they won yday! Friday was the big fuckup
but yea I mean when holt fucks up it's usually pretty consequential, which you forget bc of his utility value/general competence
― slothroprhymes, Sunday, 12 July 2015 20:36 (eight years ago) link
yes sorry day before yday
de aza 2-4 today

nbd man just gotta savor every win in these trying times
and yea the de aza train rolls on, he had a bad miscue in left yday when he was a defensive replacement but they won the game anyway so it wasn't even a big deal
― slothroprhymes, Sunday, 12 July 2015 20:45 (eight years ago) link
holt probably my straight up favorite player
would love to see mookie tear the cover off the ball here

I like holt despite distrusting the cult of brock holt. xander is my favorite current red sock followed by koji
― slothroprhymes, Sunday, 12 July 2015 20:53 (eight years ago) link
did not know there was a cult!! of what does this cult consist? yeah xander right up there, koji.. so many people to like on this team

lol I'm referring to the adoration and partial overrating focused around gritty wite players like holt, which tbf is not exclusive to boston (see how the yankee fans view gardner, countless other examples past and present) but because of certain aspects of our sports culture in the city can be magnified to a degree I find questionable

the fuck is it with this new generation of stimulants. oxilofrine?
― velcoro pharmacy & provisions (slothroprhymes), Thursday, 16 July 2015 21:44 (eight years ago) link
tbh i wouldn't be too surprised if this were a mistake of supplements or something. he's 19, a first-round pick, got a $1.5m bonus -- no real motive at this point
he did have a jump in velocity this season, which everyone is now questioning, but that's hardly uncommon for high school kids

going to tonight's game. Go Angeles, Boo Panda.

like you don't need to be mad just bc the faustian bargain bochy made dictates that odd year wins are not permitted seems like a bad way to live imo

so Uehara threw Trout an 83 mph fastball? is that his 9th-inning weapon?
― skateboards are the new combover (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 18 July 2015 04:37 (eight years ago) link
not much you can do against the best player there is
looked more like a failed splitter than his (such as it is) fastball, but oh well

zloth you don't get me at all, i was being sarcatic. i was hurt at what he said at first but i have moved on...

only care about one team.
― Bee OK, Saturday, 18 July 2015 09:18 (eight years ago) link
Trout is the man, they had two hits tonight and one was the walk-off.
I suppose I'm happier to see a drought stricken state get rained on than see the sox lose earlier in the evening

@TimBrittonThe Angels scored seven runs on Eduardo Rodriguez's last eight pitches.

― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 21 July 2015 04:46 (eight years ago) link
I agree there def, also his movements are clearly easy to read although since he's a kid that can be fixed
unrelated, this dude filling in for don orsillo in the booth with remy is v off-putting
― slothroprhymes, Thursday, 23 July 2015 01:18 (eight years ago) link
sounds kinda like patrick bateman calling a game :/
sometimes pitch tipping doesn't get fixed :/
― transparent play for gifs (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 23 July 2015 08:43 (eight years ago) link
true, but he's so young and the massive natural talent is so clearly there i'm willing to wait to see if he works it out

Hot sub-.500 showdown on ESPN tonight.
― Andy K, Sunday, 26 July 2015 17:17 (eight years ago) link
lol yea, at least with the tigers it's only one game under rather than...12.
miley is pitching tonight and his last start was legit great so there's that but I ain't expecting anything anymore. barring a massive run (which seems impossible), the season's fuckin over
― extremely lag∞n postings voice (slothroprhymes), Sunday, 26 July 2015 17:23 (eight years ago) link
turning point, people
:D
― transparent play for gifs (Tracer Hand), Monday, 27 July 2015 03:36 (eight years ago) link
beautiful game. even if it's just that and things haven't changed overall, it was fuckin great
― extremely lag∞n postings voice (slothroprhymes), Monday, 27 July 2015 03:46 (eight years ago) link
also I posted earlier that miley was starting and it was in fact ed-rod, but rodriguez was great tonight!

lol napoli
― transparent play for gifs (Tracer Hand), Saturday, 1 August 2015 02:24 (eight years ago) link
fucking napoli. at this rate I wouldn't be surprised if he becomes somewhat consistent at the plate the rest of this season and the team still continues to repeatedly shit itself
― extremely lag∞n postings voice (slothroprhymes), Saturday, 1 August 2015 16:27 (eight years ago) link
trampa bay's SP, matt moore, has a 7.61 ERA and kelly (5.94) is pitching for boston so this'll prob be a high-scoring game of absolute shit-tasticness
