9/12 Game 1 Star Sox...The Next Generation

[BravesField]

3 free passes....Yankee Universe is in orbit now.

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

WHY SWING

 

[Back Bay]

This better not be a tease

 

[Beomoose]

Thanks Dugie

 

[RorschachsMask]

How can you possibly swing on the first pitch there.

 

[patinorange]

Trade him.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Fuck

 

[Doc Zero]

lol first pitch

 

[JOBU]

Fuck shit

 

[shawnrbu]

How do you swing at the first pitch???

 

[Al Zarilla]

How can you possibly swing on the first pitch there.

This.

 

[Stu Nahan]

This team is impossibly stupid

 

[mauidano]

Saw that coming. Nice job Dugie, first pitch swinging on a guy who can't throw strikes. Fuckity fuck.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Lol

 

[Back Bay]

That fucking suck.

 

[derekson]

What an idiotic at bat.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Sigh.

 

[Pandemonium67]

Fuckalmighty sakes.

 

[shawnrbu]

Will Cora do anything?

 

[Papo The Snow Tiger]

Fuck you Verdugo.

 

[Buster Olney the Lonely]

I mean Clay Holmes couldn’t find the zone and you swing at the first pitch? This team is so dumb.

 

[LynnRice75]

Of course.
So stupid.
Why swing at all?

 

[mauidano]

For the life of me, I just don't get why Dugie did that.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Protecting our last thing gets even thinner.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

I’m sorry, I’m not as stoned as usual, but did Verdugo just swing at the first pitch after watching the pitcher walk three guys in the inning? Did that just happen?

 

[scottyno]

He swung at a pitch that couldn't have been more middle middle, the problem was he didn't do anything with it, not that he swung

 

[BravesField]

Punch in the nuts. He walked 3 guys....Take a pitch or two

 

[RorschachsMask]

This.

I had a feeling he was going to, but was like “nah he can’t be that undisciplined.”

Well.

 

[Doc Zero]

I’m so sick of Verdugo’s bullshit

 

[Pandemonium67]

If you swing on the first pitch there, you better fucking tattoo it.

 

[Al Zarilla]

For the life of me, I just don't get why Dugie did that.

Wasn't he swinging first pitch on the leadoff homers?

 

[InsideTheParker]

Believe me or not: Verdugo did just what I expected him to do. He is a very stupid player and I want him GONE.

 

[Fishy1]

Verdugo is such a fucking idiot. The guy walks Rafaela, Valdez, and McGuire, all in a row, and you see exactly one pitch? Absolutely insipid

 

[joe dokes]

Gameday has the pitch right down the middle. (There is a school of thought that a hitter *can* swing at the 1st pitch because the pitcher might be in a mood to groove one. Not watching so can't tell if the was the case.)

 

[Curt S Loew]

So. Worst possible outcome? Check. Glad I got home in time to see the bottom of the ninth.

 

[Dewey's 'stache]

I said to myself, “ just be patient dugie, don’t be a dumbass and swing at the first pitch” Apparently the real Alex Verdugo has no such inner voice. If you’re gonna swing thee yah better get all of it. It was a good pitch to hit and he did nothing with it

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

He swung at a pitch that couldn't have been more middle middle, the problem was he didn't do anything with it, not that he swung

Yeah, that's my thought. He might have gone the whole at bat never seeing a better pitch and most times putting it in play ties the game at a minimum. He just did the one thing you can't do.

 

[Hyde Park Factor]

Ted Williams: take the first pitch, see what the guy's got

Dugie: I got this

 

[aksoxfan]

Dump that stupid clown.

It was a get me over. It was a good pitch to hit.

 

[Fishy1]

The guy literally could not find the strike zone for the life of him. You let the first pitch go because he might not throw another strike, and then you've got a tie game

 

[mauidano]

Wasn't he swinging first pitch on the leadoff homers?

On one of them, yes. This is a completely different situation.

 

[Trapaholic]

My expectations for this team have totally changed.

In April and May, I would think "I don't understand how they blew that one!"

Now I think, "I can totally understand how they blew that one"

You guys just don't understand: It turned out poorly, therefore the attempt was a mistake.

[Papo The Snow Tiger]

Verdugo has the baseball IQ and instincts of a puppy. I don't care where they ship his ass this winter or what they get back. Just get him out of boston.

It was right down the middle but Dugie could have taken one or two. Sucks but Dugie missed it. Game.

I feel in that situation you have to take a pitch. Of course I’m sitting on my couch and not standing at the plate.

 

[patinorange]

Disagree. You have to take a couple after the guys walks three straight. I'd be interested in what Cora says.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

That pitch should have been deposited in the bullpen for a game winning grand slam.
