7/7/2023 Oakland @ Boston - Hey, Let's Find The Stroke!

[Sin Duda]

I once had a phone conversation with Charlie Finley about making orange baseballs. Fascinating guy, and pretty much certifiably nuts.

Do tell!

 

[InsideTheParker]

ITP’s crush looks to be opening

How many guys will Cora let him pitch to? Three?
Does this move actually fool opposing managers into stacking their teams with righties? Does Oakland actually have that option?

 

[Ale Xander]

Oakland Cubbies Oakland Metropolitans

I look Forward to be in 2nd place in the ALE by11pm 7/23

“The official mayonnaise of the Boston Red Sox”

 

[Ale Xander]

“The official mayonnaise of the Boston Red Sox”

I repeat, is McGuire back?

 

[Doc Zero]

“The official mayonnaise of the Boston Red Sox”

 

[Doc Zero]

OK someone at the top definitely told the announcers to talk about how amazing the Fenway atmosphere is, right?

 

[Ale Xander]

That's not how baseball works. By that standard, the A's have already completely humiliated the Braves by winning a series against them, and thoroughly embarrassed Tampa by beating them 2 out of 4.

They are bad, but they are major leaguers trying their hardest. They have already beaten much better teams than ours multiple times.

Their leadoff hitter is batting .195

Not sure they’re major leaguers

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Bernardino looks dominant.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Ort is DFA-resistant. You have to use something stronger like penicillin.

So it would seem

 

[Al Zarilla]

Umpire is not Boiled Ass.

 

[YTF]

OK someone at the top definitely told the announcers to talk about how amazing the Fenway atmosphere is, right?

Yeah, they were talking it up in the pregame interview with Cora.

 

[Ale Xander]

Cambridge Pavers grandpa definitely is though

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Sam "Not For" Long can't contain the incandescent JU$TIN TURNER!

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Duck on the pond for the resurgent Adam Duvall.

 

[InsideTheParker]

I don't think it's wise to go on and on about how "bad" the team from Oakland is.

 

[Ale Xander]

Gallego Weiss would have made that

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

I repeat, is McGuire back?

No

 

[Ale Xander]

Rooker and the stupid MLB rules are stealing a spot from someone

 

[E5 Yaz]

So's Kenley

 

[Ale Xander]

So's Kenley

Yup. Still pissed about that.
Devers could DH
Or send Verdugo and have Hays DH

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

I love the man, but Wake is excruciating in the booth.

 

[Salem's Lot]

Wow Mark Kotsay got old

 

[Harry Hooper]

Whew, good thing he gloved that to get the 3rd out.

 

[Ale Xander]

bb showing speed

 

[InsideTheParker]

Wow Mark Kotsay got old

If you're lucky, it'll happen to you.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

That was a smooth play, but not as smooth as the great taste of a Chesterfield. The official cigarette of the Boston Red Sox.

 

[YTF]

Really cool that we get multiple, nightly reminders of old man Wakefield's struggles with modern day baseball lingo as well as the small triumphs he's had in keeping up with the cool kids.

 

[InsideTheParker]

That was a smooth play, but not as smooth as the great taste of a Chesterfield. The official cigarette of the Boston Red Sox.

What's the official chewing tobacco? Devers going to do an endorsement?

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Wow, Hernandez with hits on consecutive nights. Gotta cash in!

 

[Al Zarilla]

Signs of hitting prowess again by Kikè!

 

[Ale Xander]

Speed!

 

[Bergs]

I love the man, but Wake is excruciating in the booth.

Yeuh.

Or is it "yah"? Or "yuh"?

He actually has 2 or 3 flavors of saying "yeah," but none of them should be spelled "y-e-a-h".

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

What's the official chewing tobacco? Devers going to do an endorsement?

Gotta be Red Man

 

[Al Zarilla]

Don't K Tris.

 

[JM3]

He makes it sound so ominous...

[Harry Hooper]

Nice take on the 2-2

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

The extremely discerning Triston Casas draws a clutch walk.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Good AB

 

[Bergs]

Nice PA by Tristan.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Casas taking that walk took a lot of moxie. Moxie, the official soda of the Boston Red Sox.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Hey, let's find the stroke!
Let's find the Oakland stroke!

[Bergs]

Funky cold delivery on this kid.

 

[Moviegoer]

What's the official chewing tobacco? Devers going to do an endorsement?

It could chew, gum, and seed all at the same time. I seriously hope he's got a world class dentist.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Ugh

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Yu Chang (Yu Chang)
Your place in this world
Yu Chang (Yu Chang Yu Chang)
Your place in this world

 

[Bergs]

What a shit AB by Wong.

 

[patinorange]

He just can't lay off that pitch.

 

[YTF]

Cha Chang!!!
