1. Phil Coorey. Posted: June 20, 2012 at 07:07 PM (#4162275)

Morning all - looks like a stunning day in Boston today

2. Jose Can Still Seabiscuit Posted: June 20, 2012 at 07:08 PM (#4162277)

Beautiful day, 96 the official game time temp

3. Joe Bivens, Minor Genius Posted: June 20, 2012 at 07:10 PM (#4162278)

Long balls tonight. Both pitchers are susceptible.

4. Joe Bivens, Minor Genius Posted: June 20, 2012 at 07:11 PM (#4162279)

Pedroia gets that.

5. Joe Bivens, Minor Genius Posted: June 20, 2012 at 07:17 PM (#4162285)

The Red Sox will score at least 6 tonight.

6. Dan Posted: June 20, 2012 at 07:18 PM (#4162286)

Is it me or were those two really slow glove to throwing hand exchanges on that double play? Both by Punto and by Aviles.

7. Joe Bivens, Minor Genius Posted: June 20, 2012 at 07:24 PM (#4162291)

No one was running hard on that play. So, it wasn't you.

8. Chip Posted: June 20, 2012 at 07:25 PM (#4162293)

On Pedroia, Orsillo says, "This is what he'll be dealing with the remainder of the year." Well wouldn't a DL stint when he was first hurt have helped aid the healing process and prevented future problems?

9. Joe Bivens, Minor Genius Posted: June 20, 2012 at 07:27 PM (#4162294)

Geez, that isn't Orsillo's fault.

10. Chip Posted: June 20, 2012 at 07:28 PM (#4162295)

Who said it was?

11. Joe Bivens, Minor Genius Posted: June 20, 2012 at 07:29 PM (#4162300)

The voice in my head.

12. Chip Posted: June 20, 2012 at 07:31 PM (#4162301)

My question is one I've yet to hear adequately answered.

Doubront couldn't have played that bunt more slowly.

13. Phil Coorey. Posted: June 20, 2012 at 07:35 PM (#4162303)

That run should never have been scored - seems like the bunt was in slow motion

14. Joe Bivens, Minor Genius Posted: June 20, 2012 at 07:35 PM (#4162304)

The voice in my head says it doesn't know the answer.

15. Chip Posted: June 20, 2012 at 07:40 PM (#4162309)

They looked horrible against Nolasco first time through the order last time, too. I hope history repeats.

16. Joe Bivens, Minor Genius Posted: June 20, 2012 at 07:41 PM (#4162311)

I get the feeling that Jenny doesn't completely understand many of the words she speaks, on air.

17. Dan Posted: June 20, 2012 at 07:44 PM (#4162313)

They're subjecting that kid to sharing the booth with Don and Jerry? I feel bad for him. He might ask for a higher bonus after that.

18. Phil Coorey. Posted: June 20, 2012 at 07:44 PM (#4162314)

Big Mike!

19. Chip Posted: June 20, 2012 at 07:45 PM (#4162316)

Hey, they didn't even wait to go through the order once against the Rodrigo Lopez Memorial Junkballing Righty.

20. Phil Coorey. Posted: June 20, 2012 at 07:46 PM (#4162318)

I think the ultimate would be one of us in the booth with those two ...

21. Dan Posted: June 20, 2012 at 07:47 PM (#4162321)

Man I'm way behind right now. I just got the homer like 30 seconds ago.

22. Jose Can Still Seabiscuit Posted: June 20, 2012 at 07:48 PM (#4162323)

I think it's Gordon Edes as PA man at Fenway tonight.

23. Phil Coorey. Posted: June 20, 2012 at 07:48 PM (#4162324)

Man I'm way behind right now. I just got the homer like 30 seconds ago.

That cause of next def? I don't use that

24. Dan Posted: June 20, 2012 at 07:49 PM (#4162325)

Cherington: alright, we'll give you $1.5M.

Marrero: I'm not signing for a penny less than $2M

Cherington: Fine, we'll give you $2.05M, but you're going to have to go on the air with Remy and Orsillo.

Marrero: Why are you cackling like that?

