Day Game Today

[Dewey's 'stache]

Steve Bartman’s Nephew is in the stands SMH

 

[Delicious Sponge]

We have reached the fellate Tampa Bay segment of the inning, again.

 

[JOBU]

That was a swing. Fuck these umps

 

[InsideTheParker]

The crowd may be small, but it's noisy in his expression of disapproval of the umpire.

Game 60
Another bad game. I have to acquit
Cora on that one. (I'm no hypocrite.)
The guys on the field made a mess of it.
Sometimes the Red Sox forget how to hit
with runners on base. Sometimes they commit
ridiculous errors that would befit
the Keystone Cops or a Benny Hill skit.
Our starters and bullpen sometimes get lit
up, so it’s hard to know which ones to sit.
Though there are days when the Sox looks like s#!t,
it's a likeable squad, semi-close-knit,
who've bounced back before, displaying true grit.
Can we show we're real and not counterfeit?
Can we restore faith and hope just a bit?
Can we survive this slide into the pit?
Can we outplay or outlast or outwit?
Can we get a win for a series split?

I like this one a bit.
And Bello is legit.

 

[YTF]

Bello looking good through 4 and with a reasonable pitch count. Hopefully we can get a minimum of 6 innings out of him.

 

[S. H. Frog]

Ooof. Nice snowcone, though.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Raley's been on Bello today

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

GODDAMNIT!​

 

[LesterFan]

Another free base given up.

 

[dhappy42]

TB runs the bases well.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Margot is hitting .999 against the Sox in his career.

 

[pk1627]

Upset at Yoshida’s throw.

 

[LesterFan]

Needed a strikeout there. No K's since the 1st.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Upset at Yoshida’s throw.

I think that's Refsnyder. Yoshida is the DH today.

 

[dhappy42]

Upset at Yoshida’s throw.

Refsnyder’s.

 

[Back Bay]

Upset at Yoshida’s throw.

from the bench?

 

[Ale Xander]

Margot is hitting .999 against the Sox in his career.

Obligatory “why don’t the Red Sox draft/int’l sign guys like this?”

 

[YTF]

Nice to see Devers hold onto that ball.

 

[LynnRice75]

I like this one a bit.
And Bello is legit.

How did I leave "legit" out of the poem???
Bello looked good early on.
Getting roughed up a bit now, though.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

This inning's been frustratin' as fvck.

 

[zenax]

.

 

[teddywingman]

Bello is the king of bad luck ground balls.

 

[E5 Yaz]

The wheels on the bus go wobble-wobble-wobble

 

[Mr Jums]

BABIP is a cruel master

 

[LesterFan]

BABIP bullshit is here.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

It would help if he could get a swing and miss.

 

[Blizzard of 1978]

This inning's been frustratin' as fvck.

The Red Sox don't seem to be good at Fenway this year. 0 runs so far in this game. Very disappointing season.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Frustratin' as fvck!

 

[Moviegoer]

It's such a shame that Cora screwed up Saturday night. It's going to be the difference between a split and losing three of four at home. A two-game swing in the record.

 

[teddywingman]

I think I like Merloni more than Youk.

 

[patinorange]

It would help if he could get a swing and miss.

I give the Rays some credit. All of them seem disciplined and smart hitters. Unlike the Sox.

 

[The Gray Eagle]

Welp, that third run just about ends it with McLanahan going. I have zero confidence that we can win this game now. Bello is probably done after this inning if he even gets out of it too.

 

[YTF]

Welp, that third run just about ends it with McLanahan going. I have zero confidence that we can win this game now. Bello is probably done after this inning if he even gets out of it too.

The bullpen is taxed, barring injury why would Bello not come out in the sixth?

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

BABIP bullshit is here.

It evens out with the home run robbery, I think. Bello has been solid, but going into the fifth, that goose egg he had tossed wasn't as impressive as you would think.

 

[JOBU]

Thank god we won that first game

 

[Back Bay]

Wait, there has been 0 HR hits in this series from both teams?

 

[Rovin Romine]

Bello looking good through 4 and with a reasonable pitch count. Hopefully we can get a minimum of 6 innings out of him.

Sigh.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

This ump is boiled ass.

 

[JOBU]

Fuck this ump

 

[The Gray Eagle]

The bullpen is taxed, barring injury why would Bello not come out in the sixth?

I must have misread the pitch count total, I thought he was at 98, not 88.

 

[YTF]

Sigh.

Yeah, I don't believe in jinxes but that was ill-advised.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Christian Arroyo can flat mash.

 

[S. H. Frog]

Nice stretch there.

 

[pk1627]

4 games. Tampa has had 1 bad inning. Got to respect it.

PS. Refsnyder, right. Apologies to Yoshida who I’ve been cursing.

 

[LesterFan]

They don't score vs the mediocre pitchers. Certainly weren't gonna score vs McClanahan.

 

[YTF]

Nice stretch there.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Advanced the runner, at least. Arroyo made third before the put out at first to end the inning.

 

[Rovin Romine]

This was always going to be a tough one. Too bad they couldn't have started Bello last night in the second game.

 

[E5 Yaz]

I don't know if I'd let Bello face Raley again
