6/12 @ Twins

[TylerD]

Well that was a quick inning. ...

[illinoisredsox]

Are you f***ing kidding, Shaw?

 

He needs a few full days off. No pinch hitting, no sub in. Let Rutledge and Hernandez handle 3rd for 3-4 games. They can't hit any worse.

[Jasonbay44]

Shaw is 1 for his last 20 and is hitting .139/184/379 in June with 1 RBI.

Maybe he's saving it up for an awesome July???? I dunno.....

I agree, he has looked lost at the plate lately, the time off could help him.. as it can't possibly hurt him at this point.

Nice call, we can run all over this team and Farrell has him bunt. Nice, right into a dp... Fm

When's the last time you saw somebody bunt into a DP?

[Jasonbay44]

Has Shaw ever even bunted before? He didn't look comfortable at all up there.

Bunting in general to me just looks awkward lol....

[Jasonbay44]

Nunez is a real pain in the ass. Come on Tazawa, get out of this.

Doubt it.

[Jasonbay44]

Good play by Shaw, good job by Taz. Lets score here.

[illinoisredsox]

Bogie needs to be running here.

[Jasonbay44]

Throw f***ing strikes

[NativeBostonian]

Throw some strikes!

[TylerD]

Ugh f***

[Jasonbay44]

This is an umm.. interesting defensive alignment

[Jasonbay44]

Barnes f***ing sucks.

[a700hitter]

5 infielders wasn't going to help that.

[TylerD]

We f***ing suck. What an embarrassment losing to a team like this.....

[NativeBostonian]

We needed this sweep with the teams they have to face next.

[d-money]

The relief pitching just stinks!!!!!! f***ing pathetic

[Station 13]

Farrell please go jump in a shark bay.

 

Barnes sucks.

[StephenCurry30]

Matt Barnes is horrible. he has no control at all and allows way too many base runners, leadoff walks in extra innings are begging to lose. Then the butthole of the bullpen gives up a 3 run homer to straight away center to the ass juice of hitters.. GREAT JOB MATTIE BARNES

[a700hitter]

We have Monday off. He could have gone to Kimbrel to get out of that inning.

[TylerD]

Barnes was s*** but Minnesota is a basement team with below average pitching. With the offense we have this should have been a win. The offense had one good inning otherwise it was total garbage. They don't get a pass by any means either.

[StephenCurry30]

This team begged to lose today. 2 bad errors by Xander. Get a lead off double from Hanley and don't even advance him. We have Shaw, whose never bunted before bunt and of course f*** it up. Numerous lead off guys reach, only for a double play to erase them. Then of course, we let dumb ass barnes come in, walk the lead off guy, right then and there someone needs to be up. Kimbrel? we have an off day tomorrow. Hembree? Ross? There was other options, but no, we leave the game in an idiots hands who has control issues.

 

You have to play awful to lose to an awful time and we did that today. Pathetic

[StephenCurry30]

Tyler - We didn't even have a good offensive inning, we were gift wrapped 3 runs by the Twins throwing the all around in the outfield, a typical thing they do and why they are worst team in AL. Today was an all around pathetic game, and of course it would be in a rare game where our pitcher actually dominates. Porcello went 7 and allowed 1 earned run, we shouldn't lose a game like that ever. The amount of games we lose where we score 8 or more runs or when we have a good pitched game is getting frustrating.

You can't give any team, no matter what their record, 3 unearned runs and expect to win. Bad day all around; they happen.

Any major league pitcher has the ability to shut another team down. What separates the good ones from the bad ones is how often they can do it.
