TWiB Notes -- July 11-18

[Frayed Knot]

Yanx again hit into a bases loaded GIDP, this time to end the 10th, after, again, loading the bases with no ball leaving the IF

Only so long that the BoSox will get away with this shit.

Sawx score on a Very Short wild pitch w/2 outs in 10th.

Now let's see if they can make a one run lead stand up in the ghost runner era.

KCR won their first game in Toronto with eight minor league Covid replacements on their roster on Thursday night ... but no such luck tonight (8-1 Jays)

[Frayed Knot]

Sox win!!!!

[Frayed Knot]

It's going to be another long one in the Bronx.

1st inning took a half hour. 4-1 Yanx. Multiple hard outs on each side or it would be more.

Taillon & Pivetta are the [CROSSOUT]victims[/CROSSOUT] pitchers, at least for now.

And Matt Carpenter hit another HR, his 12th in 72 ABs.

Bonds, in the year he hit 73, didn't hit 'em at this rate.

Time to have fun with an MFY fan.

Ask him if Carpenter's success is because:

1) American League pitching sucks, or

2) He plays in a bandbox, or

3) both



Then add:

His improvement is more dramatic than Paul O'Neill's, but probably without the steroids.
