April 9, home opener

[brandonchristensen]

Wow. Good job.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Nope, never heard of em.

Oh, let me tell you. They are good!

 

[Rovin Romine]

We need some 2004 Not-Yet-Dead gamethread mojo.

 

[canyoubelieveit]

I'm just going to pretend that Bello went 6 innings and feel better about this game.

 

[donutogre]

5.1 is not gonna cut it against the O's.

A lot more worried about the 2 hits from the offense personally.

 

[Darnell's Son]

We need some 2004 Not-Yet-Dead gamethread mojo.

Don't let us win this inning!

 

[Harry Hooper]

Valdez stayed in - anything on any of the broadcasts re: what happened to his hand?

They're busy hosting the 2004 crew today, so not a lot of attention going toward the field.

 

[Darnell's Son]

A lot more worried about the 2 hits from the offense personally.

Half of those were homers, that's a sweet ratio.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Nobody on the bases for O'Neill. Look out!

 

[Harry Hooper]

Pitcher's pitch for the called K.

 

[Rovin Romine]

Burns at 78 pitches.

I'd trade a hit from contact-wizard Yoshida for a 15 pitch AB.

 

[brandonchristensen]

This lineup is rough.

 

[brandonchristensen]

If Bello got the strike that Casas just got - it would be 1-1 still.

Wow, two in a row.

Fuck this game.

 

[Sprowl]

Casas gets screwed over again on a low "strike".

 

[canyoubelieveit]

Shadows + Barnes + balls called strikes = impossible

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Casas needs to try to foul those pitches off.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Casas stuck out, and the team was extremely slow to retake the field.

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

Casas needs to try to foul those pitches off.

With a pitching wedge?

 

[patinorange]

Team takes a lot of called third strikes.

 

[Dewey's 'stache]

Robots, when? When will robots stop this relic

 

[Rovin Romine]

Casas stuck out, and the team was extremely slow to retake the field.

To make a point?

 

[LynnRice75]

Casas stuck out, and the team was extremely slow to retake the field.

I'm hoping Papi was giving them a pep talk in the dugout.

or maybe the marching band refused to yield.

 

[fenwaypaul]

Casas stuck out, and the team was extremely slow to retake the field.

Those last two pitches weren’t strikes.

 

[Rasputin]

I think Kevin Millar has been eating Bill Lee's cornflakes.

 

[canyoubelieveit]

No need to give Joely the same strike zone, I guess

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Fucking ump. Strike when they throw it.

 

[Al Zarilla]

I'm hoping Papi was giving them a pep talk in the dugout.

And Pedroia didn’t understand a word he said. But it fired everybody up.

 

[Dewey's 'stache]

Ffs Joely just put a pitch where Casas had 2 called strikes, called a ball.

 

[Rovin Romine]

Nice outing by Joely - 14 pitches, 3 outs.

 

[The Gray Eagle]

I'm hoping Papi was giving them a pep talk in the dugout.

or maybe the marching band refused to yield.

It's not apple sox, it's not barbecue sox, it's the RED SOX! Let's go!

 

[LogansDad]

Cora replacing the LHP before the PH was announced is an interesting tactic.

 

[Rovin Romine]

Seriously - have we had any game thread photo-mojo yet?

What were the key mojo images in 2004? (Were we even doing that back then?)

 

[canyoubelieveit]

???

 

[Harry Hooper]

Great camera work, NESN, yikes.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Amazing baseball guys.

 

[DadOfFenway]

Huh?

 

[Darnell's Son]

Nice throw

 

[strek1]

Way to pay attention guys.

 

[chrisfont9]

I guess my admiration of the Ump's game calling was premature.

 

[DadOfFenway]

FYI - Baltimore can play ball.

 

[LogansDad]

FUN-da-MENTALS

 

[canyoubelieveit]

How will this run come in? Balk, wild pitch, or infield hit?

Edit: or that

 

[Al Zarilla]

I hate this game.

 

[patinorange]

Embarrassing

 

[canyoubelieveit]

One of these teams seems better than the other.

 

[Darnell's Son]

There's always next year.

 

[Red(s)HawksFan]

Way to pay attention guys.

Considering the defensive positioning, hard to blame the guys on the field for that steal. Why they have Devers so far off the bag with a speedy runner on second is the question.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Teams can score with two outs? Mind blown.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Merloni seems to have completely forgotten the defensive slop we've seen since the first 5 games of the season.

 

[Darnell's Son]

Teams can score with two outs? Mind blown.

Not every team.
