Gregg is spot on. That team *****es and whines about everything. Don't even call him Big Pappi anymore call him Big P***Y. That's exactly the way he acted tonight. Stare at your HR, run your mouth on two pitches that were barely off the plate, swing at a 3-0 pitch up 10-3 and stand and admire a 150 popout to CF. Then when the pitcher tells you to run you come out and try to get in a guy's face and backs away once people start swining . That guy is the definition of the big mouth bully who wants no part of a real fight. More than any team in MLB this Red Sox team has a sense of entitlement and it trickles down to their douchebag fanbase, even more than the Yankees. I swear I hate everything Red Sox. If God feels the need to punish me with more Red Sox- Yankees ALCS's I'll root for the Yankees every freaking time.

Yep not to mention the Red sox fans are the absolute worst!!!!!!!!

Having just watched the pitch sequence again, Gregg really instituted this by throwing inside three times, each one further inside than the last. Technically, he was "in the wrong" for doing that.

You know what? I don't care. He made a statement tonight and the team needed someone to do it.

The first 2 pitches werent that far inside. Just Pappi getting his panties in a bunch and he swung at a 3-0 pitch out of the strike zone up 10-3 and admired a 150 ft popup. That was by far the biggest thing faux pas of the whole thing. Gregg had every right to tell the fat piece of crap to run.

He was trying to nail hime with the 3rd pitch. Good for Gregg, IMO.

Do you think there are a lot of NY fans watching the highlights tonight saying Go Get Em Orioles. Try to take out Ellsbury, Pedroia and AGON on Saturday.

Yeah. They would love it if we threw down and guys got suspended. Or better yet injured.

Hard not to love stuff like this. Like the Adam Jones comments about the fans fighting the other teams fans during spring training. I love this stuff.

But it starts with the team. The team can influence the fans. Rarely does it go the other way.

      Draft Targets 2 Months Out

      By RZNJ · Posted

      I’d be very surprised too but it’s all about talent and where you draft.  At 22 it’s tough to get high ceiling talent.  I’d guess Brecht is a reliever at the next level but he’s got dominant reliever upside.  His stuff, reportedly, is as good as any pitcher in the draft.  95 strikeouts in 55 innings as a starter.

      He's already a HOF.  It's just that his injuries have killed his chances of being an Inner Circle HOF.

      With three more hits today, Etzel is at .360/.992. He has 171 MiLB at bats, so a third of a season. Which projects to a full season with:  513 AB 111 R 39 2B 12 3B 12 HR 114 RBI 93 BB 123 SO 90 SB 21 CS .339 AVG .445 OBP .532 SLG Not too shabby!

      Why I don't fully trust Catch Probability

      By brooks1083 · Posted

      I would love for someone to explain or justify to me how in the world Mullins catch on 4/15 is listed at 65% catch probability. There are a couple of guys in the league that make that catch but it’s a very short list. Maybe I just don’t understand the stat.

      Cade Povich 2024

      By Punchandjudy · Posted

      Not sure a pitcher technically can get “squeezed” by the automated strike zone but Povich had a number of borderline pitches tonight that could go the other way.  Handley was visibility perturbed by a few of the calls on walks and Povich doubled over in disbelief on a couple of walk calls. He reminds me a little of Tom Glavine how he throws, his wind up, how he hides the ball and how it explodes out his hand….sort of effortless. I heard the announcer for the Sound say Povich’s curveball hasn’t had a hit against it all year long and every other pitch is around .100 batting avg against.  In person, his fastball has a lot more giddy up than the radar shows.  98 pitches tonight and looks like he has a rubber arm.

      a game you'd hope Mullins, Mountcastle or Santander would step up and were let down.
