5-26-23 Sox in the Desert v1

[JohnnyTheBone]

14 total bases already very unshabby.

That was a slow weekend for Jim Ed Rice.

 

[Al Zarilla]

That was a slow weekend for Jim Ed Rice.

His number also.

 

[zenax]

.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

His number also.

Lord have mercy, that man could mash.

 

[Bergs]

Seems to be German in origin and a number immigrated to this country.

That would explain why I thought it was the name of a defunct Wisconsin brewery.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Probably because the beer was pflaadt

 

[shawnrbu]

How do they fit Duvall and Duran in the lineup?

 

[patinorange]

WTF?

 

[Doc Zero]

was that just bad positioning, or…?

 

[E5 Yaz]

was that just bad positioning, or…?

keep going

 

[shawnrbu]

“Didn’t take the best route.”

 

[Bergs]

Nice job, Tapia.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

How do they fit Duvall and Duran in the lineup?

Duvall in Center, Duran in Worcester.

 

[teddywingman]

That was a bad play by Tapia.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Turner had a crappy AB, Tapia burps it up in the outfield... sigh

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Nice route, Sir Francis Drake.

 

[Bergs]

Probably because the beer was pflaadt

Go on and drop your microphone.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Was it Longoria's wife that was into some shady dealings with a local preacher?

 

[shawnrbu]

Frozen.

 

[Bergs]

That was disgusting.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Random thought: Why don't we see former major leaguers become umpires? We've seen it in the NBA and NFL, maybe in the NHL.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Was it Longoria's wife that was into some shady dealings with a local preacher?

She was a desperate housewife

 

[shawnrbu]

Casas forget the outs?

 

[patinorange]

I like this version of Chris Sale.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Was it Longoria's wife that was into some shady dealings with a local preacher?

Yes, it was the subject of the Hallmark movie, "Going 'Oh My God', While My Husband's Goin' Yard".

 

[Al Zarilla]

Damage limited.

 

[LynnRice75]

How do they fit Duvall and Duran in the lineup?

Duran in the field. Duvall as DH. Turner at First. Casas out.
Rotate those 4 to keep the hot bat in the lineup.
Good problem to have.
Will be an equally fun problem when Story returns.
Perhaps eventually, someone gets moved for pitching?

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

I like this version of Chris Sale.

The one that straight-up mows pricks DOWN!

 

[E5 Yaz]

Casas forget the outs?

He does that at the end of every inning. It's a thing

 

[Bergs]

Random thought: Why don't we see former major leaguers become umpires? We've seen it in the NBA and NFL, maybe in the NHL.

Most MLB players aren't frustrated losers with an authoritarian complex? Just a guess.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Was it Longoria's wife that was into some shady dealings with a local preacher?

No, that was Ben Zobrist. Longoria married a Playboy bunny.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

It's a little known fact that harbor seals can't see the color of the Diamondbacks's uniforms.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

No, that was Ben Zobrist. Longoria married a Playboy bunny.

Ah, right. I've always conflated those guys.

 

[Al Zarilla]

The pitcher looks like Johnny Cueto all the way to the hair.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Ah, right. I've always conflated those guys.

Conflated's better than fellated.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Conflated's better than fellated.

"Not necessarily!" - Zobrist's minister

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Helluva pitch there.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Helluva pitch there.

Yep, tip your cap and sit down

 

[Ale Xander]

The Dentist should have added a pool to Fenway.

that would have worked great on opening day this year

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Fenway Park: Sports Facility of the Year

 

[Al Zarilla]

Rabbit-eye ump.

 

[mauidano]

It was that last breath that screwed Chris up there.

 

[mauidano]

BIG lead and gone.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Didn't get him but he made that a lot closer than I thought humanly possible.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Chris gets to two strikes, then starts playing with his food.

 

[teddywingman]

BIG lead and gone.

Wong made a good throw. Nothing he could do.

 

[HangingW/ScottCooper]

After a stolen base does the disengagement count reset? Sale threw over with McCarthy on first this at bat and then stepped off when he was on second. Did that cap him for the at bat or did he have one more?

 

[mauidano]

Sale has no clue where the ball is going. He’s all over the place.

 

[mauidano]

Phew.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

... Why is Sale done?
