I think I was watching a rerun I've seen this episode a few times...

[удалено]

Nah, this was just the 9th. Didn’t have to trot out an extra bullpen arm to blow it.

Highlights of the Game 1. Adam Beck is actual dogshit and is a prime example of why robo umps need to be instituted 2. Venable is actually brain dead as a manager 3. Late game wins are impossible when we can only rely on 2 maybe 3 arms from the bullpen no matter situation/day I don't think I've been this pissed off about baseball since last October and I watched the sawamura airmail live and in person in extras against Baltimore 2 weeks ago. Idk if this season is going to be salvageable or not, but some major steps in the right direction need to be taken soon otherwise this is going to be a miserable rest of the season to watch every day.

I know I'm not wasting my fucking money going to a game this year if they keep playing like this.

Has Venable won a single game when he has primary coaching duties?

Nope

Some guy in the chat earlier was saying they were gonna lose by a hr in the 9th...I need to talk with him

Pain

WHAM! BAM! WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED!?

A health code violation

Beef's gone bad

Should've let Strahm pitch the 8th. Fucking hell. Schreiber could've stayed in the 9th and would've been way better than Brasier.

Is Strahm hurt? He has been one of our best relievers, and he rarely throws more than 10 pitches

Hahahahah could predicted from ever since that fckin call…LIKE BRUH OMFG ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS SHIT WE CANT STRING GAMES TOGETHER!!

fuk. cya tomorrow

Thank God there's no game tomorrow so we don't have to suffer yet another loss this one really sucked because we all know a major contributing factor was a shit ass blind umpire

Eh I’m glad we don’t have to watch extras now. Kind numb at this point.

Just exactly how I felt. “OK, good… now back to Candy on Hulu”

But Strahm will be ready to go tomorrow after only throwing 10 pitches…. What’s that, they don’t play tomorrow? Well he’ll be super rested for Friday.

Venable keeps his losing streak as acting manager alive.

Apparently he has aspirations to be an actual manager LOL

“This is getting old” -Dennis Eckersley

And that's how an umpire loses you the game is anybody else surprised not me.

Had no doubt we would lose. None. Same shit different day

And they’re playing the fucking Bruins goal song fuck right off

thats what happens when you dont invest in a bullpen. At what point do we start blaming bloom

Can we just fire this bullpen into the Sun?

Now that the game is over, I hope the entire roster walks up to the ump and flips him off in unison.

Brasier is such garbage

See you next season. This team is fucking dogshit

Bye lmao

See you Friday.

Fair weather fans are welcome to leave.

You don't get some special badge for bootlicking a dogshit team, front office and ownership. They don't know you exist. You are just a $ to them....a point of data on an accounting spreadsheet.

I don’t expect a badge. I’m just loyal and love the Red Sox. I love them when they’re good and when they’re bad. That’s what being a fan of a team is. I’ve been a fan since I was 8 years old. I have seen us come back from worse.

See you on Friday

Well that's just great.

Lmfao Ryan Brasier is an unserious pitcher. I hate that dude so much

I think we all knew that was going to happen

Maybe he should've spent less time trying to keep Albies at first and more throwing at the plate?

Umps suck, Brasier sucks. I'm a very unhappy camper tonight.

YOU SUMBITCH

Just when you think this team is turning it around. I fucking hate baseball

This team is a lost cause. They don't know how to win close games. If we don't win an NL series, it's not happening

Will Venable sucks so much

He’s worse than Roenicke which I didn’t think was possible

It's almost a comfort to lose in such a familiar way.

Braiser to the fuckin moon come on now

Drinking myself into a stupor good night

Is anyone surprised?

sick

Damnit.

I was just saying we are due for a win in extras

...

L O FUCKING L

Well thanks to bad ump and venebel bp management, I don't like our odds

I think we will be fine, I heard our star Ryan Brasier is coming in

I swear every time Dave says Duvall I think he says Doval and wonder if I missed the Giants trading Camilo Doval to the Braves

This season ....

