MLB 2023

Red Sox are 7.0 games behind the Rays.

Sox are turds. 

Not alot of interest in the MLB I see.

Every team in the AL East is above .500 including the struggling Red Sox (last place).

Orioles at 14-7 are in SECOND PLACE! When did that happen?

Sox could have swept Brewers but Manager Cora butchered the handling of the pitching staff in Saturday night's loss. Brewers manager Consell took Cora to school.

One of the most boneheaded plays I have seen in a long time. Brewers up 1, 6th inning I think. Sox has just scored 2 runs to close to gap to 3-2.

Leadoff hitter gets aboard. On an attempted steal of 2B the Red Sox CF, Kiki Hernandez rushes in from CF to backup the throw.
Instead, Yellich drills a ball over Hernandez's head for a double.  If Hernandez stayed in position Yellich's fly ball would have been an out.

In what FUCKING UNIVERSE do you trade the possibility of a double and runners on 2B and 3B with none out for THE CHANCE to backup a throw to 2B?

What the FUCK? My Little League teams weren't this stupid. The CF MUST BE CERTAIN that a throw is being made before he breaks in to back up the play. It's not like the CF needs to cover the bag on a steal. JESUS CHRIST I CAN'T BELIEVE how pissed I am.

Then, Cora lets the starter Whitlock go too long. 70 pitches and only 7 pitches have resulted in no contact.
Then Brewers score (now 4-2), Cora leaves Whitlock in to load the bases with NONE OUT. Then, Cora flips it over to a reliever who manages to get out of the inning while yielding only one more run on a 2B.  Brewers now lead 5-2

In the next half inning, Consul lifts his starter at the first sign of shakiness.

Brewers win 5-4.

Fuck Alex Cora. Fuck Kiki Hernandez (I am really starting to hate this guy).

This should have been a 4-3 Red Sox win and a sweep of the Brew Crew

Cards suck.

Pitching stinks.

Goldie's slumping.

141 games to go.

Pirates sign Bryan Reynolds to an 8 year, $106.75 million extension with a limited no trade clause. FINALLY.

Jarren Duran Red Sox CF is focused on playing baseball (3rd call up) and hammering the ball while playing great defense.
We need him!  If he regresses into the melon-head he has been on previous call-ups, well sorry bud,  you pissed millions of future dollars down the drain. 

Duran hit a grand-slam tonight in his first HR of the year.

Will watch tonight!!!

First batter for the San Fransico Gigantes hit a home run off Yu Darvish. They say its a little more humid today but still at 7368 ft elevation the ball flies and the pitches don't move as well. The pitchers hate it and the batters love it. I'm sure the purist fans don't like it. I don't really like it either because poof guys like Musgrove's era took a huge hit. But I'll enjoy it for these two days.

This game isn’t in my market. Damn. Bruins are getting croaked. I need something else to watch

Even though they lost today, they won the series against the Nationals after outscoring them 21-11. The Pirates still have the best record in the National League.

Will this keep up? No, this kind of success is unsustainable for the Pirates at this point. They still do have a realistic chance of at least getting into a Wild Card spot, which would be a massive overachievement against their expectations for this year (and even what they were expected to be next year).

Derek Shelton is your manager of the year so far for what he has done with the peanut-laden roster this year.
