7/2 - Clinch the Season Series Today!!

[Al Zarilla]

If Wong knocks these two in, he's the player of the month.
3 now.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Wong is all mitt, no hit.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

FUCK!

 

[Harry Hooper]

Strikeouts galore.

 

[S. H. Frog]

drat

 

[Rovin Romine]

Squandah

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Man our catchers whiff a lot

 

[patinorange]

Wong is a very limited offensive player.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Bottom of the order is putrid.

 

[Beomoose]

That guy was throwing 2 feet inside but Wong got out of the way...

 

[dhappy42]

Pathetic.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Wong is a very limited offensive player.

Two outcomes. And usually one.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Wong is all mitt, no hit.

Caleb Hamilton makes him look like Josh Gibson, though.

 

[strek1]

Man our catchers whiff a lot

The whole team whiffs a lot.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Whizzed opportunity after opportunity right down their leg.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Fuck you DOB.

 

[S. H. Frog]

double drat

 

[Ale Xander]

That was Belted

 

[JCizzle]

It's dfa time for Kiké. It will never happen with Cora at the helm.

I think there’s a GM/President of Baseball Operations above him that makes that call?

 

[budcrew08]

Immediately give up a homer after a squander. Yuck

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Fuck you DOB.

 

[ColdSoxPack]

DOB is operating at a Jack Edwards- level of disconnect..

 

[patinorange]

I have a hard time hating Vlad Jr.

 

[Rovin Romine]

The whole team whiffs a lot.

I didn't know one way or the other so I looked it up - we're well below average (in a good sense) in strikeouts: https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/AL/2023.shtml#teams_standard_batting::16

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

I have a hard time hating Vlad Jr.

I find it comes easy.

 

[S. H. Frog]

Yikes. Vlad stealing bases, ugh

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

I think there’s a GM/President of Baseball Operations above him that makes that call?

Cora would quit on the spot if they did that imo. That's why I said what I said.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Fuck you DOB.

I have the sound off, but aren't the players on the field making the difference? Pivetta gave up a homer to a guy who's clearly hot at the moment. Our defensively fine catcher struck out with the bases loaded----no surprise there. When your starting pitcher leaves after one inning, this is what you get, as a general rule.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Cora would quit on the spot if they did that imo.

Sounds like a win-win.

 

[ColdSoxPack]

After we leave the bases loaded.

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Sounds like a win-win.

After I posted and reread, I was mulling over the possible upsides of such a predicament.

 

[S. H. Frog]

Don't know how "off the top" is not a home run.

 

[patinorange]

Well, watching Duran today has been fun.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Duran needs to bat more than once per inning, so we can be sure he scores.

 

[ngruz25]

Beautiful camera work.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Very nice swing by Duran there.

 

[JCizzle]

DURAN

 

[S. H. Frog]

sweet little pos flare

 

[patinorange]

Sweet. Great read by Duran.

 

[Ale Xander]

When did Wade Boggs find the fountain of youth, get faster, and learn to play the OF?

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Shades of Trot Nixon indenting the top of the wall at Yankee Stadium.

 

[InsideTheParker]

OK, I feel a little bit hopeful. Should I suppress that?

 

[JCizzle]

Win this one gents!!

 

[Harry Hooper]

Duran needs to bat more than once per inning, so we can be sure he scores.

Nice

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

CRACK ONE RIGHT THE FUCK RIGHT OUT OF THIS SHITHOLE, ALEX!

 

[JCizzle]

OK, I feel a little bit hopeful. Should I suppress that?

We might get one more Duran AB, so hope away!

 

[Curt S Loew]

Any of you think this is a playoff team?

I'm just here for the Double Duran.

Seriously, there's a lot to like about this team without worrying about a playoff spot.

 

[Scoops Bolling]

Beautiful!

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Speed kills!

 

[Dim13]

Basepath aggression!
