Strange that you'd bunt over the tying run only to pinch hit a .230 power hitter...

The Sox have a pitcher by the name of Jace Fry that is unhittable. We have to score before that guy comes around. He's really frickin good. FNA this is intense.

We faced him last night. 

He gave up four runs and never recorded an out.

[AngelsLakersFan]

Didn't realize we had a reliever with a change up like that! Beautiful pitch.

[eligrba4ever]

UPTON!!! With a glove??? Must have been an accident. LOL

what specifically did you conclude from this? I want to really dig in and own a naive person while I work out the stress of this crazy bet I made. Your position is that Jace Fry is bad at baseball but I want more details on how bad you think he is and why and I'll go from there.

I dont know anything, other than I heard Terry Smith mistakenly say he was entering the game today and didnt record a single out last night.

And then I checked the box score from last night and that's what I saw. I dont know chit about him.

Might  be a little early to write off your bet. But I wouldnt double-down, either.

really, you're gonna throw out reliever ERA in a gotcha post? How about the highest fWAR among all relievers in the entire game for the month of August?

since 8/22:

6.75 ERA

.333 BAA 

.360/.542/.902

Thomas, he is a reliever and as such a flake. What he did in one month tells you nothing about what he does. He had an ERA of nearly 12 in July, he started today with an ERA of 54 for September.

You are hanging your hat on the wrong coatrack.

way to follow up that sick ERA line with a post about ERA. It's not a stat that takes well to relief pitching I'll explain later this game is on now tho

you obviously missed the point that he's been getting absolutely rocked lately.

but you went to school with him so that doesn't count

[Lou]

my point is that he is far from unhittable.

Fletcher keeps coming up in big spots with 2 outs and Trout on deck...

I disagree. There was this one game back in the day when Ted Williams went 0 for 4. He was a .000 batter and all my buddies that hyped him up before we got on the subway to get to the stadium ate a grip of crow that day.

This guy is no Hector Santiago. Even on a full stomach.

Yeah, he should think of working the count in those situations.

Just now, ThomasSutpen said:

you missed all of August because you were prepping for your bunk fantasy football league where you can win no money but bragging rights

You are right, I was not following the White Sox in August. I don't think anyone but you were and that includes the state of Illinois. 

[eligrba4ever]

Lucky Cowart is a bigger dude than is usual for second base. Fletcher just bounced off.

Oh, come on Parker.

[eligrba4ever]

Oh, come on, Parker. Again.

[Blarg]

Parker is always a roller coaster. I dont remember him having a clean 9th inning. 

[Blarg]

One wild pitch away from a tie game. 

[AngelsLakersFan]

well it all comes down to this...

[Blarg]

The feared Nicky DelMonico with his. 215 batting average forces a mound visit. 

And now Parker is lifted because he isn't trusted to get a guy out that batting average weighs less than him.

Mike has a bad feeling about Blake. In comes Alvarez.

Mike usually waits until the closer blows the game before making the move.

[eligrba4ever]

LIGHT IT UP!!!

Heandog even at 9-9. Alvarez finishes!!!

Catch the plane and get out of there.
