May 15 Let's go Tannah!!!!

[Norm loves Vera]

I moved to Seattle in early Fall of 1983 to start college because it was pretty much the furthest location on the map from RI. I wasn't making it as a commercial fisherman and needed a reboot after languishing post high school. I loved it out there and Seattle was exactly the right move for me.

The Red Sox could use a reboot after this crazy weekend of heartbreak. I think tonight's game versus Seattle will jumpstart the beantown boys and steady the ship. Tannah is on the mound tonight and faces a kid named Kirby who is on a run having won 4 of his last 5 games and hasn't pitched less than 6 inings per start in over a month. Kirby grew up in Rye, NY so most likely a Yankee fan so I hate him already.

Sox win a close one and Tannah shines

My first concert when I moved to Seattle included the Violent Femmes who were just getting started. I saw Soundgarden there as well and countless local grundge acts

Let Tannah go out like a Blistah in the Sun!!!!

They said last night he had a balky hamstring. I think it's more mental health than anything.

Per the man himself

Kiké Hernandez says he’s day to day with a left hamstring strain. Said he tweaked it trying to beat out a double play on Saturday. Said he was trying to be like Duran with speed and it was a bad idea but should be ok in a couple days.

Game 42
The Celtics won big Sunday afternoon.
The collective joy of Boston fans soon
took a quite painful (but not fatal) blow
as the Red Sox dropped their third in a row.
Swept by St. Louis - a team in last place!
9 to 1 felt like a slap in the face.
Let’s hope the BoSox turn the other cheek,
and battle Seattle better this week.
Pitching’s key in this quest for a banner.
Is Kenley cooked? Can we count on Tanner?
With Tilt DFA’d, should we send Kluber
out of town, too? (I’ll pay for the Uber.)
Once the team settles the starters and pen,
we’ll get relief and start winning again.
Tonight, like the Celts, defend the home turf.
Let’s send the Mariners back to the surf.

 

[Sandy Leon Trotsky]

Please get through the 3rd time through the order for fuck sake. (My favorite type of sake.... best served hot)

 

[Don Buddin's GS]

So. since he was recalled from the Woosox, Duran has steadily climbed up the batting order, from 9th all the way to leadoff. With his speed he is the ideal dude to fill that slot.

 

[Ale Xander]

Mariners:

SS Crawfid (Not Carl)

[S. H. Frog]

Millar? We shall see

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Houck looks dominant.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

SMASH ONE THE FUCK ON OUT OF HERE, RAFAEL!

 

[S. H. Frog]

Wait, what happened? I was only gone a minute, it looked like first and second no outs. Why the commercial?

 

[teddywingman]

Yuck.

 

[teddywingman]

Wait, what happened? I was only gone a minute, it looked like first and second no outs. Why the commercial?

1 out. Devers double play first pitch swinging.

 

[S. H. Frog]

Yuck

 

[teddywingman]

Mowing.

 

[derekson]

Houck looking good

 

[InsideTheParker]

SMASH ONE THE FUCK ON OUT OF HERE, RAFAEL!

He needs to do something else, like hit it down the base lines, hard. He wants to hit homers every AB.
Millar talks too much and too vociferously.

 

[strek1]

Swing the bat.

 

[The Filthy One]

Devers has been low-key disappointing this year. It's not that he's played poorly, but he hasn't taken a step forward to become that .900 - 1.000 OPS type guy he seems like he could be.

 

[Bergs]

DOB with the mega-jinx.

 

[soxhop411]

Can we score some damn nuns now please?

 

[S. H. Frog]

He needs to do something else, like hit it down the base lines, hard. He wants to hit homers every AB.
Millar talks too much and too vociferously.

Yes to both points

 

[dhappy42]

Can we score some damn nuns now please?

Some runs would be nice too.

 

[strek1]

Come on guys.Let's not waste what looks like another good start with miserable offense. 6 pitch inning - Ugh

 

[LesterFan]

Offense couldn't do anything vs mediocre STL pitching. Now they're facing actual good pitching.

 

[Sin Duda]

Can we score some damn nuns now please?

I think Pope Francis has a problem with you trying to score some nuns.

 

[glennhoffmania]

Who's in the booth?

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Loving the Pablo Reye$ era. This cat is LEGIT!

 

[strek1]

I think Pope Francis has a problem with you trying to score some nuns.

Prom night

 

[Beomoose]

Great effort by Tapia, he'd have nailed a slower base runner

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Millar talks too much and too vociferously.

I'm not huge on Millar, either. He's like a dollar store Jonny Gomes.

 

[teddywingman]

Damn. Was just thinking... that's the kind of play you need for a no hitter.

 

[nvalvo]

Suddenly a ton of hard contact off Houck

 

[Don Buddin's GS]

Does Casas ever know how many outs there are?

 

[pk1627]

Two observations:

1. They hit Tanner a bit harder in the 4th. But at people
2. Two Wongs are batting ninth. Doesn’t make it right.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Does Casas ever know how many outs there are?

Only when there are three.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Does Casas ever know how many outs there are?

They do the throw around after the last out of every inning ended in the infield

 

[teddywingman]

This game could be over in less than 2 hours.

 

[strek1]

Wish you'd done that last time Raffy

 

[Don Buddin's GS]

They do the throw around after the last out of every inning ended in the infield

I know that but he came off the bag and stared at the runner at third.

 

[Beomoose]

Well Casas went through some things right there
