8/25/23 - Los Angeles at Boston

[shawnrbu]

Light Graterol up.

 

[patinorange]

It’s truly shocking the extent to which Fenway has been overtaken by Dodgers fans.

You should see Dodger Stadium when the Sox are there.

Via Sox promo, you can buy 4 tickets, 4 hot dogs, and 4 drinks to many games for $99 now. Local interest is WAY down.

 

[DadOfFenway]

In comes a guy that was almost a red sox.... so many damn connections

The Felger and Mazz Effect.

The bullpen coach that took the phone call is also a former Red Sox player

Punto should have thrown out the first pitch.

 

[shawnrbu]

Green light.

 

[bosockboy]

Hate the green light there.

 

[Ale Xander]

Lucky

dumb swing by Turner

 

[LogansDad]

You just can't swing at that junk on 3-0.

 

[patinorange]

Another weird 3-0 swing.

 

[mauidano]

I suppose you trade an out for a run.

 

[strek1]

That's the second bad 3-0 swing we've had. Just got lucky it wasn't two.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Pressly just imploded for the Astros and gave up 4 runs after getting first 2 batters.

 

[shawnrbu]

I suppose you trade an out for a run.

Unless you’re Freeman.

 

[mauidano]

Less than optimal.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Can Duvall hit a homer here to make us all happy?
Gameday says NO.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

This offense really turns on and off inning by inning, huh?

 

[strek1]

Had 2 on and 3-0 count and then we started swinging away. Unreal.

 

[JOBU]

Need this run badly

 

[bosockboy]

Gotta wonder if you should have went to Wilyer there.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

They got a run back. Stop them next half and get more.

 

[LogansDad]

So. Fucking. Frustrating.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Choosing Downs over Graterol was probably a mistake.

 

[LogansDad]

Had 2 on and 3-0 count and then we started swinging away. Unreal.

So stupid. This team just doesn't do the little things well.

 

[katnado]

0-6 with RISP and 7 left on base so far. Offense is just so streaky

 

[bosockboy]

Choosing Downs over Graterol was probably a mistake.

Wouldn’t have had Wong.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Choosing Downs and Wong over Graterol was probably a mistake.

Fixed - not sure this statement is true.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Choosing Downs over Graterol was probably a mistake.

But would they have gotten Verdugo and Wong?

 

[patinorange]

Had 2 on and 3-0 count and then we started swinging away. Unreal.

You have to make this guy throw a strike.
on the other hand Masa probably would have hit into a double play on a grounder to second.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

But would they have gotten Verdugo and Wong?

That definitely not how I remember it

 

[RCheco56]

I loves me some Bernadino

 

[LynnRice75]

You have to make this guy throw a strike.
on the other hand Masa probably would have hit into a double play on a grounder to second.

Both of those are true.

 

[LogansDad]

Now we get to use Bernardino against righties.

Excellent.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Pressly just imploded for the Astros and gave up 4 runs after getting first 2 batters.

With the Sox probably kicking this one away, what the Astros do becomes ho hum.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Now we get to use Bernardino against righties.

Excellent.

What's the worst that can happen?

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Hopefully someone asks Cora why Bernardino wasn’t ready to come in for Muncy.

 

[DadOfFenway]

Devers.

 

[shawnrbu]

Will we see Tilt in the 8th?

 

[shawnrbu]

Hopefully someone asks Cora why Bernardino wasn’t ready to come in for Muncy.

Tomase will do it.

 

[mauidano]

Completely unnecessary Bernie.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Walking Rosario is lame

 

[E5 Yaz]

Ablelist

 

[patinorange]

Hard guy to walk. Challenge met.

 

[LogansDad]

Hopefully someone asks Cora why Bernardino wasn’t ready to come in for Muncy.

Everything just feels like they are flying by thecseat of their pants. Batters swinging at the first pitch, or at 3-0 pitches. Fielders throwing balls all over the place. Bullpen management that makes no sense or is completely reactionary.

 

[shawnrbu]

Dodgers had a doubleheader yesterday. Maybe their bullpen is gassed.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Ablelist

Yeah well you are Matt Cainist

Meanwhile Bernardino got a right handed hitter. Wut is going on?

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Cora just woke up, I guess?

 

[Van Everyman]

Ablelist

Agree.
