At some point we gotta start hitting. Our starting pitchers are giving us quality starts basically every game.
We have 3 friggin hits.

GFD it. It may be time for me to take a couple games off from watching.
Yanks playing surprisingly well this year. Aaron Judge is hitting 450+ foot home runs damn near every night.
And the team can't hit. That's the biggest problem. No one can set the table for Kemp or Freeman. Ender is back to not getting on base. This team still cannot manufacture runs, just like we couldn't with our bloated payroll lineup of B.J., Justin, Uggla, et al.
I wonder if SunTrust Park getting an early reputation for being a hitter-friendly park has messed with these guys' heads at all, meaning making them a homer-happy lineup. If that's the case, then we're screwed because power should be the last thing on these guys' minds. If we're going to consistently score runs, we have to manufacture them, and we suck at that.
Nah I don't think that's it. We're scoring more at home than on the road. We just suck at getting hits w/ RISP

I'm gonna be making a trip up your way sometime around August. Long story short. A few weeks ago a group of 20 of us took a trip to Punta Cana. We flew AA. The flight back got delayed like 10 times. So to get us back in their good graces they gave us a free round trip flight to anywhere in the US. My good buddy is a huge Redsox fan and the four of us are gonna come up and catch a game. He went last year for the first time and of course absolutely loved it. I told him I didn't care how good of a friend he was I wasn't wearing no damn Boston gear. I know it's a few months off but I'm gonna need some suggestions of places to go. My buddy said Legal Harborside is a must but that's all we got.
ETA. **** Boston.

Apparently major league pitching is so untouchable it's blatant cheating if you hit 11 homers in 23 games.
Ya im sure I can figure out some must dos for you. Let me know what you're looking to do (historical/touristy crap, bars/restaurants, breweries, beaches, etc), and where you're thinking about staying.
The Dark Knight needs someone to turn on the bat signal in the strike zone. He's walked two guys this inning and is falling behind to every single batter.
Also, R.A. Dickey has 4 RBIs now this season lol

LOLOL Ender just gunned down Jay Bruce trying to score from 2nd base on a single (with no out). He was out by 15 feet.
Dickey gets out of a big jam to keep it at 2-0. Now that I have PlayStation Vue and not shitty Comcast for cable, I can actually use the Fox Sports 2 Go app and watch the game on my phone. Perfect for day games. Discreetly keep it on my phone on my desk on silent.
Yeah, I have it on my desk using my Sling TV app on my phone. Why did we have cable again?
I don't know. I'm saving $30 every month, even with Comcast jacking up my internet price since it's no longer bundled.
Great bunt by Harvey. Where'd that clown play his college ball? Oh.
Also, there will be a combined 10 pitchers used in this game the way it's going.

I've been pleasantly surprised by Dickey. I thought he was done. He'll blow up now that I've said something though.
Same re: Dickey.
The Mets will come back and win since we aren't going to score any runs here with bases loaded and no out. Dansby is killing us.

Porcello pitched well for the Sox last night, (6.2 with 2ER) but took the L - unreal that we can't score more than 1 run in a park as friendly to scoring runs as Fenway.
Looks like we need to win every single Chris Sale start to be in contention this year. Which could happen - he's so dominant. Best pitcher in the AL for sure, and I'd put him up against pretty much anyone NL included.

Oh. I'm an idiot. My internet in the office is crappy so my feed kept buffering every so often. Didn't realize that as a result I had fallen a whole inning behind. That's why my commentary was so delayed.
Tweaked his groin (giggity) while sliding into second last night. He's day to day. Probably just giving him the day offsince it's a day game.
Judge is having a good season so far. His hitting has impressed me but his defense has impressed me more. For a big guy he can really move.
I must admit, I was skeptical of him last season when he struck out all the time. But he's developing great. If we can the same from Clint Frazier, Severino, Greg Bird, Jordan Montgomery and combine that with Didi and Sanchez, we have a playoff worthy team.
Oh look there's 50% of the crowd who gives a shit about the Braves.
