8/24 Red Sox @ Chicago White Sox

[a700hitter]

Game time: 8:10 EDT (7:10 CDT)

 

Joe Kelly vs Jeff Samardzija

 

Go Red Sox! Shut up the Hawk!

[iortiz]

Kelly has been solid in his last 2 starts. We are going to win this one.

[iortiz]

Boston +120, I like our chances.

[Spudboy]

Kind of make me uncomfortable to say that Kelly has been "okay" for a few starts now.

 

Maybe by the end of the season he will have shown enough to justify keeping him in the starting mix for 2016. Maybe not.

 

I'm sick of the guy. Put him in the pen.

Man Joe Kelly is a real stud

Thats exactly how I feel. There is no room for the guy in next years rotation. Wade, buch, erod, and rick are certainly inhead of him. Now that rick is back to start, I would like to see steven wright take joe's spot so he can got to the pen.

[a700hitter]

Hopefully, DD can find a way to send a couple of our starters to Japan.

[Jasonbay44]

Holy s*** Rusney killed that ball

[a700hitter]

Rusney with a 2 out 3-run Home Run. Red Sox up 3-1.

[Jasonbay44]

What a play by fat panda!!

I'm really hoping the Castillo signing turns out to be a good one. So far it doesn't look that bad.

It's almost as if Castillo's problem was just not playing a significant amount of competitive baseball for a long time before coming to the US.

He's been the worst of the recent cubans to defect (like yasmany tomas, puig, abreu, and cespedes), but he has been impressive recently.

Hahahhaha. I sure hope so.

Samardzija is in the group of pitchers lead by Porcello I do not like.

You don't like Porcello?! Holy s***, why didn't you say so earlier? I had no idea! Luckily you managed to inform us with a post during a time when no one had been discussing Rick Porcello or even the Red Sox pitching for the last half-hour. Normally I would consider it weird that you would go out of your way to remind us that you don't like someone, but since I've never heard your opinion on this, I'm glad you spoke up. Now if I could just get Ted's opinion of Sandoval's weight, Thunder's opinion of high-school baseball, or JE's opinion of literally anything, I'll finally be in the know!

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Annnnnnnd sigged, mainly for the lulz at J_E.

 

Edit:Nvm, it's too long

Don't worry, I'm used to hearing that.

Cmon Yton, It was about Samardzija. I just wanted to point out that Samardzija is in that group haha.

Is that why you double up? Damn. Good for you.

We need to keep reminding you as your mind has clearly been scrambled by your recent sexual escapades. Heck, you had no recollection of 2012 and Bard's epic fail game. You had to look it up and still couldn't comprehend the significance of the fail. I'm here to alert everyone when Pablo falls on the resin bab or the foul line and comes up looking like a powdered donut or a zepole.

[Jasonbay44]

Castillo is having a huge game

[RedSoxNC84]

Jesus Castillo. That was nice except for trying to stretch it into a triple.

[iortiz]

Yes! It's great when my sox win but mostly when they make me win a bet. Hopefully some of you took my recommendation, the line was pretty good.

[mvp 78]

4 innings is a long time for this pitching staff. Don't count your winnings yet.

I could tell how awful it was, but I don't think it qualifies as "worst since the 1910's". I'm pretty sure there have been worse just in the short time since I've been a Red Sox fan.

That is what they said at the time. There are two reasons that I remember that factoid. First, is that it was a traumatically bad start. I tend to remember lots of details about traumatic things I have witnessed. Second, the factoid also was surprising to me. I mean the 1910's... goodness? But I stand by my recollection.

It's nice Kelly is throwing the fastball that is natural to him. They tried to make him throw it with less velocity earlier this year, it was a disaster.
