[mauidano]

JFC. This is the kind of stuff that just makes you crazy.

 

[Obscure Name]

Nice toss, rook.

 

[patinorange]

Nice throw.

 

[Harry Hooper]

clowns

 

[mauidano]

Looking like a bunch of Little Leaguers

 

[budcrew08]

 

[JOBU]

Haha. Way to fire up the troops Cora

 

[Blizzard of 1978]

Praying for that split of this series now.

 

[derekson]

Well, it was fun to think this year would be a playoff team.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Wong's fault for being too short

 

[Doc Zero]

So fucking sick of Llovera it’s unreal

 

[strek1]

Fundamentals again.

And AGAIN!

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Thanks for getting kicked out, Verdugo. That should have been you throwing to the plate.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

The new guy committing a horrific error is like getting jumped into a gang.

 

[strek1]

Well, it was fun to think this year would be a playoff team.

We've seen this so much. Win a big series and then go somewhere and lay an egg. No consistency.

 

[patinorange]

So fucking sick of Llovera it’s unreal

Putting him in this game, means Cora was playing for the split.

 

[JOBU]

Out? The fuck?

 

[soxin6]

The only thing worse than the Sox play are the umps

 

[Obscure Name]

I don't know how he was called safe.

 

[JOBU]

Blocking?

 

[E5 Yaz]

Out? The fuck?

As usual, Darling right on top of it

 

[Harry Hooper]

clowns

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

His foot touched the plate and then his knee before Wong even touched him.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Three subpar defensive plays in a row...

 

[patinorange]

I don't know how he was called safe.

That wasn't close.

 

[mr_smith02]

The Red Sox are not catching the Mariners.

 

[mauidano]

 

[JOBU]

What the fuck was he looking at the first time? Jesus Christ

maybe he thought it was a force?

 

[Harry Hooper]

I don't know how he was called safe.

???

Runner's right foot and left knee touched the plate before tag applied. I cannot figure out how the out call got made in the first place.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Folks, as Darling said, the ump got confused and thought the bases were loaded and it was a force play

 

[Blizzard of 1978]

Fundamentals again.

Bad defense with the Red Sox again. Someone has to be accountable.

 

[soxin6]

Scratch that, the Sox play is worse. They are getting swept. They are playing like they are a AAA team playing the WS champs

 

[shawnrbu]

How is Llovera on the roster and not Murphy?

 

[Harry Hooper]

Folks, as Darling said, the ump got confused and thought the bases were loaded and it was a force play

Makes sense

 

[JOBU]

Astros just toying with Boston

 

[Doc Zero]

I know you can’t throw the high-leverage guys in there every time there’s a 2- or 3-run deficit but was anyone expecting Llovera to get out of this without coughing up one or two more runs at least?

 

[patinorange]

Folks, as Darling said, the ump got confused and thought the bases were loaded and it was a force play

Yup, the other umps probably pointed this out and quickly overturned it.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Makes sense

That's why he called the crew chief in so quickly. He thought he'd made a mistake and acted quickly to rectify it.

 

[BigSoxFan]

How exactly is the defense going to be better next year with similar personnel? Everyone watching Tom Emansky video all winter?

 

[strek1]

The rout is on.

 

[Blizzard of 1978]

The Red Sox are not catching the Mariners.

AL West has that advantage. They play Oakland A's and Angels.

 

[hunter05]

Been 2 steps forward 5 steps back for this team for a while now. Any time it looks like they might be ready to go on a run they fall apart. They've done better than I thought thy would this year, though.

 

[patinorange]

And the .125 hitter seals it. The possible good news, they might DFA this stiff.

 

[JOBU]

Lol. Broken. At least we ain’t the Yankees. That’s all I got

 

[E5 Yaz]

Abreu's a DH

 

[DadOfFenway]

Annndddd... Good night.

 

[mauidano]

FUGLY. Thanks LLovera. This is on you. What an embarrassment tonight.

 

[Blizzard of 1978]

A .125 hitter just made this game a blowout.
