Let Martin finish the game. 

 Can a position player just finished the game? Like Garcia?

Oof..

lmao I was just thinking that. These guys might take a few games to adjust to slow pitch softball pitching. 

Of course the game I didn't watch stuck st the good ol J.O.B

Moncada with more hits than Detroit.  Love to see it.

God we needed a laugher like this so badly. 

It's about time we had a laugher.  Let's have a few more in the next week. 

Now lets fucking go M's, lets make this a day!

Just a question from one who doesn't know, but what is the convention when a team puts up a position player to pitch, are you supposed to take it seriously and get a hit and try to get runs or go easy on them, just curious because there was 3 innings of it today which is the first time I have seen so many innings of position pitching players in one game

I notice Leury did a great job playing proper etiquette baseball.  Strike out and DP against position player pitchers??

Why do you think Tony loves him so much? Leury follows all the unwritten rules.

I think the players have fun with it, but still try.  THe numbers still count and certainly are not asterisked at seasons end, so most of them swing away.

Why do position players always just lob it?  Very rarely do you see one go up there and actually to try to pitch. 

Blind guess, to mess with timing.  These guys are geared up for 97, and they get 47.  Shape of pitches is also something they never see.

Thanks, that is what I thought.

Your leadoff hitter only is guaranteed to hit leadoff once in a game.

 Hitting TA 1st gives our best hitter the chance for the most ABs in the game.

I think I should have been more explicitly sarcastic (mocking TLR)

Probably, but I really so no excuse what so ever for a professional baseball player to strike out against 50 MPH lobs.

And to be fair, I understand that Garcia whiffed on the 80 MPH quick pitch Castro threw but still, it shouldn't have gone to 0-2

The hitters are welcome to swing away. 

Just when I thought Yoans BA was dipping lower than Bidens approval rating, he pulls thru, Good job Yoan and the boys

Good day for Josh Harrison, Seby Zavala, and just about every other Sox player and pitcher.

Looks like the Twins are not going to cooperate.  Up 4-0 late in Seattle.  Would have been nice to creep a bit closer before this upcoming week’s games against Houston and TOR.

Fortunately Leury didn’t start the game with hi s .210 OBP and rally killer capabilities.

Tiggers might've made it a game with Leury in there from the beginning.

An other good thing about the laugher  is that it was TLR proof.  Too big a hurdle to f*uck it up.
