9/30 - I'll Huff and I'll Puff. . .

[Rovin Romine]

I will be out of pocket much of tomorrow, so I will start this now, noting there are are many glues in the world, some social, and some more literal. You can huff both, but the literal ones are in play here as evidenced by:

Kaleb Ort. Closer.

What's next? Bobby Dalbec at SS? Getting Eric Hosmer in play for the final push to where-ever-it-is-we're-going?

Regardless of the particular disordered realities the Sox embrace, taking Alek Manoah down a peg or two is worth assembling the finest collection of non-medical-science-adverse players we can muster.

Let's go get 'em. Even if -no- especially if there are two last minute additions from Worcester.

 

[joe dokes]

Win it for Elmer.

Table Talk and Smiley Ball?

 

[InsideTheParker]

Let's go get 'em. Even if -no- especially if there are two last minute additions from Worcester.

What positions might those two play?
Geaux, Sox, whoever you are!

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

The revenge tour continues. After burying Baltimore, it’s time to knock Toronto out of the first WC spot.

 

[Papo The Snow Tiger]

I wonder if Duran ever did get his shot.

Jarren Duran says he'll be available for Red Sox next time team plays in Toronto - CBS Boston (cbsnews.com)

 

[Max Power]

He did. He's coming up with Bryan Mata and Josh Winckowski.

I haven't seen word on who is choosing not to play tonight.

Canada ended the requirement

Cora:
"I did some research and it'll be okay to send him out there on Tuesday to throw 175 pitches."

 

[DeadlySplitter]

[Ale Xander]

Duran is back? Why?

And does Aubrey Huff play for the Blue Jays? I don't get the title.

 

[Rovin Romine]

Duran leading off!?! Oh no…..

I'm glad they're calling Duran up. He had a .749 OPS for Worcester in September. A week in the majors is a small sample size, but if he's going to implode, now is better than next year.

Also, did you take my glue? I saw you looking at my glue!!!

If he implodes, it will be harder to trade him in offseason.

Don;t play him and trade him to someone with tons of young pitchers for a bullpen piece, ideally with options.

He could snap, beat the shit out of Manoah and then who wouldn't want him? Win all around I'd say!

Sniff, sniff. . .wheeze.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Duran leading off!?! Oh no…..

Anything wrong with Hernandez?

 

[S. H. Frog]

Oh hell, it's this shemp talking all through the game?

 

[InsideTheParker]

It would have been nicer to have Middlebrooks alongside Monaco. Hope he's not on "the restricted list."

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Duran was called up because Ort is on the restricted list. :/

 

[InsideTheParker]

Anything wrong with Hernandez?

Oh, I guess they're saying Manoah has a reverse split.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Duran was called up because Ort is on the restricted list. :/

Someone has me on ignore

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

X really rose to the challenge of winning the batting title, huh?

 

[teddywingman]

That curve doesn't have much bite.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Nice technique there McGuire. Try turning your mitt around next time.

I'm guessing Almonte is starting because Pham isn't joining the team till tomorrow.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Where's the moral outrage?

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Where's the moral outrage?

It exited stage right.

But they made something a requirement before signing Story. Didn't they make anything a requirement for Pham? They like him better?

 

[InsideTheParker]

Mazz thinks he's more likely to be approached by fans than Monaco. Yeah, to be kicked in the knee, maybe.

 

[E5 Yaz]

It exited stage right.

Followed by a bear

 

[catomatic]

Followed by a bear

A sad tale’s best for winter.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

According to Webster it's only Ort. Probably just a case of RH hitter vs LH hitter.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Mazz seriously bores me. Snooze.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Mazz needs to hold a mirror in front of his mouth to show he's alive instead of talking all the time.

 

[JCizzle]

Monaco having some trouble judging fly balls tonight. The second time he thought it was heading more towards center than right.

 

[Coachster]

Just got home, turned the game on, and see that f’ing Duran is playing.

I’m out.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Monaco having some trouble judging fly balls tonight. The second time he thought it was heading more towards center then right.

He's being distracted by the buzz saw next to him in the booth.

So is Joe. Are they actually there?

 

[JCizzle]

Too true. I'd be hammered trying to call the game.

 

[JCizzle]

So is Joe. Are they actually there?

I think so, but I haven't seen a booth shot yet since I've been watching

 

[MuzzyField]

Are there some micro-glues that make for better sniffing?

 

[JCizzle]

That ball was destroyed

 

[mauidano]

Hope no one got hurt by that laser shot into the second deck by Vlad.

 

[InsideTheParker]

OK. You know, being ready to take the ball frequently isn't the highest compliment for a pitcher. I think I'll go back to the book I'm reading. There's a comic character in there who talks even more than Mazz. but at least she's funny.

 

[MuzzyField]

Laser show. I hope the fan survives the ball removal surgery.

 

[patinorange]

Nick answers the bell every fifth day. That's all I got.

 

[MuzzyField]

Bush!

 

[MuzzyField]

Fleming and DOB need to both go. A trade to the Diamondbacks for a bag of generic Black Gold.

it’s a win, win, win!

 

[MuzzyField]

NESN‘s shitty camera and production work travels well.
