8/5 at KC

[Ergo]

Gee. A first baseman.

Hi guys - long time lurker - first post.

 

[Beomoose]

Jerked that one a little too hard, left with an unsatisfactory finish

 

[budcrew08]

And it seemingly never gets addressed. Mind-boggling.

Maybe that’s a football mentality, as a coach, I want the kids to go 100 percent, even if they mess up. Maybe it’s different for baseball.

@absintheofmalaise is going to tell you to keep the masturbation jokes on the main board

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Verdugo would have been out at third no matter how hard he was running.

 

[Sprowl]

I'm impressed by Hosmer's immaculately trimmed beard.

And the RBI too.

 

[Gash Prex]

Some on this forum tried to argue that Hosmer was barely better than Dalbec and that’s clearly not true

 

[Ale Xander]

JFc

JBJ would have had it

 

[LesterFan]

Lol Duran. So bad.

I’m hoping we still get to see Casas get some time with the big league club this year, but yeah it’s no contest compared to the other guys

 

[patinorange]

Painful

 

[InsideTheParker]

Obligatory JBJWHHT post.

 

[MuzzyField]

Useless speed.

 

[budcrew08]

Hey look at what happens when you run hard!

 

[Ergo]

Duran. He is an outfielder?

 

[Comfortably Lomb]

Duran sucks so much. I hate so much. He is such a pile of suck. At least he ran after it this time instead of moping like the giant pile of suck he is.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Speaking of shitty reads on fly balls.

 

[Heating up in the bullpen]

JBJ catches that… easily

 

[Beomoose]

Duran kinda sucks

 

[JCizzle]

Not sure Duran is the answer to an OF spot next year, unfortunately.

 

[Sprowl]

JBJ woulda had it.

 

[strek1]

Get him OUT of Center field!

 

[barclay]

Duran! Showing why he won't be a red sox for too much longer. Good God!

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Duran is quickly climbing the list of my least favorite Sox players ever.

 

[MuzzyField]

Obligatory JBJWHHT post.

Amen!

I may get that embroidered on a throw pillow.

 

[strek1]

JBJ woulda had it.

A LOT of people would have had it.

 

[Comfortably Lomb]

Even Duran’s arm tattoo sucks. The guy is walking suck.

 

[Gash Prex]

That was not an easy catch for Duran but one a good centerfielder makes

 

[Ale Xander]

Cordero would have missed that

or Buckner (too soon)

 

[Ergo]

Duran. Outfielders are supposed to catch the fly balls, I think.

 

[scotian1]

Sadly, not a great center fielder.

 

[A Bad Man]

Come back Kiké!

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Shit. Franchy would have had that.

 

[barclay]

Serious question for fun between innings. Say you are Bloom and you have to decide between re-signing Wacha or Eovaldi or neither. What do you do?

 

[Heating up in the bullpen]

Crddanne Rafael for CF 2023

 

[Ergo]

Shit. Franchy would have had that.

Franchy. Or your cousin. Or the guy down the street.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

See how Wacha does and then decide.

 

[Gash Prex]

Crddanne Rafael for CF 2023

this I can get behind - Rafeal is like JBJ with a little more athleticism and a little less natural instincts

 

[Ale Xander]

He’s gonna be batting .005 soon

 

[InsideTheParker]

Even Duran’s arm tattoo sucks. The guy is walking suck.

Don't hold back, now. They say that suppressing anger and annoyance is bad for your mental health.

 

[Looch]

That’s an example of Youks’ shortcoming in this role. He has to say something critical about that Duran fail as Eck and Remy would have done even as they root for the Sox.

 

[Beomoose]

If you're 0 for 27, why you jawing at the ump? He's not going to hear shit you have to say.

 

[scotian1]

Cora should know that Sanchez can't hit left or righthanded pitching.

 

[InsideTheParker]

That’s an example of Youks’ shortcoming in this role. He has to say something critical about that Duran fail as Eck and Remy would have done even as they root for the Sox.

Maybe the director should give him some direction?

 

[Ale Xander]

Sanchez is the thesis for why there should be a designated fielder in baseball

 

[barclay]

See how Wacha does and then decide.

Wacha was part of a no-hitter in WOOOO-ster but I get your point. Wait for a few months. OK. thats legit. Forgot one other option: sign both of them. BTW this is not in the ether of abstraction. Bloom will be faced with this problem.

 

[Comfortably Lomb]

Duran is the suckiest suck who ever sucked a suck. Nice AB suck face.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

I understand Duran does well in the weight room.

 

[Beomoose]

If there was a market for Duran, Bloom shoulda taken the best offer he had at 5:59 and moved on.

Kids got great hands
