8/2 - Open the Month with Another Win

[LynnRice75]

Drat.
We just needed Casas to drop that throw to complete a perfect infield disaster inning.
Pitcher, catcher, second, short, and third all did their part.

 

[dhappy42]

Too late to sell?

 

[RCheco56]

Arroyo had to run 3 steps, then misfire

3 runs. Get some back immediately. Fuck the Mariners

 

[Stu Nahan]

This trip has been an unmitigated disaster

 

[Sam Ray Not]

Suarez and Raleigh have destroyed the Sox this series

I miss Whitlock and Houck.

 

[stobo]

this is literally the stupidest team i have ever seen in 55 years of watching baseball

 

[patinorange]

Hopefully that comes in the form of Urias on Friday. No time left for Chaim to fuck around and give him more time on the roster.

Didn't he have a boatload of errors in his last MLB season? He'll fit right in.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Hopefully that comes in the form of Urias on Friday. No time left for Chaim to fuck around and give him more time on the roster.

The guy hitting .145 who was the big deadline acquisition will surely be an upgrade.

I hope bloom addresses the team and has to be accountable for his inaction.

 

[soxin6]

The Mariners have the better EIE pitcher Speier > Bleier

 

[soxin6]

Hopefully that comes in the form of Urias on Friday. No time left for Chaim to fuck around and give him more time on the roster.

You do realize that Urias sucks too, right?

 

[JOBU]

Fuck everything about the west coast, the mariners and that stupid moose. Starbucks sucks too.

 

[JCizzle]

Guys, the plan was always 2025! Kick back, relax.

 

[BaseballJones]

You do realize that Urias sucks too, right?

Does he?

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Apparently Julian McWiliams said Martin & Winck were both unavailable today. Whatever, fine. And Crawford was spotty today, whatever, fine. Bernandino hasn't earned a chance to get the 7th entirely for himself there? That's my main gripe with that whole inning.

The 5th inning basically-squander ended up putting this one to bed, shame we couldn't hold them but not a surprise honestly that Schreiber pixie dust may be over.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

So I guess Chris Martin can only throw two innings a week. Seems sub-optimal.

 

[JCizzle]

You do realize that Urias sucks too, right?

Watching new suck is more interesting than the same old suck.

 

[moonshotmanny]

We seem to never do well playing the Mariners in their park.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

The guy hitting .145 who was the big deadline acquisition will surely be an upgrade.

I hope bloom addresses the team and has to be accountable for his inaction.

Yes, he should specifically point to players and apologize for not trading them away.

 

[YTF]

Does he?

Well at least they're game threading in the game thread now

I think we’re seeing the downstream effects of the frequent bullpen games. Bernardino has pitched a whole lot recently, so you’ve gotta use the other arms in the pen.

 

[patinorange]

Agreed. The record in bull pen games is pretty good, but at some point it catches up.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Or just ask the starter pitching a shutout to go one more.

 

[patinorange]

Or just ask the starter pitching a shutout to go one more.

Crazy talk.

 

[catomatic]

Someone notable once suggested a wise course of action would be for Duvall to “SMASH ONE THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!”

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Or just ask the starter pitching a shutout to go one more.

Yeah, Crawford wasn’t perfect, but if those guys really were unavailable, you have to give him the 6th.

 

[LynnRice75]

Watching new suck is more interesting than the same old suck.

Prom night?

 

[RCheco56]

Nice AB from Devers there

If Duvall has any of his beginning of the season magic left break it out

 

[JCizzle]

My God is that JTB’s music??

 

[catomatic]

My God is that JTB’s music??

Tribute band…

 

[patinorange]

Raffi's suck doesn't seem to get him down. Smiling and laughing. I guess that's good.

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Get it to Casas.

Or don't, jackass.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Bernandino hasn't pitched since Sunday, Idon't see why he wouldn't be available.

 

[soxin6]

Watching new suck is more interesting than the same old suck.

Fair point

 

[LynnRice75]

Grrr. Should’ve taken another pitch and hoped for a walk.

 

[LesterFan]

So one of our best relievers is unavailable because he threw 8 pitches last night and 9 pitches 3 days ago.

 

[soxin6]

Bernandino hasn't pitched since Sunday, Idon't see why he wouldn't be available.

Because Cora was saving him for later in the game. That strategy was a massive fail.

 

[soxin6]

Some of our players are treated like they will break in a 3 MPH breeze

 

[catomatic]

How is it the Benny Hill play to Raffy/Chang didn’t generate an error in the box score?

 

[RCheco56]

O'Brien jinx is full force

This game is on Cora. Leave Bloom out of it. All AC needed to do was not pull Crawford. But Noooooooooo

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Duvall had some good mojo going and then the umpire inexplicably pulled him out of it.

 

[ngruz25]

Bernandino hasn't pitched since Sunday, Idon't see why he wouldn't be available.

I don’t think it’s that he’s totally unavailable, it’s just that they needed to get to him. With Martin and Winckowski unavailable, I’m assuming he would be saved for a later inning. Which did not work.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

So one of our best relievers is unavailable because he threw 8 pitches last night and 9 pitches 3 days ago.

That's apparently the case, yes.

Bloom put garbage like Bleier in the pen. He is not blameless, but Cora gets way more of it today.

 

[BaseballJones]

At only 81 pitches no less.

 

[Harry Hooper]

How is it the Benny Hill play to Raffy/Chang didn’t generate an error in the box score?

Errors (other than throwing ones) are rarely given in 2023, plus it's always been tough to give out an error on a collision play.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Tomorrow is an off day. They Sox needed to show some urgency and extend themselves to nail down a crucial win. Instead, they fucked around and found out.

 

[patinorange]

Robots!

 

[soxhop411]

The guy hitting .145 who was the big deadline acquisition will surely be an upgrade.

Devers needs to fix his fielding issues, given what he is being paid..

also has only 3 RBI's the past 2 weeks.... so he should look inward....
