Weird but ok

 

[Bergs]

I do not have a good feeling about this game.

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Devers needed to stay hot. He's just been boiled ass.

 

[Doc Zero]

Did Devers just forget how to hit fastballs above his knees?

 

[donutogre]

Guess we're stuck with the insipid DOB and motormouth Millar.

I must admit that while I follow the Sox' fortunes very closely, I have not watched a ton of games live in the last... 8 years? Just life. I have watched a fair few more this year, and the drop-off from what we had with Orsillo, Remy, and Eck were in the booth compared to the current situation is startling. The product is shockingly, dramatically worse.

212F is sorta hot, no?

 

[absintheofmalaise]

I do not have a good feeling about this game.

Perhaps a new Dunkin spiked coffee would help.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

The consummate JU$TIN TURNER!

 

[Ale Xander]

Anderson is sort of white bread boring but Darling isn’t horrible

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Turner gives a great at bat every damn time

Absolutely. Merloni is good, though.

Darling is great.

 

[Ale Xander]

Good seats still available

 

[Bergs]

Good seats still available

There are no good seats in Houston.

Actually, I love Lupe Tortilla.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

There are no good seats in Houston.

Airplane heading out

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

I'm not loving having Yoshida hitting fourth. Id probably flip him and Casas.

Your cleanup hitter shouldn't be hitting at 584 ops over his last 23 games.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

GOT HEEM!

Houck looks dominant.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Raffy makes me sad

 

[patinorange]

No words.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Looks bad but that was an impossible play

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Raffy being Raffy

 

[dhappy42]

Houk looks good.

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

There wasn't a play to be made, but devers approached that like a drunk baby deer. What the actual fuck, dude

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Raffy makes me sad

Why? He’s been the exact same player this year that he’s always been.

 

[Ale Xander]

That was a tough play

 

[InsideTheParker]

GOT HEEM!

Houck looks dominant.

Raffy does not.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Why? He’s been the exact same player this year that he’s always been.

Because I keep wanting him to be better.

 

[Doc Zero]

Yeah that was a base hit no matter what but Lord I am tired of seeing Devers, one arm akimbo, wearing an expression of utter confusion.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Kyle Fucker.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Oh, great

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Good night

 

[Reverse Curve]

Dang it, Ma.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Because I keep wanting him to be better.

Fair enough, don’t count on it though.

 

[Bergs]

Ugh.

 

[InsideTheParker]

arghh. Pedro expects Astros to win the WS again, by the way.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Houk looks good.

 

[Doc Zero]

I fucking hate this place

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Houck still can't get lefties out.

 

[Manzivino]

Probably don't want to throw too many 93 mph middle-middle.

 

[Moviegoer]

They're going to be lucky to not get swept.

 

[JOBU]

Have nots

 

[Blizzard of 1978]

This park is such a band box.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Playing this team after they were swept by Seattle and had a team meeting is terrible timing.

 

[Ale Xander]

Wasn’t there a movie, Tucker Must Die

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Houck now has a 5.29 ERA.

 

[Blizzard of 1978]

They're going to be lucky to not get swept.

I be happy with a split.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Wasn’t there a movie, Tucker Must Die

John Tucker, right?

 

[shawnrbu]

Not much zip on that throw from Story.

 

[JOBU]

This park is such a band box.

Well that would have been out of Yellowstone
