8/22/2023 Against the Astros of Houston

[donutogre]

I am fairly shocked they got out of that without more damage. But yeah, it's going to be a long night for the bullpen.

 

[Ale Xander]

Do they win again in August?

 

[InsideTheParker]

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

Do you speak Spanish?

 

[JCizzle]

yes

His plate discipline and fielding certainly are starting to make me nervous for a couple years down the road, but yeah you just need to hope and pray he comes to spring training in shape and focused next year to play third.

 

[E5 Yaz]

The TBS broadcast showing Devers lost in his thoughts during the mound visit was not inspiring

 

[Bergs]

Pretty sure this Verlander kid will spit the bit what with the pressure of an early lead.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Clem is actually excellent in the booth. I get why he's hated, but the dude knows his baseball and is great on the mic.

100%

 

[Looch]

Need Orsillo’s time on the bench clock for Verlander to feel optimistic about this inning.

 

[Doc Zero]

Do you speak Spanish?

WHAT?

Sorry, caps lock.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Cora is getting fat. I hate to see that, for health reasons.

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

I see that Verlander had that bald spot patched up

 

[natpastime162]

I wish it would have been put in a few years so ago so we could call that pitchcom rule the “Gary Sanchez rule”

 

[Beomoose]

Verlander talks his way out of a violation.

 

[InsideTheParker]

WHAT?

Sorry, caps lock.

The TCM movie is in Spanish.

 

[Doc Zero]

The TCM movie is in Spanish.

Ahh. Well, I’ll do my best.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

So what happens when a pitcher gets called for a clock violation in a big moment and uses the “PitchCom is out” excuse?

 

[Ale Xander]

Clem is actually excellent in the booth. I get why he's hated, but the dude knows his baseball and is great on the mic.

Totally

 

[absintheofmalaise]

And it's for charity.

 

[patinorange]

Siddown kid.

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

Good eye.

 

[Bergs]

Wong about to K on 3 pitches.

My bad. He was able to punch one weakly into play.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

I hate first pitch swings after a walk.

 

[InsideTheParker]

I like Wong, but I don't think that he should be first-pitch swinging in that situation.

 

[natpastime162]

Kevin Millar has 4 tickets to the game? Do all teams give out the many tickets? Seems very generous

 

[donutogre]

I like Wong, but I don't think that he should be first-pitch swinging in that situation.

Nope, that was about the worst outcome you could ask for there.

 

[Ale Xander]

The Black Bear is not cooperating

 

[patinorange]

There must be a team philosophy, if the guy in front of you walks on 4 pitches, swing at the first pitch.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

There must be a team philosophy, if the guy in front of you walks on 4 pitches, swing at the first pitch.

Infuriating.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Is there any way short of murder to make Millar talk less?

 

[JCizzle]

Yeah, I get that money doesn't answer everything, Kevin, but you'd hope he's the heart of the team with that kind of commitment.

 

[Blizzard of 1978]

Oh crap
We got 4?

Yep 4 game series. Bello pitching a day game Thursday against the Astros.

 

[Ale Xander]

That was smoked

By one of the worst hitters in MLB

 

[Ale Xander]

Thanks you Jose

 

[InsideTheParker]

Bello pitching a day game

Not a phrase I was hoping to read.

 

[ngruz25]

D-FENCE

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Thanks you Jose

Luis?

 

[Ale Xander]

Uuuuuuuuurias

 

[Ale Xander]

Luis?

Altuve for the GIDP

 

[Reverse Curve]

Kind of digging the Urias era so far.

 

[Bergs]

Does Devers have no-trade protection?

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

In the middle of a playoff race, you really can't not play Devers against righties I guess, but he really needs some time off just to kind of get right.

 

[mauidano]

Clemens in the NESN booth. Really do love him.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Mrs. Yawkey talking to Clemens about the Jimmy Fund as a rookie is a nice story.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

I'd take Rogah deep.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

I'd take Rogah deep.

Prom night?

 

[DeadlySplitter]

What is going on, swinging right through just 95-96mph

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

At least Raffi's strike three swing was at an actual strike. Progress.

 

[patinorange]

Our left handed hitters can't catch up to the old man's fastball.

 

[mauidano]

His foundation does incredible things for The Jimmy Fund. Can you imagine standing in the box against him in Fenway? Worth every damn dollar.
