4/11 vs the Orioles

[RedSoxNC84]

Please don't let Chris Davis hit another goddamn homerun.

The O's ARE tough to beat, but let's be serious, they can't repeat their performance from last year in 1-run games, and their SP is weak.

[BornToRun]

Get the run back, please.

[CaliSoxFan04]

Could have been worse...

[BornToRun]

and NL pitchers

 

And Jose Iglesias.

With Aceves and Hanrahan, anything can happen.

Nap just isn't a real first baseman.

I'm talking about the whole season, not this series.

Decent enough start for aceves. Can't complain...

[BornToRun]

As nice as a walkoff would be, I'd much prefer us to break this bitch open so that I can watch the rest of this one without hyperventilating.

Let's hope the bullpen holds.

[jung]

Sour puss Ace in the dugout looks like he wants to send a pack a wild boars chasing after Farrell looking to make a snack out of his nuts.

Okay. But still, they find ways to score late in ball games and make closers look bad. This weekend they get Mariano with a ESPN game on Sunday. They won a lot of those 1 run games last year against pretty decent closers.

It's called a fluke. They were a good team last year, they did win all those 1 run games but there's not a snowball's chance in hell that they go 29-9 in them again.

lol at gary thorne saying tampa bay instead of toronto

[BornToRun]

Now we gotta make sure our pen can hold out longer than theirs.

Not against the other team's closers. They were usually ahead by a run entering the 7th inning, and from that inning on their BP was the best in baseball by a lot. I'll see if i can dig up the stats.

Is it just me or Aceves didn't like when Farrell said him that it was all.

[Sox Fire]

hey maybe it will go into extra innings and chris davis will pitch(or was that someone else)

[onlybereaved]

Jays got ravaged today - love seeing them struggle

He can suck it up. We got him through 5 without the dam bursting open, let's not tempt fate by trying to get him past the 6th.

Looked upset enough to cause Farrell to seemingly say something else along the lines of "it's ok man, relax and don't shoot the place up"

What SP likes to hear it?

[BornToRun]

Heart attack.

[wyo-sox]

My heart j u st sunk.... I really thought that was gone.

[jung]

Ace is probably the only guy Farrell would tell not to "shoot the place up" actually concerned that he mgiht.

 

It was Davis last year that pitched.

[Palodios]

Scary s*** from Morty.

[BornToRun]

I friggin despise close games.

[Sox Fire]

AA pitch count-79

Tillman-96

[onlybereaved]

I still say that someone on the team, or multiple people on the team beat up Aceves one day. Sometimes, guys like him just need to get knocked out and then turn out to be really good people. Otherwise, guy will just always act like he's gonna beat everyone up every day.
