Day off is all I’m sure he will be fine

Yea. You’re right. It’s been just as crushing a week as I can recall.

Did you see Abreu’s face the other night after they lost again from a walk off? He looked like someone took his ice cream cone. ??‍♂️

Yup. Makes me remember talking with him I. Spring training of 2005. I asked, ”Ozzie, are these guys going to win this year?” In typical Ozzie fashion he yelled at me, “I don fucking know if dey fucking plays if good boseball or fucking like dis shit! Dey win, not me. Ask dem!” Pablo Ozuna was right there as well so I said, “well, Whatda you think Pablo?” He just gave me a thumbs up and we all laughed.

I’m telling you guys Ricky planned this all. It’s all a part of a master chess game he’s devised that completely takes the pressure to preform off the plays and puts all of the negative attention into himself. Instead of being the best team, the team to beat, the hottest team in the league... we’re now the walking dead hoping for just one win. After that one win, the team will magically erupt and storm through the playoffs. He will then reveal that this was all planned and he will immediately be inducted to the Baseball Hall of Fame. This text is an ugly brown poop color.

We should have signed this guy for the post season and tested him out with the bases loaded tonight...

Would be lying if I said I hadn’t thought of that as well.

It’s obvious he was trying to lose the game so he could become take the focus off on the field performances of the players. Ozzie used to do it all the time. This text is orange.

First time in what... 17 years that I just flat out disagree with you brother. God bless your faith man!

After reflecting over dinner, I now know what really is going on here. It’s a move of genius. Ricky is a baseball legend for this. He knew Rodon would blow the game. He wanted to take all the pressure off the team going into the playoffs and set himself up to be a sacrificial lamb. The team is going to turn around now only because of this selfless amazing move. This is exactly how it happened and is the exact motivation. #NinjaRick

Only good thing I can say is I’m shocked to see Carlos has that velo.

Makes sense... bring in a pitcher who isn’t a reliever and hasn’t thrown all year. Bring him in with the bases loaded after your last guy just got two outs.

Just getting into the game after being tied up. Lookin good so far. Of course it has been the Yolmer and Nomore show because baseball.

?

Fun.

@southsider2k5 change the thread title and throw a party!

DOPE.

If you drank it in the shower, we might want to talk.

I would seriously consider donating one of my testicles to hear Hawk cal that Indians game a couple days ago with Angel Hernandez behind the plate.

I’m your cousins girlfriends brothers neighbor. I was lying.

@Quin game threads for the win!

No comment other than this: Hopefully the team wins tonight and the tone of conversation can begin to shift.

Baseball has indeed been a mighty reprieve and God bless your approach to this season. Every game is a gift... some I just want to return to the store.

I think it might be good to photoshop up a PTSD certificate and start handing them out. I’d be the first one of many to receive such a dubious “honor”. ?‍♂️