25. Chip Posted: June 20, 2012 at 07:49 PM (#4162326)

That is indeed Edes on the PA.

BTW, I'm claiming credit for ending the Yankee win streak, since I was at the Stadium last night to see it firsthand.

26. Dan Posted: June 20, 2012 at 07:50 PM (#4162328)

That cause of next def? I don't use that

I think my game had lagged out a bit a few times to push me back. I've restarted my stream between innings.

27. Chip Posted: June 20, 2012 at 07:54 PM (#4162331)

Nice shutdown inning after the offense gave Felix the lead.

28. Jose Can Still Seabiscuit Posted: June 20, 2012 at 07:54 PM (#4162333)

Jon Lester could learn from that

29. Dan Posted: June 20, 2012 at 07:58 PM (#4162336)

Kinda surprised BV had enough confidence in Kalish to bat him 2nd tonight.

30. Chip Posted: June 20, 2012 at 07:58 PM (#4162337)

Nice oppo stroke by Kalish.

31. Phil Coorey. Posted: June 20, 2012 at 07:59 PM (#4162339)

Jesus Gonzo - guess you advanced the runners though.

32. Chip Posted: June 20, 2012 at 07:59 PM (#4162340)

The Rally Killer tried to hit into the DP and failed.

33. Dan Posted: June 20, 2012 at 07:59 PM (#4162341)

Adrian Gonzalez continues to suck though.

34. Dan Posted: June 20, 2012 at 08:00 PM (#4162342)

Seriously, why the hell is Gonzalez trying to pull that pitch? He has been one of the best opposite field hitters in the game over the last 5 years, and all of a sudden he's trying to pull everything.

35. Phil Coorey. Posted: June 20, 2012 at 08:02 PM (#4162344)

I'm at a loss with Gonzo - speechless

36. Phil Coorey. Posted: June 20, 2012 at 08:03 PM (#4162347)

(!!!)

37. Jose Can Still Seabiscuit Posted: June 20, 2012 at 08:03 PM (#4162348)

Pali had a great read and was running hard the while way

38. Phil Coorey. Posted: June 20, 2012 at 08:04 PM (#4162349)

Thanks for the free baserunner btw Ozzie

39. Dan Posted: June 20, 2012 at 08:04 PM (#4162350)

Adrian is the only one who isn't destroying Nolaso now.

40. Chip Posted: June 20, 2012 at 08:04 PM (#4162351)

Ortiz broke Buck's arm with that slide.

41. Phil Coorey. Posted: June 20, 2012 at 08:04 PM (#4162352)

Pali had a great read and was running hard the while way

Unlike the Cubs game

42. Phil Coorey. Posted: June 20, 2012 at 08:07 PM (#4162355)

The Red Sox will score at least 6 tonight.

Hopefully the at least part is right

43. Chip Posted: June 20, 2012 at 08:19 PM (#4162361)

This, on the other hand, is not a shutdown inning.

Why was Kalish so deep against a guy who can't hit?

44. Phil Coorey. Posted: June 20, 2012 at 08:23 PM (#4162364)

That was rather annoying the 4th run there - time to get more than 6 now

45. Chip Posted: June 20, 2012 at 08:23 PM (#4162365)

Aviles was out.

46. Phil Coorey. Posted: June 20, 2012 at 08:24 PM (#4162366)

Clearly out

47. Phil Coorey. Posted: June 20, 2012 at 08:25 PM (#4162369)

There's noting enjoyable about Punto playing nothing - I freaking hate looking a him play - shits me to tears

48. Phil Coorey. Posted: June 20, 2012 at 08:27 PM (#4162372)

If Jenny Dell is better looking than the previous girl, then I am a calm Red Sox fan

49. Chip Posted: June 20, 2012 at 08:31 PM (#4162374)

Her face was not why they hired her.

50. Phil Coorey. Posted: June 20, 2012 at 08:32 PM (#4162377)

Good hustle there from Kalish

51. Chip Posted: June 20, 2012 at 08:39 PM (#4162380)

Poor read by Nava.

52. Chip Posted: June 20, 2012 at 08:39 PM (#4162382)

But good AB from Gonzalez, I guess.

