The National Pastime

[InsideTheParker]

And let's face it, it does help to pass the time.
But folks, as a favor to me, don't argue that the Sox should be trading everyone and then complain about the performance of those who are left. Yes, Barnes can be annoying, and as a general rule, Workman is less agitating to watch. But It is What It is. The team, I mean.

Here's to another few hours in which we can pretend that our dreams can true. Or something like that.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

When they win it does improve my mood incrementally. So, win.

 

[caminante11]

it is the mlb.tv free game of the day. Colton Brewer is on the mound and his ERA is 3.50. That is pretty good. And the Blue Jays pitcher is 'TBD'. When the Red Sox have started 'TBD' this year it has gone terribly. Hope the Red Sox can tee off on 'TBD'.

 

[caminante11]

We are at exactly the halfway point of the season. Here's to many more than ten wins in the second half!

 

[InsideTheParker]

Does everyone know that the game is scheduled for 6:37? (The extra two minutes is for singing two anthems? Which I assume are on tape?)

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Plenty of precipitation in the Buffalo forecast over the next 36 hours including heavy rain and thunderstorms starting at 6 p.m. tonight. Might be a challenge for #Bluejays and Red Sox to get in one, let alone two, at Sahlen Field.

Yes! I am not a fan of trading everyone, and prefer to enjoy watching whoever is donning a Red Sox uniform these days. The bullpen, though. OY!

Imagine if someone told you last year that a virus would cause rain outs for the Blue Jays at home in 2020.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

If there is a game, Julian Merryweather has been named the Jays starter.

I haven't seen Julian Merryweather since he was the second victiim of the killer in a Poirot mystery on PBS

 

[redsox11507]

Weei reporting no one on the field 40 mins before first pitch. Implication is that tonight's game being played is uncertain.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

I was about to come here and say will this be played? I imagine JBJ, who's been outspoken about these issues, would not want to.

Looks like game on per Pete Abe on twitter

 

[S. H. Frog]

When Brewer's curve misses high, it misses super high.

 

[S. H. Frog]

That was a _bomb_.

 

[patinorange]

A couple of bombs against Brewer. Big bombs.

 

[boxosII]

it's going to have to be another comeback to kee the ITP train a-rollin'

 

[Heating up in the bullpen]

I expect nothing from Pillar at the plate. I don’t understand how he’s OPSing over .700. Out-making machine.

 

[Rovin Romine]

I'm enjoying the highway signs and traffic in the background. Oddly less sterile looking than MLB parks.

 

[boxosII]

i can think of another Brewer I wish was sitting out tonight

 

[patinorange]

I'm enjoying the highway signs and traffic in the background. Oddly less sterile looking than MLB parks.

It looks like a fun place to see a ballgame. Kind of reminds me of the old Big A with the freeway in the background.
For the first time baseball sadness struck me last night. I was watching the Dodgers /Giants games from SF. That magnificent stadium with all those empty seats. This is the first year of my retirement and I definitely planned on heading up there for a few games this year, among other parks. I wonder when we be able to see a live game again.

[Back Bay]

The Jays are wearing pajamas.

 

[boxosII]

I saw the Pawtucket Red Sox play a couple of games at this park. Nice and spacious. And not far from the Anchor Bar.

not being able to go to games hurts.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

It’s not going to stop raining. The umps just want to get 5 innings in. Need to score quickly.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Bright Spot Moreland goes Oppo.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Molten Mitch Moreland makes matters much more manageable, mercilessly mashing mediocre man's misplaced meatball. Mercy!

 

[StupendousMan]

Molten Mitch Moreland murders mediocre man's meatball!

(Clearly not fast enough. I bow before the master)

 

[InsideTheParker]

Mitch!!!!!

 

[mauidano]

He needs to play everyday.

 

[mauidano]

You put some good effort into that one! Well done.

 

[ColdSoxPack]

Jerry's GPS is off. I have driven past this ballpark many times. The outfield faces south. Niagara Falls is north.

 

[S. H. Frog]

It's kind of pouring up in Buffalo.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Rafael "Olé" Devers

 

[E5 Yaz]

Jerry's GPS is off. I have driven past this ballpark many times. The outfield faces south. Niagara Falls is north.

What do you expect when you build a ballpark on the ocean?

 

[mauidano]

Take your time Rowdy.

 

[JCizzle]

That went a long way

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

The Rowdiest Man In The Business straight-up owns the Red Sox. John Henry will have to sue to get them back.

 

[mauidano]

FFS.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

in the past couple of seasons there's been some pathetic pitching to scrubs. Rowdy Tellez is at the top 3 of this list.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Brewer is "harshing my vibe" as some people used to say.

 

[StupendousMan]

Jerry's GPS is off. I have driven past this ballpark many times. The outfield faces south. Niagara Falls is north.

As the picture below shows (North up, East to right)

 

[Rovin Romine]

Mmm.

 

[patinorange]

Pretty much the identical pitch he killed in his previous at bat.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Colt-48's mower is broken.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

853 ft of homeruns for Tellez.

 

[StupendousMan]

Rampaging Rowdy repeatedly raps rain-resisting rawhide rainbows.

 

[S. H. Frog]

They're going to keep playing? It seems pretty wet.

 

[Rovin Romine]

What is "Pinty's"?

 

[InsideTheParker]

It amazes me how much better Weber is as a reliever than a starter.
