I see the Jack struck out the side again in the top of the fifth. 10 K’s total. In five innings. Pitch count 96 so he’s done.
This team is kind of unwatchable right now. And literally for me, because my MLB.TV account expired today and I’m not motivated to spend $139.99 this very moment to watch these guys. Maybe I’ll feel differently in a month.
Sonny Gray is so afraid of Zach McKinstry. He pitched him like he was Ted Williams or something. Nothing even close to the strike zone. They used to do this stuff to Brandon Inge too.
Now it’s five strikeouts in a row. Is there any indication that the body snatchers have got a hold of him? Is there a weird button in the back of his neck or something?
So Jack has struck out four guys in a row. I was hoping that he would hit Story in the back like Framber did, but I’m not allowed to have what I want this world.
Is it just protocol to suspend and fine the manager in a situation like this? Did AJ go out to the mound just before that pitch and tell Framber to “clothesline that bastard?” I stopped watching by that point.
And our club is responsible for 20% of Boston’s measly 15 wins, a team that fired its Manager, and most of its coaching staff and sits in last place in the East…
The entire Central AL is now officially -.500. We are tied with Cleveland as the best of the worst. And the White Sox are the hounds of hell nipping at our feet.
The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.
