In Which the Red Sox Beat the Astros

[Sprowl]

I didn’t even realize Hamilton was up.

Story is a smooooth operator at short. His defense is everything it was promised to be. So that’s nice.

And he keeps successfully navigating around Devers too.

 

[Dewey's 'stache]

dumpster fire

 

[budcrew08]

Awwwwww yeah. Position player ninth!!

Let’s take bets. Who will be the pitcher? Since Pablo is on the IL, maybe Luis Urias?

 

[j44thor]

Bareclaw is going to pull himself soon.

 

[Blizzard of 1978]

Now the Red Sox have to win the next 2. We see. Good night. Going to watch The Last of Us.

 

[bosockboy]

Barraclough shouldn’t ever buy a meal again in Boston. The kid is being tortured and will probably have permanent PTSD from this.

 

[Back Bay]

Barraclough is going into witness protection after this game.

 

[simplicio]

This like Valentine leaving Lester in to give up 12 runs

Lester was a good pitcher.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Altuve could make the HOF.

He will.

 

[ngruz25]

If Cora had any sense of humor, he would have waited to put Rafaela in the game in the 9th. On the mound.

 

[Gator4MVP88]

Hopefully varitek goes to Cora’s house after the game and tells him he’s going cut his nuts off and stuff them down his fucking throat.

Coffee, anybody?

I've never had such a change in feeling about a team's overall baseball season mid-game. Tonight had a touch of fall in the air and this felt like it was going to be our playoffs, win or lose. We could easily lose to a team like Houston with our best, which would be disappointing of course, but I was excited for the feel of a playoff game even if we didn't get to experience the real thing this year. Instead it's being treated as a mid-May game, losing in a middle-inning white-flag way with the worst pitcher on our roster, a "no hands on deck" game...and it just pours cold water on any sense that we were headed for a potentially exciting stretch run of the season in search of a playoff berth. Totally unexpected too.

Fantastic post. Pat yourself on the proverbial back.

 

[shawnrbu]

Llovera warming.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

He will.

Yeah, he definitely will

 

[LogansDad]

"Tired bullpen".

They used two relievers yesterday, neither of whom would have been useful when they were up 4-3. Fuck off with that noise.

 

[Sprowl]

It will rain.

Exactly. Something is up that we don’t know about yet.

 

[BigSoxFan]

“Hey Grandpa Kyle…can you tell me about your last MLB outing pitching for the Red Sox?”

“ugh….sorry Timmy…it’s your bedtime”

“But grandpa, it’s 5:30pm…”

“JUST GO TO BED, TIMMY!”

 

[Dewey's 'stache]

Over Macho Grande?….
I’ll never be over Mack Grande…

Just shilling for Cora. Nobody wants to call him out for this bullshit. Cowards

Been talking to McGuire?

This is as if Chaim told Cora he's not coming back next year.

 

[Bergs]

This is as if Chaim told Cora he's not coming back next year.

Or there's a bunch of shit we don't know.

 

[budcrew08]

Would you give Rafaela his first AB here?

 

[mauidano]

Payback is a bitch. It was all fun and games last week when we humiliated the Astors 17-1.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Been talking to McGuire?

This is good.

 

[pk1627]

Maybe a lot more COVID? This is crazy. I can understand going with your worse pitcher in key innings one game. Not two

 

[E5 Yaz]

Would you give Rafaela his first AB here?

He's already in the game

 

[scotian1]

Or there's a bunch of shit we don't know.

I really think Bloom told Cora to use this guy tonight over his objections.

 

[patinorange]

The strangest thing in the game? They walked Urias twice.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Base hit!

 

[mauidano]

First swing, first hit.

 

[budcrew08]

Would you give Rafaela his first AB here?

First swing first hit! Let’s go!!!

 

[ngruz25]

Cedanne’s a wiry little dude.

 

[mr_smith02]

I wouldn't want my first hit in this shitshow of a game

 

[simplicio]

8 walks tonight? Who needs to see pitches?

 

[LogansDad]

Poor Ceddane.

 

[Sprowl]

Ceddanne covers the outside edge like... (wait for it)

Mookie.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

“Attention Bloom and front office morons. Your triumphs mean nothing. You all stink. You can sit on it and rotate. This is Alex Cora. I fear no reprisal”

 

[budcrew08]

He's already in the game

I didn’t realize they had put him the game.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

I really think Bloom told Cora to use this guy tonight over his objections.

It really strains credulity to believe the GM is threatening his own standing in order to force the manager to use a journeyman pitcher.

Best news about Rafaela - wears his socks up, as a ball player should.

 

[LogansDad]

Ah, good. He fits right in.

 

[mauidano]

Nice job kid. Double play picked.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Red Sox have a machine to develop players with poor fundamentals.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Hey, your first base running mistake. Welcome to the team kid!

 

[budcrew08]

Oh the bad baserunning stink gets Ceddanne too

 

[patinorange]

The topper on the night. He will fit right in.
