5/20 Jays vs Red Sox

[NativeBostonian]

Probably should of pinched hit for Ross. A.J, although sucks, puts the ball in play more often.

[Station 13]

We had our share of chances in this game to put up a crooked number.

[BigPapi]

Although Clay's last outing wasn't terrible, he needs to stop this ******** and dominate like he can. I hope he can go seven without letting up more than a run.

What a difference a year make! Last year, we had everything fall into place. This year is the opposite. We had a rally going and Happ was on the ropes and XB hits a bullet that the third baseman dive for and gets a DP. An inning or 2 later we were tuning up Happ and Ortiz crushes a ball for the last out in one inning. Then we crush the ball some more and Farrell fails with a bunt with Ross. Then we crush it some more and he bunts and fails with Holt who had been hitting the ball hard. The first bunt down 4 runs was hard to comprehend, but bunting in the 8th inning down 3 runs was really baffling. Can someone explain that one to me.

 

We should have 8 or 9 runs.

[a700hitter]

Damn. 20 ks in 48 at bats is ridiculously high.

Ross is through. He looks like someone's Grandpapy out there. He used to be an okay hitter, but this is 2 years in a row of being really bad.

Indeed. I only ever want to see him when lester is pitching.

Bring up Vasquez. The guy is a dynamo behind the plate, and he couldn't hit worse than Ross.

[Palodios]

Hey Ortiz, pretend its October.

[a700hitter]

Will Farrell bunt again with 2 on and down 3 runs? LOL!!

[a700hitter]

Ortiz gives you your money's worth.

[BigPapi]

Alright nap you haven't homered in nearly a month. Lets go

[NativeBostonian]

That sucked.

[a700hitter]

In the 6th, 8th, and 9th we had the first 2 batters get on base, and none of the 6 scored. Would someone please explain to me the bunt attempts in the 6th and 8th? I just don't get it.

[a700hitter]

Okay, who gets called up to take Doubront's starts?

[Station 13]

Sigh...... this team is excruciating to watch.

Farrell is just desperate to try and create runs any way he can i guess.

Playing for one or 2 runs when you are down 4 runs in the 6th and 3 runs in the 8th? Just plain dumb. And Holt was hitting well tonight.

[d-money]

Farrell has been clueless this year.Why didnt he pinch hit for ross? Also shake up this lineup!!Bogaerts batting 6th is ridiculous.Bat him second.Idk what to say anymore about bradley.Notice he got the rbi when they where down 6-0.Bradley belongs in the minors right now.This offense has to be one of the worse in red sox history.I am sick of doubront already as well.I am prepared for a long season.

Hope we have fun in the wild card game this year. Can't wait to see the Red Sox WC Game debut!

I can't explain it, but it seems like the team has especially sucked in the situation of runners at first and second and no outs so I looked it up:

 

28 PA's, 26 AB's

 

2 singles

1 walk

1 RBI

And those numbers are no better whether there have been runners on second and third or first and second. He gave away two outs for a team that has trouble hitting. Also, last night was not the night for the manager to decide to manufacture runs. It was a high scoring game in which we were down big and we were hitting the ball very well all night long. It was just baffling.

There are 8 teams ahead of the Sox for the last WC spot.

Gordon Edes of ESPN Boston was equally bewildered by the bunts.
