5/5/2023 Boston @ Philadelphia

[Madmartigan]

Masa’s gonna win the batting title

 

[BornToRun]

Good baserunning and nice work putting the bat on the ball

 

[InsideTheParker]

Yeah, I thought like Youk that the guy could have got Tapia at home.

 

[BornToRun]

God I love Raffy

 

[BornToRun]

Oh don’t tell me he did that intentionally

 

[InsideTheParker]

Oh, shucks, now Sale has to hit Harper in the butt. (edit: just kidding)

 

[staz]

Philly gonna Philly

 

[strek1]

Wheeler was afraid to give him a pitch

 

[Beomoose]

Wheeler had to hit him because Raffy was going to hit the next one out of the state

 

[JOBU]

Oh don’t tell me he did that intentionally

Seems like it would be a weird thing to do in that moment, but what do I know

 

[BornToRun]

Oh, shucks, now Sale has to hit Harper in the butt.

If he does you’ll know if we thought that was on purpose.

 

[Back Bay]

Oh don’t tell me he did that intentionally

What's the history between them?

 

[staz]

Timely hitting, check.

 

[strek1]

2 out RBI's are sweet

 

[JOBU]

Kikè. This team has become relentless. The Relentless Red Sox

 

[BornToRun]

What's the history between them?

There is none but the previous pitch that Raffy fouled off, he pointed out at Wheeler and started nodding like “I see what you’re doing” or something to that effect and he takes one in the ass on the next pitch. Not saying I think it’s on purpose, just interesting timing and that’s where’d you’d put it if you were doing it intentionally.

 

[Beomoose]

Two balls to Casas and he's in the hole 0-2

 

[strek1]

Give those calls to Sale Ump

 

[E5 Yaz]

Definite 2013 vibes around this team

 

[Beomoose]

Sosa leaned into that shit

 

[budcrew08]

That’s not intentional on 2-2

 

[BornToRun]

Definite 2013 vibes around this team

We even got the on air f bombs.

 

[LogansDad]

He fucking leaned into that, and now we're getting warnings? WTF

 

[JOBU]

Can we get Nip to hold a bake sale to fix this server bullshit?

 

[BornToRun]

Wong having some trouble tonight

 

[JOBU]

He fucking leaned into that, and now we're getting warnings? WTF

I don’t think it was a warning. Just emphatic point to first base

 

[LogansDad]

I don’t think it was a warning. Just emphatic point to first base

Oh, O'Brien said there were warnings to the benches. That's what I get for listening to him.

 

[JOBU]

Oh, O'Brien said there were warnings to the benches. That's what I get for listening to him.

Did he? I may have misheard

 

[derekson]

Sale back to 97 MPH to get Scharbs

 

[BornToRun]

Did he? I may have misheard

He did but then corrected himself

 

[simplicio]

Can we get Nip to hold a bake sale to fix this server bullshit?

Bullshit? I thought it was our Moment of Zen.

 

[patinorange]

Oh man. He looks awesome.

 

[Bergs]

Jesus. Sale is BEASTING.

 

[Harry Hooper]

What a great pitch for the inning-ending K.

 

[staz]

Mowing Pricks DOWN

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

This is FUN

 

[glennhoffmania]

I never would've recognized Kruk. I was shocked that was him.

 

[LogansDad]

Oh. Oh my.

 

[strek1]

Haven't seen this velocity in years

 

[JOBU]

Oh man. He looks awesome.

Some might even say he looks dominant @JohnnyTheBone

 

[SeoulSoxFan]

Oh man, getting Sale back in this form will make the summer a whole of fun.

 

[BornToRun]

That 2-1 was in fucking delaware

 

[LogansDad]

Haven't seen this velocity in years

Feels like early 2018.

And this home plate ump sucks ass.

 

[TFisNEXT]

It’s hard to overstate how much it would mean to this team if Chris Sale can find his command again. His stuff looks likes it’s close to pre-injury Sale, but it’s the command that has been lacking.

 

[Salem's Lot]

If Sale is even 80% back to what he was pre injury, that’s a game changer.

 

[rodderick]

Shit luck that inning.

 

[Salem's Lot]

Shit luck that inning.

Smoked right at defenders.

 

[simplicio]

It’s hard to overstate how much it would mean to this team if Chris Sale can find his command again. His stuff looks likes it’s close to pre-injury Sale, but it’s the command that has been lacking.

Yeah, there's a ton of black on the FB tonight, amazing to see after his no-K performance.

 

[Beomoose]

Well there an E

 

[LogansDad]

Smoked right at defenders.

And then that happens. Sometimes I hate baseball.