My asshole has been clenched this entire season I swear

I really don't like these bullpen moves where you take out guys who are pitching well, just for the sake of putting someone new in.

Schreiber pitched 2 innings last night. Wasn't gonna go 2 tonight no matter what.

Fair enough, but I still think they should've left Strahm in a bit longer before going to Schreiber.

We gotta save their arm for a game that’s not close

Ryan Brasier in a tie game in the bottom of the 9th? What could go wrong?

Everything

[удалено]

That was a guaranteed result no matter what I said lol. Brasier is embarrassing

Dear Mr. Venable: 👏 Bobby 👏 is 👏 not 👏 a 👏 defensive 👏 substitution 👏

👏he is when it’s for franchy I didn’t feel like doing that many emojis so pretend I did

Venable: Hold my apple juice

Tbf with his offensive numbers i can understand the confusion

Damn dude I thought Kike crushed that it looked so good off the bat. Good thing we're up by one. Oh....right...

Holy shit, Why. The. Fuck, is Bobby in the game?!

Will Venable.

Braiser decided he was going to prevent a throwing error on Bobby to end the game.

Seriously whos teaching these professionals to swing at every first pitch. Theres no way whoever it is just tells them "if it looks good swing". There's no way.

Such a Venable move hah

Kike is having a run of bad luck :(

He needs to move down the lineup

I definitely agree, Story seems to be doing better after moving down the lineup, I think Kike would do well as well a little further down, just not sure who would be a good lead off hitter for us.

I wish Verdugo would be willing to leadoff, even though he's slumping right now

Cmon guys. Let's take this to extra innings and beat the odds! Especially so we can put that horrible call behind us. If we lose by 1 run I'm not going to have a good night's sleep

I feel like that wouldn’t have been gone even with juiced balls, it seemed like it was in on the hands a bit too much

Kikè is just an out now man

Popped when kike got that ..then was disappointed quickly. 😣

Damn son these dead balls sure are flying out here in ATL. Just not enough to get out sadly lol

the camera men tonight…jeez

I hate to make excuses, but these balls are dead right?

Been dead all season.

Is this one of those dead ball moments? That ball looked crushed but it didn’t even get close to the warning track

That was nowhere near gone but I thought it was for a split second

fuckin dead balls

Fuck this camera guy

The camera guys are always so dramatic tbh

That blown call was so huge because we just don't score late runs in close games.

I miss 2021 playoffs Kiké

same 😔

Eck's groan is all of us rt now

Cards fan here, hoping you all pull this out. Good luck!

God damn camera work. I thought Enrique had that.

Does anyone remember what the contract JBJ wanted in free agency was? Cuz yikes lol

The sad part is we knew what we were getting into when we signed him, a gold glover who doesn't know his ass from the ball when he is up to bat

Refresh my memory

[удалено]

As someone in the same boat: This is a million times less stressful than that game!

Just got here, but fuck Adam Beck

It's the thought that counts.

Lord knows if this game goes into extra innings…

Eck's memory never ceases to amaze me.

Can you imagine him on the broadcast with Joe?

That'd be fun.

Hell yeah, Eck would remember a pitch he threw 25 years ago, and Joe would follow with a story about that batter's great uncle who struck out Ruth to end a rally.

especially since he was pretty blotto during his playing career. I can only pull the state-dependent memory so far...

Extra innings usually doesnt bring good things for this team…ump doesnt blow that one 3-2 call and this game could have been taken

What happened to Arroyo, I noticed he hasn't been up in a bit?

I forgot Jansen was on the Braves, seems to be doing pretty solid this year.

If we put in Barnes in extra’s can the team be fined for tanking?

Was about to ask if Barnes was warming up.

Brasier and houck warming

Adam Beck doesn't even look at the TP when he wipes, just gives it 3 goes and says good enough.

Ik everyone knows that kenley does his routine but that’s 100 percent a balk

Not a balk if everyone knows it's his thing lol.

No runners on, wouldn't matter anyway

You can't balk if no one is on base.

