9/16 - Sox and Jays (Poetic or Pathetic?)

[Harry Hooper]

great camerawork

 

[derekson]

You're not going to Llove the answer.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

This has been the bugaboo for three weeks. We get a big a second out. But can’t get the third.

 

[S. H. Frog]

Yikes.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Will I hate it?

Almost certainly. But hey, we'll have a chance to win it because...

GOT HEEM!

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Alrighty then Coldplay!

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Espinal had no chance there. Cavan Biggio at least would have had a chance. That was some poor managing.

 

[S. H. Frog]

Martin looked happy to get out of that

 

[Harry Hooper]

Good news: Martin gets out of it.

Bad news: Another inning to go.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Got back to the car for that and it ended well. Yay!

 

[Max Power]

So, Schreiber? He's been struggling lately. Verdugo seems to be throwing it best today. Maybe he can take the 9th.

 

[Buster Olney the Lonely]

See post 82.

D’oh. Thanks.

This is all set up for Llovera to work his magic

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

So, three righties due up in the bottom of the ninth. But two lefties and a switch in the dugout.

 

[derekson]

A new home plate umpire for the 9th? Why not?!

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

So, Schreiber? He's been struggling lately. Verdugo seems to be throwing it best today. Maybe he can take the 9th.

Yeah, Schreiber I guess. I might give Weiss a chance. What the fuck. Maybe you find something.

Whitlock?

 

[fenwaypaul]

Tender is the neck?

 

[Harry Hooper]

Great opportunity to test out robo-ump is wasted.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Tender is the neck?

Fun Fact: That was the working title of Billy Squier's "Lonely Is The Night", until a last-minute re-write in the studio.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Apparently, the ump had to go over the border to retrieve his equipment.

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

Where is the ump, Boston?

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

He has to find a cup that fits.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Catchers put their shit on between innings. What is this about? Get your fucking mask and go.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

He has to listen to his Stuart Smalley affirmations

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Brennan Miller looks like a steroided meathead, like many umpires.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

So who makes calls on plays at second?

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

So who makes calls on plays at second?

Are you available?

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Schreiber it is

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Are you available?

Yes but I would be biased.

 

[Harry Hooper]

So who makes calls on plays at second?

Depends on the situation with batted ball placement and baserunners: https://umpire.baseball.ca/pdfs/3UManualFinal.pdf

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Yes but I would be biased.

I think they take the corners with bases empty, but then move around with runners on base.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Verdug0-for-4.

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

So who makes calls on plays at second?

2nd baseman on the honor system

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

Verdug0-for-4.

5 guys in the lineup are oh for

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Duvall is so damn strong that even his pop-ups reach the warning track. Dude's a beast.

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

Flemming: Verdugo and Duvall, oh for their last 41.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Flemming: Verdugo and Duvall, oh for their last 41.

Seriously?

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

Combined, yes.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

That’s crazy.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Twit Merrifield has no chance.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Cavan is a stupid name.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Wow, how far has Chapman fallen to have Cavan Biggo pinch hit for you

 

[simplicio]

Cavan is a stupid name.

Sounds like a bookshelf model at pottery barn.

 

[Harry Hooper]

At least he made him hit his way on

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Cavan Biggio is more John Henry Williams than Ken Griffey, Jr.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

God damn Schreiber.

 

[Harry Hooper]

That's just great.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Just barely fucking hanging on.

Wouldn't mind putting this guy on actually. Rather face Springer.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

God damn Schreiber.

Nina Simone toyed with this before going in a different direction.

 

[pk1627]

Put this guy on
