8/6 @ Houston Astros

[italstallianion]

I wonder what the record for passed balls in an inning is.

[SeanJohn93]

Most Passed Balls In An Inning (19th Century) Dan Sullivan (StL-AA) with 5 on August 9, 1885, 3rd inning. Most Passed Balls In An Inning (Post 1900)

Most Passed Balls In An Inning (Post 1900)

Ray Katt (NYG-NL) with 4 on September 10, 1954, 8th inning

Geno Petralli (Tex-AL) with 4 on August 22, 1987, 7th inning.

 

Need to add Lavarnway to the list now

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Can we even score 2 runs tonight is the question...

 

You really think we're going to get shutout again?

[Station 13]

f*** off Farrell.

YOTN mojo puts the Red Sox in the record books!

Hell No! We're putting up 8+ runs tonight. This s*** is just frustrating though.

I wonder who the pitchers were. I would have thought Wakefield would have been behind one of those. (Until the dates/teams were shown)

[crc2120]

It's either a ball, a walk, or a passed ball with the ******* right now...

[crc2120]

This is just turning into a circus now...

[NativeBostonian]

Good idea; put this rookie out there, just for the hell of it, when you're trying to win the division.

[crc2120]

The Astros should never score 3 runs in an inning against one of the best teams in baseball. Inexcuseable..

[jung]

Lavs almost caught that one with his face mask.

[a700hitter]

I hate knuckleballers.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

I have never been so excited to get to the 2nd inning.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

I hate knuckleballers.

 

Tim Wakefield does not approve of this post

[NativeBostonian]

I hate knuckleballers.

 

Haven't we had enough with Wakefield?

[Station 13]

I hate knuckleballers.

 

I hate the air head manager even more with Workman sitting out there.

[crc2120]

Sigh....

[Station 13]

f*** this is ugly so far.

[italstallianion]

I just realized that if we lose this game against Houston, we go down 0-2 against possibly the worst team in the majors, and the only thing we have to save us from getting swept is the worst possible matchup of the series, Dempster vs. Cosart.

[jung]

They had Wright on a very short leash apparently knew they would pull Wright once they got Workman up. Even if Wright could throw it, it did not appear that Lavs could catch it.

[italstallianion]

I feel like after the 2nd or 3rd passed ball of the inning we should have pulled one of our OF's and had them stand behind Lavarnway cheating to the opposite side. At least then when there's a passed ball there's a lower chance of the batter advancing.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Farrell has dicked us so damn bad this game. Horrifying management to start Wright

[jung]

Do you think the Sox might learn at some point that they need to pay attention to the base runners since this is a team that is truly relentless about running? This is two nights in a row and it is like the Sox just don't care. The pitchers barely look over, let alone throw over.

[NativeBostonian]

I'll see you guys later. I am going to slit my wrists now.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

It just hurts to watch because you know this team has potential. Then this s*** happens, it's just ugly.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Starting Wright was definitely the wrong move

[User Name]

I'm not gonna be the type of guy to freak out over last nights loss or even a loss tonight too but holy s*** these are ugly. Gotta win these games. We're better, from top to bottom. Play like it

[jung]

Last night was much the same. No effort to stop the Astro's runners from getting walking starts or as much of a lead as they wanted to take and that was with an experienced pitcher on the mound. So, I am inclined to think that this is how the Sox want to play it for some reason.
