5/12 vs. The Houston Astros

[redsoxdirtdog]

This is why we need to try bunting more often.

[redsoxdirtdog]

lol

[iortiz]

Orioles have Adam Jones batting in the 7th with 2 guys on, and only down by 3 runs.

 

It's 7-5, Os LOL!

 

Detriot is a wreck train this year, they literally don't have pitching.

[Beaneater]

Double digits!

[d-money]

I hate the damn birds. Ughhh. Could be a two team race unless someone else enters the race.

Chris Young up to .261 overall, with .381/.480/.667 slash line against LHP... Just pointing this out because half the site wants/wanted him cut for whatever reason, he is doing what he was signed so far and he is a good base runner and at least from what I've seen looks like a decent fielder. I don't know what deal is with Castillo, but I'm perfectly content with a Holt/Young platoon.

 

Agree. And I didn't mind the starts in April against righties. First, the Sox weren't seeing lefties and he had to get in. Also, in 2014, he actually was better against righties (.243 BA and .720 OPS) than he was against lefties (.149 BA and .561 OPS). So year to year, things can change.

[Beaneater]

Moar double digits!

[d-money]

The junkies are playing alot better.

I almost, ALMOST hat the O's worse than the Yankees ever since that windbag Showalter took over. That dude is a dick!

[Northern Star]

We all like offense but look, this is getting ridiculous.

[Jasonbay44]

I honestly hate the Orioles as much as the Yankees. I live in Maryland and they have some of the worst fans I've ever seen.

 

I think my favorite moment was a few years ago a guy wearing a Nelson Cruz jersey was yelling "PED" at Ortiz, like okay, buddy.

I was hoping this could be an epic landmark night where we go in 1st right as we get our ace back. But I ain't going to be picky. This very solid performance by Price was huge. We're pretty much doomed if he does bad (at least financially) but on our way to glory if he does good.

[iortiz]

The more I see the team, the more I remeber 2013.

[Emp9]

I really liked them showing Pedroia & XB going through their checkpoints. They don't show that kind of stuff enough in my opinion. Great win tonight!

[TylerD]

Funny you say that. I was thinking the exact same thing. The team just looks so comfortable and in sync right now it's awesome. I wish Price was a bit more consistent but maybe he can build off of today!

[Youk Of The Nation]

I said the same thing the other day as well. The unexpected production from every spot in the order, the constant ability to say "f*** this" when they fall behind early and just go on scoring more runs until they're ahead again, the way everyone looks so happy and relaxed in the dugout and on the field, not to mention the production itself. It's a great feeling of deja vu, and you can't help but wonder if it's heading the same way again.

[Navafan29]

It's time to become the next hands-down top franchise, at least in the AL. Yankees fans seem demoralized with the 2010 All Star team they have at the moment, and aren't showing up to the games as much. Red Sox fans have the same energy they had 10 years ago. The fanbases that want championships as much as us all seem to be in the NL. We have a way of finding magic skill sets & chemistry on a frequent basis. Our fans are tough on our players and let them have it, but are very quick to forgive a player for lack of performance when they bounce back with a good effort, like with the standing ovation to Price tonight. This is a place where stars will want to play, and be motivated to perform well. We have money. The Red Sox franchise will be the perfect vehicle for success, and be among the top jocks in the AL for a long time to come, despite individual years of falling short, like every team goes through. NL teams like the Cardinals will rival us in franchiseness, but the franchises that rival us will be full of more old school baseball purist nerds than new school jock enthusiasm like we have. Not that our type of fans are better than other types of fans, but we have our own style that fits the "dominant AL franchise" roll well.

Apparently the last time an MLB team scored double-digits in four straight games was in 2007. Anyone care to guess which team it was?

This is getting old ...... gladiators in the olden days wouldn't just trounce their opponents...... they added some flare...

 

We need to keep these games at least close...... I'm losing interest after the 3rd inning....

Almost moved to Ballymore about a decade ago, pre-Showalter. About then there were more Sox fans in stands than O's.... My cousin and friends said some very unpleasant things about my potential arrival, because I planned on going to Camden Yard about 8 times a year. LOL. They were ready to string me up.

 

My sister has lived in the DC/Ballymore area since 1969 ... Think of it ... from the days of Weaver and Palmer to now.

 

Anyway, we didn't move. I was being considered for a multi-racial congregation. But I was too white. Funny since both my wife and I are also native as well as a potpourri of European lines of whatever. We tan really well.

Incredible. I do hope he's being sarcastic.

The '13 team was just lucky.
