I missed the game tonight.

Went to a Taylor Swift concert with my girlfriend. Yes, I am ready to be shit on for admitting it.

Anyway, it looked like an incredible game! It always makes me smile to see the long faces of the Red Sox “fans” after they lose.

Let me put it this way.

If this was required to avoid sleeping on the couch for the indefinite future, necessity IS a legal defense.

In Jakubauskas' last two starts he has thrown 208 pitches and missed four bats

Tonight Jakubauskas threw 105 pitches and missed four bats

He doesn't miss bats.

Not the best sign in the world, but it doesn’t mean he can’t be effective. Honestly he looked pretty good this game, all things considered. Not fantastic, but not terrible.

Fortunately Ichiro was fantastic. And he was a pitcher before he was drafted! Maybe we should put him into the rotation!

Look upon my 62% faceoff win rate, ye mortals, and despair!

Ryan Franklin and HoRam had games where they looked "effective".

That doesn’t mean he doesn’t belong on a MLB roster, but if WFB had a pitching counterpart, it would be the Ostrich- we’re talking 25th man/emergency starter/bullpen long guy sort of stuff

Whoa whoa there

when did Ho Ram look effective?

That curveball was baffling people later on, though. That's a nice thing to see.

Angry Jakubaustrich!

“Angry is a good word, there was a little bit of anger,” Jakubauskas said of his mind-set after three innings, down four runs with a reliever warming up. “It was a big gut check for me. Personally, I was sick and tired of giving up runs. I’ve been doing it for too many starts in a row and it was going to end after the third. I don’t care how, it was going to be done.”
