July 16 @ the Cubs

[fenwaypaul]

That guy was better than Faria.

Don’t give Bloom any ideas.

 

[budcrew08]

Love the tip of the cap to the crowd as well

 

[E5 Yaz]

If this holds up, @E5 Yaz has to start the game threads for three West Coast games.

Past my bedtime

 

[InsideTheParker]

Apropos of nothing, Dylan Cease (Other Sox) just beat Atlanta 8-1.

 

[joe dokes]

Like Kluber's save, every inning Faria pitches is an inning someone else doesn't. Our blood pressure not their concern.

 

[staz]

Players have been hit by fans throwing home run balls back.

A (presumably) home team fan targeting their own outfielder? I can't remember that ever happening.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Faria is back, and Cora told him to throw strikes?

 

[Ed Hillel]

That was an ugly route lol

 

[E5 Yaz]

Let's get that ERA down to 13.50

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Barnhart in line for the win if Cubs can get 9.

Epic photo of Nap wandering down the street in Boston, smoke hanging from his lower lip after clinching the 2013 World Series.

One of my favorite pics of any athlete ever

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

They gave Faria #32? I thought that was retired for Barnes.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Let’s not walk Mr. .450 OPS

Jinxed him for sure.

Pretty sure you are missing my point. They encourage fans throwing balls back on the field there. I have seen a runner get hit by a ball after hitting a home run. Whether they are aiming at the players or not, that is way more dangerous than a guy going into the bushes.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Tauchman doing some stat-padding before the deadline.

 

[budcrew08]

Monaco doing the Oakland series too… wonder how long we have it good before DOB comes back.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Faria has pretty easy 95 cheese when he gets it over.

 

[InsideTheParker]

How close does it have to get for Cora to get someone else up?
Edit: Martin's up. This is so stupid.

 

[mauidano]

Rob's gotta make that catch.

 

[LogansDad]

How close does it have to get for Cora to get someone else up?

Hopefully not much.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

.... That should be a ground rule double.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

That should be a double.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

For fuck's sake, now Martin is up.

Dave's daughter getting married in Europe somewhere if I recall.

 

[MiracleOfO2704]

Frame of reference: Crawford threw 89 pitches over 6 innings. Faria’s working to pass that in two.

 

[budcrew08]

Dave's daughter getting married in Europe somewhere if I recall.

Now that you say it, I do vaguely remember him talking about it.

 

[Rovin Romine]

.... That should be a ground rule double.

That was my thought as well.

 

[Doc Zero]

This guy’s gonna get DFA’d at the airport.

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

Never in doubt

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Ponderous, man. Ponderous. Fucking ponderous water.

 

[joe dokes]

Good for Faria. He wasn't good. But that wasn't easy.

 

[staz]

50-44

 

[InsideTheParker]

OK. A fun game for 7 innings.

 

[mauidano]

Confidence builder for Jake.

Chicago water.

 

[Reggie's Racquet]

Masa Wasa!

 

[strek1]

OK - PLEASE let us never see this guy again.

 

[JOBU]

Tell me he just did not fist pump there.

 

[moonshotmanny]

We finally got Water.

 

[budcrew08]

Took way too long water

 

[fenwaypaul]

A crisp 65-pitch outing for Faria.

 

[TFisNEXT]

WATAH!

 

[Rovin Romine]

That was amazing.

 

[Archer1979]

Windy City Water!

 

[DeadlySplitter]

I look forward to using Jake Faria in the next Immaculate Grid he qualifies for

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Faria was awful but the defense blew two plays that could have been outs behind him.

 

[Rovin Romine]

Tell me he just did not fist pump there.

To be fair, it's OK to celebrate something you never expect to accomplish again.

 

[Archer1979]

Past my bedtime

I might join the game thread of the replay.

 

[Curtis Pride]

Today:
Crawford - 33 balls, 56 strikes
Faria - 34 balls, 31 strikes

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Yoshida is in the top 12 in MLB OPS. Top 4 in the AL- only Ohtani, Diaz, and Robert are higher.
