Red Sox @ Astros, Memorial Day 2021

I guess in theory, you could have a ball with an xBA of 1.000 that is caught for an out, if it’s hit to the deepest spot of any park in the league.

BTW, I started Rodriguez on my fantasy team. He has been terrible all year. Win or lose, I’m cutting him after this game.

We’re through four…4-0 Astros

Vazquez with a 2-out rule book double down the RF line…Red Sox first hit of the day.

I was just thinking he hadn’t given up a hit and then…

Halfway…still 4-0 Astros

That’s my understanding.

I like most of Kirkjian’s writing, but you’re right that he does not have a voice for radio or tv.

Who’s the PBP guy?

I fully expect him to give up some hits. It comes with throwing the ball in the strike zone, which I’m a big fan of.

Glad I’m listening to TK and Blummer.

Some guy, I don’t know. I’m not listening to them anymore.

Espn has at least three people too many in the booth and they are all morons

Yep. No way I wanted to watch and listen to ESPN gush over the massholes.

Same, I was just curious and didn’t want to flip over.

Doesn’t OPS+ take the year, and ballpark, and everything else and normalize it?

Again…curious.

Again, that’s my understanding.

Sonic popcorn chicken po-boy? I don’t know whether to be appalled or to go get one.

Yes…+ stats normalize to league average. So a guy could theoretically have an OPS of .500 and have an OPS+ of 150

I have burgers on the grill, a beer in my hand, and the Astros on the radio.

God bless America.
