Am I missing the point of irony? I’m complaining about the fans/posters not the team.
8/7 The Big 10
- Thread starter E5 Yaz
- Start date
Hey guys. The Sox won on a walk off. Let there be dancing in the streets, drinking in the saloons, and necking in the parlor!
"Well, everyone knows the Red Sox have a better record than the Royals. What this post presupposes is... maybe they don't."
Red Sox Walk off grand slams this century:
Rico Brogna (2000)
Travis Shaw (2021)
Franchy Cordero (2022)
Pablo Reyes (2023)
Combined career bWAR — 6.9

Can it be necking in the saloons, drinking in the streets, and dancing in the parlor? Or is that just asking for many misdemeanors?
I know not this century... but I remember Mo with a dramatic one.
EDIT - looking it up shows it capped a 7 run 9th, for a 9-7 win.

Mo only finished with 10 GS in his career, (abovewas #7), but 3 Red Sox in top 9 all-time

Actually, three one-time Red Sox pitchers pitched for the Mariners in that game
Spring of 98 I was an undergrad in upstate NY. Unless that game was an ESPN game of the day (possible) that I was able to watch in the Student Union, I am not sure how I would have seen that... but I remember it.
Yeah, look at that. And our manager’s big brother led off the Fenway year with the first at bat.
On the heels of a "masterful" pitching performance the day before. Has Ohtani ever pitched the 9th inning in one game, then hit a walk-off granny in the following?
I really enjoyed the Boston Reyes Sox last night. If he is gone, I will be sad. I know they can't/won't do it, but wouldn't everybody miss Urias less than either Reyes or Chang?
Urias has been here for like 3 games or something. He's a good player outside of the injury he is dealing with this year. Give him some time.
You know what struck me watching that video? How the lack of an enforced pitch/batter clock heightens TV's ability to ramp up the drama.
We got Urias to be our starting 2B, why would we want to ditch him rather than one of the backups?
I like Chang's defense and all, but that bat has been truly atrocious.
Even though Yu Chang is [hyperbole] singlehandedly responsible for the Red Sox even being within sight of being within sight of a playoff spot [/hyperbole], his time may have come. Like the pace-setter in a distance race, the domestique in a mountain stage of a grand tour cycle race, or the first stage of a Saturn V rocket, he has done his job.
I like Chang.... but I don't see what he brings to the table over either of Reyes or Urias. The defense might be an iota better, but the offense isn't close enough to what the others can possibly bring. Reyes also in a break-glass-emergency can handle CF too (although if glass is broken I'd rather see Rafaela out there)
Yes it will. It will be as difficult as it was losing Remy. Joe is already on a limited schedule doing only home games if I'm not mistaken.
I was at that game. 15 Ks for Randy Johnson through 8 and Pinella went to the bullpen for the ninth. I was sitting behind the Mariners bullpen with my dad and brother. As soon as Slocumb got up to warm, it livened up the crowd immediately. It was also Good Friday so they didn’t sell beer at the game. Needless to say, the crowd snuck in plenty of their own booze so they could imbibe. Mo’s walkoff was an incredible moment to witness in person.
That season was basically the end of my "youth." By the end of it, I was in grad school, and then career time. My memories of that game, and the people I watched it with, and the bar we watched it at, mean the world to me.
