8/1 - Open the Month with a Win

[E5 Yaz]

Didn't Dominic Canzone play Amanda Seyfried's love interest in Mamma Mia!?

 

[E5 Yaz]

Whatever you do don't open the Trade Deadline Approach thread.

Even if I wear a HazMat suit?

 

[SoxFanInPdx]

Change the name of the Trade Deadline Approach thread to Greek Gods of Whining

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Nobody was covering the bag.

 

[OnWisc]

Didn't Dominic Canzone play Amanda Seyfried's love interest in Mamma Mia!?

He looks like he played the shortstop in a movie about a plucky high school team.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Nobody was covering the bag.

Is that the "nobody" we got at the trade deadline?

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Is that the "nobody" we got at the trade deadline?

No. Arroyo went out to be the cut off man while Chang was being the cut off man to the cut off man. Nobody was at 2nd.

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Big time from Bello. Ace stuff for battling when he didn't haven't in the first, didn't shit himself, and now, has it.

 

[E5 Yaz]

No. Arroyo went out to be the cut off man while Chang was being the cut off man to the cut off man. Nobody was at 2nd.

Casas was busy counting the stars in the sky. One of the memories of my childhood fandom was watching The Boomer run to second with the batter heading to second on a double.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Let's gooooo!!!

 

[JOBU]

Damn he’s fast as fucking balls

 

[Remagellan]

This kid is electric.

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Duran is a marvel. The guy rolls out of bed thinking two and drops a deuce

 

[Tokyo Sox]

Damn he’s fast as fucking balls

Jesus H Hustledouble. Wow.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Damn he’s fast as fucking balls

Prom night

 

[twibnotes]

OK that was nuts

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Fuck I love the aggressive baserunning

 

[OnWisc]

Gotta keep the tag applied, guy.

 

[Bergs]

Long Lasting!

 

[twibnotes]

I approve of that bomb

 

[RoDaddy]

"This kid is electric."

Is he the fastest Sox ever?"

 

[JOBU]

About fucking time

 

[reggiecleveland]

Maybe he's back

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

I thought Verdugo would never homer again. Glad to be wrong!

 

[Remagellan]

DUGIE!!!!

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Boom

 

[hunter05]

Verdugo getting hot would be tremendous

 

[patinorange]

Yes. Break out of it Duggie.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

I am getting more whelmed and gruntled as this game goes on.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

LFG

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Those last two ABs made me very happy.

 

[reggiecleveland]

Is he the fastest Sox ever?

EFHFJEW

 

[OnWisc]

I hope Duran ran as aggressively after the ball cleared the fence.

 

[Deweys New Stance]

WHY DIDN'T CHAIM TRADE VERDUGO AND PAXTON I'M OUT ON THIS TEAM!!!

 

[E5 Yaz]

All those dorks who gave up after the first inning look silly now

 

[FlexFlexerson]

Well, doesn't seem like Bloom lost the clubhouse to chicken and beer part deux or anything. Love the offense so far tonight.

 

[Doc Zero]

Oh man..

According to Scherzer, “I was like, ‘OK, are we reloading for 2024?’ [Eppler] goes, ‘No, we’re not. Basically our vision now is for 2025-2026, ’25 at the earliest, more like ’26. We’re going to be making trades around that.’ I was like, ‘So the team is not going to be pursuing free agents this offseason or assemble a team that can compete for a World Series next year?’ He said, ‘No, we’re not going to be signing the upper-echelon guys. We’re going to be on the smaller deals within free agency. ‘24 is now looking to be more of a kind of transitory year.’ ”

 

[Bergs]

Now that the deadline has passed, I am hoping for Dugie to go on a tear.

Nah.

 

[Just a bit outside]

Bryce Miller throwing 96 the first 3 innings vs 93 the last couple of innings is a very different pitcher.

 

[Deweys New Stance]

All those dorks who gave up after the first inning look silly now

To be fair, they looked silly then too.

 

[twibnotes]

Duran is a marvel. The guy rolls out of bed thinking two and drops a deuce

most of us drop a deuce after we get out of bed

 

[JOBU]

most of us drop a deuce after we get out of bed

I’m more of a mid to late AM guy have I have a couple of cups of coffee

 

[moonshotmanny]

Dugie!!!

 

[OnWisc]

I don’t think “America’s Leanest Bacon” is a selling point.

 

[twibnotes]

Really just want to see Raffy solidify his fielding and stop swinging at bad pitches over the balance of the year

for all the exciting young talent, I confess to be a bit worried about raffy’s play

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Oh man..

The Guardians got out on Lindor at the perfect time - he just lost most of his hitting. That contract is a big issue.

Not sure why their strategy would really be this with their owner and Ohtani going on the market, though.

 

[E5 Yaz]

The Sox were due for and easy night.

 

[Remagellan]

Oh man..

That tells me they must believe that Ohtani is staying in SoCal (Dodgers, Angels, or Padres).

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Wooderson's done.

 

[E5 Yaz]

I don’t think “America’s Leanest Bacon” is a selling point.

You can have it in the morning with "America's Weakest Coffee"
