8/5 vs Houston

[Lord Snow]

If we can't score off Wright we're not winning this game. This guy sucks. Is he only in for Ellsbury?

[Jasonbay44]

Hell of an AB by Ellsbury

He stared at strike 3, or at least a pitch that way too close to take with 2 strikes. He's lucky this umpire has been inconsistent all night.

One of the weakest links on this team is Salty's stat line against lefties.

 

.207/.293/.280/.574

 

Ew. David Ross would definitely be a huge help to this team.

I wonder what's the point of having a backup catcher if we're going to use Salty against a lefty.

Time to shine Napoli!

[Jasonbay44]

Please f***ing do something Napoli

[Station 13]

The squeeze probably not pull off if Salty call for a fastball instead of a splitter. The previous batter try it on a fastball and back off.

Nice job Napoli. First he swings at ball 4, then K's.

[Station 13]

f*** off Napoli.

[crc2120]

Pathetic and embarrasing. This team is going to lose to the Astros. What.The.f***.

[Jasonbay44]

f***ing Napoli. How many people has this f***er left on last 2 games? Jesus Christ

[SoxFanForsyth]

f***ing Napoli. How many people has this f***er left on last 2 games? Jesus Christ

 

15. In the past 2 games. Let that sink in.

[Palodios]

For all the mojo left in me for the season, Sox please win this game.

[jung]

This place has that weird, hollow, Trop Field feel to it.

[NativeBostonian]

Are there any good first basemen on the market next season?

That is absolutely insane.

 

Its also insane this Chris Carter guy somehow manages to strike out more than Napoli.

Some guy with an ERA over 6 is attempting to get a save in this game. This is pathetic.

[Palodios]

If the Red Sox don't make it past the 1 game playoff in the postseason, this game will be the reason.

[Jasonbay44]

They can't even make contact against this guy....

[jung]

Jeez two more games like this in a row will drive me right over the cliff edge.

[Palodios]

Shameful.

Lol shut out by the Astros. Low point of the season.

[Jasonbay44]

We didn't have a player make contact against Josh f***ing Fields, a guy who has an ERA over 6... SMH

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

The Sox need to show up against teams like the f***ing Astros. This is embarrassing and unacceptable.

[SoxFanForsyth]

What an absolute embarrassment. Losing to the freaking Astros?? Wow. That's as low as it gets.

 

I never liked Farrell giving Wright a start here. When you're in this tight of a pennant race, you take your off days when you have off days. You don't manufacture off days for your pitchers. If Wright loses today and then we have Dempster vs Cosart tomorrow, we could well get swept by the Astros. How disgusting.

Do you know what makes it more disgusting? Brandon Workman hasn't pitched in 7 days. If you want to give the starters a rest, why not let the guy with 3 consecutive quality starts have the chance? He'll probably get the ball in the 2nd inning...

Waaaaah, season over. Man, you guys are a bunch of cry babies. It's one game. Get over it.
