Boston is going with a bullpen opener tonight Mets will attempt to make the Braves series a distant memory. 57 games to go

I guess with masks and spacing a team can somewhat safely travel in 2-3 buses. Sharing a late night bathroom on the nicest of buses must be a hoot. Does the first guy to throw down a deuce get fined or just buy everyone steak and eggs for breakfast? >wachawachawachawachawacha<

Quickie KTE Boston is coming off losing two of three to Baltimore and their pitching is a mess at the moment ... as a bullpen game in the 4th game of the season should probably tell you. David Price is sitting this year out; Chris Sale had elbow surgery and is on the injured list as is 19 game winner from 2019 Eduardo Rodriguez. Also gone from last year is Rick Porcello (oh wait, that's an asset!!) so they signed ex-NYM'er Collin McHugh to help out but then he decided to Covid it out this year. Hard throwing but erratic Nathan Eovaldi won their opening day game but then they lost 7-2 and 7-4 while ex-Ranger Martin Perez and journeyman Ryan Weber toed the rubber. Oh yeah, and they don't have that Mookie feller anymore and Dustin Pedroia continues to do his best David Wright impression. Former Blue Jay Kevin Pillar takes over for Betts (they used to have Kevin Millar and now they have Kevin Pillar). Benintendi & J Bradley Jr round out the OF Raphael Devers & X. Boeaerts at 3rd & SS are familiar but not so much Jose Peraza (ex Cincy Red) at 2nd or 2014 1st round pick Michael Chavis at 1st Definitely being looked at as a transition year for the Sawx

Conforto said playing Call of Duty on the bus together was fun. It feels like a throwback to a better time. Give me the waffle house today C'mon Dom, its' your day!!

This is the big leagues in a pandemic. SIX buses rolled north.

kcmets Jul 27 2020 05:31 PM Re: IGT 6/27 Mets v Red Sox Osich Wacha

That conjures up quite the sight at a Mass Pike or the like rest area.

Chad ochoseis Jul 27 2020 05:39 PM Re: IGT 6/27 Mets v Red Sox Osich Wacha

I wasn't paying attention during the off-season. Why aren't they flying? Chartering a few planes for an hour is probably safer than six buses for five hours, and the cost difference should be rounding error for a major league operation.

Johnny Lunchbucket Jul 27 2020 05:41 PM Re: IGT 6/27 Mets v Red Sox Osich Wacha

Well I applaud Rosie for the effort

Johnny Lunchbucket Jul 27 2020 05:44 PM Re: IGT 6/27 Mets v Red Sox Osich Wacha

Now McNeil picked off. Sloppy yo

Frayed Knot Jul 27 2020 05:51 PM Re: IGT 6/27 Mets v Red Sox Osich Wacha

Yeah, nice idea by Rosie but the reaction by Bogaerts was quicker than expected. And while he probably did tag him I'm not sure there was enough there to overturn but that whole "conclusive evidence" standard went down the tubes practically from Day One of the replay rule. Ya just hate to see a team that can't get on base so far running into two outs in the same inning.

Frayed Knot Jul 27 2020 05:53 PM Re: IGT 6/27 Mets v Red Sox Osich Wacha

So are they going to play "Sweet Caroline" to an empty stadium tonight? And, if so, who's going to do the "So Good, So Good' parts?

LWFS Jul 27 2020 05:55 PM Re: IGT 6/27 Mets v Red Sox Osich Wacha

The changeup looks PRETTY tasty.

Plus bus service gets you essentially door to door - or at least Citi directly to their Beantown hotel.

Conforto clobbered that one

ashie62 Jul 27 2020 06:04 PM Re: IGT 6/27 Mets v Red Sox Osich Wacha

Sewald got the HR ball

And Alonso crushed. Both guys who went yard are wearing orange belts

Hope Springs eternal off this reliever.

Jeez, Alonso crushed that.

Frayed Knot Jul 27 2020 06:28 PM Re: IGT 6/27 Mets v Red Sox Osich Wacha

So McNeil hits twice against the shift ... but manages to hit it directly at the lone fielder on that side both times ... and yet still winds up on base at the end of each.

Johnny Lunchbucket Jul 27 2020 06:42 PM Re: IGT 6/27 Mets v Red Sox Osich Wacha

This Wacha guy is aight, so far. Can't imagine we were all that excited about his arrival

Nats are down 4-1 in the 9th vs [CROSSOUT]Toronto[/CROSSOUT] Buffalo And the Rays seem to have figured out how to hit Atlanta pitching cuz they're thumping los Bravos 12-5 in the 7th down in Florida The rest of our division, as you might have heard, is taking the night off.

Wacha done after, what, 75 pitches? Now, like a bored priest, we are all about Chasen Shreve and prayin'.

LWFS Jul 27 2020 08:03 PM Re: IGT 6/27 Mets v Red Sox Osich Wacha

You know those courtroom dramas where the whole thing is kicked into gear by, like, an awful gang sex assault or racist beatdown out back at some honky tonk, or off the side of some country road midway between the nearest farms... but there's one guy in the group who's a little less than fully into it, especially when things turn REAL ducked up? That guy who the idealistic prosecutor/defense attorney/victim's kid/victim's parent pressures into testifying against his buds? Give him a middling fastball and slider and good fielding reflexes, and you've got Mr. Shreve.

Johnny Lunchbucket Jul 27 2020 08:09 PM Re: IGT 6/27 Mets v Red Sox Osich Wacha

Turned off their engines after the big lead. Also, it appears that the Red Sox suck.

Frayed Knot Jul 27 2020 08:13 PM Re: IGT 6/27 Mets v Red Sox Osich Wacha

This straight-in CF camera at Fenway shows the pitcher in direct side-view and really accentuates how much bulk Familia lost over the winter.

Johnny Lunchbucket Jul 27 2020 08:23 PM Re: IGT 6/27 Mets v Red Sox Osich Wacha

Let em back in. Perhaps we can force another Diaz appearance

Benjamin Grimm Jul 27 2020 08:24 PM Re: IGT 6/27 Mets v Red Sox Osich Wacha

I hope Lugo gets a chance to get four outs.

Phillips Valdez ... maybe he was named for the oil tanker that crashed in Alaska a bunch of years ago?

Back to .500; gain either a half or a full game on each of the division rivals; undefeated on the road; straightened out our really bad looking Pythagorean projection (and isn't that what's really important?) So a good night all around.
