6/27 Meet the Marlins

[LogansDad]

Not only do they suck tonight, but they are ruins Arraez' run at .400.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Some idiot is going to look at Whitlock’s walk to strikeout ratio and BABIP for this game and declare him the victim of extremely bad luck.

And then post it on the main board.

 

[derekson]

This is just not a good baseball team. Sell.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Please move back Whitlock to the Andrew Miller role in the pen

every game can be a bullpen game

 

[Doc Zero]

Please move back Whitlock to the Andrew Miller role in the pen

Yeah let’s start.. (checks notes) Brandon Walker

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Why?

 

[Just a bit outside]

Great throw.

 

[patinorange]

Down 5? WTF

 

[JOBU]

Fundamentals

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Casas sucks.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Wong erases the E5.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Down goes Jism.

 

[IdiotKicker]

I don’t know how the Sox are showing a 0 for Es tonight. Should be at least 3.

 

[LesterFan]

This official scorer is extremely generous.

 

[derekson]

I don’t know how the Sox are showing a 0 for Es tonight. Should be at least 3.

Surely it's not Cora's fault, he's the MANAGER not a coach

 

[absintheofmalaise]

I didn't know people had back toes. Thanks Millar.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Wong erases the E5.

I'M STILL HERE

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

This team brings out all the A-list stars like Ryan from The Office.

 

[Bergs]

Wake right on top of the cultural zeitgeist.

 

[Doc Zero]

I'M STILL HERE

 

[Bergs]

This team brings out all the A-list stars like Ryan from The Office.

Full disclosure: I think it's completely adorable how tightly-knit the cast of that show still is.

 

[E5 Yaz]

You'll believe anything. I bet you believe Bloom has "a plan."

 

[LogansDad]

Reds vs Orioles is a spectacular baseball showcase

 

[Bergs]

You'll believe anything. I bet you believe Bloom has "a plan."

ha. Seriously, though. My wife listens (listened?) to a podcast hosted by a couple of them: every episode was a different cast member, and it always devolved into how much they all love each other. So fucking cute.

 

[mauidano]

Jacques Rocks.

 

[derekson]

Millar in the booth makes this game even worse

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Triston DHasas with a basehit!

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Hambone is a common nickname for people named Hamilton.

 

[teddywingman]

Seriously. The main board is an atrocity. It's an affront to the very concepts of reason, historical perspective, and rationality. Additionally, it is an unexpected monument to shortsightedness, impatience, and the ugliest flavor of privilege.

Privilege? To pay more than anyone?

 

[Bergs]

Reds vs Orioles is a spectacular baseball showcase

I have switched over (CIN feed).

 

[E5 Yaz]

Hambone is a common nickname for people named Hamilton.

Ah, didn't know that

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Only "baseball guys" are going to notice that a walk is good.

 

[Bergs]

Privilege? To pay more than anyone?

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Ah, didn't know that

At least it was in Chelmsford in the 90's!

 

[dhappy42]

When was the last tie a Sox starter pitched 7?

 

[Bergs]

When was the last tie a Sox starter pitched 7?

Innings or earned runs?

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Devers and Wong swinging at the first pitch after a walk the last two innings.

 

[The Gray Eagle]

Jacques Rocks.

Frere Jacques put up 2.1 scoreless IP, making him the least sucky Red Sox player of the night so far.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Devers and Wong swinging at the first pitch after a walk the last two innings.

Lack of discipline

 

[teddywingman]

Yeah, well, I can't afford to go to Fenway again. This whole "rebuild the farm" thing is a fucking joke that you're buying.

 

[derekson]

The deadline selling will be the thing that proves if Bloom is good

 

[The Gray Eagle]

Forget it Jacques, it's Red Sox town.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Forget it Jacques, it's Red Sox town.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Number 9 hitters get on base? When did this start to be a thing?

 

[LogansDad]

He is so, so good.

 

[The Gray Eagle]

So much for Jacques being effective. He was good, then he was bad. The Two Jacques.

Another hit for Arraez.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Frere Jacques put up 2.1 scoreless IP, making him the least sucky Red Sox player of the night so far.

Good timing, that

 

[Hyde Park Factor]

Cora needs a new tailor. Too much cling

 

[E5 Yaz]

So much for Jacques being effective. He was good, then he was bad. The Two Jacques.

He could have been a contenda

 

[Bergs]

Yeah, well, I can't afford to go to Fenway again.

How your cashflow is the responsibility of anyone in the Red Sox organization is a bit of a mystery to me. As is the underlying premise that you *could* afford to go to Fenway if Chaim Bloom wasn't such a horrible GM.

This whole "rebuild the farm" thing is a fucking joke that you're buying.

Is it funny? I'm not "buying" anything...well except mlbtv I suppose.

It has been 5 years since the Red Sox won a World Series. Before that, it had been 5 years since the Red Sox had won a World Series. Before that, it had been 6 years since the Red Sox had won a World Series. Before that, it had been 3 years since the Red Sox had won a World Series. Before that, it had been 86 fucking years since the Red Sox had won a World Series.

These are indeed dark days.
