7/1 Blame Chicago ...

[BigEazy]

Smash the fuck out of one, Franchy

 

[moretsyndrome]

Youks comes out with “Nice piece o’ hittin’!” quite a bit. I love that phrase myself but hope he doesn’t overdo it.

 

[patinorange]

Somebody got a message to the dugout after the previous Story at bat where they threw him nothing but breaking shit. "Throw fastballs up, he can't hit them."

 

[YTF]

Zach Kelly may be worth a shot.

If he's any good at all he should already be on a plane to Chicago and either Robles or Deikman should return to his hotel room to find his bags waiting in the hall and cab fare taped to the locked door.

 

[ngruz25]

Franchy fouling off that 1-2 pitch is honestly such a huge development for him. That was exactly the pitch he would wildly swing and miss on with two strikes last season.

 

[ngruz25]

Lol I think Franchy stared down the pitcher for celebrating the strikeout.

 

[Back Bay]

Vaz with a surprise Hr here

Yes, he has gone from total bust to somewhat mediocre. Let's hope the improvement keeps going.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Vaz with a surprise Hr here

A head full of dreams?

 

[catsooey]

Franchy has definitely taken a few steps forward.

 

[strek1]

I go out of the house for a while to come home and see we got "ROBLE-IZED".

 

[InsideTheParker]

Wow, that pitch seemed high and inside to me.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

This ump is ass. Absurd strike zone, and his antics are tired.

Coraed

 

[patinorange]

So, their bullpen is better? At least they throw strikes.

 

[soxhop411]

 

[YTF]

A head full of dreams?

More like a briefcase full of blues.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Wow, that pitch seemed high and inside to me.

Possibly but, then again, Ball 2 could easily have been called Strike 3

 

[mauidano]

Perfect high strike. Vaz wouldn’t have caught up with it anyway.

 

[GB5]

Vaz wasn’t seeing him well. He usually swings at everything, yet took all 6 pitches in that at bat

 

[E5 Yaz]

More like a briefcase full of blues.

Belushi was pitching?

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

9 Sox have hits, compared to 4 Cubs. Yet, here we are

 

[Manramsclan]

The whole late call bullshit is tired

 

[catsooey]

Why did they remove the strike zone box? It looked high and inside to me too.

 

[patinorange]

Wow, that pitch seemed high and inside to me.

Strike.

 

[Manramsclan]

More Sawamura. Wonderful.

 

[Manramsclan]

Why did they remove the strike zone box? It looked high and inside to me too.

I don't know why, but they have no longer been showing it on the regular feed. Only on replays.

 

[YTF]

Belushi was pitching?

Well Jake and Elwood were from the area.

 

[Norm Siebern]

I know this is all perception and a reaction to today and the games in Toronto, but why does it seem to me that nearly every team in MLB brings in reliever after reliever who throws 98 on the black, and the Red Sox bring in ... Hansel Robles? Frustrating as hell.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Well Jake and Elwood were from the area.

Fair enough

When legend becomes fact ... print the legend

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Good lord

 

[Coachster]

That's why Franchy couldn't stick as a shortstop

 

[E5 Yaz]

Albec could do that

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

Albec could do that

Didn’t he write

Who’s Afraid of the Red Sox Bullpen?

 

[reggiecleveland]

Albec could do that

 

[E5 Yaz]

Welp, Sawamura held them in check

 

[InsideTheParker]

Sawamura has acquitted himself nicely. If only no Robles......

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

I like our chances against Rod Beck in the 9th.

 

[Norm Siebern]

Pissing away winnable games is not a good long term plan when you play in the AL East.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

This ump is ass. Absurd strike zone, and his antics are tired.

The whole late call bullshit is tired

The verdict is in: Tired

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

Please tell me Hassan’s election is really soon.

 

[Manramsclan]

The verdict is in: Tired

*yawns*

 

[catsooey]

I don't know why, but they have no longer been showing it on the regular feed. Only on replays.

It’s probably to keep the umps from looking bad in front of a large audience. Wonder if it’s something their union negotiates for in contracts.

 

[Max Power]

Robles can throw 98. Doesn't seem to do him very good.

 

[patinorange]

Davis Robertson? Holy shit

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

FACK!

 

[Manramsclan]

Robertson thought it was out

 

[patinorange]

Robertson thought it was out

Forgot he wasn't in the Toilet.

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

Steven Tyler in the crowd?
