- Start date
This is true, but if Saturday, they use Sale and Martin and Jansen, means likely the game is going well.
Countdown to the reply with well placed strikethroughs.
Edit: beaten to the punch before I could start the countdown.
Rough first game. Mostly annoying just because it featured Ort and Brasier both doing what they do best/worst. Really pleased with what we're seeing out of Yoshida. Oh well, we'll have a day off to stew and then back at it for the weekend. Knew this was going to be a rough patch to start the season, but I'll be counting the days until some of the dreck of our pitching staff gets pushed off the roster with returning upgrades.
I disagree with Youk on this one. The batter knows his responsibility, the pitcher's responsibility is to pitch it by the time the clock goes to zero, not be ready at 8 seconds.
Shut the fuck up Youk. Devers fucked up. End of. Doesn't matter if the pitcher or catcher is ready, jesus christ.
It's not that hard, Youk. Get in the fucking box quickly. That's literally all you have to do as a hitter.
I was at Opening Day 2002 when he went only 3+ and gave up 8 earned. It was really cold and we left Fenway in shock.
Devers did look at him before 8 seconds though. He looked up on time, saw that the pitcher wasn't even on the mound, and looked back down again. He was ready when he needed to be, and any rule that penalizes that is stupid.
OK, this is why we should have some hope for the season. The lineup is much longer - put Story in there for the second half and it gets very long.
Who cares? Devers knows what the rule is.
(And how much does that bone-headed out hurt now?)
The offense is doing its job. I kind of wish Cora hadn't let Brasier piss away a bunch of runs with an off day tomorrow.
