Agreed. This could have been a real disaster from the jump, but he did a good job of battling.Give some credit to Pivetta. Hideous first inning but he buckled down and gave the offense a chance to fight back against a lineup that isn’t exactly punchless. Couldn’t get through the 5th but there was some fluky stuff going on there.
My first two games at Fenway were against the Angels. The first in 1986 when a ninth-inning comeback started a long winning streak that led to the division crown.This post could’ve come from 2004. Or 2007. Or 2008. Even 1986 if you wanna go back that far. We’ll ignore 2009.
A clear much-needed early “win” for Chaim.One of the few bright spots so far, Jansen has been outstanding.
Oh oh oh oh, now we’re back in the fight, we’re back on the train, we’re back in the Chang game!Need a ruling. Is this the catcher’s interference game, or the Chang Game?
Business as usual.Nice win! I take it the game thread was calm and level headed throughout?
This team is absolutely brutal.
Oof.
Fuck this, I’m out.
You knew he wasn't going to repeat that Tampa performance but come on!
Ahhahahahahaha
That was some patheitc shit, Nick
Thanks Nick. So frustrating.
As usual, playing form behind in the first.
I am full of doubting this thing you has said.Baseball players do a lot to destroy the efforts of English teachers.
Your last name is Thaiss?All I can say is reading this thread while sharing the same last name as the player of the game was an interesting feeling.
I started wondering if it was because of how the home plate ump was setting up.Every time I see catcher’s interference I wonder why it doesn’t happen more often. From the side it looks like the catcher’s glove is right there to be hit every time.
