3/30 - The Road Trip: Game 3

[absintheofmalaise]

Another late night game for those of us on the East Coast, but we'll muddle through somehow. Because we are resilient!
First pitch at 9:40PM
Logan Gilbert vs Kutter Crawford
The city best known for throwing a dead fish against the city best known for being the birthplace of America.

 

[Ale Xander]

Logan sounds like an embedded Bostonian

Almost Brahminesque but too close to Revere, to revere.

It would be most apt to choke his surrounding basepaths with traffic.

 

[JOBU]

Let’s kick em in the dick

 

[Carbo Loading]

Win it for me, I’ll be there on the third base side tonight at my first Sox game in 4 or 5 years.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

This being another night game is offensive.

 

[Harry Hooper]

According to this Boston.com story, Devers may be in the lineup today. The article has optimistic quotes from Devers and Cora, so good news there. Still, Devers' comments are a bit eyebrow-raising:

While the Red Sox were optimistic that it’s a very short-term injury for Devers, it has been a lingering issue for the third baseman. Devers shared that he’s been dealing with shoulder soreness since spring training, saying “the pain wasn’t that big” at first but felt he had to his pause on Friday.

“It started in Fort Myers,” Devers said. “I think it was getting worse and worse and yesterday I felt it a little bit. And today at batting practice I felt it a little bit more. And I wanted just to be smart and I stopped.

“I was able to handle it and play with it,” Devers added. “But playing with that pain, it was getting worse and worse and worse until the point that I decided to stop.”

Honestly starting the season on a 10 game west coast trip is grotesque in general, even if the games were being played at reasonable EST starts. That they are also not just further turns the screw.

 

[Red(s)HawksFan]

Last night being a 9:40 EDT start was understandable. It's a Friday. Typically Friday games are at night. There's no excuse for night games on a fucking Saturday.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

No Raffy. No BobbyD!!!

 

[simplicio]

A day late but I'll take it. Hope Abreu can can hit.

 

[circus catch]

I question having Abreu hitting behind Casas. I would probably rather have Rafaela, or Valdez.

No Tyler O'Neill (two upside down exclamation points)

Shit. I didn't notice that.

 

[CR67dream]

Shit. I didn't notice that.

At least Bobby won't be the first righty off the bench. So we got that going for us.

 

[circus catch]

I assume Abreu is in for TON just because he hasn't played yet, but yeah, I'd rather see O'Neil.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

I really don’t like Story that high against a RH, but I guess given the rest of the lineup there aren’t any great options.

get well soon, Raffy.

 

[Carbo Loading]

Greetings from Seattle. They are closing the roof tonight

 

[circus catch]

Anyone know the difference of how the park plays when the roof is closed and when it is open?

I heard it was generally about 4 degrees fahrenheit.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Is the NESN feed available for others on MLB TV yet? Seattle’s is but the NESN one not up yet, wonder why

 

[mikeford]

No Devers again feels ominous.

actual NESN is presently showing the end of the Bruins game so that could be the issue.

 

[Moviegoer]

At least Bobby won't be the first righty off the bench. So we got that going for us.

I have learned to never assume Cora will do the sensible thing in a game.

 

[Carbo Loading]

Why are the names so small on the unis?

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Ah, that explains it. Thanks.

not sure I’m going to make it to the first pitch anyways….fading fast tonight.

three 10p starts to begin the season is cruel.

Just came on for me.

 

[The Filthy One]

Let’s win today and get Devers back tomorrow. That’s all.

First three Mariners SPs are pretty cruel too, although we got to Castillo.

 

[Max Power]

Duran links his index and pinky fingers on the bat. I've never noticed anyone doing that before. He's total opposite of Ty Cobb.

 

[LogansDad]

Bryce Miller, who I think should be starting tomorrow, could be a top of the rotation guy for about half the teams in the league, too, I think. Just a mean trip to start the season for this offense.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Good AB for Yoshi

Golf grip

 

[brandonchristensen]

Stung it, but right at him.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Crawford is so smooth.

 

[LogansDad]

Oh, great. Back to this shit. I thought we practiced this spring.

 

[BornToRun]

Well this is off to a great start

 

[FlexFlexerson]

I... do not like this.

 

[derekson]

This game already has a 2023 feel.

 

[mauidano]

Crawford is so smooth.

Reyes is not.

 

[Rovin Romine]

Oof, Pablo.

 

[pokey_reese]

So, they know our third baseman isn't playing, eh?

 

[brandonchristensen]

Jesus H what a play

 

[LogansDad]

OH MY GOD WHAT A PLAY BY STORY

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Just came on for me.

thx!

 

[LesterFan]

What a play

 

[BornToRun]

Wow what a play

 

[pokey_reese]

Damn, Story is smooth!

 

[Rovin Romine]

LOL - Story tells Pablo to take some notes.
