5/09/2023 Red Sox at Atlanta

Half of them or so have been balls.

True. He started out throwing strikes, but the first batter singled and the second one hit a homer on the first pitch, a curve right down the middle. So, lesson learned, and Pivetta walked the next Braves hitter and hit the next one with a pitch.

Now that the Braves have a 5-0 lead, Pivetta can settle down and show us how solid he is when he's already given the game away.

Pivetta is collapsing. Again. Wonder whether Cora just gave up.

[Jasonbay44]

This is about to be a big deficit . Pivetta has nothing

[d-money]

Could be a terrible night with the Celtics gagging like they always do. My goodness form the bruins to the Celtics.

[Maxbialystock]

Valdez isn’t much of a defender and only has 17 minor league innings at SS

If there is a game in which errors should be tolerated, this one has to be it. In 3 innings Pivetta gave up 7 hits and 3 walks.

Whoops, there goes another rubber tree plant! 7-1 Braves, courtesy of Mr. Pivetta.

Paxton is supposed to pitch in the next series in Boston vs the Cards. Does that qualify for a 'whoopie?'

[vegasbob]

With Yoshida, Duran, and Verdugo in the outfield, Kike plays infield or not at all. Duvall is probably going to replace Duran.

So , not at all, is in fact an option?

I was just saying in general I don’t think he can play SS at the major league level. Obviously it doesn’t matter who played short this game, Pivetta decided to shit himself on the mound.

[d-money]

My goodness what an awful night. I can take the sox being a bad team but the Celtics are just pathetic and gagging at home.

[Jasonbay44]

Fuck yeah, it’s Ryan Brasier time!

Keep in mind that during the 8 game win streak, the Sox scored no less than 5 runs ( once) and 6 runs ( once ) , all others were 7 or more runs. The second half of the lineup participated in a meaningful way. On Sunday, nobody hit much and tonight Devers through Mc Guire ( 4-9) are a combined 2 for 15 ( plus 3 walks) . That combined with Pivetta's awful outing gets you in the big hole you are in BoSox. Get something going tomorrow night and split this banana.

I would prefer that Dalbec , hitting for Casas, hits a 3 run HR.

DalbeKKKK

[Jasonbay44]

I feel like every time Dalbec pitch hits he strikes out

His future at the time was promising, I think he is officially done. He is not that young either. It's a shame but it is baseball. Some pan out and some don't. Hopefully it's not the same for Casas. We need badly a slugger at 1B.

[iortiz]

I didn't understand all night long the zone of the ump.
