Perfecto #2 for the day?

2. Jay Seaver Posted: August 15, 2012 at 08:03 PM (#4209222)

No (he said, after starting to type "Well, Cook is apparently having another one of those ridiculously efficient games...").

3. Jay Seaver Posted: August 15, 2012 at 08:17 PM (#4209235)

Run! Because Podsednik & Punto were on base. Go figure.

4. DKDC Posted: August 15, 2012 at 08:21 PM (#4209239)

It would be really nice to string a few hits together and score some runs and win this game...

5. DKDC Posted: August 15, 2012 at 08:31 PM (#4209252)

Pathetic. Hopefully they can come back tomorrow and salvage a series win.

6. Jose Remains The Most Absurd Thing on the Site Posted: August 15, 2012 at 08:40 PM (#4209262)

It's Aaron Cook DKDC. I wouldn't throw in the towel yet.

7. Jay Seaver Posted: August 15, 2012 at 08:44 PM (#4209266)

Ah, nuts. That would've been fun.

8. Jose Remains The Most Absurd Thing on the Site Posted: August 15, 2012 at 08:45 PM (#4209269)

Not wasting anytime getting action in the pen. I wonder if Cook has had the flu or something.

9. Jay Seaver Posted: August 15, 2012 at 08:49 PM (#4209271)

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT???

10. Jose Remains The Most Absurd Thing on the Site Posted: August 15, 2012 at 08:49 PM (#4209272)

Red sox baseball.

11. Jay Seaver Posted: August 15, 2012 at 08:51 PM (#4209275)

#10 works as either response or observation.

12. Jay Seaver Posted: August 15, 2012 at 08:51 PM (#4209277)

Well, that went completely to crap fast.

13. Dan Posted: August 15, 2012 at 08:52 PM (#4209278)

Nicely done, Cook.

14. Jose Remains The Most Absurd Thing on the Site Posted: August 15, 2012 at 08:53 PM (#4209281)

Anytime this ####### offense wants to strt ##### slapping people around I'm ok with that. The sox have gotten shut down all too often by pitchers tht really shouldn't be shutting them down.

15. DKDC Posted: August 15, 2012 at 08:55 PM (#4209285)

I didn't really throw in the towel, that was just a little exasperated fan reverse jinx action.

I don't feel very good about a one run lead.

16. Jose Remains The Most Absurd Thing on the Site Posted: August 15, 2012 at 09:00 PM (#4209292)

With your bullpen and the Sox pack it in lineup you should feel good.

17. Jose Remains The Most Absurd Thing on the Site Posted: August 15, 2012 at 09:02 PM (#4209293)

The NESN angle it looked like if Crawford had reached up he had it.

18. DKDC Posted: August 15, 2012 at 09:04 PM (#4209296)

Same on the MASN angle...

19. DKDC Posted: August 15, 2012 at 09:25 PM (#4209314)

Man it is so nice hav a competent defender at 3B. Machado has been really impressive considering he's barely played the position.

20. Jay Seaver Posted: August 15, 2012 at 09:34 PM (#4209322)

Do umpires really think that this enhances their authority, as opposed to making them look insecure?

21. Dan Posted: August 15, 2012 at 09:35 PM (#4209324)

Anytime this ####### offense wants to strt ##### slapping people around I'm ok with that. The sox have gotten shut down all too often by pitchers tht really shouldn't be shutting them down.

This is why I find it hilarious when people point at the runs/game and say "the offense is fine it's all the pitching that's to blame for the record".

22. Jose Remains The Most Absurd Thing on the Site Posted: August 15, 2012 at 09:35 PM (#4209325)

What was Gonzalez upset about?

23. Jose Remains The Most Absurd Thing on the Site Posted: August 15, 2012 at 09:37 PM (#4209327)

Wax he arguing a quick pitch? He rarely argues and that seems an odd thing to get so fired up about.

24. Jose Remains The Most Absurd Thing on the Site Posted: August 15, 2012 at 09:40 PM (#4209330)

I think he had a bit of a beef but that's a weird play.

25. DKDC Posted: August 15, 2012 at 09:41 PM (#4209331)

That's what the MASN guys thought (which I think is legal with the bases empty.

Bobby clearly wanted to get tossed there. A little silly, but if he doesn't go out there he looks like he doesn't have Gonzos back.

26. Dan Posted: August 15, 2012 at 09:42 PM (#4209332)

A 1-2-3 8th inning warrants a mound celebration?

27. Jose Remains The Most Absurd Thing on the Site Posted: August 15, 2012 at 09:51 PM (#4209343)

My tv is broken, it looks like we are intentionally walking Mark Reynolds to pitch to Manny Machado.

28. DKDC Posted: August 15, 2012 at 09:58 PM (#4209358)

Looks like a good strategy. Although it would've been nice if he didn't take 90 seconds between each pitch.

Is a painfully slow pace something Yankees and Red Sox coaches encourage?

29. Jose Remains The Most Absurd Thing on the Site Posted: August 15, 2012 at 10:02 PM (#4209360)

Seems like the Sox do and I hate it. Work fast, change speeds, throw strikes. I can think of a team that had some success with that approach.
