6/12: Sox vs ROXTOWN

[LynnRice75]

Don’t get the intentional walk with a pitcher who had control issues.
Don’t get keeping players in positions where they don’t play well, especially when their bats don’t warrant it.
Don’t get the inability to play fundamentally sound baseball for more than a few innings at a time.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Never back up as an infielder. Charge the hop.

Absolutely. Backing up, in sloppy weather especially, and the bounce could go anywhere

[mr_smith02]

I have to keep reminding myself I am watching a last-place team and that is what I get.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Just take the L and call the game.

 

[scottyno]

What does Casas do well? He is a butcher in the field and his bat is close to a zero at this point.

His bat has been good for a month and a half

 

[Looch]

Baseball dystopia. Drop it.

 

[Ale Xander]

Umpires want to catch the end of the NBA Finals, it’s probably that

 

[budcrew08]

The MLB.tv feed is gone too, so can’t even watch rain delay stuff

 

[E5 Yaz]

The rain delay doesn't wipe out the Rockies runs, if anyone's thinking that it might if this gets called

 

[DaveRoberts'Shoes]

I was at Casas’ first game and was so psyched about him…. He can leave now.

 

[Ale Xander]

Rain supposed to stop in half an hour but then it’s thunderstorms roughly 2-5am

 

[FlexFlexerson]

Great decision making in all phases: the team, the umps, our ballpark meteorologist...

 

[patinorange]

Wish he could play first base.

 

[ngruz25]

I'd say it's been more "passable" than "good" of late, but maybe that's splitting hairs. He's got an OBP of .305 over the last 15 games.

 

[LynnRice75]

If you don’t laugh, you cry

I’ll do my crying in the rain.

Can you please whip up a short four line poem to at least make us feel like all is well and none of this matters anyway?

 

[E5 Yaz]

Is Casas in the organization after the trade deadline?

I hear laughter in the rain

 

[pokey_reese]

Where was this rain 15 minutes ago?

Where was this rain 15 minutes ago?

At ITP's house in Wayward Pines

Unless they can somehow get a haul for him, he'd better be. People (not necessarily you in particular) need to calm down. The guy is a rookie.

 

[The Gray Eagle]

Seems like for this one, god in heaven above has come down and pointed his hand at their side of the field, and will not allow the Red Sox to win this game.

But in the grand scheme of things, it just doesn't matter.

Rainy days AND Mondays

Did it used too?

Only if it was the top of the 5th. So no.

 

[Yaz Fan 4 Life]

I was a Huge Casas fan heading into this season. I really thought he was going to be a special player. Now maybe he will still be that, but the player I have seen so far looks lost in a lot of ways. I really wonder if a trip down to AAA for a bit may be best for all involved. Give him some time to work on some stuff, bring up Bobby and see what he can do. If Casas shows improvement then great bring him back up. If Bobby does well maybe you trade one of them and get something out of that too.

 

[Sandy Leon Trotsky]

I'm glad he's being given a shot in a ML rotation on a team like the Rockies. I thought he could turn into a decent back end of a rotation guy but time is running out on him. Or..... more likely he'll turn into an ace tonight after the Sox hack away at crappy offerings, strand runners all over the place and score two runs while Crawford tosses 6 innings and they lose 3-2. Or... maybe not. Maybe they beat the snot out of a crappy pitcher.

Fuck this shit!!!

 

[E5 Yaz]

Only if it was the top of the 5th. So no.

Not quite. If the visiting team scored runs in the top of an inning after the fifth and the rains came to the extent the game was called, it used to revert to the score at the previously completed inning. This this would get suspended and resumed tomorrow

 

[moonshotmanny]

Only if it was the top of the 5th. So no.

Ok! Another question. Can they call the game if the home team hasn't batted at the bottom of the inning?

We hope for water. Instead it’s just wet.
We wait and wonder how bad things will get.
Things look awful now, but we’re still a threat.
We have not lost in extra innings yet.

Mind fucking blown, man.

Absolutely asinine the umpires had them play the top of the 10th in that rain.....

The phrase “absolutely asinine” could apply to so many things in this game.

 

[Van Everyman]

Tarp is coming off

 

[Obscure Name]

Tarp's coming off.

 

[JOBU]

I heard the tarp is coming off

 

[OurF'ingCity]

Umps just wanted to catch the fourth quarter of the basketball game.

Umps just wanted to catch the fourth quarter of the basketball game.

That’s what I said an hour ago

Radio says 11:40 restart.

Bless you, sir!

 

[ngruz25]

If Jacques comes out of the game, gets sent back down to Pawtucket, and never gets back to the majors, he's going to have one of the stranger career stat lines.

 

[FlexFlexerson]

Now that the nuggets have officially won, Colorado has met it's winning quota for the evening/weeks. Rockies are free to blow it tonight and the next couple games.

Is Casas in the organization after the trade deadline?

Bloom can't seem to find a market for Bobby, he's not moving Casas.

 

[strek1]

Sox get the third out right here, then walk it off

I guess the rest of the fans don't share your optimism. They all went home during the rain delay.
