lol, Avila was like "you serious bro" after that changeup missed by a foot and a half.

kudos to the program director who intro'd sox math and sticks and stones. creative stuff and helps fill the air.

EJ has really bad body language imo.

Just a shame they burned through the pen in what should have been a blowout victory in game 1.

lol Benetti, between him and Hawk they might have two good eyes.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 23, 2016 -> 09:24 PM) Was watching the ball I was thinking the same thing. He must not have been busting all the whole way.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ May 23, 2016 -> 09:23 PM) That's a blown call & a bad one at that. pretty close but easy call with replay.

ah he's out, clear on replay, f***.

wow, that was a true tie in real time.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ May 23, 2016 -> 09:18 PM) Unless Anderson somehow blows this, hard to see the Sox getting 3 to win this. Really? I'm kind of a pessimist but a bloop and a blast sounds about right and then it's a new game.

Saly is a natural athlete for sure. He got such a great jump on that ball he hardly had to move he was already there in the instant it was popped up. Need to see more of him at SS he could def be a great plan B if Anderson doesn't pan out.

f***ing ump calls that pitch like it should be and it's 2-1 count. f***ing BS.

Robots.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 23, 2016 -> 09:15 PM) Did Johnson just strike out Martinez with a ball right out over the heart of the plate? How? velocity.

So uh, EJ looks kinda good.

well i'm back from the gym and not at work so I'll be a little calmer for this one. Thank f***ing god RV didn't cost them the 1st game.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ May 23, 2016 -> 07:53 PM) Not just on Robin/Albers/Duke, but the offense at well for leaving so many runners on. Would help not bunting with your best hitter at the plate and nobody out.

I pray they win this game and someone starts to realize that the Sox have a good team this year, or at least a solid one, and you cannot be f***ing around with a s*** manager like RV.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ May 23, 2016 -> 07:50 PM) He thought the Sox had the game won w 6 outs left. Second time he's made that mistake this year and he's getting burned again. + a million. YOU DON'T MANAGE ON HOPE.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 23, 2016 -> 07:47 PM) Robin's just the worst. He doesn't have the same excuse he had in Texas, which is the bullpen was tired. He simply didn't use his best guy in another high leverage situation. It's f***ing lazy and hoping for the best. this is my new sig.

lmao, now Jones is warming! So, you were gonna use him but not until the lead was almost blown? Words cannot describe how moronic RV is.

Great job RV! Now, you're stupid ass plan to "save" the pen has resulted in burning through Albers and your closer, assuming you even hold the lead! FIRE THIS f***ING MORON.

RV is lucky the players this year are better than average.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 23, 2016 -> 07:41 PM) Duke should not have been used in the 7th, it is as simple as that to be honest. Albers should have been used in the 7th and Duke to start the 8th with Jones waiting just in case. Exactly. RV can't manage his way out of a paper bag. I'd rather have Ozzie. At least for all his BS, including quitting on the team, he understood the concept of bullpen leverage.

fire his ass.
