4/21 Tampa Rays @ Boston

[jad]

OK. I'm waited too long. Now I'm going to stop holding my breath and start into full panic.

[TedWilliams101]

Can we go back to the days with Farrell as our Pitching Coach, Tito, and Theo as our GM?

[Jasonbay44]

Mookie is the f***ing man

[Jasonbay44]

Oh sweet a guy with a 6.17 ERA in AAA coming in.

[Station 13]

Lyons is such a hack.

Lyons is such a hack.

 

"Hopefully the Red Sox can score one more and we can go home and call this a tie".

[Jasonbay44]

Travis Shaw just keeps hitting

Oh sweet a guy with a 6.17 ERA in AAA coming in.

 

To be fair I guarantee they did not anticipating having to use him on a Price start

[Jasonbay44]

That situation would have been one of the times pinch hitting with Young would have made sense.. but whatever.

[mvp 78]

It's a shame that Pablo didn't get a chance. Shaw sucks!

[mvp 78]

Lyons is such a hack.

 

Suck suck suck suck

[Navafan29]

Incredible game. It will be the best game of the year so far by far if we win.

 

The Red Sox have been falling short of comebacks, and it's got to be getting to them. If we can complete this comeback... oh man.

 

I really like having two color commentators. It adds a lot of life to the game.

[Jasonbay44]

I'm glad this guy is pitching in a tied game in 8th inning, his 2nd inning.

[Station 13]

WTF is going on with the bullpen. Most everyone got last night off.

[Jasonbay44]

If Koji was available, why is he warming up NOW? Why not for the top of the 8th?

[Station 13]

f*** this game.

[Jasonbay44]

How the f*** do you let the Rays score 10 runs in a game? Also, what the f*** is with this use of the bullpen, Cuevas and Ramirez were only guys available today I guess

Koji was warmed up. But the bullpen of Ross/Layne should be able to pitch, they hardly been used.

[sk7326]

With Koji's arm issues I don't like warming him up to not use him

[Navafan29]

Finding ways to lose games...

[sk7326]

Lots of blame to go around today - but ultimately, Price is being paid like a #1. And twice in four starts he has been unable to bring a 3 run lead home. I am not overreacting, but that is not good.

Struggling against Baltimore is understandable. Letting what is arguably the worst offense in this league hang an 8-spot on you is inexcusable. Get your s*** together Price.

I am ok with Uehara having a bad night, holding a 1 run lead against the best offensive team alive. Kicking away 3 run leads twice (even if Baltimore might be good) is a different kettle of fish.

[Spudboy]

Yeah Price did not get it done today. Although he was getting squeezed at least a little by a tight strike zone.

 

Still, he has not looked really good yet.

[Spudboy]

Farrell said after the game that Koji was only available if the Sox were leading.

 

Not sure what that means but he said it.

[a700hitter]

I had to come back to NY today, so I didn't get to the game. I just finished watching on DVR, and I am glad that I wasn't there.

 

Price looked like horseshit.

Hanley has been hitting the ball hard with nothing to show for it. I expect him to break out very soon.

Shaw is making Pablo a complete no-issue. The guy doesn't wast any ABs and he is a much better fielder than I had expected him to be.

Pedroia is heating up.

Bogaerts is heating up.

Betts is getting in a groove.

David Ortiz continues to be great.

 

It was a very disappointing game today, but there are a lot of bright spots. I think this team will go on a run on the road.

Not sure what that means but he said it.

Farrell also doesn't know what he meant.

I don't think you are overreacting at all. The money this man is getting to have 4 starts and 2 of them absolutely horrible is concerning. Yes the season is still young but this damn sure doesn't make me feel comfortable. We aren't giving hI'm this kind of money to be good every 2nd game. Our rotation outside of Price so far has been a massive question mark. Price is suppose to be that one guy we feel comfortable with when he starts and so far I don't.

Four of the team's losses can be pinned on what are supposed to be the team's three best pitchers (Price, Koji, Kimbrel). It's still early, but that is concerning to say the least.

[Station 13]

I don't get it, a tie game and he still go with the emergency call up. Layne, Ross, these guys needs work. Barely been used.
