Down in hot 'Lanta to end this nightmare, part 1

[strek1]

And again.

That was insane

 

[Hee Sox Choi]

How are we supposed to get the 2nd pick with Albies swinging 3-0????

 

[Earthbound64]

Huge pitch.

 

[Earthbound64]

Well darn.

 

[Hee Sox Choi]

I just fist-pumped Ozuna's single. lol. I really want Leiter Jr. or Kumar Rocker!

 

[patinorange]

Good job. Good effort.

 

[oumbi]

If the Sox have to lose, I am glad brazier is the losing pitcher.

 

[Earthbound64]

I just fist-pumped Ozuna's single. lol. I really want Leiter Jr. or Kumar Rocker!

You'll get John Rocker Jr.

 

[rajendra82]

FUBAR for Kumar

 

[Hee Sox Choi]

I just listened to an MLB Pipeline podcast and they weren't certain Kumar would go 1.1.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Braiser and Devers to the rescue.

 

[patinorange]

Our future DH. Raffi.

 

[Earthbound64]

Daubach > Dalbec

 

[mauidano]

Wow, Raffy. Just wow.

Kevin Plawecki can sour mash.

Now there is the guy you want for a tank job.

 

[patinorange]

Wow. That's a strike.

 

[Earthbound64]

GS time for Devers

 

[Bergs]

Should PH for Raffi here.

 

[Hee Sox Choi]

Oh FFS

 

[Earthbound64]

Or throwing the ball into the stands works too.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

who wants to lose more: the game

 

[LogansDad]

This is worse than the NHL Draft lottery.

 

[catomatic]

Melancon owed us.

 

[rajendra82]

Barnes has got our draft pick secured.

 

[Earthbound64]

Darn.

 

[mauidano]

Walk off time baby!

 

[Earthbound64]

Bases loaded, 1 out, and can't score

 

[Earthbound64]

Walk off time baby!

Let's hope not, since we're the Away team.

 

[Bergs]

Let's hope not, since we're the Away team.

 

[Humphrey]

I really hope JBJ is back in '21. He drives me nuts sometimes, but I love the guy.

Their next center fielder, if there is a next one, is not in the organization now. A year or two ago, I would have said AB, but there's no way they can count on that guy presently. I think JBJ might be their best option.

 

[Earthbound64]

That was a joke?
Pretty poor quality.

 

[Apisith]

Why are we trying to win games, man. This is dumb.

 

[Bergs]

That was a joke?
Pretty poor quality.

It's been a running gag that we want to lose to get the best draft pick possible. Context is everything.

Edit: that said, Dino might have just fucked up. What do I know?

 

[Earthbound64]

Why are we trying to win games, man. This is dumb.

Because rooting for the Red Sox to win is enjoyable.

It's been a running gag that we want to lose to get the best draft pick possible. Context is everything.

I'm aware.
Which makes it a very poor-quality joke.

 

[rajendra82]

Just like ERod, Barnes apparently cleared to walk today.

 

[Back Bay]

Barnes is about to fly 500 foot out the park.

 

[Earthbound64]

Edit: that said, Dino might have just fucked up. What do I know?

Dino?
Calling Was (not Wasdin)

 

[oumbi]

That was a joke?
Pretty poor quality.

It was all right, actually.

 

[mauidano]

How one Raffy can’t boot one when we need home to?

 

[LogansDad]

Austin Riley is going to be a superstar.

 

[mauidano]

Riley got some skills.

 

[Bergs]

Dino?
Calling Was (not Wasdin)

What about me being drunk right now are you failing to get?

 

[Hee Sox Choi]

Are the Braves trying to lose???

 

[mauidano]

The Plawster! Eck has all the good nicknames.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

if we do win this game and the Tigers lose (behind by 1 with an inning to go), by winning percentage the Tigers jump in front in the draft order.

 

[Bergs]

Because rooting for the Red Sox to win is enjoyable.

Well I hope you're happy now, you humorless franchise-sabotage rooting bastard.

 

[oumbi]

Go Sox!!!! sigh....
