Christie's ChatGPT line was good.

 

[runthebone 7,932]

Lots of baserunners.  Urquidy must be trying to tire them out.

Supposedly edging gives you the best finish.

 

[tx 3 putt 76,332]

Need urquidy to focus 

[David Dennison 18,653]

[runthebone 7,932]

So when you fuck around, Urquidy, this is what happens

[David Dennison 18,653]

It's OK. Seth Martinez is in.

[MirrOlure 14,623]

Made a similar comment last night. Is it just me? Or are these games abnormally long? This shitfest isn’t even half over! And I’m old and need to go to bed!

It is the Red Sox way. Their fucking games have always been slow and long and it seems even the pitch timer can't fix it Last nights made it under 3 hours, but mondays was 3:12.

[HtownHorn 14,474]

They don't swing at the 1st pitch, you need to hammer the zone against them and get ahead.

[perfectchaos007 6,596]

Infielders aren't being too kind to Abreu on his first day back at first base.

Thanks be to Dusty.

[HOOKEM4 5,017]

All of pena's swings seem so damn defensive. Something is wrong with that kid.

[runthebone 7,932]

Pena channeling Correa* there

 

* leads MLB in GIDP

Part of what's wrong with him is that we evidently don't have anyone better. A truly frightening thought, because he's becoming the Maldonado of shortstops. 

[Mitch Hedberg 2,090]

Great catch by Chas and why Yordan should be a DH.

[Mitch Hedberg 2,090]

Maldy. Professional bunter.

Autocorrect? Maybe not

[David Dennison 18,653]

The best pop ups.

[Scraps 13,541]

Wong seems like a douche

[David Dennison 18,653]

Bregman botched that inning.

Yordan has a good arm, but he lumbers out there in left

[Scraps 13,541]

Except Chas shouldn't be playing LF he should be playing CF and Meyers should be on the bench

Well yes but I was speaking in more generic terms of having an athletic outfielder who can make inning saving and game saving catches and Yordan is a prototype DH. Left field will still need to be addressed next year. 

[Mitch Hedberg 2,090]

I feel like we should be winning and keep forgetting it’s tied

[Scraps 13,541]

Pena needs to make himself useful

[Limp Brisket 546]

This would be a good time, Peña.

[UTexasFight 9,376]

Martin needs to make a mistake over the plate

 

everything in the zone is on the corners 

[tx 3 putt 76,332]

Long game is long 

[perfectchaos007 6,596]

At least Maldy leads off the 9th

[Mitch Hedberg 2,090]

Damnit. Well top of the order in the 9th. Walk this bitch off.

Kalas mentioned Yordan and I was wondering if they could have had Yordan stand in the on deck circle or just grab a bat and helmet and stand at the dugout and make believe he might pinch hit…maybe get Jake a better pitch since they wouldn’t want to walk him and load bases for Yordan? 

[Overlord 366]

I don’t give a shit if Yordan’s finger hurts. Give him a fucking bat  

He gets paid good money to hit home runs. 

[Overlord 366]

Big out here, Devers

[Rip76 4,914]

Great fucking pitch.

Now go win this thing.

[David Dennison 18,653]

Pressly with some heat.

[Scraps 13,541]

Finish them

[Guadaloopy 10,921]

Perfect bullpen tonight.  

[Dnaguy 11,770]

Walk it off?

[Overlord 366]

Ok Singieton. 
 

Draw a walk

[Stros121 4]

Just like Needville, we got this.

[UTexasFight 9,376]

Do want kenley v Bregs 

[tx 3 putt 76,332]

Jansen done 

[Overlord 366]

Did Kinley shit his pants?

[Scraps 13,541]

Kenley sees Altuve coming up and fakes injury

[HOOKEM4 5,017]

Singleton sure does admire his fly outs. Jesus dude. Run fatboy run.

[Guadaloopy 10,921]

That’s some Al Czervik injury bullshit.  

[UTexasFight 9,376]

He looked awkward after the 2nd pitch.

Thought maybe he was annoyed at the ump that an obvious ball wasn’t called a strike but did something to the leg on that pitch  

[MirrOlure 14,623]

Goddamn Jansen. My 57 year old ass is in 1000 x’s better shape than your broken down self
