Ace vs Ace: Nola @ Houck.

[Sprowl]

Duran lets fly an emphatic F-bomb.

 

[InsideTheParker]

I'm behind in the game, but was the signal choppy in the 3rd and 4th?

Not for me.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Ouch

 

[Ale Xander]

Won't it be raining tomorrow night?

Current forecast is after the game is official (late)

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Broken foot IL incoming. Par for the season.

 

[staz]

Didn't cleats used to have a protective tongue flap thing at one time?

 

[Ale Xander]

Broken foot IL incoming. Par for the season.

Who?????

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Who?????

Hamilton. Just dumb speculation.

 

[Dewey's 'stache]

Dom Smith looks like he's 28 going on 37.

Trying to scoop the numerous errant throws from his teammates has taken a toll on him

 

[strek1]

Why was Devers playing in so far on that hit?

 

[staz]

Did DOB even mention Hamilton is out there playing SS?

 

[Rovin Romine]

Houck at 89 pitches. . .I let him go until there's an obvious problem.

 

[Rovin Romine]

Trying to scoop the numerous errant throws from his teammates has taken a toll on him

Heh - nice.

 

[Dewey's 'stache]

Did DOB even mention Hamilton is out there playing SS?

I don’t believe he did

 

[staz]

I'm with Lou on the HR Derby.

Stay the fuck away.

“My grandpa was Richard John,” Kerkering said. “My dad is Richard Todd. I'm Richard Orion. So we always go by our middle names. That's why I've always been Orion. They just liked the name a lot."

Personally, I always think the less All-Stars the better. I want guys who are rested with a chip on their shoulder.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

4-6-3 upcoming.

 

[moretsyndrome]

Does anyone think the camera is going out of its way to capture the Lady in Red in the second row between pitches?

 

[E5 Yaz]

Does anyone think the camera is going out of its way to capture the Lady in Red in the front row between pitches?

Not by itself

 

[absintheofmalaise]

I'm glad I was wrong.

 

[E5 Yaz]

I'm glad I was wrong.

He sure showed you

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

That’ll work. Don’t mind the aggression.

 

[staz]

Didn't he get gunned down at 3rd yesterday too?

 

[canderson]

Valdez had a hitch midway to third, otherwise he would be safe

Edit Valdez not Devers, half paying attention

 

[derekson]

Valdez making the third out at third again. Yeesh, not the way to follow up a well struck double.

 

[AB in DC]

Wasn't Valdez the one who did that the other day? Doubling and then making the last out of the inning at third?

 

[nvalvo]

Manu is hitting again.

 

[Dewey's 'stache]

Emmanuel, duran too slow

 

[nvalvo]

He's drawing the throw, right? To make sure Devers scores from first. I don't hate that.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Didn't he get gunned down at 3rd yesterday too?

Yes, but ahead by this much I don't mind. Make them make the play.

 

[staz]

Yes, but ahead by this much I don't mind. Make them make the play.

tru dat

 

[Dewey's 'stache]

Does anyone think the camera is going out of its way to capture the Lady in Red in the second row between pitches?

The camera may be trying to figure out why some guy decided to dress as an alligator in row 2. I know the guy directly behind him is asking.

 

[Rovin Romine]

Nice double play.

 

[strek1]

Yes, but ahead by this much I don't mind. Make them make the play.

Well I'm on the fence about that. There are still 3 innings to go and we don't have the greatest pen in the world. Also I doubt if the lead or Raffy scoring factored into his decision to go. I think he probably feels he's faster than he is. Anyway, hopefully we have enough.

 

[staz]

Dom just happy to be chatted up by a superstar.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

The Phillies have such a weird lineup. Their leadoff hitter will have 200+ Ks and their #2 hitter has an .277 OBP. But it works.

 

[strek1]

I had flashes of Swihart as Duran slid into that wall in left.

Sox belted him around.

 

[Rovin Romine]

Dom's been hot lately.

 

[Rovin Romine]

Sox belted him around.

The fault was in himself.

 

[staz]

Williamstown, Mass. native and childhood friend Chris Conroy is the 1B ump.

Sox fan growing up, of course.

 

[nvalvo]

Okay, so when Casas and Abreu get back, here is my lineup vs. RHSP:

L Duran LF
L Devers 3B
L Casas 1B
L Abreu RF
L Yoshida DH
L Valdez 2B
L McGuire C
L Hamilton SS
R Rafaela CF

Bench: R Refsnyder, R Wong, R O'Neill, R Gonzalez

Kinda sound like a bunch of Dicks.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

The craziest Houck stat is the two home runs allowed in 90 innings.

 

[canderson]

PHL feed showed a dude wearing a Kyrie Irving Celtics jersey.

 

[Rovin Romine]

I kinda want Schwarber to try to steal here.

 

[patinorange]

Love the Kyle, now get the hell out of town.

 

[Harry Hooper]

W

 

[canderson]

Keller with the 3 inning save to win the series vs the best team in baseball.

First Boston series win vs a team with a wining record.

Go figure
