8/11 Grab The Tiger By The Tail

[mauidano]

Javy Baez also meeting expectations.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Casas would have had that.

 

[barclay]

THANKS, JAVY!

 

[derekson]

Monaco and Youk is by far the best announcing team

 

[JOBU]

A ground ball with eyes!

 

[BornToRun]

Every time Raffy does a thing I just have to smile knowing that he’s all locked up.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Did the Orioles suspend Dave O’Brien?

 

[Harry Hooper]

Serious gas for the K.

 

[BornToRun]

Got jobbed on the 2-0. 2-2 was a beautiful pitch.

 

[mauidano]

Did the Orioles suspend Dave O’Brien?

Well done.

 

[chrisfont9]

This inning is why FIP exists.

 

[chrisfont9]

Mowin

 

[scottyno]

Sale sucks, he let them put a ball in play

 

[JOBU]

Mowin

Pricks

 

[waffles.]

Maybe he can give us 5.

 

[Ronnie_Dobbs]

Looking sharp!

 

[JOBU]

Ugh

 

[Rovin Romine]

He needs a helmet with a chin strap.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

They really should start extension talks with Sale

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Baez giveth. Baez taketh away.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

How the fuck did Baez make that play?

 

[barclay]

Javy giveth and yet taketh away

 

[strek1]

Lol Baez. Just a hideous contract that everyone knew was a disaster from the jump.

What do you think of me now, he says.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

I greatly dislike Baez, but that was one hell of a play

 

[Rovin Romine]

They really should start extension talks with Sale

Don't trigger the lurkers!

 

[LesterFan]

Wasn't on the bag. Bad non challenge

 

[JOBU]

I think he was off but you can’t really tell

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Why not challenge that?!

 

[patinorange]

Wasn't on the bag. Bad non challenge

That didn't look close. Way off the bag.

 

[Ronnie_Dobbs]

Don't trigger the lurkers!

Hey now!

 

[chrisfont9]

Wasn't on the bag. Bad non challenge

Not sure the replay was good enough to overturn though. Need another angle.

 

[BornToRun]

What do you think of me now, he says.

He still sucks

edit: see?

 

[Back Bay]

I like watching Chris Sales. He can still rack up the strikeouts.

 

[BornToRun]

He’s no gold glover but Raffy has come a long way with his throws.

 

[S. H. Frog]

Lord. Sale is sick

 

[Ronnie_Dobbs]

I like watching Chris Sales. He can still rack up the strikeouts.

And his old man was pretty hilarious in his day too

 

[scottyno]

Only 36 pitches

 

[BornToRun]

I see an under the radar, Vaz-like extension for Wong in the near future.

 

[chrisfont9]

He’s no gold glover but Raffy has come a long way with his throws.

That peg in the '18 WS is an all time favorite.

 

[BornToRun]

Nice work, Adam.

 

[chrisfont9]

This HP ump (Jim Wolf) is sharp.

 

[strek1]

Leadoff guy on first 3 innings and we have ONE run? Unacceptable.

 

[waffles.]

Gotta leave him in there

 

[absintheofmalaise]

And his old man was pretty hilarious in his day too

How do you feel about BABIP as a stat?

 

[BornToRun]

Gotta let him stretch it out a bit. 42 through 4. Might sneak through 6 at this rate.

 

[derekson]

Sooooo is Sale on a strict pitch count?

 

[BornToRun]

Sooooo is Sale on a strict pitch count?

Think they said between 50-70

 

[LesterFan]

I think Sale gets 1 more inning

 

[BornToRun]

Credit where it’s due, Skubal’s butt looks good in those pants.

 

[Sam Ray Not]

This would be a legitimately exciting Sale showing if we were, like, five games ahead of our current pace (say, had we not pissed away five games with gross defense, boneheaded baserunning, etc.) But even as is, it’s not totally unexciting.
