4/17 City of Dreams

[Rovin Romine]

I gotta say as a Floridian, this is a classic Florida weather pattern

This week at least.

 

[Ale Xander]

Iphone weather app saying it'll be dry by 3PM

(70% chance rain at Fenway at 2PM)

Maybe we borrow the Rays roof

And Devers will have a 2.4% chance of homering in any given at-bat.

 

[Rovin Romine]

Man. I have a 2pm meeting and was sure the game would have been well over before it.

 

[SoFloSoxFan]

MLB Network says tarp is off and they are hoping to restart in next 15 or 20 minutes.

FWIW the radar suggests the rain is over in Boston.

Well, it kind of is

How drunk are these fans?

NESN has 2:35 restart.

 

[FlexFlexerson]

How drunk are these fans?

Just the right amount, from the looks of it.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Some people should remove their shirts only in the privacy of their homes.

 

[Hyde Park Factor]

That's a lot of man boobs. Too many man boobs.

 

[TheYellowDart5]

Looks like Ohtani is done thanks to the second delay; again, the Angels should be pissed as hell about how the rain was handled.

 

[Rovin Romine]

Well, it kind of is

Pro-Tip. When scheduling a long phone meeting, for which two people are indispensable, make sure those two people are actually available for said meeting.

 

[richgedman'sghost]

It’s insane the degree to which the results of so many of his starts do not match up with what actually happened.

This one not quite as drastic as he has given up some rockets too.

Wasn't Bello's final start last year in Yankee Stadium ruined by rain? I seem to remember a few of his starts last year were affected by rain? Why can't he pitch in the nice 75 degree weather we had last week?
I don't think anything can be determined by this waste of a start. Between the crappy weather and bad defense I'd throw Bello's results out.

 

[TomBrunansky23]

See you in 10 days or so Christian. My goodness.

 

[Rovin Romine]

Arroyo with a running issue/injury.

 

[pk1627]

Uh oh Arroyo.

 

[Leskanic's Thread]

Maybe we should have just forfeited?

 

[TheYellowDart5]

Honestly losing Arroyo's bat is probably a positive at this point

 

[InsideTheParker]

Looks like Ohtani is done thanks to the second delay; again, the Angels should be pissed as hell about how the rain was handled.

I wonder if they are annoyed, or if they saw the same forecasts and agreed with them?

 

[patinorange]

Arroyo with a running issue/injury.

He lasted longer than I thought before injury one.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Hamilton time.

Duran staring at a hanger. Awful player.

 

[Rovin Romine]

What a mess.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Sorry, but when did the term ‘sweeper’ come into vogue?

 

[donutogre]

I don't think anything can be determined by this waste of a start. Between the crappy weather and bad defense I'd throw Bello's results out.

I'm feeling more critical of him than that, but I also get that this has been a clusterfuck of a day. I won't hang him out to dry totally

The offense, on the other hand... well that was an ugly inning.

 

[Coachster]

Wow, do I hate Jarren Duran. His lack of success makes me gleeful.

 

[E5 Yaz]

I started typing "Wait" and autofill immediately defaulted to "Christian Arroyo got injured?"

 

[strek1]

So much for getting the offense going with a new pitcher.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Sorry, but when did the term ‘sweeper’ come into vogue?

Just before "swifty" in the dictionary

 

[Al Zarilla]

Had your chance to call it, dummies. Nah, in the hands of the umps once the game started.

 

[Ale Xander]

Death. Taxes. Arroyo injured

 

[E5 Yaz]

So much for getting the offense going with a new pitcher.

"ooffense" was far more appropriate

 

[strek1]

Who's taking Arroyo's place? I'm just on gameday . There's no update. Chang?

 

[mauidano]

See you in 10 days or so Christian. My goodness.

It wouldn't be a season without Arroyo on the IL.

 

[The Gray Eagle]

This game is suddenly flying along.

 

[donutogre]

This game is suddenly flying along.

Yeah, I imagine both teams are going to be swinging at whatever slop is up there to get things done.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Kutter's getting the W today.

 

[Rovin Romine]

Who's taking Arroyo's place? I'm just on gameday . There's no update. Chang?

He stayed in the game defensively, so we'll see. . .but he definitely grimaced and stumbled as he was running.

 

[mauidano]

Devers Dings Doubles!

 

[Al Zarilla]

Just before "swifty" in the dictionary

With hoovered before sweeper, right?

 

[Ale Xander]

Hamilton or Rafaela? (and Kike to 2B?)

or just trade forJose Church please
But until then, Dalbec probably back

 

[shawnrbu]

Casas knows the strikezone better than the ump.

 

[Rovin Romine]

Casas has a great eye. He's like the anti-Dalbec. I hope the results of that discipline start paying dividends for him soon.

 

[strek1]

Casas. Good eye again.

 

[Back Bay]

I want to see some sparks and fireworks

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

These little nothing middle-in sliders are the kind of pitches we should be crushing.

 

[PhabPhour20]

Honestly losing Arroyo's bat is probably a positive at this point

And I was so optimistic this would be the year he stays healthy and puts it all together...

 

[E5 Yaz]

Tying run at the plate ... just sayin'

 

[Fishy1]

Good for Casas. Ump made him stay up there longer than he needed to but he did a good job laying off that last pitch
