July 18 @ the A's

[BaseballJones]

This is going well.

 

[strek1]

We squander and they score. Can't keep operating with this thin staff no matter how bad Oakland is.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Jesus, Jakes

 

[The Gray Eagle]

It seems perfect that JJ Bleday is an A

I wonder if he is related to mouth breather Ricky Bledee. He was super annoying too.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Lefty bombs.

 

[Bergs]

The good thing is that Chang can make up for his sloppy fielding with his bat.

Yeah, if he takes out Noda in between innings Tonya Harding style.

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Why'd we keep Jag Jacques over Sherriff? Options left?

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

There are no outs. Send help quick.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Dbacks are 0-85 all time when giving up 12 or more runs.

Winning 16-13 at the moment.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Okay, this is the defense we all know and hate.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

What the heck

 

[JOBU]

Holy shit. This team lol

 

[strek1]

He's got nothing.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

They won']t need a 5th starter again (3 days off in the next 10 days) for awhile, but they're going to have to try something - Barraclough, cheap trade - for this spot in the rotation. Can't do this again.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Folks, it's Oakland. Three runs is nothing

 

[The Gray Eagle]

Forget it Jaques.

It’s Soxtown.

 

[Joe Shlabotnick]

Sell!

 

[derekson]

This defense is quite something tonight.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Everyone rakes against poor Joey Jacques.

 

[simplicio]

It's going to be one of those games, isn't it.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Justin Turner, like Sam, bringing Alice the meat.

 

[BaseballJones]

Good lord. Two errors, two homers, just two innings in. Yikes.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Has any team had nine errors in a game, one from each position

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Good lord. Two errors, two homers, just two innings in. Yikes.

I think it is 3 errors

 

[BoSoxFink]

Can’t we find more capable pitchers than these stiffs?

 

[Rovin Romine]

Jacques pitched on the 15th and the 16th, and now again today. They should have had enough long men in the pen ready to go.

 

[mr_smith02]

Well, now the Sox win 11-3 tonight.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Send the Bear Claw.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Well, now the Sox win 11-3 tonight.

Liking and subscribing

 

[The Gray Eagle]

Going Walter/Murphy for the next few innings? The “Fifth of Beethoven” strategy?

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

"He comes on for some length" - Monaco

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Gonna be a long night. If the Sox just take the forfeit to save the bullpen, is it a problem? Just give the 80 fans a signed bat or something.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Gelof of my lawn.

 

[Bergs]

It would've almost been worth him going deep for the Boomtown jokes alone.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Rough start to the career of Bob Geldof

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Plenty of time for the offense to pick them up but yeah you can only steal so many innings with random journeyman stiffs.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

It would've almost been worth him going deep for the Boomtown jokes alone.

Nope. Murphy finding himself now. Sox will score in the top of the next inning en route to victory. No more Oakland runs please.!

 

[Bergs]

break it down , Chris Murphy!

 

[E5 Yaz]

Rough start to the career of Bob Geldof

I'll be glad when we're done with Oakland so no one else will try to make this joke

 

[Bergs]

Edit: links to funny pics emphasizing "ALMOST" not working. Use your imagination.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Those will be the happiest days of our lives

 

[Bergs]

I'll be glad when we're done with Oakland so no one else will try to make this joke

So you wanna shoot the whole joke down?

 

[JOBU]

Anger levels rising.

 

[JM3]

Sometimes the Red Sox stack Bernardino & Pivetta...

... then other times I wonder if they understand the point of an opener & if they're actually trying to win games.

 

[The Gray Eagle]

The As are a terrible team, one of the worst in recent memory. They will probably win about 50 major league games this year though. This will probably be one of them.

 

[Bergs]

Apropos of absolutely nothing: I generally watch games and gamethread in my open garage. I just mulched my pepper plants out front with ground cocoa bean shells and HOLY SHIT does it smell delicious out here.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

This thing ain’t over. Hold the line.
