Last Day of May -- Reds

[Bergs]

"Great pitch, I just think he threw it a little bit too high" - The wit and wisdom of Tim Wakefield.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Crawford looks lousy

What about Wink?

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

What an extended kick to the crotch this has been.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Two out walk scored.

Leadoff walk scored.

Leadoff error scored.

 

[strek1]

So glad we're playing this bad team so we can get back on a roll.

 

[Joe Shlabotnick]

Just a mediocre team. It happens.

 

[moonshotmanny]

We stink.

 

[Rovin Romine]

3 innings to get 2 runs.

 

[derekson]

What an extended kick to the crotch this has been.

This game, this series, or this season?

 

[absintheofmalaise]

I should clarify. When I say "some balls," I am not talking about the same balls. That would be stupid. Most baseballs only get hit once in MLB. But even if you have balls that are hit more than once, it would be pretty rare that one would be hit in one park and then in another park. Really unusual. So, I'm not saying that if you had a ball, and that ball was hit for a home run in Fenway, that same ball would be not a home run in Petco. Because that ball wouldn't get to Petco.

Though, actually, I guess you could say that everything in the world is not a home run in Petco (except for home runs in Petco). Like, for example, my cat is not a home run in Petco. So I guess in that sense you could say that the same ball that is a home run in Fenway is also not a home run in Petco. Probably. It would be unlikely.

Can we just leave it that? I'm exhausted.

Also, Kutter is a stupid fucking name.

Schrodingers ball?
It would be a better name for a basketball player or a butcher. But I guess some could argue that he is a butcher on the mound.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

This game, this series, or this season?

Yes.

 

[Reggie's Racquet]

How many good starts are we going to flush down the toilet?

 

[patinorange]

Nothing more depressing than watching Kike Hernandez play baseball these days.

 

[OurF'ingCity]

How many good starts are we going to flush down the toilet?

At least we’re getting some good starts - that alone is an improvement.

 

[soxhop411]

Nothing more depressing than watching Kike Hernandez play baseball these days.

Devers also needs to start playing like the all star we are paying him to be. Both on defense and with the bat

 

[catomatic]

Between the Panthers scoring on 82% of their chances, the Heat shooting 82% from behind the arc and the likes of Cincinnati plating every Walk, Error or HBP, I think I’m rapidly approaching a sports sabbatical.

 

[dhappy42]

Time for Raffy to show up.

 

[twibnotes]

Devers is just overly aggressive lately

 

[twibnotes]

Love that ab by raffy - encouraging

edit: ends 15 game no walk streak

 

[strek1]

Devers is just overly aggressive lately

"Lately"? Amazing he took a walk there.

 

[derekson]

Feels like ages since Raffy's taken a walk (and on cue the NESN info shows it's been 15 games)

 

[strek1]

One thing the Sox do excel at this season is leaving guys on base. They are outstanding at that.

 

[dhappy42]

Whelp.

 

[JOBU]

Fuck

 

[strek1]

Looking forward to the 9th when we score one run and come up short again.

 

[patinorange]

JD hitting .278 12 homers, .931 OPS , for the Dodgers.

 

[LesterFan]

0-8 at home vs the NL Central is single-handedly going to kill any chance at a wild card.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Alex Cora couldn't manage his way out of a wet paper bag.

 

[JOBU]

Just a mediocre team. It happens.

Forever .500

 

[donutogre]

JD hitting .278 12 homers, .931 OPS , for the Dodgers.

Can’t say I saw that coming, but I am also not surprised!

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

This riveting Mike Lupica talk is sure to make ratings soar.

 

[budcrew08]

Hey the 8th and 9th is where the offense came alive last night, maybe it happens again

 

[budcrew08]

Ump has missed a bunch tonight.

 

[JOBU]

That’s a good start

 

[Salem's Lot]

He just smokes the ball

 

[patinorange]

No Tapia?

 

[Van Everyman]

Come on, Jarren!

 

[derekson]

No Tapia?

Was also wondering this but I was eating half a bagel

 

[JOBU]

Beautiful

 

[derekson]

Duran in with another double!

 

[Van Everyman]

Woooo! Love it when he goes the other way. Was doing that a ton when he was going good.

 

[Rovin Romine]

1 run game - quick man on 2nd.

 

[patinorange]

Hmmm... Pinch hitting for Kike. I like it.

 

[derekson]

Tapia in for Quique instead, interesting

 

[strek1]

NICE. It surprises me when Duran gets a double and it's NOT a stand up double. Seems like they all are.

 

[Rovin Romine]

Cora PHing for Hernandez. He must be feeling the pressure. Finally.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Schrodingers ball?
It would be a better name for a basketball player or a butcher. But I guess some could argue that he is a butcher on the mound.

Excellent point.

 

[Salem's Lot]

Is NESN acting up for anyone else?

 

[Minneapolis Millers]

People think Cora made the right move there?

 

[fenwaypaul]

Is NESN acting up for anyone else?

Their 4K channel on Fios has been solid tonight.
