8/8 vs Texas

[SoxSport]

Mortenson just couldn't recover from the shock of being asked to pitch a 3rd inning. It's usually one inning and out for relievers on this team. Good or bad.

 

The tweet consensus is Aceves should have started the 9th. Bobby blew it.

[wyo-sox]

Yeah but if you gave me a choice I would go with guys like Tazawa and Breslow over Mortensen and Melancon any day....

 

Didn't they both pitch last night?

[NativeBostonian]

Another deep flyball off Aceves. What's the latest on Bailey?

 

He broke a nail. He is going to be out for another couple of months.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Gonzo, Ross, and WMB up in the 9th. This s*** is gonna be good.

[kapsis21]

Ok guys they'll have Nathan up. Trust me' date=' he's been all over the place this year and has blown more than a handful of games this year..[/quote']

 

no ways not happening..

Bailey was last seen pitching batting practice in Portland. Likes the weather out there.

[crc2120]

f***ing A-Gon....that was way high. Let him throw pitches he walks guys a TON.....

[crc2120]

Pinch runner?

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

JUST GET A BASE HIT AND KEEP THE GAME ALIVE

[wyo-sox]

Well no matter what happens here, I can't be upset at the boys with the bats.

[NativeBostonian]

Pinch runner?

 

Don't they have the same amount of speed?

[crc2120]

Well f*** me....

[NativeBostonian]

WMB should have took some tips from Youk. He swings at balls a lot.

[crc2120]

Don't they have the same amount of speed?

 

Thats what I was thinking....

[crc2120]

Geez Middlebrooks and Lavarnway made Nathan look like a world beater....

[NC Sox Fan]

Hamstrung by pitching,,, again.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

This is ********.

[Laser Show]

Our hitters did a great job today. The ONLY person to blame here is Beckett, yet again.

[wyo-sox]

Just remember Cherrington said Beckett is part of the solution and graves the team the best shot at winning games. What a joke!

[SoxSport]

Can't win the close ones. Somebody always screws up. This time it was the manager. I think V should resign. The atmosphere on the team has gotten to him.

[Thunder]

It's like they don't want to do anything to move up in the standings. They still have a mathematical chance.

[wyo-sox]

Cut Josh, trade him, fake an injury..... whatever. They aren't getting their money back any way any how on his remaining contract, best way he can help the team is to stay far away from that dirt circle in the middle of the diamond. Josh pitches = Sox loose.

Maybe so, but I don't see it happening.

They're a .500 team, period. Beckett and Lester still suck. Lost both Texas games.

I think they're both out of shape. The Papi syndrome.

Playing hypothetical guesses you can say possibly Valentine cost us a run or two. This loss is all about starting pitching.

[a700hitter]

We scored 9 runs today so we should have had a chance, but Beckett kicked our legs out from under us. What did he have to say in the post game presser?

[Thunder]

Just for the record, first 3 games of the Guardians series feature Doubront, Buchholz and probably Cook/Morales. Doubront and Buchholz also go against the O's but after Beckett starts. Yankees series after that looks like Cook, Lester, Beckett. When they get Ortiz back, things WILL start to turn around.

You sure? How many times this season did we say that? I'm usually very optimistic but f*** this team right now.

Yeah, like 700hitter's sig line says, sooner or later.
