Game 92: 7/11-A's at Sox

[absintheofmalaise]

Looks like this one's pretty well in hand

Things that should not be mentioned.

 

[joe dokes]

Youk is pretty funny and spot on talking about pissed off hitters.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Crazy box score. The Sox have 9 hits, all by 4 players.

 

[joe dokes]

Crazy box score. The Sox have 9 hits, all by 4 players.

And tuesday everyone in the lineup had at least a hit and a run scored.

 

[nvalvo]

These A's have a few relievers I wouldn't mind trading for.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Wong back to precipitous decline. Sigh

 

[pokey_reese]

Day three of predicting big things from Masa.

You win

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Masa Day

 

[brandonchristensen]

If Yoshida is good for the second half, the Sox are going to give the AL East some trouble.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Yoshida hitting again makes this line up very deep.

 

[derekson]

Yoshida hitting again makes this line up very deep.

We just need Casas back to replace Smith and we might really do damage.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Wong back to precipitous decline. Sigh

He just fell off a cliff. Good thing McGuire is on the roster.

2-3 with an 800 mile HR. Thats some good precipitation.

 

[Beomoose]

Cutter drinking canned water but looks like he's been hammering brewskis.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

2-3 with an 800 mile HR.?

Its sarc. There were a few posts on the main board recently saying this is all a mirage. They may be right but the outcomes line up with the ability I see.

 

[Don Buddin's GS]

Youk earned the reputation of an all-time "Red Ass."

 

[budcrew08]

Trying to get Anderson a save tonight!

 

[derekson]

At the risk of cursing it, I think we have another member of the 1 save club

 

[Beomoose]

I like him a lot, but I really would not extend him.

Id go another year. He's pressing and needs to be tinkered with a little, but when he's on he's a hell of a weapon.

 

[nvalvo]

I don't! He already has two!

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Out per dodgeball rules.

 

[derekson]

I don't! He already has two!

Oh, wow. This team might be getting more 3 inning saves than any I can remember.

 

[Rovin Romine]

He just fell off a cliff. Good thing McGuire is on the roster.

Is McGuire a starting catcher?

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

More like McCant.

Water!

 

[LeoCarrillo]

Series win water. Bring on KC

 

[patinorange]

Good work Mr. Anderson. Water!

 

[budcrew08]

Shutout water! Big series against the Royals to finish the first half.

 

[moonshotmanny]

Tanner Series Water!!

 

[derekson]

Dirty shutout water!

 

[RS2004foreever]

Only 5 and a half back of Baltimore

 

[AMS25]

Houck water!

 

[joe dokes]

Shots.
Chaser.

 

[LogansDad]

That was quietly a really important win.

Huge series starting tomorrow.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Is McGuire a starting catcher?

No. That's why I wasn't serious.

 

[Sprowl]

Placid, stress-free dirty water.

 

[Beomoose]

Dirty shutout water, with series win flavor!

 

[absintheofmalaise]

TB - Spawn score holds only 3.5 back.

 

[nvalvo]

Id go another year. He's pressing and needs to be tinkered with a little, but when he's on he's a hell of a weapon.

Oh, if one year were an option—like, if he accepted a QO—I'd be happy with that. He fills a need.

But he has an .871 OPS and RH power is rare, and he's mostly been on the field. He will probably get a 3 or 4 year deal, maybe even 5, and I worry that whoever wins that auction will regret it.

 

[JCizzle]

Did they just cut the Masa interview before he could answer? Haha.

 

[SoxFanInPdx]

Masa says "Suck it haters" in the interview. Must be why they cut it off.

 

[patinorange]

TB - Spawn score holds only 3.5 back.

Fairbanks is trying to cough it up.

 

[simplicio]

Masa says "Suck it haters" in the interview. Must be why they cut it off.

Your translation's off, he clearly said "fuck 'em"

 

[The Gray Eagle]

Radio had a postgame interview with Chase Anderson. He seems like a great guy who is funny and grateful to be part of this team.
They pointed out he has won the Good Guy award with 2 different other teams and he seems to be a popular figure and a leader in the bullpen. So I'm rooting for him to keep doing his thankless job well.

In the loss column, Sox are 2 games back of the MFY, and 5 games back of the Orioles.

3 3-inning saves this year.

From April 2023

And from a few years ago:

[Rovin Romine]

No. That's why I wasn't serious.

Damn. That leaves us with no starting catchers at all.

And with the need to trade Teel because we have no starting pitching and must must buy at the deadline. . .I don't know what we're gonna do.

 

[JOBU]

That Abreu hit was the very definition of "going down and getting it."

Looks like this one's pretty well in hand

Prom night.

Leo Durocher is glad it’s not the Nice Guy award

Good Guys finish last (three innings of blowouts).
