) vs Orioles (Baz): 9/4/26, 7:05pm

I’d walk Gaspar

[moonslav59]

Okay, this is hyperbole, but how did Gasper become MLB's best batter?

[JoeBrady]

I'm sure this has happened before, but the Great Gaspar has had a historic run for a someone almost 31, and a 27th round pick.  I'd have likely given up a long time ago.

You do that a lot

IMHO, Pearl Mining Pancake Mix is the best batter.

[FredLynn]

Here comes the runs

Or not

Hard out

Does anyone besides me smell fungus on this thread? 

Kind of like a damp basement odor.

Your batting average is lower than Duran's.

Yeah

That joker has been lurking around giving the thumbs down to posts but writing none of his own

They need to think about giving Durbin a day or two.  I realize Wilson and Raffy are out but with IKF, Mony and Sogard Durbin needs a day or two

[vegasbob]

Always pay a little closer attention when Suarez pitches with 2 strikes and 2 outs.

A bloop single, a roller through the mispositioned 2B slot , followed by a rocket shot that was caught, thankfully 

Suarez gets out of 3 full in less than 40 pitches but almost got stung

Another no show by hitters. x Gasper

They should give Duran the rest of the year off

[FredLynn]

At this point Duran is the worst hitter on the team

Just another brutal at bat by Duran.  He has to be one of the easiest players to pitch to.  Why any pitcher would go inner half on him is beyond me 

[moonslav59]

47 pitches.

Can Suarez go 7 IP for once?

That Duran didn't challenge that very high 1st pitch that was called a strike is more evidence that he has no idea of the strike zone.

Only hitter I know who can take a low outside sinker and bounce it foul towards 1B

Or he was told not to challenge.  That pitch was the difference on that AB.

Sox batters going through the motions but not squaring up Baz.

Leaving their pitchers to have to be perfect 

Eyeball Anthony blows a challenge 

[FredLynn]

Just waiting for the hammer to drop with Suarez. Gonna need at least five runs to win this

Baz is a good pitcher.

Eventually I’ll be right 

[Bagwell Anderson]

Gasper might be just as valuable defensively at first base as he is as a hitter.

Was there a Hank Aaron sighting?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Gasper must have hated WOO.

[FredLynn]

AR should have been bunting 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Rutschman seems to have peaked last night.
