5/18 @ Kansas City -- Night Cap

[a700hitter]

Let's win this game!

 

Volquez vs. Price

[Youk Of The Nation]

I'm keeping yours, Ted. I've started a GT more recently than you have, plus your "Nightcap" goes better with the "Day Game" from earlier. Oh, and sorry, JB44. I flipped a coin. You can start the next run, after Ted's 15-game streak.

[Jasonbay44]

Another wasted opportunity.. awesome

[a700hitter]

The top of the first started very well -- 2 on and one out with Ortiz and Hanley coming up. Ortiz just missed a 3 run HR and Hanley hits into a DP.

Price better not f*** this up.

[Jasonbay44]

JBJ is becoming my favorite player

[a700hitter]

Bradley's bat is so hot that it is glowing! 1-0 on Bradley's Home Run.

[iortiz]

JBJ is unreal.

28 game hit streak, oh my Bradley!

 

Hi TW101, wonder what is the longest hitting-streak of this franchise.

[TedWilliams101]

Hi TW101, wonder what is the longest hitting-streak of this franchise.

 

Apparently it's 24 games, just edited. (JBJ hit streak that is)

[Station 13]

Holt not a starter once again.

[Jasonbay44]

Hi TW101, wonder what is the longest hitting-streak of this franchise.

 

 

I believe I heard it was 34 games by Dom DiMaggio

[Station 13]

Papi with 27 game.

[TedWilliams101]

Hi TW101, wonder what is the longest hitting-streak of this franchise.

 

For the Boston Braves, it's 37 games from Tommy Holmes in '45 (37 games). For the Red Sox, it's Dom DiMaggio in '49 (34 games)

[iortiz]

Thank you guys. So JBJ is getting close.

[Jasonbay44]

Mookie!!

[a700hitter]

Betts with a Home Run for 2-0 lead. Let's put up a crooked number this inning.

[Station 13]

Mookie hopefully is more consistent now. 2 hits already.

[TedWilliams101]

Come on Price, quite throwing junk down the middle. Even though it's only been 1 run, too many pitches getting too much off the plate tonight. Dangerous.

[TedWilliams101]

WTF, Mookie comparison to Elvis with his upper lip? WTF are you talking about Eck? I love ya, but sometimes you really make me scratch my head!

[Maxbialystock]

Another tough game tonight. Price pitching well, rising to the occasion. But offense still a little off--even the dingers were solos.

[Station 13]

Does Hanley do anything but strikeout in close games?

[Youk Of The Nation]

Every time Josh Rutledge plays, I forget about him completely until the next time he plays. I cannot remember another Red Sox player in the last decade who has played this many games with the Sox in one season and is yet so utterly forgettable. He's not good enough to draw my notice, and he isn't useless enough to draw my ire. He's like a ghost runner in a game of pickup baseball.

[Jasonbay44]

Damn, I thought Rutledge had a bomb there. Cmon Vazquez, we need some more runs.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Haha finally someone realized how well JBJ is hitting lately.

[Jasonbay44]

Vazquez! That's a big hit and exactly what we needed

[mvp 78]

Haha finally someone realized how well JBJ is hitting lately.

 

I was told he was Punch and Judy hitter and that last August was pretend?

[Youk Of The Nation]

Hits always feel 200% more awesome after an IBB. "Oh, you think I'm not as scary as that guy? f*** you."

This series is reminding me a little of the Red Sox horror shows in KC back in the 70s. Sox seemingly used to go 1-5 in KC every year and had a lot of trouble scoring runs.
