September 22, 2020 Red Sox v. Orioles

[Bergs]

Even Arouz couldn't get himself thrown out on that one.

 

[joe dokes]

My guess is well be reading about walden having surgery before too long. He's gone from ok to zero. 300 yrs in the minors, probably tried to suck it up.

 

[Ale Xander]

CV didn't get the memo

 

[thehitcat]

Ah well Rocker was a dream gone like the summertime. Let's win out!!

Thanks. I was going to mention this, but wasn't in the mood to search for a link. I'm glad you did. Chavis gets a bad rap for PEDS, but not for his stone glove in the outfield. That's totally deserved.

Looking again, the sentence I wrote was a little convoluted.

But for people who couldn't read the article, basically, 20 something ballplayers tested positive over the last few years for this outlandishly obsolete PED. They all denied it. The tests hinged on a single metabolite, and it's really unclear where they would have gotten it or why they all would have chosen an easily-detectable drug.

The union is asking for the league to adjust the drug testing policy to set an allowable threshold for the drug.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

just what this slog needs, a pitching injury

 

[joe dokes]

So not only did vaughn eshelman die way too young, he's not even the only eshelman in the baseball encyclopedia any more.

 

[scotian1]

My Lord, Devers is having a dreadful game!

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Dalbec, Chavis and Thad Ward for Nolan Arenado, Devers to 1st

no but seriously, explore getting Arenado for cheap. He's fed up with Colorado FO/ownership, I would hope he'd be happy in a big market

I don't think that gets it done.

 

[Earthbound64]

Good to see us beating up on the Oreos.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

of course it doesn't, hence the "but seriously".

JDM in the package? The other issue is Arenado's non-Coors numbers are mediocre. but at least the 3B defense would go up!

 

[Bergs]

NONE of these fuckers read the memo!

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Tapia is pure filth. I love this guy!

 

[Coachster]

Good god, it's only the 8th. Some of the cardboard fans are leaving.

 

[AMS25]

Maybe there is no memo. Maybe some of these guys are playing their hearts out so they can be in The Show next year.

 

[joe dokes]

In what can only be described as torture, they're not allowed to leave.

(I walked by fenway last week and you could see them on the monster from across the Pike.)

You must be a blast at parties.

 

[Bergs]

Tapia is pure filth. I love this guy!

Seriously...good grief.

 

[Coachster]

Tapia is pure filth. I love this guy!

He seems to be a hell of a lot better than those 87 MPH guys who were coming out of the pen in August like Kyle Hart and Mike Hall.

 

[mauidano]

Just Deceptive Martinez

 

[Bergs]

Just Deceptive Martinez

heh

 

[Bergs]

As this totally fucked season in a totally fucked year nears its end, I would like to point out that Eck and Remy were an absolute fucking treat all season long. I've actually enjoyed baseball quite a bit.

 

[oumbi]

Tapia.
Perez.
Houk.
Pivetta.

They may all be on the team next year.

 

[AMS25]

Fortunately for my fellow human beings, I have not gone to a party in many, many months.

Yes. I am not a Remy fan in the absence of Eck, but the three-man booth is pretty great.

 

[Bergs]

Yeah, but you've been saying the same thing for years, AMIRITE?

 

[AMS25]

Yeah, but you've been saying the same thing for years, AMIRITE?

Pretty much. Having twins with autism means that you don't go to many parties.

 

[Coachster]

Nice of us to bring a batting practice pitcher in for the 9th.

 

[Bergs]

Pretty much. Having twins with autism means that you don't go to many parties.

This really all comes back to you being no fun at parties. [/kidding]


edit: I was gonna go with "Tell me about it - try it with triplets!", but I'm way too classy for that kind of thing.

 

[mauidano]

He speaks 7 languages, but can't read memos in any of them.

So does the First Lady allegedly.

It was a Moe Berg reference.

"Yeah, I know, and he can't hit in any of them."
— Dave Harris, Senators' outfielder, when told that Berg spoke seven languages

I think being in the studio really added to their comfort level. But yes, Eck and Remy need to go on tour with this. I'd pay top dollar.

What an incredible life lived! A brilliant American hero.

 

[Bergs]

Indeed.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

If anyone can blow this, it's Bad News Barnes.

 

[patinorange]

Barnes. Holy shit.

 

[Ale Xander]

Grand Salami coming up amirite

 

[boxosII]

most likely Covey will go his way and The Sox will go theirs

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Matt ".667 Save Percentage" Barnes. Despite what Meat Loaf told us, two out of three IS bad.

 

[Ale Xander]

The Rangers are in it to win it, three errors, two hits and losing 7-0
