5/21/2024 Sox @ Tampa Bay

[JohnnyTheBone]

The amazing Cooper Criswell will tote his scintillating 2.76 ERA to the slab tonight when he faces the hated Rays in St. Petersburg. Tampa is clinging to a slender .5-game lead over a resurgent Boston team that is primed to overtake them. Zack Littell will start for the losers, and while his statistics appear impressive, he can be rattled. Tonight, we'll see a changing of the guards in the AL East standings.

[YTF]

Just a reminder...6:50 start time.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Looks like people forgot!

 

[YTF]

Quick top of the first.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Oof.

 

[S. H. Frog]

Well, Criswell is in the soup right from the jump

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Hey Criswell. Time to remember that you're Amazing!

 

[S. H. Frog]

Crap throw from left

 

[bosockboy]

Nice throw.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Oh, right. The defense. I almost forgot.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

I thought Duran had more of a hose than that. Positively Damonesque.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

This isn't good. The Sox are 0-435 when the other team scores first.

 

[Coachster]

I know you guys love Duran, but that 5-bounce throw is why he’ll never be a decent center fielder.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Need a double play here.

 

[mauidano]

Inauspicious start...again.

 

[JOBU]

I know you guys love Duran, but that 5-bounce throw is why he’ll never be a decent center fielder.

Well it’s a good thing he’s in left then.

 

[S. H. Frog]

Honesty? Down 2-0 is better than I expected there

 

[LynnRice75]

Should have been a zero run inning.
Glad I went last night instead of today.

 

[YTF]

It ain't everyday when a pitcher faces 7 hitters in the first inning and only tosses 15 pitches.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Rays came out with a plan to swing early in the count.

 

[Coachster]

Well it’s a good thing he’s in left then.

That’s what I mean. He can’t make a decent throw from left; how the hell can he make throws from center?

But you knew what I was talking about, yes?

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Here we come, y'all!

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Raffy’s disappointing, underachieving season continues.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

That was a pitch to clobber.

 

[JOBU]

That’s what I mean. He can’t make a decent throw from left; how the hell can he make throws from center?

But you knew what I was talking about, yes?

Yeah I know. They can’t all be JBJ though. Duran has a howitzer compared to Damon and Ellsbury. I think he’s serviceable out there.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Let's go, Hambone. Little bingo!

Saw him twice on this tour.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Vaughn has this.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

alright!!!

 

[JOBU]

Attaboy kid

 

[The Filthy One]

Hey, there's a solid line drive.

 

[Red(s)HawksFan]

Grissom!

 

[Sprowl]

Gaunt Grissom gets a reprieve from BABIP.

 

[Coachster]

New kid!

 

[mauidano]

Grissom gets lucky. It works.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

I can't understand why any pitcher throws Rafaela anything but high heat

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Saw him twice on this tour.

That's interesting. Was there a lot of buzz surrounding the concerts? I know there was a frenzy around the '74 comeback shows with The Band, but by 1978, things had changed. Punk was the rage and the legacy acts had been marginalized, and Street-Legal was largely panned by critics. What was the vibe?

 

[YTF]

Yep, he just can't lay off that pitch.

 

[ColdSoxPack]

Yep, he just can't lay off that pitch.

A sold out show at Boston Garden and a sold out show at the Springfield Civic Center. The buzz was why is Dylan doing a show with 10 musicians on stage? Critics called it a Vegas routine. He was great.

 

[mauidano]

Hey Siri! What does bad base running look like?

 

[YTF]

Gift DP there.

 

[Red(s)HawksFan]

Why is Hamilton playing?

Lucky him, bailed out by some bad baserunning by Siri.

 

[ColdSoxPack]

Whoops

 

[YTF]

Whoops

I should lay off the sauce.

Nice to hear. I was still about 5 years away in 1978 from my first concert, but I love Bob unconditionally. For me, the 1997-2001 period was peak.

 

[YTF]

Fucking strikeouts.
