[JOBU]

Whiffed

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

It's a good thing Valdez can rake.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Bounce one to the backstop and this baby's tied.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

John Schneider?

Remember when mlb managers were pretty much always former players you remember? Know they seem like completely randos. Or maybe it’s just me.

 

[strek1]

Had this guy on the ropes in the first.

 

[BornToRun]

I’m still pissed at Kluber and I will remain pissed until and unless we win this game.

 

[TeddyBallgame9]

Pretty soon Kluber will be out to pasture and you’ll be even busier.

I’d much prefer feeding him hay than him feeding meatballs.

 

[E5 Yaz]

This Blue Jays lineup doesn't seem to be as deep as in recent years. With Springer out, who really scares you after you get past Chapman?

 

[PhabPhour20]

John Schneider?

Schumaker played for St Louis I think

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Kluber has 11 walks in 26 innings. Last year he had 21 in 164.

This has been very strange

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Kluber‘s numbers in his four starts at Fenway are….yikes.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Guy gets two strikes then throws a cookie.

Of your NO picks, I remember Hinch, Bochy and Martinez as players

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Schumaker played for St Louis I think

Bochy had a long career. Hinch played too.

 

[BornToRun]

14-10 in non Kluber games just FYI

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Shelton and Lovullo too.

So yeah I’m wrong.

Managers do seem younger to me. Probably because….I’m older.

 

[mr_smith02]

Tanner, you are the man!

 

[InsideTheParker]

Wait, Tronna didn't score there? Progress. (It's sort of hard to follow the game with these interviews going on.)

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Basehit!

 

[Redkluzu]

These disgiusting DeSantis commercials on NESN make me want to puke.

 

[BornToRun]

These disgiusting DeSantis commercials on NESN make me want to puke.

Good thing I’m streaming, I guess.

 

[Moviegoer]

These disgiusting DeSantis commercials on NESN make me want to puke.

On a MA station? Why in the hell is he wasting money on that? He's not even declared yet.

 

[BornToRun]

Kike what the fuck was that

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Nice popup on 3-0, Kike. Christ.

 

[budcrew08]

Why swinging 3-0? Are we joking?

 

[E5 Yaz]

Can we please keep the political talk out of the game threads?

 

[staz]

nm

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

On a MA station? Why in the hell is he wasting money on that? He's not even declared yet.

New Hampshire primary.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

SMASH ONE THE FUCK ON OUT OF HERE, TRISTON!

 

[GB5]

A guy hitting like Kike cannot get a 3-0 green light there. Let’s have some awareness.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

FACK!

 

[mauidano]

Good thing I’m streaming, I guess.

I’d rather listen to the ridiculous Baseball Zen commercials on a loop for thirty minutes than 30 seconds of that nonsense from DeSantis.

 

[BornToRun]

grrrrr

 

[LynnRice75]

So. Many. Squanders.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Why swinging 3-0? Are we joking?

He was hot for like two weeks a couple years ago!

 

[BornToRun]

I’d rather listen to the ridiculous Baseball Zen commercials on a loop for thirty minutes than 30 seconds of that nonsense from DeSantis.

I do find myself wanting to punch the person responsible for those Scott’s ads, though.

 

[Redkluzu]

Can we please keep the political talk out of the game threads?

I wish NESN would keep political crap out of their ads and stick to beer, cars, you know, hell I even don't balk at where to get your cancer treatment

 

[InsideTheParker]

On a MA station? Why in the hell is he wasting money on that? He's not even declared yet.

Aimed at viewers from N.H.

 

[BornToRun]

Amazing what happens when you go after the shitty hitters instead of walking them.

 

[budcrew08]

I do find myself wanting to punch the person responsible for those Scott’s ads, though.

FEED YOUR LAWN. FEED IT

 

[BornToRun]

FEED YOUR LAWN. FEED IT

Hate you.

 

[InsideTheParker]

I am really missing Yu Chang.

 

[BornToRun]

I know he won’t but I’d say pull him if he loses Guerrero

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Kluber somehow bullshits his way through the 3rd.

Sox have to stop squandering, because this is winnable.

 

[InsideTheParker]

I know he won’t but I’d say pull him if he loses Guerrero

Especially if Guerrero loses one over the monster. (Oh, yippee. That didn't happen.)

 

[budcrew08]

77 pitches in 4 innings. Need a quick fifth.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Kluber somehow bullshits his way through the 3rd.

Dial-up modem?

 

[E5 Yaz]

77 pitches in 4 innings. Need a quick fifth.

So do I

 

[ShaneTrot]

Can Kluber throw a pitch >90 MPH?
