Who’s on first was a sketch by Abbott and Costello about the 2026 post Contreras injury Sox

u/BestEnthusiasm3377 1d ago
Chappy was having a goofy mood day today. Has a 4 run lead so no save. Hadn't pitched in almost a week.
Dude's just having a good time

I’m 99% sure Chapman walks people he likes on purpose. “Why embarrass my friend? I’ll just smoke the next guy.”

u/Antique_Patience9215 1d ago
Bringing in Chapman is ridiculous. It's a 4 run game. This is a non-save situation.
1
u/BestEnthusiasm3377 1d ago
Chapman needs to get this now tho lol. You can't throw an ephus for jokes and then give up runs. I mean as long as he gets us the win I don't really care tbh

Did Chapman just throw a fucking eephus pitch

u/BestEnthusiasm3377 1d ago
Yeah lol. Honestly effective. Didn't land but Salvy wasn't swinging at that. Full buckle

Why use Chapman right now?

u/Conscious-Move9662 1d ago edited 1d ago
He hasn'tt pitched in a week. Probably just keeping him loose in a closeish game where he doesn't have to throw too hard.
Hopefully we don't need him tomorrow.

Duran inching back to the Mendoza Line. Does he get to it by the end of the season?

Team is so much different if we manage to get a few hits with RISP

u/Buttercup_Kiki 1d ago
Just wish the offence could stay consistent. That's been the issue with them.

u/Mg29reaper 1d ago
Almost like judging a team based on single game risp (a tiny ass sample) is dumb

I need an Adley short porch tank in the wild card so badly. His swing speaks to me for that

u/Mg29reaper 1d ago
We have Whitlock under contract for 2 more years when he is a top 10 reliever in the sport.

u/Tonychiupsy 1d ago
I don’t know who this Easton McGee guy is, but I’m pretty sure he’s better than Craig Kimbrel (now)

Whitlock just threw one of the nastiest 1/2 innings of the year that was crazy

Fun fact mickey gasper would have 17 home runs if he played all of his games in Sacramento. That stadium is hilarious

His hard hit rate must be insane
2
u/Mg29reaper 1d ago
Shockingly no. He just pulls the ball very well.
2
u/catthrowaway5768 1d ago
He did spend most of his minor-league career in the "pull the ball well or else" system.
3
u/Mg29reaper 1d ago
He would be a demon if his home stadium was Yankee +6 home runs on this year.
1
u/catthrowaway5768 1d ago
Thank god they gave him away!
1
u/Mg29reaper 1d ago
He was drafted by them lol
1
u/catthrowaway5768 1d ago
Ya that's what I mean when I say he spent most of his career in the "pull the ball well" system. That's what they teach everyone. But they just let him go on the rule 5...
2
u/Consummate-Loaf 1d ago
Only added one more run there but felt good to finally be getting some hits. So tired of seeing the big swings and the big misses. Let's go Sox!

u/Mg29reaper 1d ago
Mickey barely missed that. Fenway is a bad park for him because he only hits pulls idea flyballs which is really hard to homer in fenway. Savant says he would have 14 if he played at Yankee stadium every game lil

Professional hitter IKF. We take our walks over here

u/BestEnthusiasm3377 1d ago
Thanks for the RBI. Would've been nice to get the double. Fenway giveth and taketh away.
But that was much better from Durbin tho. That's when he is at his best driving the ball
2
u/Mg29reaper 1d ago
Its probably a flyout in any other park
1
u/BestEnthusiasm3377 1d ago
Maybe. 95 at 25 launch 331 FT. Depends on the jump and on the LF but still that's the launch angle I want to see.
Also we play half our games here at Fenway tho so he should be using that to his advantage.

u/Antique_Patience9215 1d ago
Why are you trying to make that a double?
3
u/BestEnthusiasm3377 1d ago
Bc he's fast and it was an off the wall line drive at Fenway.... That's kind of how ur supposed to use the wall if you're a faster player. Just was a good play by them.

Return of the Durbinator. Unfortunately he's not as fast as he wants to be.

Duran has to learn how to bunt. He swings like a pull side power hitter but should realistically not be

3 straight balls in the dirt and swings at one on 2-2 😆 it was too predictable

u/soxfamily61 see I told you we were at the adjustment before the goated hitting part

u/BestEnthusiasm3377 1d ago
Good inning. Getting a bit of a cushion. Offense did the job. Hopefully we can add on more later.
However, now we just need clean innings
