Thread: 4/14 for a game no-one cares enough about to start a thread?

  1. #1

    4/14 for a game no-one cares enough about to start a thread?

    The only good thing I can think of is that one more game gets us a day closer to Ohtani, and, even more important, a day closer to 4/20, the celebration of which is probably the only antidote to this dismal season.

    (Six guys in the line-up hitting under .200. The other aspects--pitching, defense, baserunning--are unfortunately worse.)

    "Fans have become more entitled than anything. So they're starting to question our motives for the game, or how we approach the game. The ones that do question -- like who are you? Just shut up and watch the game tonight." --Kevin Durant on players' lack of effort in regular season games.

    It’s the Apple+ game. I choose to believe this one isn’t happening.

    No, what's pitiful is the 2 out walk followed by 2 hits, with the rbi's coming off Renfroe's bat

    It should have been on Lemon+.

    Dear Mr. Bloom, you have been a major participant in giving Mr. Cora a roster that currently features a lineup with 5 men sporting a BA in the >100s and also Mr Chang who still is a perfect ZERO. How do you plead ??

    At this point I think I would rather see Story swing with one arm than let Arroyo hit

    If I were an opposing scout, just saying, taking notes on Tristan Casas I would go as follows:
    1. Always takes first pitch, so pump a center cut at medium speed.
    2. Get him to swing and miss chasing a low outside medium FB
    3. Put a decent heater on the outer edge of the zone so he will foul it back
    4. Work the count to 3-2 , then fuck him with a pitch on the inner edge for called strike 3. He is looking for a walk. No aggression, nor ability to smack heat

    Any LH can beat the SOX. It's vastly unfair to have a good LH pitching against them.
    Seeing as how this game is on Apple, is it appropriate to post that the SOX offense is rotten to the core?

    Ironic tha Houck's 2 walks are Ohtani and Trout. Just trying to keep the ball in the yard. Not a bad idea, but watch out for Renfroe

    Got one back with a K on Ohtani in the 3rd on a sinker.

    Not guilty, but I will accept a plea bargain.
