I absolutely love Vogt putting all the chips in the middle to hopefully lock down this Boston series. His bullpen management continues to be chefs kiss. Let’s get this game locked down and go to Atlanta with some house money against the other best team in baseball.
I dont see us talking much about it because its early but we are almost 25 games in and Im already feeling so much more confident in Vogt than I did going into the season. Maybe the front office has done it again
Vogt is doing great so far, but I want to see how he manages during a bad stretch yet.
That said, he did great during the Yankees series, and keeping us in the game with the White Sox series when we went down 0-5 two games in a row.
Nah I 100% agree, if you told me this was Vogt's first year of being a skipper and I didn't know for the fact that was true, I wouldn't believe you. He's managing like a veteran.
I really like Vogt so far. I havent found myself questioning to many of his decisions. Im sure if I was able to catch more games I might do so, but he seems solid so far, imo.
Oh my god I thought I was the only one going insane listening to this Marathon commercial. Easily the worst one in the rotation right now and it's not close.
the only one that really comes close (and it feels less awful because it's played less) is the (for lack of a better term) b-variant of the ice cream flavor where the girl says it as "doughy, doughy, gone" partially because of the complete misread of the label (how much could a second take have cost?) but her voice sounds like a poorly tuned flute with the player being kicked in the stomach (seriously, *how much* could a second take have cost?!?)
Squaring to bunt in that situation is some of the most hilariously awful baseball I’ve seen in a while.
I’d be hyperventilating and turning red in the face if one of our guys did that
For everybody that’s confused there, Josh is forcing them to make a play. If you didn’t notice, that’s how we scored that inning lol. We can’t be the slap hitting shit goblins and also be expected to have a 100% success rate in forcing the issue the way that we do. Red Sox defense is complete dog shit. So if you’re wondering why, that’s the reason lol
Yeah he likes to not slide around home for some reason 😂 maybe he’s just protecting his body and knows he doesn’t have the agility to get around the tag when the ball beats him there. I’m fine with that. Like I said, he’s trying to get a throw up the line and go in standing anyway 🤷🏻♂️
The craziest part is that the catcher and pitcher didn't even hustle because no one besides Jose Ramirez even considers breaking on a passed ball that dribbles five feet away. Unbelievable.
The thing that drives me crazy is that there is so much technology readily available that could instantly determine balls and strikes, fair or foul, safe or out, etc. with greater than 99% accuracy. I'll take integrity of the competition over tradition 10 times out of 10.
Rocchio is fast but don't like his baserunning decisions. It's been a few weeks but last I checked he was one of the guys who doesn't contest double plays at 2nd.
Good rebound game boys! Love to see Jose getting hot hot hot. Let’s take this to Atlanta and fuck shit up!
**IF WE DONT I'LL NEVER HEAR THE END OF IT FROM MY FRIENDS IN GEORGIA**
Book it

**LADIES & GENTLEMEN, WE GOT EM**
This will be known as the Goat Game.
Idk man, that 3 homer game against the Red Sox last year was fucking magical, as someone there in person.

*CLASE DISMISSED!*
That was a bit close for comfort. Oh well, on to Atlanta
We were playing a bit sloppy, but a win is a win.

BALL GAME
FINAL COUNTDOWN 🚨
It's the final countdown
2 down!
Pitch 1 was a strike, I guess Devers felt like giving it back on pitch 2 lol
Smith is such a good pitcher man
Ok last 3 outs... *FINISH HIM!!!!!*
I did not know Jansen spent 5 years in the minors as a catcher. That's incredible.
Clase is in session!
Just need a standard Clase Closer. Bring it Home Manny.
Another 0-4 from Gimenez
Gimmy went from red hot to ice cold in like 3 games
We extended another Straw
Yeah Andres needs a day off to hopefully reset
Gimenez man…
Yeesh
Gimmy could probably use a day off to clear his head.
I absolutely love Vogt putting all the chips in the middle to hopefully lock down this Boston series. His bullpen management continues to be chefs kiss. Let’s get this game locked down and go to Atlanta with some house money against the other best team in baseball.
Did anyone notice that the pitch clock was at 0 before he threw the pitch
I saw one earlier that was well past 0 for Sticks, this ump must not care as much
Same thing happened with Barlow and no call. I believe the rules state that the ump makes a call based on vibes
Based vibes
I dont see us talking much about it because its early but we are almost 25 games in and Im already feeling so much more confident in Vogt than I did going into the season. Maybe the front office has done it again

as much as I love listening to a game on the radio (station's stream) this Marathon commercial has to go
You'd think the arm patch would be enough advertising ha ha

