6/18 (was 6/17)-MFY Word Association Fathers Day

[JohnnyTheBone]

Please abORT. Thank you.

 

[Rovin Romine]

Scheduled losses are annoying.

Per Cora's press conference, we have 5.75 months of baseball left - why, anything could happen if they just get hot.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Scheduled losses are annoying.

Thou shalt not stray to the good side of .500 by more than a game.

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Ort never had a chance today. The negative vibes from SOSH doomed him.

Don't put this on us. That's my ret(ort).

 

[budcrew08]

Ort is getting the next inning too… no one is in the pen.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Way to run that pitch count up, Rafael, and nice baseknock!

 

[gattman]

Not very sp(ort)ing

 

[Redkluzu]

RAFFY ALIVE!

 

[soxin6]

The SOSH reaction was understandable since Ort is at best a below average reliever with a fastball that is too straight and a regular inability to throw strikes.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

SMASH ONE THE FUCK ON OUT OF HERE, MASA!

 

[Rovin Romine]

Come on Masa. . .

 

[Red(s)HawksFan]

Why didn't they just pitch Paxton today? He was scheduled today. These 2 Yankees games are much more important than the Twins games. It could be a 2 game swing in the standings today. I don't get this Ort move.

So are you saying that you want Paxton and Bello today?

Doing that would mean they need two fresh starters for Wednesday and Thursday instead of just one on Thursday in Houck's spot. Gotta hold someone back to keep everyone on regular rest.

 

[soxin6]

And the first ends with a whimper

 

[DeadlySplitter]

5-0 after this inning?

Get that logic out of here

For many fans, they would rather worry about beating the Yankees than worrying about who will pitch against the Twins.

 

[donutogre]

I've decided to go in the total opposite direction and say that Ort has 3 good innings in him here.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Sox should hit this Schmidt dude though, shouldn't they?

 

[E5 Yaz]

For many fans, they would rather worry about beating the Yankees than worrying about who will pitch against the Twins.

Certainly, since games against the Yankees count more in the standings

 

[soxin6]

5-0 after this inning?

Doubtful. Ort isn't great, but neither is the Yankees lineup.

 

[Redkluzu]

Ort's glove doesn't go well with the uniform.

Yeah, they were kinda screwed once Houck went down. Would have been helpful if one of Kluber, Pivetta, Murphy, Mata or Walter didn’t shit the bed this year.

 

[Rovin Romine]

Quick inning for Ort.

 

[budcrew08]

Double play to get out of it. We should be able to bash this Schmidt kid

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

What the fuck was that? I'm shocked. Felt like a four run inning on deck following the four pitch walk.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Question: In theory, since Murphy was the "extra player" for the DH, Ort could be sent back down after this first game, and another pitcher brought up

 

[soxin6]

He isn't even near the rubber

 

[Harry Hooper]

For many fans, they would rather worry about beating the Yankees than worrying about who will pitch against the Twins.

There was also some uncertain weather today. Paxton going only a couple of innings would have wasted a start.

 

[JCizzle]

That’s not even close. I missed the discussion…in terms of penalty - balk?

 

[E5 Yaz]

pn

I completely agree, but I think that there are fans that just want to do whatever it takes to beat the Hated Ones.

 

[Gash Prex]

How is that the umpires don’t care about how far off the rubber Schmidt is?

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

He isn't even near the rubber

Beaten like a middling Ort fastball.

 

[soxin6]

How is that the umpires don’t care about how far off the rubber Schmidt is?

Because he pitches for the Yankees?

 

[Soxcat]

How is that the umpires don’t care about how far off the rubber Schmidt is?

these guys get the big bucks for doing a pretty lousy job.

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

It's not quite Carter Capps, but come the fuck on. Why have a rule if it won't be enforced when it's clearly being broken?

 

[MakMan44]

Why isn't Cora bringing it up either

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

This ump is boiled ass.

 

[JCizzle]

Boone loses his mind every other game and has multiple pitchers cheating during the year.

 

[shawnrbu]

Balk!

 

[JCizzle]

Why isn't Cora bringing it up either

They said he did I thought?

 

[Rovin Romine]

I kind of feel like the Sox put more pressure on themselves there than the pitcher.

 

[Back Bay]

Ohh you can't be swinging through a hanger like that

 

[MakMan44]

They said he did I thought?

I'm watching Yes unfortunately

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

They said he did I thought?

I'd go the route of Demi Moore, strenuously object and get my ass run. For fucks sake, it's pretty evident. I mean, it's a violation every pitch.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

What can he VolBe? Not much. Sit your dumb ass down, son!

 

[JCizzle]

Yeah, I agree with that. It’s so blatant you should do what it takes.

 

[budcrew08]

Ort manages to get thru 2.1. Murphy coming in for the bulk of the innings. Now the offense just has to come alive again.

 

[Rovin Romine]

Ort looks settled in at 32 pitches. But it looks like a one time through rule is in effect.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Did the kid throw the foul ball onto the field?
