ground-ball pitchers, pandas, victorino's rickety spine and the hope of mookie betts: your 2015 Boston Red Sox

haha, Angels

lol ok dude

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?

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.

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

rip eduardo

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

u coulda been a contender ed-rod

*sighs deeply*

his offspeed stuff needs a lot of work imo

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

sounds kinda like patrick bateman calling a game :/

sometimes pitch tipping doesn't get fixed :/

sometimes pitch tipping doesn't get fixed :/

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

never missing an opportunity for nostalgia mining, NESN is airing a marathon of classic pedro games

not that I'm complaining

currently on aug 28 2000 where he hit gerald williams and went complete game, 1H, 13K, 0R, 0BB.

Hot sub-.500 showdown on ESPN tonight.

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

turning point, people

:D

beautiful game. even if it's just that and things haven't changed overall, it was fuckin great

also I posted earlier that miley was starting and it was in fact ed-rod, but rodriguez was great tonight!

in the bleachers for pedro day

there will be tears

um how is that a home run

frankly I was apoplectic (and it wasn't)

ortiz is walking up to a spanish version of "fuck up some commas" tho that was alright

poor cello ;_;

he is not good at the pitching and the throwing and the ground ball outs it is true

lol napoli

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

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

good fuckin riddance lucchino, you fuck

lol ungrateful much?

omg

this actually makes up for being 14 back

always credited theo more for 2004/2007 than larry and yea I'm prob being halfway irrational with the fuckwords

but yea I don't think his influence has been positive in the front office for quite some time

if one allows that he's been less involved over the past year it's enough to make me wish he was staying.

porcello to the DL

if he really has been battling an injury that /might/ explain some of his struggles but honestly I think he's just flailing

it's the big day for henry owens, and he looks about ready to shit his pants

ended up having a solid night, which robbie ross immediately ruined

the changeup was as advertised i thought.

I'd agree. his command and alarming tendency to pitch high are sus but those things can prob be worked on, seeing as he's 23