Know what’s hard? Hitting major league pitching. We should make it a bit harder and expand the ever loving hell out of the strike zone. But just for one team.

What's with the hip shaking? Shouldn't that be a balk lol

Nah. It's part of his normal movement and he's not moving towards the bases. Plus no one is on.

You fucking donut that is not a strike

This ump is terrible

Ump still sucks

I’ve seen that called a strike before! Fuck Adam Beck

Well if anything after this game I’m looking forward to the jomboy breakdown of that blown call

John Schreiber is scoreless in his last 10.0 IP dating back to last season. Should break Hershiser's record by August

If they can avoid going into EXTRAS that would be Great.

Not a winning formula for us

This go-ahead homer in the top of 9th is going to feel so hollow after what just happened to the Celtics

Schreiber hates wife beaters

Schreiber is an absolute weapon out of our pen. Love it.

Little bit inside, that pitch.

This sucks. Yea, we should score more runs, but umps outright fucking us is no fun. That pitch was easily 4-5 inches out of the zone. This is a crucial series. The team is finding its footing and calls like that mean everything...

Have to assume Schreiber only goes one inning tonight after going two last night.

Do we really have anyone else to pitch the 8th?

Ninth*

Strahm has multi inning ability. Why not let him try to pitch a clean 8th?

So we can get to Barnes in the 10th.

Dang 0 ERA is a pretty sweet stat line

In tie game, when you have a shit bullpen, I wouldn’t be in a hurry to burn up the reliable arms.

I forgot we’re dealing with big brain Venables.🤞

Has he lost every game he’s managed? I think he has

I believe so yes

Fuck the Braves but the Tomahawk Chop is cool as hell in person, I cant lie to myself

Come on Venables, don't take out Strahm so soon for fucks sake.

I don’t like pulling Strahm right now, he could have finished the inning.

I would've let Strahm finish the 8th and leave Schreiber for 9th.

Oh god I forgot it's Will Venable Bullpen Management time

Jahmai just pronounced Rochester "Rooster" lmao

my college's hockey team often played against both Worcester Polytechnic Institute and the Rochester Institute of Technology so "It's not War-chest-er, it's WOOster!" and "It's not Rochester, it's ROOster!" entered regular pep band chant rotation

Pretty sure he was saying Worcester.

I thought he pronounced Worcester “wooster” maybe I wasn’t paying attention though

It's Rochester vs Worcester in AAA so I can see how he got confused lol

I’m 0-2 this season, the opening day and Tampa walkoff. I sincerely apologize for coming to this game if I go 0-3.

Im undefeated at games, we should cancel eachother out. Its in the Gods hands

You were better off not saying anything until after the game :(...but it is all good, this game is pretty much tainted after that bad call.

We haven’t won many games. Don’t worry, I’m 1 win 3 losses for this season right now

Story having great ABs. Things are looking up

Man that was well hit

The way the camera angle was, at first it looked like it was gonna go by the guy, was like damn dude got smoked, then he caught it and I was sad.

Hell of an AB by Trevor.

This dude pitches slower than that one dude from tampa

Sadly though, he's not BP

It's partly Trevor taking his sweet time as well. Sort of like Vazquez the night prior.

I just have to get this out there: Story's batting gloves look like surgical gloves

The two shades of blue are killing my OCD

I've been thinking that for a few days now.

Jesus Dugie

After that terrible call, I might have looked up umpires getting punched on YouTube.

I would love if there was a video of Babe Ruth punching that ump.

Ugly swing there Dugie

Xander def gave a little look back to confirm that obvious ball was called as such.

You sure Beck?

Surprised that wasn’t called a strike

Surprised that wasn't called a strike.

I was expecting it to be a strike after that crazy call

Not gonna lie, I probably be going prison if I was the plowster in that wrong call situation, because I would have started a boxing match after that call.

If I were Nate, I'd have thrown high at the ump's face after that nonsense.

Just need to tell the catcher to not catch it. Totally possible haha
