4/25 @ Atlanta Baseball Team

[SoxHop]

Seeing Porcello pitch well is fun to watch. His ERA is down to about 3.5

 

It really is. He seemed to have everything working tonight.

[iortiz]

Omg Ross is coming.

[Jasonbay44]

Good start by Porcello, hopefully Ross doesn't suck too much ass today.

[FredLynn]

no doubt. When everyone plays decent it's a fun game. All I want is a competitive team to watch.

 

All in all, I like games better when the Sox are up about 10-0

So is this the right move or not? I say yes, even though Ross has sucked from time to time. Porcello did his job, getting into the 7th inning. If Ross gets two outs then it should be Koji and Kimbrel

I don't trust in Ross but we'll see.

Well I do too; however, they seemed to be surrounded by games where we can't buy a run. Consistency is what's needed.

I mean I don't have a problem with it. Tazawa can't pitch every game and extending Koji and Kimbrel more than an inning makes no sense here.

 

Its on Ross to not suck.

[Dojji]

Finish him!

[Jasonbay44]

Also I find it weird that Braves would use 3 straight pinch hitters in one inning..

[Jasonbay44]

Good work by Ross.

That was a situation where having Smith would really help

[SoxHop]

Hell yea Ross..... Nice punch out!!!!!!!!

[Dojji]

Well done Mr. Ross.

 

6 1/3 IP, 0 ER from Porcello. Solid start #3 in a row.

[iortiz]

Horseface Ross made the job somehow, great! LOL!

 

Time to make some R insurance.

[jonnylongfella]

I love Vasquez's passion and enthusiasm behind the plate. Pitchers have to love that. He fist pumped strike 3 to Aybar before the ump even punched him out!!

[wyo-sox]

Well done Mr. Ross.

Porcello and Wright carrying the staff.... just like we all said would happen.

[SoxHop]

Is Ogando with any club this year?

[FredLynn]

Porcello was due for a reasonable comeback year IMO. Wright was unexpected, totally. The big question mark is Buchholz.

[iortiz]

Is Ogando with any club this year?

 

You mean OhGodno?

[FredLynn]

Is Ogando with any club this year?

 

He is with the Braves

[Thunder]

Besides this misery of a ball club, Atlanta's pretty gorgeous. I toured Georgia Tech in the fall, and I definitely want to go there. Not my top choice at the moment, but I fell in love with the city.

[SoxHop]

You mean OhGodno?

 

Yea, that dude.

 

I had to look it up. He's with a club, we might even see him in this series.

[SoxHop]

He is with the Braves

 

This kind of makes me feel for the Atlanta fans. That guy loved giving up homers.

[iortiz]

He is with the Braves

 

Well, it speaks volumes of how bad the braves are going to be this year.

[FredLynn]

This kind of makes me feel for the Atlanta fans. That guy loved giving up homers.

 

He is actually not pitching badly....ERA 2.38. His WHIP is high though

[Jasonbay44]

Did the Rays really just use 3 different pitchers to pitch the 9th inning in a save situation?

I grew up there. Wouldn't have picked a better place to live as a kid. Georgia Tech is one hell of a school too. A lot of my childhood friends went there.

They beat the Orioles. Thats what matters. If this score holds up we are one game closer to first place

[a700hitter]

Joe West is a terrible umpire.
