5/10: Drop the Chop

[absintheofmalaise]

Casas!!!

 

[S. H. Frog]

Cassas administering the Poleaxvid

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

He is insanely fast

 

[reggiecleveland]

Good god

 

[phrenile]

That'll do.

 

[azsoxpatsfan]

Casas!

 

[Al Zarilla]

Juran can fly, and a bomb by Casas!

 

[TFisNEXT]

442 feet! Holy shit!

 

[budcrew08]

95 in, 105 out. Casas!

 

[Rovin Romine]

The kids are alright.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

OK, now score no more so Kenly gets the 400th. /s (sorta)

 

[canderson]

Just turned it on and good lord that was a moon blast

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Casas is allowed to be slow

 

[azsoxpatsfan]

Nutted

Same here

 

[patinorange]

The KIDS!

 

[AMS25]

Well, that was a sight for sore eyes.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Holy smokes

 

[teddywingman]

This game got fun again.

 

[ngruz25]

I thought the Acuna home run was a truck mistake, but apparently someone is making a conscious decision to cut away from the ball flight as it's landing on home runs. So they can show the hitter pimping the home run.

I think Atlanta is controlling the camera feed, FWIW.

 

[nvalvo]

Casas is allowed to be slow

He looks like a moose.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Man, that Duran/Casas sequence was thrilling.

 

[Bergs]

Tristan fucking smoked that.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

It's not like he hit it against some stiff either

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Ugh at Wong slipping. More concerned about the uncompetitive K's than the OPS dropping.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

The struggling Rafael Devers with a basehit.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

This game got fun again.

This whole game has been a hell of a lot of fun

 

[Bergs]

Where the hell did this Martin dude come from

Pretty much just a Radiohead knockoff.

 

[iambatman818]

What’s the Merloni story for those not listening?

 

[LogansDad]

It's not like he hit it against some stiff either

That's the 2nd and 3rd earned runs he has allowed since he got traded to Atlanta last year.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

In one of the crowd shots after the Casas HR they showed a Sox fan who had ‘The Java Man’ on the back of his jersey.

?

 

[LogansDad]

It's really been a spectacular game.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

What’s the Merloni story for those not listening?

He was a journeyman utility infielder, then did local sports radio and kinda sucked at it. Now he's a competent color man on Red Sox broadcasts.

 

[Al Zarilla]

The struggling Rafael Devers with a basehit.

We're saving him for the dog days of summer.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

This whole game has been a hell of a lot of fun

Hell, the entire season has been!

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

He was a journeyman utility infielder, then did local sports radio and kinda sucked at it. Now he's a competent color man on Red Sox broadcasts.

They are making a mockery of his career showing all these clips.

Framingham’s finest!

 

[azsoxpatsfan]

They just had a baseball zen ad with tatis dancing. He was dancing a a “he takes steroids” chant that for some reason they muted

 

[LogansDad]

I'm not sure Duran makes that play last year.

 

[Al Zarilla]

I like a fast Cfer.

 

[derekson]

I still can't get over how different Duran is defensively this year. It's not unusual to see a young guy start hitting but for defense to turn around like this is pretty remarkable. He's actually getting good jumps now.

 

[derekson]

Don't think he does.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Those insurance runs sure are comforting. Thanks, Triston.

 

[reggiecleveland]

Verdugo LOL

It is amazing. So many guys on this team were challenged in the off-season for various reasons (Duran, Verdugo, Winckowski, Crawford, etc.) and they’ve all responded incredibly favorably.

Hell, Duran had a great spring, got sent down anyways and could have pouted about it- but handled it the right way, and here we are.

 

[S. H. Frog]

Does Duran's arm look a little better this year?

 

[reggiecleveland]

Does Duran's arm look a little better this year?

He is reading the ball better and stepping into throws not circling around in a panic.

I freely admit that I thought Duran was a total non-prospect after last season. Love to be wrong on that one

 

[budcrew08]

Kenley throwing 99

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

400!

 

[derekson]

99 MPH cutter from Jansen???!!!
