10th of May, 2024- Someone starts a damn gamethread

[Sandy Leon Trotsky]

That someone is me! I’m in Philly flying into Boston, taking a bus up to Maine to drink a lot and fish with old friends.
The Sox are in Boston and the Nats are in town. It’s my not humble opinion that the Sox should win. And in a very convincing way, damnit!

 

[Remagellan]

I almost did this, because I was thinking about how we should be more appreciative of the team's effort this season. Among the news sites I check out every day is The Washington Post, and from their coverage they seem to be very pleased that the Nats are 18-18. Well, we're a game better than that, and when you consider all the terrible luck we've had with injuries, that's fairly amazing. So here's to promising futures to both teams, but hopefully our Sox's better days will start tonight with a WIN!

 

[Al Zarilla]

Boston teams need a shot in the arm right now. Start it off with the Sox and the Bs, then the Cs. I want to hear large roars from the crowd tonight due to both of the local teams playing excelling
out of their minds.

 

[Cassvt2023]

Lineup is out:

Duran LF
Refsnyder DH
O'Neill RF
Devers 3B
Wong C
Grissom 2B
Cooper 1B
R Gonzalez SS
Rafaela CF

 

[Cassvt2023]

I'm mildly surprised Cora didn't find a way to get Dom Smith in the lineup. I know it is a LHP, but he is 3-4 in his career against P Corbin.

Well, so is seemingly everyone else in the league, based on Corbin's recent history.

(No, I did not actually research this and it is clear hyperbole)

Most batters are 5-for-4 against him recently

Except for Dalbec.

Series 13: NATS vs SOX
Lost two to the Braves. Have to tip our hats.
It’s tough to top teams that stack up those stats.
Though failing on Sale Day made us shout “rats!”,
this team can respond (just like falling cats),
land on its feet, and avoid the loud splats.
Just get on base then keep using the bats,
so ponds don’t become our ducks’ habitats.
We love the Bruins, the Celts, and the Pats,
but we love the Red Sox most of all. That’s
why we meet up here in game-threads and chats,
conversing like good friends, fighting like brats,
and dropping rich pearls like aristocrats.
We’ve faith our team pulls themselves off the mats
to fight on at Fenway. Flatten the Nats!

No train involved? LOL. sounds like great fun! Enjoy Maine.

I have survived the road-game-against-playoff-team section of our spring schedule, mostly by not watching the games because life intervened. What life intervened? you may ask.

Events, dear boy, events.

Maybe it shows how delinquent I am at keeping up with baseball post-2018, but I don't recognize a single name in that lineup.

 

[Ale Xander]

Is this the last day they stay over .500?

 

[InsideTheParker]

Gx, Sox.
So tired this time of year I can barely keep my eyes open, but I do see Youkilis, whom I am fond of.

 

[TrotNixonRing]

Heads up this is MLB game of the day for MLB.TV

 

[TrotNixonRing]

Is this the last day they stay over .500?

No they’ll likely go above and below it a few times this season

I remember Rosario from when he played for the Braves. He's the only one though.

 

[Ale Xander]

Who has the better product placement in these ads, Audi or Toyota?

 

[InsideTheParker]

This Rosenthal guy is boring. Pretty nice looking, but dull.

Brilliant, as always. Thanks, and win.

 

[E5 Yaz]

This Rosenthal guy is boring. Pretty nice looking, but dull.

btw, Yoshida does not need surgery ... but Cora says he's still a couple of weeks away

 

[mauidano]

Has Dave O'Brien stopped talking about Chris Sale yet?

 

[mauidano]

This Rosenthal guy is boring. Pretty nice looking, but dull.

Yeah, agreed. Being on camera is not fun for him and it shows.

He'd rather be talking to the bats and squeezing some hits out of them

 

[InsideTheParker]

Thanks for the Yoshida news.

 

[Ale Xander]

Lots of empty primo seats 2 sections to the left of home towards 1B

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Houck looks dominant.

 

[derekson]

That play was surprisingly close

 

[derekson]

Houck has the good slider tonight

 

[TrotNixonRing]

btw, Yoshida does not need surgery ... but Cora says he's still a couple of weeks away

maybe all a blessing in disguise

 

[Ale Xander]

On pace for a perfect game for Houck

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Sigh.

 

[mauidano]

Tie game!

Let's go!

First 2 innings it has to be allowed, cmon

Nope.

 

[Ale Xander]

Hate the chewing

 

[Ale Xander]

Nope.

Ok thanks

[derekson]

That’s an ugly 3-1 swing

 

[Ale Xander]

Dammit

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Terrific send.

 

[derekson]

Yikes.

 

[S. H. Frog]

Nice tag, fucker

 

[Sprowl]

Sigh. I blame Ale.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Bad send

 

[sean1562]

Dumb send with Robles in rf and pretty shallow

 

[patinorange]

The base running on this fucking team still blows

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Ok thanks

See what you did?

 

[InsideTheParker]

Crap. No fair making an off-line throw that your catcher anticipates and makes the out.
