Red Sox (67-52) @ Tigers (63-57)

Buchholz vs Boyd

Can someone tell me why Hill just lead off?

>Oh boy. Buchholz.

>Aaron Hill strikes out (why the fuck is he leading off anyway?).

>Ortiz, and Pedroia off.

>Shitty night last night for the Sox.

WE GOT THIS GUYS

Lineup all fucked up due to the travel schedule.

Also Based Remy in for a road game.

>Shitty night last night for the Sox
You're not kidding

I get resting Ortiz and maybe Pedey, Benintendi? Apparently we're too concerned with his mind to move him around in the order yet?

How is Sox fielding compared to the rest of the league?

>Flying out on one pitch to Buchholz

Well done Kinsler

...

We are ranked 8th atm, with Washington being in first.

I think John wants a decent sample size. Will prob keep Nintendo at 9 at least through this month.

Does anyone else think Sandy Leon might have actually figured something out? His BABIP is sky high, but he's hitting with more power than ever before. I think he could actually hit around .260 after his hot streak ends. Plus he has good defense. I could see him being the Sox starting catcher in 2017 if Vazquez keeps hitting like shit, considering the Sox seem to have changed Swihart into an outfielder

Shame how Marrero seems he's not ever going to surpass being an organizational depth piece.

I always thought he was gonna hit a wall but the dude is jacked out on enough roids it would make Arod blush

>1st pitch swinging

What makes me think he may have is his BABIP is not from bloopers or well-placed ground balls but hard hit balls, even his outs he hits hard

I do think the Sandy man can settle in to being a solid player. I agree Vazquez can back him up. Do you think Swihart could make the team next year as the fifth outfielder? Wonder if they would see him having more value knowing he could catch as well. I just don't know if that something you could do with any success if you caught one game every week or two.

I like Swihart but his best value may be as a trade piece, another team would have much more room for him

I see him at DH imo, and Vasquez as catcher. We are going to need one after The Large Father leaves.

Wtf..

I'm not sure. the way I see Swihart is his absolute best outcome is .280-300 with 10-15 HR, but I don't think he'll play much at catcher. Honestly, we'd probably be better off trading him.

HOLY FUCK JACKIE IS SO BASED

No catch wtf

What the shit Bogaerts, why'd you wait so long

>Umpball

HOW CAN UMPS BE SO BAD

There's no way Sandy hits enough to be DH. I think we'll end up getting Encarnacion.

WHY THE FUCK WAS HANLEY NOT ON FIRST!?

AND WHY ARE THE UMPIRES SO SHIT!?

Love Sandy but he can't be our full time DH no fucking way, EE would be our best bet

Hanley made the right play actually, tagging both runners

JD Martinez should be at 3rd

Even if its not a catch McGhehe was tagged out

>the year 2016
>MLB professional umpires are actually this bad

he clearly knew it wasn't a catch

Holy shit that is embarrassing common umps

Julio Daniel Martinez should be at 3rd

My head hurts....

WOW FUCKING UMP BALL ARE YOU KIDDING ME

Apologize.

>Bumston

Anyone except Victor would have been at 3rd

Wow this umpire decision is bullshit. I just dont see how thats fucking fair

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK.
THIS IS BULLSHIT. HE DIDNT EVEN LOOK AT THE FIRST BASE UMPIRE

>getting the call wrong
>not at least one out
>even though McGee was tagged off the base
>even though McGee passed Martinez on the bases

Nice Umpball tiggers

FUCKING UMPS YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME

>Farrell

umps are shit lol

gass em all

OH FUCK FARREL ARE YOU SERIOUS LOL

IF YOU'RE TOSSED AT LEAST GET ITS WORTH

JD was 1/3 way between 2nd and 3rd at the "catch"
lol, mcgehee would not have been out without the blown call

This game is becoming a shit show. As if Buchholz needed to be under pressure.

>look up homeplate ump
>born in michigan
wow I sure am surprised gee boy oh boy

Kek Farrel is a little cranky

Post yfw Salty hits into a double play anyways

>mcgehee would not have been out without the blown call
he didn't even look at the ump, he just poorly ran the bases. the call had nothing to do with him going back to first

Cmon John if you gonna get thrown out at least got ballistic on the nigga

well look at it this way guys, Farrell won't be making bullpen decisions late in the game now

Fucking umpball cunts

gas detroit

nice "run" tiggers

>you need to stop right now

>comes out of the dugout

WHAT THE FUCK JOHN!?

Hahaha

What a fucking retarded game this is

>butterfield thrown out

Dude what. What are the umps fucking doing here

>butterfield is kill and not farrell

JUST

>umps throw out farrell
>realize this helps the sox and change it to butterfield
to be fair butterfield is shit too sometimes

>boston is this stupid and mad
literally 100% fair
why should he look at the ump with such an obvious no-catch?

Wait, Butterfield!?

I need more coffee for this shit show..

>The Tigers score their first run without it being a HR in 29 innings

>why should he look at the ump with such an obvious no-catch?
He didn't, that's the point.

The umps call have -NO- impact on the guy running back to first base, there is no way in hell he gets to third regardless of what the ump call is because he personally made a mistake

If JD thought it was a no catch, why would he go back to first?

>such an obvious no-catch

>with such an obvious no-catch?

so obvious the ump couldn't tell huh?

4/10 b8

JESUS CHRIST HANLEY STOP

>That almost spaghetti by Hanley

Jesus fucking christ you just gave me a heart attack Hanley

JESUS FUCK HANLEY

Y'know, this game isn't good for my heart

well yeah for unbiased, objective fans it was, but maybe less so on field or in Boston
because the first base ump called him out and third base coach told him to turn around?
are you blithering about JD getting told to tag up by the third base coach after the "out?"

Maybe less so on the field because it was called a catch on the field, genius

HIDE TRIPFAG THREADS

IGNORE TRIPFAG POSTS

DO NOT REPLY TO TRIPFAG POSTERS

Why is Xander broken?

I just got here. detoilet is getting gifted out of the fear of another sox win

I filtered him on the first post

>are you blithering about JD getting told to tag up by the third base coach after the "out?"
Except he was looking at CF, not any of his coaches

Is chicken tenders elite?

Is Hanley on drugs right now?

The appropriate action for all tripfags

I found this for you guise

lmao

>Jackie Bustley Jr

another disappointment. Thanks. Boston jfmsu

If we lose this game by the 1 run the umps gave them I swear to god.

It was bad enough that they had to play a rain delayed night game in a different city last night, umps fucking them over is too fucking much

>Michigan up calls no outs on that JBJ play
>Detroit doesn't switch the start time because of 'muh grandparents'

fuck you detoilet

It's all grist for the inevitable documentary on their March to yet another modern era WS. This is all going to even out when we win

>thinking you can win anything with playoff price

Could the team tightening up when batting with RISP show any reflection of a poorly managed club?
