this team appears to have figured out how to play. even when they lose they look dangerous. maybe instagram's been banned from the clubhouse?

and you haven't even shit on mike napoli lately

I mean the team is kinda doing that for me, david ortiz is repeatedly playing first base. in AL games.

I got to figure Ryan Hanigan is probably living out the dream getting to play for the Red Sox this year being from MA. Hanigan's a cool player, definitely someone that has pretty much maxed out of his talent.

buch's breaking ball that starts outside (to left-handers) and then darts back over the plate is fucking devastating today. he's thrown it like 80% of the time and he should keep doing so
― transparent play for gifs (Tracer Hand), Friday, 10 July 2015 23:40 (eight years ago) link
aaaand now he's hurt
― slothroprhymes, Saturday, 11 July 2015 00:22 (eight years ago) link
buch only on the 15-day, just enough time to coincide with the break and bring up brian johnson
― slothroprhymes, Sunday, 12 July 2015 14:21 (eight years ago) link
I have also run out of possible explanations for the streak of de aza inexplicably doing something good or valuable in almost every game he plays in, at age 31 after being traded for nothing by the orange birds due to like a 15-game hitless streak
― slothroprhymes, Sunday, 12 July 2015 14:26 (eight years ago) link
as much as i love brock holt you could make the argument that his fielding miscues led directly to the big innings that lost the game yesterday and probably today
― transparent play for gifs (Tracer Hand), Sunday, 12 July 2015 20:33 (eight years ago) link
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
― transparent play for gifs (Tracer Hand), Sunday, 12 July 2015 20:41 (eight years ago) link
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
― transparent play for gifs (Tracer Hand), Sunday, 12 July 2015 20:55 (eight years ago) link
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

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

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
