Can’t wait for ESPN’s knob slobbing of the Red Sox tonight even though we’ve already won the series and are going for a sweep.

And the season series.

ARod is #teamastros 

[Limp Brisket 546]

Fuck ARod

 

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Sox haven't run much with Maldonado behind the plate. I expect they'll be more aggressive tonight.

[Guadaloopy 10988]

When’s the last time Gattis made the starting lineup?  White has totally earned the spot, by I miss seeing Oso Blanco once in a while.

Think he started the Twins game we won 9-1. Crushed one to left.

[Mez2 4025]

We'll be lucky to get 4 hits with this lineup🤓

I don't think that's how it works.  It's not direct contact, it's miasmas and bile.

Got swept by the A’s.

Actually 3 games for the moment.  I don’t think anyone was expecting much from the Rangers this weekend, but would have been nice of them to steal a game.  Won’t matter if our boys finish their own sweep.  In fact, answering their sweep with our own would be pretty demoralizing for them, I think.  

[Limp Brisket 546]

At least they had good “effort”?  Fuck that, one fucking win would’ve been nice from them.  Shit effort.

[TexArcher 37989]

Time to salvage the sports weekend.  Come on, Astros.

[Stella Link 534]

SWEEP!!!

SWEEP!!!

SWEEP!!!

GO ASTROS!!!

 

[WBT 20640]

That was a pretty cool fun fact that Vasgersian just threw out.  This is the first game at Fenway with both teams at least 36 games over since the Bucky Dent game in 1978.

[clapclapclap 9000]

This is a good start.

[Gut Wagon 8083]

Charitable strike. 

 

Edit...times two

Horseshit call there

very very bad call 

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Cock sucking ump

[Mo Horn 8852]

DK better get that same call

[tx 3 putt 77221]

that strike out was a gift, horrible calls 

[tx 3 putt 77221]

correa needs to get hit to wake his ass up at the plate 

[Smax 3800]

Wasted opportunity

[Mo Horn 8852]

Last night Correa looked like he was finding something. He looked lost there swinging thru some hittable pitches. 

[Guadaloopy 10988]

Sucks that right now there is no expectation that Correa will do something good at the plate.  

[Mo Horn 8852]

Damn, Betts having himself a year

[Guadaloopy 10988]

 Ball 1 to Benintendi was strike 1 and 3 to Gurriel.  

[Mez2 4025]

Korrea

[henrygandorf 29194]

ok, so maybe my mind is playing tricks on me, but i swear i heard a-rod, talking about jdm/betts being the first tandem to go .330 with 30 bombs since dimaggio and maris.

um, what?

am i the only one who heard that?

[Tommy Nobis 905]

God dammit what an awful pitch in that count

[Guadaloopy 10988]

Missed his location badly. 

[Mez2 4025]

What a terrible pitch, why don't you go change up away, twice

[Mez2 4025]

Anytime we want to get mookie out would be good, too

Heard that.  He must have meant DiMaggio and Gehrig.  He fucks up about 1/3 of his words and Maris kinda rhymes with Gehrig.

Yup, DK chose poorly on that pitch choice. Went back and looked and couldn't tell if he shook of McCann or if that's what McCann called.
