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

[LogansDad]

Has it been shown that starting a man at second base is actually shortening the games?

There were only 3 games in 2022 that went 13+ innings. This is the 4th one this year. Only two have gone 14 throughout the two seasons.

By quick math there were 23 such games in 2019, with 20 of them going more than 14 and the longest being 19.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Four innings with a runner on second and no out, and they get one run. We are fucking terrible.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

They would need at least six outs from Llovera to win this game.

 

[Rovin Romine]

Just left for a nice Rosh Hashana dinner. . .shocked to come back and find this is still going on.

 

[fenwaypaul]

Llovera in a dangerous time.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

How does it feel to be 0-for-6 in a crucial game, Schneider, you overrated prick?

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Thanks Vlad.

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

Siddown, Schneider!

 

[mauidano]

The Jays have made a couple of mistakes on the base paths late today. Good catch Ceddanne...finally.

 

[derekson]

I llove Cedanne Chipper Rafaela's defense!

 

[patinorange]

They might run the bases worse than the Sox.

 

[shawnrbu]

Great catch.

 

[LogansDad]

The Jays are as bad at baserunning as the Sox.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Balk here would be epic.

 

[barclay]

That was a helluva catch by the kid, even if he was sleepwalking earlier. He'll learn.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Llovera in a dangerous time.

Fitting for a game in Canada.

 

[mauidano]

FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

Was bound to happen . . .

 

[dhappy42]

Wtf?

 

[shawnrbu]

WHAT

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Jays are going nowhere playing like this. Celebrate while you can.

 

[patinorange]

Devers.

 

[Sprowl]

Let down by our Raffys.

 

[Murby]

Devers’ defense needs to get better. Tough play, but it should be made.

 

[mauidano]

Raffy feeling the pain of not making that play.

 

[shawnrbu]

Sign Chapman.

 

[barclay]

Not in the least bit disturbed because I'm in the "lets get the best draft pick possible" mentality now

 

[LogansDad]

Devers’ defense needs to get better. Tough play, but it should be made.

He had no chance with Merrifield running, he's one of the fastest dudes in the league.

 

[LynnRice75]

Llovera in a dangerous time.

This post made the crappy game a bit better. Well done.

 

[moonshotmanny]

At least it is finally over.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Did he bobble the ball or just not throw it because it was too late?

 

[fenwaypaul]

Devers.

I wanted to blame him too, but after seeing the replay I don’t think he had a play at either base even if he had managed to get the ball out of his glove quickly.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Did he bobble the ball or just not throw it because it was too late?

I am not sure, but I don't think he had a play even with a clean pick.

 

[mauidano]

Did he bobble the ball or just not throw it because it was too late?

No mans land...couldn't make a throw.

 

[LynnRice75]

Will we ever get to .500 again before game 1 of 2024?

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Llovera in a dangerous time.

That game definitely gave me Cockburn.

 

[mauidano]

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

He had no chance with Merrifield running, he's one of the fastest dudes in the league.

Yeah, that was just shit luck. It wasn’t on Raffy

 

[patinorange]

You might be right, but it would have been nice to see an attempt.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Did he bobble the ball or just not throw it because it was too late?

No chance to get him

 

[Beomoose]

Will we ever get to .500 again before game 1 of 2024?

Outlook unclear, ask again later.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

That game definitely gave me Cockburn.

Perfect.

 

[fenwaypaul]

You might be right, but it would have been nice to see an attempt.

Agreed. He certainly had nothing to lose.

 

[The Gray Eagle]

Weiss Houdinied his way out of that inning.

Point: Reyes.

Llovera in a dangerous time.

These obscure puns need a lot more praise, despite the result of the game.

It’s the wine talking.

 

[LogansDad]

I'm not really sure where to put this, but in the "Why can't NESN be better" category, I noticed tonight that the Mets' broadcast has this spiffy spot on their starting lineups graphic that shows who is on the bench and which way they bat. It's a little thing, but it is a really effective use of the screen space.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Bullpen was fantastic, so there is that.

 

[Rovin Romine]

Silendipity

 

[AB in DC]

Five hits in 13 innings? Well, at least we have an answer to the OP.
