10/9: Cole vs Glasnow

[jon abbey]

Vorp maybe knows better but that is my guess.

 

[VORP Speed]

Bringing in Anderson for top of lineup for maximum effect

 

[jose melendez]

Anderson is like a stick figure.

 

[cromulence]

Ugh.

 

[jose melendez]

Efficient!

 

[ThePrideofShiner]

Unreal.

 

[VORP Speed]

Glasnow got one time thru order. Anderson comes in for top and will get 5 outs if all goes well. Then Snell.

 

[jon abbey]

Ugh.

 

[jose melendez]

I've watched so little basaeball this year with both the Sox and my wife's Nats being terrible. It's like I have no idea who anyone is.

 

[jon abbey]

Top of the order against Cole again.

 

[jon abbey]

It's like I have no idea who anyone is.

This happens even for the biggest fans of TB, to be fair. The two guys currently cosplaying Ruth and Gehrig in the middle of their lineup are a rookie OF they stole from the Cards last year (Randy Arozarena) and journeyman 1B Ji-Man Choi, who somehow owns Gerrit Cole and can't hit anyone else.

These are Jon's Keys to the Game (TM).

 

[cromulence]

I love Gio.

 

[jon abbey]

Gio!

 

[Couperin47]

ugly catch, zero style points

 

[jon abbey]

Throw strikes to Lowe, please.

 

[cromulence]

100. Lowe can't handle the high heat.

I got those to figured out.

The guy who's name rhymes with Macarana and the fat Korean dude my wife thought was a former government employee until she found out he's Korean.

 

[cromulence]

Gross. 100 off the corner. Thanks for the bad calls, we're due.

 

[Couperin47]

Cole has settled in, now just avoid the errant fb homer pitch

 

[jon abbey]

All the other pitches are nasty, I get why you want to throw 100 all the time if you can but mixing it up better makes him even more dangerous.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Cole looks filthy. Only thing that will stop him is if he gets tired.

 

[jon abbey]

4 outfielders for Judge.

 

[jon abbey]

JUDGE

 

[cromulence]

LET'S GO!

 

[jon abbey]

<==this guy

 

[cromulence]

OK, OK, I was wrong to doubt him. ABs have been better.

 

[Couperin47]

Aaron wakes up, good timing

 

[crow216]

das mah boy aaron

 

[ThePrideofShiner]

Fuck yeah

 

[jon abbey]

Haha, he has three total hits in seven postseason games now, HRs off Bieber, Snell and Anderson.

 

[RedOctober3829]

That may be all Cole needs.

 

[jon abbey]

That HR was on the second pitch of the AB, the first strike he threw.

 

[terrynever]

4 outfielders for Judge.

They needed one in the stands.

 

[jon abbey]

That may be all Cole needs.

I think the goal is probably six innings and then Britton/Chapman.

 

[crow216]

Damn. Nick is throwing some very hittalbe pitches straight down the middle

 

[ThePrideofShiner]

Anderson is only at 14 pitches. He can go another inning at this rate.

 

[jon abbey]

Just 14 pitches for Anderson, will be very surprised and thankful if that’s it for him.

 

[VORP Speed]

Pesky pole pop-up. Very bad luck.

 

[staz]

BTW, WMB can eat a dick.

 

[cromulence]

No reason to assume anything until Cole gets Choi out. Or doesn't give up a HR.

Whew, OK.

 

[cromulence]

BTW, WMB can eat a dick.

Yeah, wow, lots of attention for Middlebrooks' Twitter out of nowhere.

 

[ThePrideofShiner]

Too many pitches this inning.

 

[ThePrideofShiner]

18 pitches to the last two batters. Great job by the Rays.

 

[staz]

Did Kevin Cash once hit like a 150-foot home run in a preseason game in the LA Coliseum as a member of the Sox?

[cromulence]

Love it. One more inning.

 

[VORP Speed]

Got his pitch count up. But the Rays are in one of their ice cold funks. Bad timing for that.

Only need 1 right now...This game is 0-0 if you ask me

 

[Couperin47]

another bad call, at least in our favor

 

[staz]

Yeah, let's give the balcony superspreader some props.
