That seems like a whole lot of vitriol

Maybe for a regular vitriol scale. It’s a solid 100 Vitrol+ though which adjusts for website source.

 

[staz]

Send Buck up there to face 99 mph with his mic on. Asshole.

No, no, no.

Dokes said it's ok.

 

[Remagellan]

I don’t know why Snell got another inning.

I don’t know why Snell got another inning.

rookie hazing

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Boring.

Markakis: First Greek-American All-Star?

Youk

 

[Remagellan]

For the Rays sake I’m glad Hinch pulled him before he got to 50 pitches, which he might have had he faced another batter.

 

[DJnVa]

throw fastballs you pussy

I was gone for a few innings--is this guy still here? At this point, how can someone not know this isn't acceptable here?

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

what is baseball without maneuvering

 

[E5 Yaz]

Pythagoras.

He wasn't real. Like climate change, he's just a theory

Tino Martinez Mother was Greek

Also Milt Pappas: and Gus Triandos

Pong

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Sale hitting 101 was the most exciting thing so far.

 

[charlieoscar]

Joe, how about stop talking during the pitch?

Yeah, it would be so nice to be able to just watch the game and get occasional input from the announcer about things like who's at bat, on deck, warming, the scoring on a play (hit, error, etc.) and things like that. There are pre-game shows, post-game, sports news broadcasts, but who needs to watch them since the people in the booth never shut up and seem to talk about everything other than the game.

 

[Ale Xander]

ROOGY!

 

[jon abbey]

Terrible call to end that inning.

I miss Ray Scott, too

 

[Al Zarilla]

Is this an all star caliber ump? Craw robbed.

 

[Remagellan]

Eric Gregg would approve this strike zone.

Jess gave him a warning, I would have given him a week off if I'd seen it sooner.

 

[Ale Xander]

Gregg liked a big plate, this is true.

 

[staz]

"they don't lose"

 

[OCST]

These caps suck.

 

[boxosII]

put one in the seats Mookie

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Fuck

 

[Remagellan]

I’m fine with that. I don’t want any of the Sox running the bases.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Can Dumbromski submit this game in arbitration?

 

[boxosII]

how many times has Altuve heard 'nice hit'

 

[edoug]

I’m fine with that. I don’t want any of the Sox running the bases.

Trotting would be cool though.

 

[Ale Xander]

Mookie not having a great day.

 

[Remagellan]

For sure. Hit one out or make an out.

 

[Norm Siebern]

I like Altuve

 

[etakbear]

Price is an All Star this year? The mind boggles.

 

[Ale Xander]

Trotting would be cool though.

Nixon is spending tonight at the Watergate Hotel, he's not at Nats Park

 

[Norm Siebern]

Mookie needs the rest of the night off now.

 

[Remagellan]

So is Perez going to catch the whole game?

 

[loshjott]

Fucking Buck trying to bro it up with these 25-30 year old athletes is cringeworthy.

I did like Smoltz' question to Harper about whether the field looks different from center field compared to right field. Half-expected Harper to dust off "that's a clown question, bro"

Especially because Smoltz should know that Harper played a lot of CF early in his career and at least once this year too.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Nixon is spending tonight at the Watergate Hotel, he's not at Nats Park

This is like three swinging strikes in one post

 

[strek1]

Mookie not having a great day.

Better for him to get the WS MVP

 

[Norm Siebern]

Trotting would be cool though.

And Russ Nixon was never quite an All Star. Neither was John Kennedy.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Thought Yadi hit that one out.

 

[staz]

It's about to get wet.

 

[strek1]

Everything is a commercial

 

[Norm Siebern]

Thought Yadi hit that one out.

Thank God he didn’t. I can’t stand Buck enough without that. He wouldn’t have shut up about how special the Cardinals are, Matheny or no Matheny.

 

[Jim Ed Rice in HOF]

It's about to get wet.

You talking about the game or are you gamethreading something else?

 

[Ale Xander]

wholesale changes