53. Chip Posted: June 20, 2012 at 08:41 PM (#4162383)

Papi!

54. Phil Coorey. Posted: June 20, 2012 at 08:41 PM (#4162385)

Good god - we are witnessing something special from Ortiz

55. Chip Posted: June 20, 2012 at 08:43 PM (#4162387)

He's 2004 postseason Ortiz right now.

56. Chip Posted: June 20, 2012 at 09:07 PM (#4162406)

Daniel Nava, leadoff machine.

57. Darren

Posted: June 20, 2012 at 09:08 PM (#4162407)

Ortiz on a 43-HR pace. Nava hitting .327. There are some good things to this season.

58. Darren

Posted: June 20, 2012 at 09:09 PM (#4162408)

Nava, it appears, is not much of a power hitter. I think the upside for him is a .300/.370/.440 peak year.

59. Chip Posted: June 20, 2012 at 09:12 PM (#4162411)

A chance to get you SLG back up above .400 Adrian.

60. Chip Posted: June 20, 2012 at 09:13 PM (#4162413)

Or take a rare walk.

61. Phil Coorey. Posted: June 20, 2012 at 09:13 PM (#4162414)

Least he is taking a walk - surely papi has to rub off on him soon

62. Chip Posted: June 20, 2012 at 09:15 PM (#4162417)

Wow, Ortiz passed Rico for GS by a Red Sox hitter.

63. Chip Posted: June 20, 2012 at 09:17 PM (#4162420)

So much for consecutive grand slams.

64. Darren

Posted: June 20, 2012 at 09:17 PM (#4162421)

This guy stinks!

65. Chip Posted: June 20, 2012 at 09:18 PM (#4162423)

Looking for the hole in his bat.

66. Darren

Posted: June 20, 2012 at 09:33 PM (#4162432)

At least it's a baseball question. But a FIRST BALLOT Hall of Famer? Sheesh.

67. Jay Seaver Posted: June 20, 2012 at 09:34 PM (#4162433)

Wow. I step out to buy some comics, and the Sox bring out the pummeling stick.

68. Chip Posted: June 20, 2012 at 09:35 PM (#4162434)

Comparing him to Rice is also not helpful.

69. Chip Posted: June 20, 2012 at 09:45 PM (#4162442)

Not an auspicious start for Mortensen.

70. Darren

Posted: June 20, 2012 at 09:59 PM (#4162448)

Well, he does have TEH FEAR!

71. Darren

Posted: June 20, 2012 at 10:01 PM (#4162449)

The giggles are here.

72. Darren

Posted: June 20, 2012 at 10:04 PM (#4162452)

I was just looking up Fausto Carmona so I could see when Ortiz hit that HR off him. Try searching on his name on Baseball Ref. It's unsettling what happens.

73. Darren

Posted: June 20, 2012 at 10:04 PM (#4162453)

What is the girl in this McD's commercial?

74. Darren

Posted: June 20, 2012 at 10:06 PM (#4162456)

So, 500 HR for Papi?

75. Chip Posted: June 20, 2012 at 10:09 PM (#4162464)

Orioles swept by the Mets, so they'll gain a game on everyone in the division.

76. Darren

Posted: June 20, 2012 at 10:13 PM (#4162470)

Ask Jerry: Does Jenny Dell know anything about baseball? Like the number of bases? Do you know how to talk about baseball?

77. Jay Seaver Posted: June 20, 2012 at 10:14 PM (#4162471)

Heh, Youk gets a couple of hits to increase his trade value, Middlebrooks gets a homer to remind trading partners why the Sox don't have a lot of leverage.

78. Chip Posted: June 20, 2012 at 10:15 PM (#4162472)

Pretty sure the velocity off Middlebrooks' bat is higher than anyone else on the team. When he hits them they're just bullets.

79. Darren

Posted: June 20, 2012 at 10:16 PM (#4162473)

AskJerry: What the #### is so funny?

80. Jay Seaver Posted: June 20, 2012 at 10:24 PM (#4162476)

Wooooooo fourth place woooooooooo!!!!

Hey, it's kind of exciting.
