2023 ST Game Thread

[ColdSoxPack]

From today's AJC. Seems like the catcher plays a role here.

The umpire said I was looking down,” Conley told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution after the game. “I was looking down at the catcher as he was standing up. Not really sure if the pitcher was ready to go, (and the) catcher definitely wasn’t. I was just trying to go with the rhythm of them, kind of wasn’t looking at the clock. Next time, should’ve called time in that situation, I guess, is what the umpire said. I guess learn from it and move on.”

I am unabashedly in love with this team already.

[A Bad Man]

I'm a fan of Winckowski's new look:

Mustache comfort

 

[Rovin Romine]

Niko "break glass" Goodrum

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Agree w/ the announcers, Goodrum looks larger than I thought.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Casas’ face shield looks enormous.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Good swing by Raffy.

 

[picniclightning]

Mata looking good

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Those neck tattoos better make it into The Show!

 

[Rovin Romine]

This is a great AAA starter showcase game.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Mata looking nasty.

 

[mauidano]

Mata is our new Neck Tat guy.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Pace of play is fantastic. Long overdue.

 

[BoSox Rule]

Mata is gonna be a very valuable member of this team this year I think. Love him.

 

[picniclightning]

Two at bats, 2 solid contacts by Verdugo

 

[LogansDad]

Two at bats, 2 solid contacts by Verdugo

I really think he is going to be a game changer this year.

 

[mauidano]

Love the pace of play.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

The pitch clock will be in the score bug for the regular season.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Ump fail.

 

[Blizzard of 1978]

Dugie looking thinner too. Best shape of his life!

Agreed.
Much better shape.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

How pissed is Carlos Correa that the clock violation signal is the ump pointing at their non-existent watch?

 

[LogansDad]

Great video of a gator hanging out next to a discarded water bottle there.

I think it was a log/branch. Could be wrong.

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Mata is our new Neck Tat guy.

Was Velazquez our last one?

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Was Velazquez our last one?

I believe so and his was/were better.

 

[mauidano]

JT is a veteran; he's got all the cliches down.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Fitzy is about to untie the game again.

 

[mauidano]

C'mon Lugo!

(Never thought those words would ever be spoken again.)

 

[InsideTheParker]

Lugo's blooper scores three runs.

 

[nvalvo]

Was Velazquez our last one?

Sandy Leon!

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

I wanna see more of Rafaela.

 

[MuzzyField]

Great non-squander!

 

[nvalvo]

Who's Skyler Arias?

[Ferm Sheller]

Who's Skyler Arias?

A guy who's going to spend the summer in Greater Boston.

 

[nvalvo]

He's come up through the Guardians' and White Sox' system. Tons of Ks, not many hits, too many walks.

 

[LogansDad]

I love this booth. Monaco and Merloni are great together.

It's going to be such a bummer when they bring O'Brien back.

 

[LogansDad]

OOF

 

[InsideTheParker]

So, this Webb guy is no good, walks the bases loaded an gives up a salami.

 

[mauidano]

“Reassigned to Minor League Camp” by the time he gets to the dugout.

 

[LogansDad]

Would not be opposed to not seeing this guy pitch in Boston this year.

 

[MuzzyField]

It's going to be such a bummer when they bring O'Brien back.

Yes indeed.

DOB makes yard work and laundry fun.

 

[nvalvo]

Webb has a decent track record in Atlanta; he could be a decent candidate for the last spot in the bullpen.

Not if he keeps pitching like that, though.

 

[MuzzyField]

Nice chin moss.

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

I love this booth. Monaco and Merloni are great together.

Monaco has a really bright future. I really it's at nesn

 

[LogansDad]

Monaco has a really bright future. I really it's at nesn

He is good, so he probably ends up on NY or on the west coast, I agree.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Would not be opposed to not seeing this guy pitch in Boston this year.

I'm confused. Was today's appearance by Webb atypical for him?
