Red Sox vs Blue Jays----Do We now Turn It Around or Not?????

[seabeachfred]

I'll try and start the game thread for tonight's game unless I'm upstaged again by someone else who was promised this thankless job. The stumbling Red Sox play host to the Blue Jays in the opening of a three game series, and what is not needed is to help another team get out of a slump at our expense as the Rays and Orioles did. We're at home and we have to hit in sync, t he pitching has to be crisp and consistent and the manager has to show some dugout smarts for a change and have someone warming up by the sixth inning and being a little faster on the draw this time in getting him out of there when trouble brews. We seem to have trouble with those damn nuclear innings.

 

In addition, the league's leading hitter has to be in the lineup, and I don't want to hear anymore stupid mutterings from Farrell that "it is a real challenge to find a way to get Holt in the lineup". Oh really???? Tonight Joe Kelly, who may or not be our No. 1 pitcher, takes the rubber against a guy named Sanchez who is 1-2 with a high ERA. It is time for our team to start playing baseball, stop feeling sorry for themselves and stop pointing fingers at the umpires or the opposition. There are some people in the lineup who are not doing the job and they must be taken out of the lineup, our bullpen has to stand tall and the Red Sox must start showing some of that hard edged pride that has won this franchise three WS Titles the past 11 seasons.

 

Let me do my part to help this along......Tonight we watch our Red Sox win the opener by a score of 7-4----and then go on to win this series and the next one, and possibly the third one too.

I wonder if the game will be rained out?

Looks like sprinkles. Should stay dry here in CT, so it's not a huge system.

 

What's up with the 6:10 start for the next three games?

I feel like there has been a ridiculous amount of weird start times this year. This is at least second 6:10 start time

We got pretty lucky and Bautista didn't play against the Rays the entire series, and EE isn't hitting very well right now. I think he might still be on the shelf for at least the first two games of your series. You just got to hope that your pitching doesn't jump start the potential their offense has.

It's an April adjustment for sunlight/weather/kids schooling purposes. Will be back to normal in May.

Come on Red Sox. Give me something to feel good about. I just lost my job and had my car totaled all in one miserable day. Edited April 27, 2015 by NativeBostonian

Damn I'm sorry that happened to you

[NativeBostonian]

Come on Kelly. You're the only bright spot of this rotation.

[NativeBostonian]

f***ing Christ

[Northern Star]

Come on Kelly. You're the only bright spot of this rotation.

 

with your awesome 4.08 ERA. But I'm still a believer in Machine Gun Kelly.

[Station 13]

Donaldson should be rung up.

[Northern Star]

24 pitches and counting. Let it pour.

Sorry to hear about that NB. I really hope the Sox can give you/us a win.

 

Go Sox!

[Northern Star]

f*** this. Let the heavens open.

[NativeBostonian]

Good God, just get out of this!

[Kimmi]

It's hard starting every game off at a deficit.

[Northern Star]

Come on Red Sox. Give me something to feel good about. I just lost my job and had my car totaled all in one miserable day.

 

Sorry to hear this. Hope things get better soon.

[Bigemu23]

I never expected the Red Sox staff to be this bad. You're bullpen will be is going to continue to go downhill if your pitchers can't make it through more than 5 each time out.

[d-money]

When it rains, it pours. f***ing ridiculous watching this pitching staff.

[Station 13]

Kelly 2 seam fastball runs right into the barrell of the bat if it start the outter corner. Need to throw that in to actually jam the righties.

[Station 13]

Betts should crushed the last 2 pitches

[Northern Star]

Why are you trying to steal down 3?

[Station 13]

Thanks Pedroia, Mookie had that stolen on the previous attempt.

[Kimmi]

The good news is, the Jays' pitching stinks.

 

Will our offense be able to take advantage of that?

[Northern Star]

Good job Betts ran himself off the bases.

[Station 13]

Nothing is going right for this team.

[Northern Star]

So did Baltimore's.

[Northern Star]

wait...there's a guy out there called Dalton Pompey? For reals??
