8/22/2023 Against the Astros of Houston

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Fuck devers. Fucking embarrassment

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Raffy does not.

Oof.

 

[shawnrbu]

Devers LOL

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Seriously?

 

[InsideTheParker]

So much for the infield he did before the game. Sigh.

 

[Bergs]

Devers is a fucking disaster.

 

[Ale Xander]

The defense is offensive

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Fair enough, don’t count on it though.

Prescient

 

[patinorange]

Still no words.

 

[ngruz25]

I think Devers has the yips right now. Nothing hit his way looks normal. The wheels are churning in his head and the results are brutal.

 

[JCizzle]

Oh geeze.

 

[JOBU]

Jesus Christ. Is Raffy checked out?

 

[Blizzard of 1978]

Wow Devers giving the Astros extra out.
I can't remember a worst defensive third baseman.

 

[osori]

First red sox game I watch in real time (I usually just follow the condensed games) this season and ouch...

 

[Bergs]

He is horrible at transferring the ball from his glove to his hand. It is the root cause of every bad throw he makes.

 

[Ale Xander]

Maybe Youk can tutor him or something?

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

This park is such a band box.

That ball ended up halfway to New Orleans.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

We might get 2-1/3 out of Houck tonight.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

We might get 2-1/3 out of Houck tonight.

optimist

 

[Ale Xander]

I be happy with a split.

Oh crap
We got 4?

 

[absintheofmalaise]

This park is such a band box.

But is it lyric?

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Wow Devers giving the Astros extra out.
I can't remember a worst defensive third baseman.

Too young for Clell Hobson?

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

This will be tough, mathematically at least

2/4, no?

 

[soxin6]

So 2 innings for Houck tonight at this rate

 

[donutogre]

Looking forward to seeing the bullpen for 5-6 innings tonight...

 

[ngruz25]

Singleton has a fascinating B-Ref page. Dude has a sub .200 BA across nearly a decade of major league time.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Someone tell Houck this guy stinks as a hitter. Should be out # 3 any moment now.

 

[shawnrbu]

Wow Devers giving the Astros extra out.

Butch Hobson?

 

[donutogre]

Oh even better, Clemens is going to be in the booth tonight!

 

[Ale Xander]

Oh even better, Clemens is going to be in the booth tonight!

NESN or TBS?

 

[patinorange]

This is fun.

 

[InsideTheParker]

I can't believe he walked a .111 hitter.

 

[dhappy42]

It’s already ugly.

 

[Ale Xander]

Wtf

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Walking that fuck? This team is hilarious how stupid they are

 

[shawnrbu]

NESN or TBS?

NESN in the 3rd.

 

[Ale Xander]

NESN in the 3rd.

Thanks

 

[natpastime162]

I’ll ask since this is a game thread. Does Dever start 2024 as our starting 3B?

 

[patinorange]

Singleton has a fascinating B-Ref page. Dude has a sub .200 BA across nearly a decade of major league time.

Good reason to walk him.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Singleton has a fascinating B-Ref page. Dude has a sub .200 BA across nearly a decade of major league time.

Yet has made like $11m

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Maybe Youk can tutor him or something?

Maybe he can talk to him about what it’s like to be moved off 3B for much better defenders.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

I’ll ask since this is a game thread. Does Dever start 2024 as our starting 3B?

yes

 

[donutogre]

NESN or TBS?

NESN.

 

[ngruz25]

HOOBOY that was a fun last out.

 

[Beomoose]

I think Bush's death grip on that chickenwire is saying a lot.

 

[JOBU]

That was a meaty pitch Christ

 

[Doc Zero]

Oh even better, Clemens is going to be in the booth tonight!

Cool. I’ll be sure to tune into the other TCM when this happens.

 

[shawnrbu]

Good play by Devers.

 

[Bergs]

NESN or TBS?

HGH

 

[InsideTheParker]

On Devers D: is he occasionally running in front of the SS? Because that's not a good thing, if so.
