4/17 City of Dreams

[TheYellowDart5]

Both pitchers look like they're trying to throw greased up Magic 8 Balls

 

[Red(s)HawksFan]

Ohtani not looking particularly sharp so far.

 

[nvalvo]

Challenge that.

 

[canderson]

That’s a drop

Edit nm better angle shows the catch

 

[Fishy1]

Devers lays off a couple of those sliders and he's standing on first base. Fucking annoying

 

[trekfan55]

Only one strike in the Devers AB (accordingly to Gameday)

 

[donutogre]

Think that last pitch to Devers was the first one he's thrown in the zone.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Ohtani not looking particularly sharp so far.

Matches the Red Sox. A run!!!!

 

[TheYellowDart5]

Given the velocity and movement I don't understand how anyone ever puts an Ohtani pitch into play with any kind of authority

 

[mauidano]

Congratulations kid!

 

[JCizzle]

Ughh. Might need to get him out of there soon.

 

[canderson]

Bello has absolutely nothing

 

[MiracleOfO2704]

I don't know how much longer you can let Bello go. Not even as a question of saving the bullpen, but rather as a matter of not crushing his confidence.

 

[LynnRice75]

The Angels have more runners than the marathon.

 

[Al Zarilla]

In other news, MLBN has a special on Terry Francona coming up next Sunday at 8 Eastern. DVR set.

 

[TheYellowDart5]

Where has that changeup been all day?

 

[nvalvo]

Nice play from Kiké

 

[nvalvo]

Much better inning.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Nice play from Kiké

Do or die with the one hand.

 

[mauidano]

The rain looks pretty heavy on TV. Shohei looks soaked.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Why was this game started?

 

[TheYellowDart5]

Whoever did the weather consultation for the new start time probably shouldn't expect a bonus this year.

 

[FlexFlexerson]

oh man, it'd be such a bummer if this one got rained out...

 

[DeadlySplitter]

What is going on with this weather?

 

[shawnrbu]

This is absurd.

 

[JCizzle]

oh man, it'd be such a bummer if this one got rained out...

Shame. A real shame!

 

[Fishy1]

What is going on with this weather?

i believe this is what they refer to in the business as rain

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Blatant pitch clock violation. Unreal!

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Bello does not look dominant.

 

[Rovin Romine]

What are the 2023 rain out rules?

 

[canderson]

It‘s almost like the entire Boston org has been asleep today.

 

[mauidano]

What a mess!

 

[shawnrbu]

Did Lou just call Ohtani Ichiro?

 

[LynnRice75]

When I wished for "water" this is not exactly what I had in mind.

 

[YTF]

Did Lou just call Ohtani Ichiro?

If so, I missed it. He was just talking about Ichiro a few minutes ago.

 

[canderson]

Did Lou just call Ohtani Ichiro?

Yea but he immediately corrected himself …

 

[mauidano]

You could’ve figured this out during the delay. WTF?

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

You couldn’t have figured all this out during the 10 minutes they were working on the field?

 

[YTF]

Complicating it further, it seems pitchcom is a three way affair with Ohtani.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Ohtani will have pneumonia for the Yankee series now.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Weather's ruined what was a delightful matchup on paper. Ah well.

 

[mauidano]

Kike never had a chance.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

What an unfair sequence to Kiké.

 

[LynnRice75]

Sox rushed through their at bats for a quick inning in a kind attempt to make up for the delay.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Basehit!

 

[soxin6]

Get a real SS

 

[The Gray Eagle]

WTF Kike? Should have been a routine groundout.
He looked like a soccer goalie who got wrong-footed. Shouldn't really happen at SS.

 

[TheYellowDart5]

How do you break the wrong way on a groundball hit right at you?

 

[Rovin Romine]

Did Hernandez even react to that?

 

[sezwho]

sigh, positionless baseball
