8/22/2023 Against the Astros of Houston

[JohnnyTheBone]

ALIVE!

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

If nothing else, he can tell his grandkids he hit a double off Justin Verlander for his first hit.

Unfortunately that would be a lie. Kendall Graveman is in now.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

If nothing else, he can tell his grandkids he hit a double off Justin Verlander for his first hit.

But he'd be lying

 

[Ale Xander]

If nothing else, he can tell his grandkids he hit a double off Justin Verlander for his first hit.

That would be a grave error

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Ha. I thought Verlander was still in. My bad. He can still tell his grandkids that though.

 

[mauidano]

Robots now.

 

[shawnrbu]

Wauw.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

That was too close to take.

 

[Blizzard of 1978]

Bad umpiring.

 

[semsox]

Been really getting boned by the umps lately

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

It was a perfect pitch

 

[Bleedred]

How can MLB have product that consistently is wrong calling balls and strikes? It's endemic around baseball. Just saying it's the human element is absurd.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

The once-great Masa Yoshida is struggling his ass off.

 

[shawnrbu]

Amica had it as a strike.

 

[DadOfFenway]

Close. Too close to take.

 

[JOBU]

Fuck this ump

 

[Ale Xander]

Masalump

 

[strek1]

That was too close to take.

I long for the day when there are robots and we don't have to say that anymore. It will either be a strike or not.

 

[Bergs]

FUCK YOU BLUE

Can't wait for the robot umpires.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Too many winnable games thrown away on a bad RISP average this season

 

[wiffleballhero]

Bad call, up and away. Ump wants to get to dinner. Bum.

 

[patinorange]

Can't take that pitch 3-2

 

[Bergs]

It was a perfect pitch

That was outside the strike zone.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

I long for the day when there are robots and we don't have to say that anymore. It will either be a strike or not.

I'm hoping this is the last season of this.

 

[JCizzle]

Bad call, up and away. Ump wants to get to dinner. Bum.

DOB told me he's the best in the world about a million times tonight.

 

[LogansDad]

That's enough for me tonight. Hope I regret it in the morning.

 

[YTF]

Bad call, up and away. Ump wants to get to dinner. Bum.

Well, looks like 1930s baseball fan is in the house.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Watching Woo Sox games, the strike/ball challenges are so quick and easy. Five seconds and that’s it. It should have been put in years ago.

 

[shawnrbu]

Cora is a clown.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Fully a trying to light spark in team ejection - Hoberg has been mostly right.

 

[Blizzard of 1978]

Awesome Alex Cora.

 

[JOBU]

Good good. Late the hate flow through you.

 

[shawnrbu]

The Turner pitch was a strike. The Bregman pitch was a ball. Ump got it right.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Maybe just hitting a wall, but Yoshida has been terrible in the second half.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Fully a trying to light spark in team ejection - Hoberg has been mostly right.

Yep

 

[patinorange]

The Turner pitch was a strike. The Bregman pitch was a ball. Ump got it right.

Pretty much.

 

[soxhop411]

Robots now.

 

[Blizzard of 1978]

Cora is a clown.

I think him and Dugie won't be back next year. Something is going on behind the scenes we don't know about. That Underdog shirt Cora wore at Yankees Stadium might have been a hint.

 

[Obscure Name]

Clowns.

 

[shawnrbu]

Nice throw.

 

[patinorange]

Like the rest of us, Cora doesn't want to see Llovera pitch.
Or field.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Maybe just hitting a wall, but Yoshida has been terrible in the second half.

What are NPB seasons like? Feels like he's gotten tired multiple times this season.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

In down times for the team, I’m just going to remind myself of the great advice that one of the great 1980s Canadian philosophers, Corey Hart, gave us: “Don’t switch the blade on a guy in shades. Oh no.”

I don’t know exactly how it fits here. But it is good advice, and it is making me feel a little better.

It was a strike. That white box isn’t accurate.

Exactly. Good point.

 

[mauidano]

 

[JOBU]

Aiiight. Imma head out

 

[strek1]

The Turner pitch was a strike. The Bregman pitch was a ball. Ump got it right.

Gameday looked like a ball , but hardly something you can beat up the Ump for, unlike that clown in NY the other day.

 

[Doc Zero]

LOL
