8/8 Dressed to the 9s

[twibnotes]

Hey at least we have a real SS now

“reaaaaaaaaaaaal tomato ketchup, Eddie?”

 

[Joe Shlabotnick]

I keep thinking of the boss on the "Monk" detective show every time I see Robertson

It rubs the lotion on the ball.

 

[soxin6]

So Kike has been resurgent for the Dodgers and Robertson is complete trash

 

[shawnrbu]

The Dodgers got Brasier. We got Robertson.

 

[ngruz25]

Alright so it’s not the yellow shirts after all.

 

[Rovin Romine]

How about we point our anger to our offense which has been pretty much non existent for 2 weeks.

not winning many games when we score only 2 nuns

Do the nuns win when they score or not? Seems like a technical thing.

 

[dhappy42]

The “light hitting” Kansas City Royals… oh, never mind.

 

[derekson]

So.... Reyes in for the 8th inning, I guess?

 

[patinorange]

Dead ass team

Optimist.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Next year is still more promising than it was in March.

 

[normstalls]

Blown out by KC. Humbling

Robertson was a nice find.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Alright so it’s not the yellow shirts after all.

Good one!

 

[twibnotes]

Sometimes I shop at the Under Armour and Adidas outlet stores and pick up a golf shirt for half or even a quarter of the regular retail price. I feel all good about saving money by shopping smart. I’m not a sucker that pays full retail price.

Then I get home and I find out it has a run in the fabric or doesn’t fit like it should, and I feel like an idiot for ever thinking I got a deal.

Kinda reminds me of Bloom’s pitching staff.

but your friend, we’ll call him Tam Pabay, shops there too and somehow gets the most amazing shit that has no flaws for the same low prices

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

This guy has given up as many ER for the Sox tonight as Brasier has for the Dodgers, in 20 innings.

 

[soxin6]

Can we at least fire Bush? This pitching staff is terrible and never changes anything.

 

[YTF]

Well, at least Story’s arm looks okay.

Think he might be able to toss the ball 60'6"?

At least it’s only one run in your shirt.

 

[Rovin Romine]

Robertson was a nice find.

He looks like an extra on CHiPs.

 

[LynnRice75]

We should just pitch middle infielders rather than scrap heap relievers.

 

[dhappy42]

The Dodgers got Brasier. We got Robertson.

Never imagined we’d miss Tilt.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Can we at least fire Bush? This pitching staff is terrible and never changes anything.

We love Bushy!

 

[Doc Zero]

how about one of those classic seven-run sevenths

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Tampa Bay doesn’t shop at the outlets because they want to. They do it because they have to. Trying to emulate them was always dumb.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

This baby devolved into a good old-fashioned country ass-whupping.

 

[donutogre]

Edit: can’t even post a picture right. Feels appropriate.

 

[dhappy42]

Tonight, we need two grand slams.

 

[Blizzard of 1978]

Looked out on replay.
Casas is slooow.

He need needs to ask Duran training tips.

 

[ngruz25]

Wouldn’t it be kinda funny if Reyes saved his job with an extremely unlikely last chance grand slam and then went 0 for the rest of the season?

 

[LesterFan]

The garbage pitchers getting lit up is whatever. The offense being garbage again is the biggest disappointment. Can barely scrape together a couple runs against a pitcher giving them pitches over the plate all game. Just pathetic.

 

[dhappy42]

Ok, Singe’s gone. Now, we’ve got ‘em.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Zip Rzeppa now pitching

 

[Blizzard of 1978]

Another beat down like the Blue Jays did on Sunday. Worse though because it's the Royals.

 

[Rovin Romine]

The Dodgers got Brasier. We got Robertson.

Hernandez is also hitting for them.

I think it's time to consider that the Sox coaches may not be the best at adapting to player needs. That said, Casas, Duran, and Yoshida seem to be thriving. On every day but Tuesday.

 

[Bergs]

At least it’s only one run in your shirt.

Nice.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Bunt to the vacated 3B.

Edit: doubles are good too.

 

[Rovin Romine]

Duran. Who'd have thought it at this time last year?

 

[E5 Yaz]

This guy's so bad, he could pitch for us

 

[Harry Hooper]

This guy's so bad, he could pitch for us

Next season.

 

[ngruz25]

I didn’t realize how big Robertson is until he was standing next to Casas.

6’6”, 235 lbs apparently.

 

[E5 Yaz]

@alexspeier
The Royals have 6 steals, the most allowed in one game by the Red Sox since Sept. 6, 2013, when the Yankees swiped 6 in a game.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Casas needs those rocket booster shoes Wile E Coyote used.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

To be fair, Royals have always been thieving bastards throughout history.

 

[Blizzard of 1978]

Hernandez is also hitting for them.

Agreed. Time to move on from Cora and his coaches. This team over the last few years is the worst Red Sox team defense ever, plus bone head plays on the base paths. In other words Cora and his coaches don't prepare good.

 

[Bergs]

Fuck you, blue.

 

[Rovin Romine]

Even if Story hits a homer here, he's not yet been an upgrade over Chang.

I mean, seriously - let the man get his timing down before he comes up.

 

[twibnotes]

There have been some horrible ball/strike calls tonight

isn’t this the right time for Cora to raise a stink and maybe get rung?

 

[twibnotes]

wasn’t he only eligible for one more rehab start?

 

[Rovin Romine]

6’6”, 235 lbs apparently.

His ERA makes him look even bigger.

 

[E5 Yaz]

I mean, seriously - let the man get his timing down before he comes up.

Unfortunately, tonight would have been the last night he could have been on rehab assignment

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Fuck you, blue.

This!
