I just kicked a hole in my wall. Not joking.

I need a photo of this.

So, so bad.

 

[weekend_warrior]

I had every intention of coming in here and laughing my ass off at the Red Sox, but man, it's just depressing to watch. They just look awful, and the vibe of the fans, it's like a morgue.

 

[Sanjuro]

Use the wall I guess a bit to excessively to push myself back from the desk chair. Did it a little too hard I guess.

 

[jman2050]

Never underestimate the pure inability of Brian Matusz

Never underestimate the pure inability of Brian Matusz

It seems like forever ago that he was a candidate for AL RotY.

 

[darkside31337]

Wasn't there a time when Matusz was considered a legit prospect? Or am I just imagining this? This guy is so awful. I'd rather watch AJ Burnett pitch than either of these two guys on the mound tonight.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

The two worst ERAs in the AL facing off, should be fun!

He was lights out the second half of last season. He got injured, lost velocity, tried to mess with his delivery, and now minor leaguers kill him. The sad odyssey of Brian Matusz.

 

[Sanjuro]

I love you Jed. Welcome back!

 

[jman2050]

12-10 game incoming.

omg

This should be in the playoffs OT.

This is so fucking prime, bros.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

well god damn, salty tears turn to sweet churros or something....

 

[Y2Kev]

Damn, matusz a scrub.

 

[Malo]

Both of these starting pitchers are so bad.

wait, what's that a picture of that was hanging right where you kicked?

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Should make for an entertaining night.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Fuckin Matsuz. Put in JoJo Reyes.

What's with you East Coasters and destroying shit while watching sporting events? First Wellington and his laptop, now Sanjuro. Jesus. Just beat your wives like we do here.

 

[Sanjuro]

That was after. I just threw up a comic book backer to cover the wall wound.

 

[Doomsayer]

Oh my God. Post of the year.

Fucking 'Sconi's.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Stanton just hit another huge bomb.

 

[Windu]

holy shit @ the stanton HR, that went far.

edit: oh great another one? beast

Hey you forgot about me. I broke my Macbook earlier this year during a 0-6 lose to the sox.

 

[Malo]

Got my popcorn ready.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Ricky Nolasco has a perfect game through 4 innings. He's only thrown 37 pitches through 4.

 

[weekend_warrior]

I'll never say another bad word about AJ Burnett after seeing all that is Brian Matusz. Wow, why would you even start someone that bad? He needs to find a new career.

 

[Sharp]

So, is Brian Matusz the worst pitcher of all time?

 

[Windu]

Ricky Nolasco has a perfect game through 4 innings. He's only thrown 37 pitches through 4.

i know he isn't the sole reason, but i hope we fire our hitting coach at the end of the year. Just about everyone on the team is having a down offensive year.

edit: also, Prado down to 87 wRC+ at the start of today, and he is hitting 2nd. alkdhakfhkdha

 

[darkside31337]

Matusz is a disgrace to baseball. I can't ever recall seeing a career flame out this bad since the Chicago Cubs were relevant.

 

[hemtae]

Looks like I should be glad I was eating during the first inning.

Parrish has managed to wreck Bourn now. Bourn's going up there just flailing at the first pitch now like everyone not named Chipper.

 

[Malo]

I'll never say another bad word about AJ Burnett after seeing all that is Brian Matusz. Wow, why would you even start someone that bad? He needs to find a new career.

He makes Aj look like Halladay.

 

[jman2050]

*enter game with 9.5 ERA*

*ERA goes up*

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Matusz is young though. Send him to the minors, try to work it out. The guy was a top pitching prospect, is he that lost?

 

[weekend_warrior]

Pedrioa makes routine plays look herculean.

 

[Sharp]

Didn't Halladay have that one year where he had a 10ish ERA? So maybe not all is lost.

...Maybe.

 

[darkside31337]

*enter game with 9.5 ERA*

*ERA goes up*

Look at the positive side, his FIP was only 7.34 going into this start. He's been ridiculously unlucky!

 

[Fenix]

Didn't Halladay have that one year where he had a 10ish ERA? So maybe not all is lost.

...Maybe.

Yup, 2000. 10.64 ERA in 67.2 innings.

 

[Sanjuro]

Conor "Motherfuckin" Jackson

 

[Sharp]

Look at the positive side, his FIP was only 7.34 going into this start. He's been ridiculously unlucky!

You know FIP's never been that accurate at the extremes.

 

[captmcblack]

Pedrioa makes routine plays look herculean.

It's all in the hop, man.

It's all in the hop.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

C'mon Lackey, just fall..... FALL!

 

[darkside31337]

Pedrioa makes routine plays look herculean.

Well his baseball idol growing up was Derek Jeter after all.

 

[Sanjuro]

You fucking idiot Lackey. Nice throw Darnell.

 

[Doytch]

Give it away, give it away, give it away, now.

 

[jman2050]

John Lackey is amazing.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

John Lackey signed through 2014!

 

[Sanjuro]

John Lackey is amazingly like AJ Burnett.

I agree.

 

[GitarooMan]

I think you can start to make an argument that Lackey is the worst free-agent signing in Red Sox history.

 

[Macattk15]

Damn, matusz a scrub.

Sure is.
