9/2 - Playing out the string

[E5 Yaz]

You must be old like me.

At least half this board is old like you

 

[DeadlySplitter]

This pitching staff is so dead, man.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

I wonder how many times the Houck-Beatty thing has been done previously

He’s been hit 21 times in 670 PA’s which kinda seems like a lot.

 

[JOBU]

Ring him up you pirate of shit

Well it's comforting to know that we've got guys like The Blizzard of Balls coming up to fill the void when elimination day comes.

According to @Stathead, Beaty is only the fifth player in MLB history to have at least 3 HBP against the Red Sox.

Brandon Guyer, Rays (4/21/16)
Damion Easley, Tigers (7/16/02, 5/31/99)
Bill Freehan, Tigers (8/16/68)
Sherm Lolar, White Sox (6/8/56)

Houck now has an ERA over 5 for the season

He's so vain, he probably thinks the HBP were about him.

I believe it.

Niiiiiiicccceeeee

Also, I heard he's a big dick.

The fact that the same guy was hit 3 times by the same team not once (quirky) but twice (not so quirky), ignites the suspicious and wondering mind. I mean, there's something happenin' there, even if what it is ain't entirely clear.

Everybody!!! Look what's going on.

Luxury Ceddanne plunks Cora!

 

[JOBU]

He’s gonna have some pine tar in his locker tomorrow

 

[JOBU]

That may raise some eyebrows

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Haha, DOB just referred to this guy as "Felix" Fermin, who last played in MLB in 1996.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

GOT HEEM!

 

[Bergs]

This Melendez guy...what the fuck?

 

[patinorange]

A win. A win is a win.

 

[moonshotmanny]

Finally Water again.

[mr_smith02]

Lots of teams the Sox need to lose tonight are doing so.

 

[AB in DC]

At this point I'd rather the Yankees lose than the 'stros.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Lots of teams the Sox need to lose tonight are doing so.

Shouldn't that be "needed"? Isn't it too late for other teams' losses to matter, esp. given the Sox schedule going forward?
You know, I was thinking of getting a larger telly so I don't have to ask you guys if Devers should have had that, but the only reason I want a bigger one is baseball, and if the Sox are going to suck from here on out, I don't think I'll bother. Waiting for an off-season signal from Bloom et al.
