7/31 - The Mariner's Revenge Song (cover by the Boston Red Sox)

Raffy was truly worth every damn penny of that extension

 

[Bergs]

Devers run meant nothing ... you walk him and set up force plays.

Cora gets shit for his moved, but that was dumb on Servais's part ... thank goodness

100%. Especially went it went 2-0.

No idea why you would pitch to him. But thanks.

 

[mikeot]

WADAH you can believe in!

 

[melonheadpablo]

dirty dirty dirty watah... badly needed now lets get big in Texas

 

[TrotNixonRing]

God we needed that WATAH!!!

 

[Comfortably Lomb]

Raffy OPS pretty close to... checks notes... 1.100 the past two months. Seems good!

 

[Archer1979]

WMass Wet Water!!!

 

[LogansDad]

Whoo yeah. That was a remarkably unpleasant win to watch.

In a lot of ways, I feel like this would have been an extraordinary game to watch in September. All I really want each season is to see as many meaningful games as possible, and by the time September comes around, you have already seen almost a full season of important and meaningful games, so while losing sucks, you have at least had a lot more to appreciate.

But at the end of July, when it feels like the chance to stay in the playoff race is slipping away a bit... yeah, I agree, this was painful.

Lou took the words out of my mouth: They needed that.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Handedness, I guess.

 

[Dewey's 'stache]

Had to take shelter due to a Tornado warning in Omaha NE. What did I miss?

 

[fenwaypaul]

I’ve been hard on Kelly, but it gives me a warm feeling to see him enjoying a bit of redemption in this NESN interview.

 

[LogansDad]

Even against your 2nd favorite team?

Yes. My 2nd favorite team is far, far behind the Red Sox on my "cheering to win" metric.

If a pitcher is removed from a game due to injury, his replacement can take longer to warm up than a usual reliever.

 

[LogansDad]

Agreed. Can't believe they pitched to him. I felt exactly the same way when Cora let Slaten start his career by pitching to J-Rod in game 3 of the season with a base empty. I guess it's just payback.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Maybe they didn’t like the matchup of Refsnyder vs the lefty. I don’t know. Servais is dumb.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Given that I'm on year 42 of my Rumspringa, I can't get too mad.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Hey! Devers!



I don't understand this reference. I usually don't admit that, but I like you and I'm feeling feisty and trying to care less what people think.

And if this is a slur about the fact that I'm Amish, I'm reporting you to a mod.

I like you too so I'll make sure it gets the consideration it deserves.

 

[Heating up in the bullpen]

If a pitcher is removed from a game due to injury, his replacement can take longer to warm up than a usual reliever.

All the time he requires, to be exact

 

[twibnotes]

Raffy becoming more selective has made him a top tier hitter in the league. Spit on two balls there and sent the first pitch off the wall.

He was always uber talented, but it’s great to see him further developing his game

 

[Sin Duda]

Yes. There have been instances of catchers intentionally bumping into batters on pop-ups near the plate, just to get the interference call. The fielder has a right to make a play on the ball, even if it is in or takes him into the basepath of the runner.

Too soon.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Now the next three weeks is every single game this season against Texas teams, Baltimore for 4 and KC for 3. Then the rest of the schedule gets easier.

 

[Sprowl]

Dirty water from a heating-up playoff race!

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Maybe this will make him feel better.

Nice symmetry. Raffy drives in the 1st run in the 1st and the last run in the 10th.

I did not have Zack Kelly getting a postgame interview on my bingo card!

"I'm going on TV? What's a TV?"

 

[DadOfFenway]

LOVE the win!! But why pitch to Devers?

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

I like you too so I'll make sure it gets the consideration it deserves.

You're nothing if not fair, I'll give you that, English.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

LOVE the win!! But why pitch to Devers?

Servais didn’t have time to warm up his brain.

 

[mauidano]

"I'm going on TV? What's a TV?"

Is Zack Kelly Amish?

 

[InsideTheParker]

Would have been nice to have Masa up in that spot.

That was my thought, exactly, to no one's surprise.

 

[InsideTheParker]

@DennyDoyle'sBoil was the victim of Amish shaming

But the funny thing is that in the after-game interview, you can see he does have a moustache or something like that above his mouth, so he's only "Amish" b/c his attempt to grow that thing is so feeble. Still, appreciate his not giving anything up to the visitors.

 

[TrotNixonRing]

I’ve been hard on Kelly, but it gives me a warm feeling to see him enjoying a bit of redemption in this NESN interview.

he’s a good pitcher with big guts. I think he’s been overworked to his detriment but I get it’s part of the JD sometimes

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

These comments from Mitch Garver after the game are really sad to hear.

The only hittable thing that half-inning was Randy Arozarena.

Was he the lead singer/songwriter/guitarist of Spirit?

No I was just trying to suss out what the update was so I didn't have to do any work myself.

And I was doing the Lassie "what is it girl, so and so fell down a well?"

I'll show myself out.

I got that reference FWIW