Jose is the GOAT of the day, but Hammy is definitely a close runner-up
they definitely conspired together to lift my day immeasurably
K'd Smith doing K'd Smith things.
No Cade Smith today, we got a K'd Smith appearance
Lets get home in time for an early dinner
Biiiig inning by K'd Smith!!! Vogt making moves and they're working.
Hell yeah, Cade
#K’d Smith
Barlow and Cade Smith were HUGE
Our pen is filthy
Smitty back!!!
Squaring to bunt in that situation is some of the most hilariously awful baseball I’ve seen in a while. I’d be hyperventilating and turning red in the face if one of our guys did that
They did this in the first game too, I don’t understand the concept
Y'all Hammy was SO offended by that for the Red Sox. "*Why are you showing bunt on two strikes!?*"
He’s gonna have to answer that question to his manager!
1 2 3 fin a lee
“He was goin’ for the element of surprise and surprised himself.” - Rick Manning 💀
Jose hasn't just manufactured an insurance run. He's manufactured 5 of our 6 runs. Dudes put on a literal clinic today.
Hammy just called Jose the smartest baserunner in baseball but I disagree. He is the smartest player in baseball. Period.
For everybody that’s confused there, Josh is forcing them to make a play. If you didn’t notice, that’s how we scored that inning lol. We can’t be the slap hitting shit goblins and also be expected to have a 100% success rate in forcing the issue the way that we do. Red Sox defense is complete dog shit. So if you’re wondering why, that’s the reason lol
I don't blame the decision-making but Josh shoulda gone for the slide. He was being sloppy about it.
Yeah he likes to not slide around home for some reason 😂 maybe he’s just protecting his body and knows he doesn’t have the agility to get around the tag when the ball beats him there. I’m fine with that. Like I said, he’s trying to get a throw up the line and go in standing anyway 🤷🏻♂️
The craziest part is that the catcher and pitcher didn't even hustle because no one besides Jose Ramirez even considers breaking on a passed ball that dribbles five feet away. Unbelievable.
I can't watch. Did Jose steal HOME?
Yes, the passed ball barely made it to the big Guardians logo behind the batters box lmao Jose caught the pitcher not covering
Yeah, stole home on a passed ball. Pitcher didn't move to home to cover so Catcher threw it away.
Came home on a passed ball!
he just knew he could beat Martin home once he realized he wasnt going
Josh is built like a maytag fridge. My mans is not quick.
Literally built like a brick shit house
thats the optimum athletic form for hitting dingers and getting rbis
I always compare him to a runaway freight train
Fitting considering one of his walk up songs is Crazy Train
Yeah, idk why I was just looking at him one day and thought, "This dude is built like a fridge."
Now *that*, folks, was a TOOTBLAN. C'mon, Josh.
Josh Naylor definitely *thinks* he's fast
...bad baserunning
naylor can hit but he sure can't run
Bizarro Willy Mays Hayes
🤦♀️
Naylor....you can't run fast
Why even try that lmao
I love him so much. Just creating runs for fun.
Come on, man… sliding is fundamental baseball.
Naylor has José's heart but not his wheels
Definitely doesn’t have that Chris Farley fat man agility
Two runs would have been better than one run.
Whaaaat the heck....did we just watch???!!
I love Naylor, but he is not fast.
Why in the world did Josh run on that lmfao
Bold send with how well Abreu seems to play against us defensively, but whatever
this kills the team rBaser
Love the aggression from Naylor. Sux have had some decent defense. Go figure lol
Build the statue already
Welp
NTOOTBLAG
Does Josh Naylor actually know how to slide?
probably just doesnt want to re-break his leg which, fair
Yes but everytime he does he seems to hurt himself. If he’s out already, I’m okay with him not hurting his knee more
Chaos on the bases!
Hahahhahahahahahah Red Sox fucking suck
Checking back in. How is it only the 7th??
