Tapia floppia

The kid has scored two runs tonight. Let someone else have a turn.

 

[Mantush]

I'm still confused about the violation call on Turner... what did he do wrong with 8 secs left on the clock?

Only Eddings knows

Forget it, Doc. He's Eddings.

 

[BornToRun]

Velocity is down. This is it for him, I’d wager.

 

[LogansDad]

Another really nice piece of hitting by Harrison there.

 

[E5 Yaz]

He should know how to hit, he's older than Julio Franco

 

[BornToRun]

Really good outing tonight.

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Overall a really nice start.

 

[LogansDad]

Excellent performance. Really encouraging to see two in a row.

 

[JM3]

QS!

 

[E5 Yaz]

Place your bets ... does Turner get tossed this time around?

 

[Mantush]

Does Cora turn to Ort?

 

[strek1]

Nice game pitched against a good hitting team with a rotten Home Plate Ump. 10 K's

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Sale was nails after the team mound visit in the 4th to calm him down.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Yankees lose

 

[strek1]

The MFY lose

 

[LogansDad]

Ugh, this team seems like such a bad matchup for Bleier to me.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Ugh, this team seems like such a bad matchup for Bleier to me.

Don't sweat it. What's the worst that could happen?

 

[LogansDad]

Don't sweat it. What's the worst that could happen?

I am going to have nightmares about the game he took over for Kluber in Tampa for a long, long time.

 

[E5 Yaz]

See? Easy peasy. 1-2-

 

[BornToRun]

Raffy’s had a rough week out there.

 

[JOBU]

Not ideal

 

[BornToRun]

Ruin their moment, Bleier

 

[LogansDad]

Annnnnnd breathe.

 

[E5 Yaz]

-3

 

[JOBU]

Solid

 

[BornToRun]

Big Dick Dick?

 

[Beomoose]

Big Dick Dick?

Big Nick Dick

 

[LogansDad]

Now idea how Duran just stayed in there on that slider after the one over his head.

 

[scott bankheadcase]

Ugh. Duran might not bat .400 this year. Way below expectations!

 

[Redkluzu]

Must be balk week

 

[LogansDad]

Really nice at bat for Casas, this guy looks impossible for a lefty to hit off of.

 

[strek1]

Drives me nuts when we swing at the first pitch after a walk.

 

[TFisNEXT]

Big inning here with 4-5-6 up for Phils

 

[E5 Yaz]

Welp, here we go. If all goes well, Jansen will have the bottom third to deal with in the ninth

 

[rodderick]

It's still insane to me that with all the changes the sport has gone through due to analytics we can't just say "our best reliever will face the heart of the order here" in this situation.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Agree completely

I don't disagree, but Martin isn't bad.

 

[patinorange]

Tapia makes me nervous on every play out there.

 

[S. H. Frog]

That was a pleasantly smooth bottom of the eighth

 

[LogansDad]

1-2-3, LIKE

 

[E5 Yaz]

That should do it.

 

[The Gray Eagle]

Nice job by Rocky Bleier, and now Coldplay.
Brasier and Ort are likely going to have to eventually pitch at some point this weekend, so hopefully the other relievers do their jobs just like that.

 

[rodderick]

I don't disagree, but Martin isn't bad.

Martin's good, it's just that if you told me 20 years ago the game would be so analytics driven in 2023 I would've bet the closer role would have been one of the first things to go.

 

[Don Buddin's GS]

You know what I don't miss? That having to sit your DH in a NL ballpark bullshit.

 

[LogansDad]

One hundred billion percent.

 

[S. H. Frog]

Looked like calf, not knee. Phew

 

[BornToRun]

One hundred billion percent.

But the strategy!

 

[E5 Yaz]

Yoshi hurt?

 

[derekson]

Verdugo in instead of Refsnyder? Surprising but ok
