5/24 The Question Was Asked

[budcrew08]

Paxton out after three innings? Chance to get Pivetta in? Something else?

Paxton out after three innings? Chance to get Pivetta in? Something else?

Paxton was a little off tonight

 

[derekson]

And Pivetta is permanently off

 

[JOBU]

Well. At least we scored a run

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Not the Sox fault, they just got the Angels when they were hot!

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Pivetta is pure ass butter.

 

[JOBU]

Stupid shit happens out west. A tale as old as time

 

[S. H. Frog]

Just checking in: gross.

Thank heavens for the blackout of games involving LA.

Now we have to take 2 of 3 from the DBacks to have a 500 trip

At least Duran is working on his wall climbing skills.

 

[derekson]

At least Duran is working on his wall climbing skills.

Even if his hitting is cold he still looks pretty solid defensively.

 

[LesterFan]

One of the worst umps of the year right here, for both sides.

 

[JOBU]

This ump is something.

 

[derekson]

One of the worst umps of the year right here, for both sides.

The umps seem to be suffering more from the pitching clock than hitters or pitchers

 

[JOBU]

One of the worst umps of the year right here, for both sides.

Seems like he’s fucked the Sox a lot more. Unbiased eyes of course

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Duran and Wong suddenly being terrible is depressing

 

[patinorange]

Even if his hitting is cold he still looks pretty solid defensively.

He seems to be getting better jumps. But it would take him two throws to reach home on a shallow flyball.

 

[LesterFan]

Was Turner not running? Holy fuck

 

[Obscure Name]

Mirabellian speed.

 

[JOBU]

Nice hustle.

 

[derekson]

He seems to be getting better jumps. But it would take him two throws to reach home on a shallow flyball.

No worse than Crisp or Damon or Ellsbury throwing.

 

[patinorange]

Nice hustle.

Holy fucking shit.

 

[LesterFan]

Seems like he’s fucked the Sox a lot more. Unbiased eyes of course

Awful

Spoiler

 

[LynnRice75]

Yoshida continues to lead the world in slow rollers to second.

 

[Dewey's 'stache]

Yawn

 

[derekson]

If reliever Pivetta can pitch off of his curve he might be useful.

 

[MuzzyField]

No worse than Crisp or Damon or Ellsbury throwing.

Duran has a Blake Bortles issue. He's an unnatural thrower of a baseball.

The trio you mention are also competent MLB outfield trackers and catchers of the baseball, Duran is "figuring it out".

 

[strek1]

We're rapidly heading back to .500 I see.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

El Guapo.

 

[Van Everyman]

Holy fuck is this guy a load

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Rich Garces coming in.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

El Guapo.

What you said.

 

[derekson]

Moronta looks like the reincarnation of Rich Garces

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Thirded.

 

[Van Everyman]

Wendlestat is having one of the worst games of any umpire I’ve seen this year. These pitches aren’t close.

 

[JOBU]

WONG DONG!

 

[JOBU]

Didn’t know Rich Garces was back in the league

 

[derekson]

Wendlestat is having one of the worst games of any umpire I’ve seen this year. These pitches aren’t close.

I said it earlier in the game thread that umps have gotten worse with the pitch clock halfway tongue-in-cheek but it seems to be the case and does make sense.

 

[derekson]

Didn’t know Rich Garces was bag in the league

You're the fifth to make this comparison

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Didn’t know Rich Garces was bag in the league

Fourthed.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Will the real Jarren Duran please stand up.

 

[derekson]

Why isn't Verdugo pinch hitting right now?

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Will the real Jarren Duran please stand up.

He looks like he’s standing too far off the plate to me.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Why isn't Verdugo pinch hitting right now?

Cora gave up.

 

[derekson]

Cora gave up.

That seems to be the implication

 

[JOBU]

You're the fifth to make this comparison

Cut me some slack I’ve had a rough day. You know that scene in Tommy Boy where the hood flips up? Yeah that happened to me this afternoon

 

[E5 Yaz]

And the game just got interesting

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Cut me some slack I’ve had a rough day. You know that scene in Tommy Boy where the hood flips up? Yeah that happened to me this afternoon

Oof

 

[derekson]

Cut me some slack I’ve had a rough day. You know that scene in Tommy Boy where the hood flips up? Yeah that happened to me this afternoon

It's okay you were only the fourth and I made the comparison using fifth to make a bad joke based on your signature having the rum comparison

 

[Van Everyman]

Verdict on Moronta’s performance: not handsome.
