[nvalvo]

Gotta hand it to Mateo for toughing it out!

he’s a fun player.

[SemperFidelisSox]

It’s a bridge year.

A Bourne Bridge year. It will be worse as the summer goes on.

It was. But Sale not doing himself any favors with his lack of composure.

 

[BornToRun]

Did none of this guy’s teammates tell him his hair is gross?

 

[brandonchristensen]

TRIPLE

 

[BornToRun]

That’s something!

 

[brandonchristensen]

Did none of this guy’s teammates tell him his hair is gross?

He just came from the soup kitchen and didn’t have time to shower

 

[nvalvo]

Huh. That’s out of like 27 parks, right?

 

[ngruz25]

Two games, two Red Sox triples. I like that trend.

 

[BornToRun]

He’s giving him everything off.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Manufacturing runs

 

[nvalvo]

On the board!

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Duvall with the wheels

 

[Sprowl]

A gift from Mullins. Most centerfielders make that catch.

 

[OurF'ingCity]

Feels like Mullins should’ve caught that. But I’ll take it.

 

[Comfortably Lomb]

Huh. That’s out of like 27 parks, right?

It's also caught if Mullins doesn't bungle it. He was there and maybe worried about running into the wall.

 

[DadOfFenway]

Duvall doing it on his own.

 

[nvalvo]

It's also caught if Mullins doesn't bungle it. He was there and maybe worried about running into the wall.

I think that’s right. Not an easy play, but a play many CFs make. It was so high there was enough time to get under it.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Every Bloom year is a bridge year

Well, he didn't sign Sale, did he?

 

[OurF'ingCity]

Is there a reason why NESN got rid of the strike box? I don’t have strong thoughts one way or the other on that but seems weird they got rid of it since they had it for so long.

 

[S. H. Frog]

Interesting strike zone today. Dynamic

 

[JOBU]

Hot mic

I like it. Makes it so everyone watching doesn’t know for sure.

 

[nvalvo]

A lot of f bombs about the strike zone on the broadcast.

 

[BornToRun]

I like it. Makes it so everyone watching doesn’t know for sure.

Didn’t know the ump was watching the broadcast

 

[LynnRice75]

Might be my imagination - and I’ve not gone back to look - but both today and yesterday, Casas seemed to catch the third out of an inning at first then leap forward, eyeing a runner as if not realizing how many outs there were. Better to err thinking there are fewer outs than to err the other way, but it’s a little odd.

I like it, maybe need it, since I don't see as well as I used to and don't have the biggest TV.

 

[Beomoose]

Duvall is the heart of this offense

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Yep, he definitely did that at least once in the first game.

 

[BornToRun]

They got on the board, Chris. Buckle down and keep it where it’s at

 

[nvalvo]

That changeup is so important.

 

[nvalvo]

BABIP dropping fast.

 

[BornToRun]

BABIP dropping fast.

Damn you

 

[OurF'ingCity]

BABIP dropping fast.

Too soon.

 

[BornToRun]

He’s got no feel for the fastball.

 

[nvalvo]

It’s not 1.000 anymore, is it?

 

[BornToRun]

BABIP dropping fast.

Seriously. Damn you.

 

[JOBU]

Jesus Christ

 

[ngruz25]

That's terribly unhelpful.

 

[Sprowl]

Untrue outcomes kinda suck too.

 

[Remagellan]

Raffy can't do that all day.

 

[DadOfFenway]

argh. that sucks...

 

[JOBU]

Robot umps

 

[nvalvo]

He’s getting squeezed, but he’s been so erratic with fastball location that he’s not exactly earning the strikes.

 

[Fishy1]

Ref has screwed him out of a K and now delivered a walk. Awful

 

[BornToRun]

I don’t like where this is going.

 

[strek1]

Robot umps

Should have had them 2 years ago. They keep saying it's not perfected but it's got to be better than these clowns.

 

[Remagellan]

I don’t like where this is going.

Is that a comment on the game, the season, or both?

 

[The Gray Eagle]

I hate not having it.
Almost as much as I hate watching Sale labor ineffectively.
