Game 88
A 4 to 2 win. Simple and sweet.
Bello continues to look elite.
The Sox looked “O-tay” (to quote Buckwheat.)
If we play this way we can compete.
Texas doesn’t seem that hard to beat.
Make Nate’s return a short meet and greet.
Hand them an Alamo-like defeat.
A streak till the break would be a treat.
Let’s do it again. Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

Nate has seen those pricks and they are themselves.

WTF is Duvall starting over Duran in CF? Make no sense from a matchup standpoint. Maybe they're seeing if he can actually hit so they can trade his ass.

I was thinking this yesterday. Duran is the future, the near future. Gotta showcase Duvall. The start of the season for him was very attractive but he is likely not going to finish the season with the Red Sox.

This caused me to immediately check to see if Nate was a southpaw even though I knew he wasn't! Wonder if Cora will get asked in his pregame interview...

aka we are trying to showcase Duvall for a trade

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

Shows you how much I know. I’d rather try hard to win the game, even if it means getting less in return for Duvall.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

“We can use Duran off the bench when we’re down 7-2 in the 8th inning.”

Don’t you know it’s all about 2025???

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

Wanting cake; wanting to eat it, too. My bad.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Have we already forgotten that the resurgent Adam Duvall had the biggest hit of the game last night? Tough crowd!

That's what I was thinking, but he's nobody's binky.

Duvall total qualifies for binky status with me. I love the man.

Pap: You give me three pitches I'll take anybody deep Jim: Pap: BET

 

[Moviegoer]

Sounds suspiciously like people are thinking Cora's lineup choices are not particularly good.

 

[simplicio]

Man, that Sale/Machado K is always just going to feel spectacular. What a gift.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Anyone remember Coors cutter?

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Crawford looks dominant.

 

[mauidano]

Crawford looks dominant.

Can field his position.

 

[joe dokes]

Can field his position.

He better, given the clowns to the left of him and the jokers to the right of him.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Eovaldi is rattled.

 

[mauidano]

Leadoff walks; you know what they say...

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Nervous Nate not so Nasty.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Alan Porter is a damn good umpire.

 

[The Gray Eagle]

I'm hoping for a repeat of one of Big Nate's most memorable nights at Fenway:

Come on Nate you can do it again!

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Bounce one, you magnificent b@$tard!

 

[mauidano]

Productive outs and that leadoff walk thing...

 

[E5 Yaz]

He better, given the clowns to the left of him and the jokers to the right of him.

Yu welcome

 

[mauidano]

Alan Porter is a damn good umpire.

What has he done for you lately?

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

David Bromstad!!!!

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Garcia can hit a little bit, but he can't field a lick.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

He better, given the clowns to the left of him and the jokers to the right of him.

As long as he's not a stealer's wheel.

 

[mauidano]

This Garcia dude is something else. He's a hitter.

 

[patinorange]

Pretty lucky that meatball stayed in the yard.

 

[E5 Yaz]

David Bromstad!!!!

Someone win the lottery?

 

[mauidano]

Aquaman is back!!!!

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

This Garcia dude is something else. He's a hitter.

Can't field a lick, though.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

This guy related to George Jung?

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Nice camera work NESN. GJGE.

 

[patinorange]

Aquaman is back!!!!

That's some serious moss.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Can't field a lick, though.

Leads the league in outfield assists

 

[mauidano]

Leads the league in outfield assists

There's a reason he's playing RF. If not for "Shotani"...

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Leads the league in outfield assists

He can hit it and throw it, just can't field it too well.

 

[nvalvo]

Can you believe the Cardinals let go Randy Arozarena *and* Adolis Garcia?

 

[E5 Yaz]

There's a reason he's playing RF. If not for "Shotani"...