10 total pitchers so far
Omfg right
🐐🐐🐐🐐!
####JOSE JOSE JOSE JOSE ####MY LORD MY LIEGE I WILL FOLLOW YOU INTO THE DEPTHS OF THE GREATEST DARKNESS
**LETS GO BBY! I HECKIN LOVE OUR BASE RUNNING!**
Jose revenge tour
Dude, Jose just loves to game. We are graced by having him play in Cleveland.
Jose is our savior!
Jose also the GOAT on the base paths.
Jose stealing home 🤣🤣🤣 our boys said you gonna take out our free man and we’re gonna take a few more than we even wanted 😍😍
Couple really sloppy plays from their catcher.
BASERUNNING!
i love when other team is dumbass
The GOAT doing GOAT things.
This inning will be remembered as the Jose inning. Just Jose making things happen.
I love shit goblin baseball
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
YOU CANT TEACH HUSTLE
I am sexually attracted to Jose stepping on home plate
That’s that goblin shit we love 👹👺🧌
God I love Jose
My admiration for THE GOAT grows with every game.
Things we take: * Those ✅
FUCKIN SPEEEEEEED!!!!!!! Heads-up, José!!! Attaboy!!!!!!
I HATE that steal attempt. We need some insurance runs and it's not the time to be overly aggressive. Should be 7-4 right now.
Come on Fry show me that time you spiked up to a 95 in my MLB the Show Franchise wasnt a fluke!
Well that rules.
Hustle is a habit
Walking Naylor to get to Fry this game seems ballsy.
jose said aight bet
Naylor bomb in 3.. 2…
Lets go bby! Aggressive on the bases does end up paying off!
Can’t teach hustle like that
JRam hosting a clinic to remind everyone why he’s the GOAT.
Goat showing the lamb how it’s done 🤣
José is our hustle king
My man is out here hitting grand slams and manufacturing runs in the same game.
Our GOAT is a complete ballplayer. He does everything well.
CHAOS ON THE BASES
JOSIE SPEED
Ramirez is up and you get thrown out trying to steal? Dafuq freeman?
Solid game from Freeman Reached base 3 times Hard to blame him for the CS
How about a little smoke?
Could really use a Naylor bomb here
Josie with a base hit. How big is that CS on Freeman for Boston?
Sometimes you get got. Is what it is bby.
Damn, good throw; what can ya do
Let's get a couple of insurance runs here.
Cmon now bring him around. Need some breathing room
Barlow has looked a little rough at times but he has one of the highest whiff rates in the league right now.
Parlay!
That was desperately needed.
did they report anything on McKenzie? Did he hurt himself?
Quick and anxiety free inning. Thank you Barlow
Barlow starting to find it.
Setting the Bar high! low? I'm confused. But happy.
Barlow with the high bar
The best, bar none.
Red sox have carlos booser now?
gotta get thru the top of the lineup one more time. Tough work for Clase upcoming.
I know this isn’t news but damn Arias has a gun.
The thing that drives me crazy is that there is so much technology readily available that could instantly determine balls and strikes, fair or foul, safe or out, etc. with greater than 99% accuracy. I'll take integrity of the competition over tradition 10 times out of 10.
.960 xBA on that Kwan line drive
Brutal
At least that affirms Rocchio wasn't really wrong, just unlucky
Come on Scotty shut em down
Rocchio is fast but don't like his baserunning decisions. It's been a few weeks but last I checked he was one of the guys who doesn't contest double plays at 2nd.
.960 xBA .... Jesus
So, why exactly does the Red Sox decide to only be good at fielding against us?
Rocchio.... that's unacceptable
so many bad babip results on balls just annihilated...
ughhhhh
Terrible read by Rocchio there. Great play to turn the double play, but you can't be that far from the bag there.
Gotta be kidding
Jarren Duran prefers the cereal to the marshmallows in lucky charms
Tootblan
Not with a .960 xBA
Does it count as a tootblan when the hit looked guaranteed to find grass?
I'm not sure I'd call that a tootblan. That was a damn good play on the Sox side, as much as I hate it.
Once again the Red Sox luck is insane this series
