7/8/2023 Oakland @ Boston - Nothing But Squib Cakes!

[absintheofmalaise]

Who is the 3rd man in the booth?

Mr. Dell.

 

[LogansDad]

Nice 1st inning. Let's get the offense off to a good start now. 6 runs sounds reasonable.

Disappointment reigns.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Mr. Dell.

Thanks. He's not bad.

 

[LogansDad]

Thanks. He's not bad.

He's pretty good and he loves the sport. Great Twitter follow.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

He's pretty good and he loves the sport. Great Twitter follow.

I like him in the booth too.

 

[LogansDad]

Good at bat by Diaz there.

 

[JCizzle]

He's pretty good and he loves the sport. Great Twitter follow.

I really like him. I wish they’d just name him the full time analyst and be done with it. I’m not a fan of the never ending booth rotation through the year. Youk made too much money to ever commit to a full time gig.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

I like him in the booth too.

It's sort of crazy that he's still only 34. He really did have a very short and unimpressive career. Peaked as a rookie.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Turner is crazy en fuego

He'd bring a relative shit-ton

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

GOT HEEM!

 

[absintheofmalaise]

It's sort of crazy that he's still only 34. He really did have a very short and unimpressive career. Peaked as a rookie.

Also on his wedding day.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Also on his wedding day.

Short and unimpressive yet again

 

[absintheofmalaise]

I remember reading that he either can't, or doesn't want, to do a fulltime gig because of this wife's travel schedule because of the kids.

 

[E5 Yaz]

I'm guessing Alfaro catches tomorrow

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

I remember reading that he either can't, or doesn't want, to do a fulltime gig because of this wife's travel schedule because of the kids.

Then he should step aside and let Middlebrooks and Merloni carry the load.

 

[Curt S Loew]

Thanks. He's not bad.

He's very good. He must have snuck that by in the interview.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Basehit!

 

[InsideTheParker]

Then he should step aside and let Middlebrooks and Merloni carry the load.

I thought he was referring to Jenny Dell.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Huh, like last night with a cheap hit. Line drive in the box score!

 

[Ale Xander]

Wongers

 

[absintheofmalaise]

I thought he was referring to Jenny Dell.

I was.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

This recent hot stretch had ratcheted Kike's OPS all the way up to .614 on the season, prior to that popup.

 

[fenwaypaul]

Huh, like last night with a cheap hit. Line drive in the box score!

And the 2-2 pitch to him should have been strike three. This ump has been squeezing Pruitt. Not that I’m complaining.

 

[Al Zarilla]

LHP coming in. DON'T PINCH HIT FOR DURAN!

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Find someone in life who loves you as much as Cora loves Kike.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Former Brewster Whitecap Sam Moll

 

[Ale Xander]

Looking forward to the Duran Rafaela Verdugo OF in 2025 with Mayer at SS

 

[Bergs]

Jesus tapdancing Duran!

 

[pk1627]

Good god the bleachers are fairly empty

Not chock full. But a goodly number to see Duran go deep.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Guess he can hit lefties.

Are the MVP chants starting yet?

 

[Ale Xander]

Who is this guy???

 

[LogansDad]

DO NOT TRADE DURAN

 

[Madmartigan]

Is Duran for real?

 

[Ale Xander]

DO NOT TRADE DURAN

Corollary:
Do not trade Rafaela for mediocre pitching

 

[InsideTheParker]

LHP coming in. DON'T PINCH HIT FOR DURAN!

Huh.

 

[E5 Yaz]

You just know there's someone in the analytics department saying, "Sure, that happened, but he still should have pinch-hit with Refsnyder"

 

[Al Zarilla]

Is Duran for real?

Second coming of Fred Lynn, except he runs like a banshee.

 

[LogansDad]

Turner should probably be out twice

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Blue Jays got no hit.

 

[Ale Xander]

Paging Earl Weaver

 

[E5 Yaz]

Turner should probably be out twice

You do wonder whether umpires don't give the benefit of the doubt to pitchers from awful teams

 

[E5 Yaz]

Blue Jays got no hit.

And only struck out 7 times -- which, in these times, is something

 

[Ale Xander]

Stop throwing at Raffy, jackass

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Squander.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Squander.

Like it matters. We're just marking time until the sweep and the all-star break

I'm going to wrap your posts in Saran Wrap in a frame for posterity.

 

[Al Zarilla]

First hit this year for Pina.

 

[LogansDad]

Nice recovery after the bomb.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Triston CA$AS!

 

[Al Zarilla]

Alphonse and Gaston!
