Rodon and Fulmer, maybe some watchable pitching?
Rodon pls be good
I'm really not looking forward to fulmer
Over/Under 200 posts for both games.
I'm taking the under.
Under for sure.
welp, that's not a good omen
Perhaps I set the bar too high. How about 125.
>leadoff walk
oh boy
its a work day and I'm also busy as he'll
eclipse backing up productivity
hoping for a good game from Rodon
not too optimistic on Fulmer, thought he was destined for the pen
hell*
rodon pls
>narv
dang
damn it leury that was ball 4
Walkcada does it again
"Yoan Moncada walks"
Didn't look like Moncada was trying to run at all there. Lazy, or leg still hurting?
based Josavior
get them in nickyd
Third base coach told him to stop and he was already running
oh come on
I mean if he was actually sprinting he should have scored on that no question. And then there's that play, there's no way you don't score on that unless you're hurting.
>avihits
AVIII
not blind after all
yolmeme
>yolmeme*
>he should have scored on that no question.
Not his call, it's the third base coaches
>And then there's that play
He would've been caught easily
Sox you better beat these guys. Take these fools out of our wild card and we will get u some nice new wheels for your tank! :^)
bullpen will make doing that physically impossible
I only care about some offense and more importantly the starters
>non call on low strike
goddamn it
That works.
So what happens when MattyD comes back? Platoon DH?
Hasn't every double header this season been a split?
There's that at least
those were before our bullpen became worst in the league by far
there is literally no one at this game
Christ almight you only have 2 pitchers with a sub 3 ERA in your bullpen?
Engel gets a permanent spot on the bench, Leury moves to center, Nicky moves to left, Matt plays DH.
everyone's down in Carbondale today
though itd probably still be pretty bad even if they werent Monday double header yeesh
Wait we do? Who?
wrong image
How is Leurys D at CF compared to Engel's? Or is this move solely to give leury more reps cause he has more hope for 2018 than Engel?
Oh god i was accidentally looking at the twins.
oh lawd

Oooooooof
>How is Leurys D at CF compared to Engel's?
Hard to answer. If you judge on the eye test and word of mouth, Engel seems to be better, but Fangraphs and B-Ref like Leury's defense more and Baseball Prospectus likes Engel's defense more.
The big thing is that Leury is a decent hitter (109 wRC+/111 OPS+), and Engel is complete dog shit (51 wRC+/54 OPS+)
I hope the clouds fully blocked it out like it did here. I was out golfing when it happened and some dumbasses just parked in the middle of the fairway and put on their stupid glasses. Then when I was busy trying to pound beers after spending 5 hours swampass humidity, I had to hear people bitching about how their "day was ruined"
why not just watch some 4k+ youtube video of it?
almost makes you wonder how he was even invited to team Israel
Yeah the hitting difference is clear as day. I did hear something about Engel arm too which brings down his overall defense despite great range and catch abilities. Leury does seem to be the way to go.
Thing though is going back our original discussion, can NickyD actually stick in left?
under
Is everyone all Eclipsed out now? the wait for the 2024 occlusion should be kinda tense, in space news terms..
I was right in the umbra, shit was amazing
>this battle
The only way to find out is to give him a chance, and if he can continue to hit anywhere in the same universe as he has been, there's no risk in giving him that chance.
SIU?
...
not surprised he swung at that, what with swinging at anything else too
that was an odd AB
Just keep swinging
Idaho, right up in the mountains
it was fast from hear, but very clear
*here
>hurr
well shit
good morning good afternoon and good night
dat slider
rodon at his finest there
was it cloudy out east?
the only thing we were worried about was some smoke and haze from a wild fire nearby
Oregon was clear sailing, I hear WY was clear skies too
>Are the Twins milquetoast ?? =\
The sky was completely covered in clouds during the eclipse time near Chicago. Sun came out like an hour later.
this was my own pic here in Chicago
it sure was cloudy but the thin clouds helped to see it. then the thick clouds rolled in and it was rip
alright Rodon
the good
1 run 2 hits 6 Ks through 4
the bad
72 pitches...
>tfw forecast from tomorrow onward is all 70s/50s
Feels good man.
leadoff walk nickyds on base continues
whelp... NASA probably got some good shots..
I'm sure a of bunch films and shorts are going to come out shortly as well
I wish baseball had a Martin Shkreli type owner/GM.
yes yes give Rodon more runs
Are you purposely being ignorant
MORE FUCKING YOLMEMES
Wow, a Yolmeme bomb, don't see that every day
YOLMEME
ignorant of what?
>based yellow oakleys man
solar eclipse
Yolmer bomb
what next?
jpetty save?
The bullpen will allow ZERO walks.
Bustcada won't suck.
>muh busts
Engel leaning into pitches again. He knows its the only way he can get on base.
we better pile on more before our bp comes in...
Nope
>bustcada
meanwhile Devers has 8 HRs and well Benintendi, we know
not giving up of course but its... discouraging...
I go to clean out the garage and come back to this?
Keep going sox i told you i believed in you!
bullpens not out yet
but with rodons pitch count that could be soon
I'm pretty sure this is a pipe dream, but I'm really hoping for a 2011 game 162 situation this year.
There's no way everything will line up like that ever again.
87 pitches through 5? Jeez man better have a robot arm
josavior strikes again
Fuck yeah abroo
feels good and bad man. was awesome to see it, but i probably won't see anything like it again
ABRO
JOSAVIOR!!!!
First white sock to record 25 homers in each of his first 4 seasons.
Keep going! But save some for the next game too lol
Avi's on fire
he can go for the 30+
30/100 rather like he did in the first 2 seasons
uh oh it begins
>homeless man interferes with game episode
Rodon pls
let the bullpen blow the game, not yourself
The clouds were perfect for blocking enough of the sun to see the eclipse without glasses, now my vision is all blurry with all these little spots floating around.
How fucked am I?
based rosario
as fucked as Rodon
based rodon
seems you're good then
Kahnle Swarz and Drobs legacy
>Rodon still pitching
hes at 112 for Christ sakes
rodon out
as far as I'm concerned this games over
worst name
bummer
