8/16 @ NatsTown!

[dhappy42]

Paxton not so sharp.

 

[Doc Zero]

man these’ve been smoked

we’ve lucked out with bases empty

 

[54thMA]

That should do it.

Nice location on that pitch; room service middle middle.

 

[Archer1979]

I didn’t think that was going out. Too high.

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Paxton tipping? The breaking balls are getting launched.

Edit: that was middle. Just bad execution. That's gotta be bounced if you're going to miss-- especially 0-2

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

That is insane that we've only used the same lineup 3 times all season.

To be fair, I think back to Joe Kerrigan's "set lineup" and how well that worked...

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

That's how you get Chavis out. It always has been. New jersey doesn't mean he's evolved.

 

[Al Zarilla]

This Gore reminds me of Steve Avery at his best, but not Tom Glavine. Tonight, though, Tom of Tom and Jerry could shut us out.

 

[budcrew08]

More BABIP unluckiness. Casas and Dugo have hit big ones to left, both caught.

 

[Curt S Loew]

Good news is that the game will probably be over by 9.

 

[Curtis Pride]

I'll be happy if Paxton can go 6 innings. If the score says low, the Sox can score and win late.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Do you have to buy a ticket for the dog?

 

[Bergs]

Of all the dumb shit in the world, what out-dumbs "dog at the ballpark"-level dumb?

 

[bigq]

I love dogs but I can’t imagine taking mine to a baseball game.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Do you have to buy a ticket for the dog?

It's reining ducats and dogs out there.

 

[Bergs]

Kike would've thrown that into right field.

 

[Bergs]

It's reining ducats and dogs out there.

Damn fine work.

 

[TFisNEXT]

Don’t think I’d run Paxton out there for the 6th. He hasn’t had his best stuff and gutted out a solid 5 innings.

Bats please.

 

[Sam Ray Not]

Okay … zero runs on two singles, one infield hit, and zero walks in the last **11 innings** against this crap pitching staff seems suboptimal. If BABIP is not our friend, maybe trying drawing a walk or two?

 

[Bergs]

Loved Merloni passing on the opportunity to invite DOB to his house.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

SMASH ONE, ROB!

 

[Bergs]

Let's go, boys.

 

[TFisNEXT]

Pay them pay for walking the 9 hitter

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Loved Merloni passing on the opportunity to invite DOB to his house.

My respect for Sweet Lou tripled after that exchange.

 

[Bergs]

offs

 

[S. H. Frog]

bleh

oh well

 

[patinorange]

Rob having a great game.

 

[Sam Ray Not]

Or just swing away and let the BABIP gods screw you…

 

[Salem's Lot]

What a shit at bat.

 

[Bergs]

Rob having a great game.

I'd love to see him taken out of the platoon role and turned into a bench player.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Hell of an outing for James J. Jimmy "Big Jimmy" Paxton. Only 92 pitches, I let him start the 7th.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Quality start plus for Paxton. Not his fault if Sox lose.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Speaking of the NYY series, I can't understand why mlb is preventing so many fans of both teams from watching the Friday night game by putting the game on Apple. It is infuriating.

It really is unbelievable that the on-line TV package won't let a person watch all the games.

 

[Bergs]

I said, NICE FUCKING SHUTOUT THIS KID HAS GOING

 

[The Gray Eagle]

This team's inconsistent offense is its biggest problem. I don't want to hear any BS about their average runs scored per game, that's not the issue-- there just have been too many games where they don't score 4 or more runs.
When they do get 4, they have an amazing record. A handful more of those and we'd be in a playoff spot now.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

I said, NICE FUCKING SHUTOUT THIS KID HAS GOING

Wait, is this cheesedick actually shutting out the Boston Red Sox??

 

[Rovin Romine]

Just logged in. We're being 1 hit by Gore?

Do hitting coaches have lifetime tenure now or something? Or is Gore just on fire?

So you're saying that when teams score more, they win more?

 

[Remagellan]

A couple of runs here would be nice...

 

[Bergs]

He's been mowing us down!

 

[Gator4MVP88]

June 30 - July 26: .295/.352/.506/.857 and 6 runs per game, 15-5 record.

July 28 - Aug 15: .237/.289/.398/.686 and 3.5 runs per game, 8-9 record.

 

[TFisNEXT]

Pro at bat there by Turner

 

[Rovin Romine]

And Chavis homered? Man.

 

[Obscure Name]

Gore's ERA was 6.5 this month heading into this game.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Wait, is this cheesedick actually shutting out the Boston Red Sox??

Well, his claim to fame is that he's an Oscar winner

 

[The Gray Eagle]

So you're saying that when teams score more, they win more?

Nope I'm saying this team doesn't score 4 runs per game often enough and that's a big problem.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Make him pay, Trevor!

 

[derekson]

Thanks, Chavis!

 

[103mph Screwball]

Good time for Story to put one in the seats
