[Jasonbay44]

Offense decided to show up today. Thank God

[d-money]

Wow!!!!! Offense!!!!!!! Lol

[Jasonbay44]

Everyone this inning has had a good AB.. Besides Chris Young's 1 pitch popup lol

[Jasonbay44]

Hanley is seriously the ultimate rally killer right now..

[Nick]

$20M groundball/seeing eye singles hitter....

 

so best attribute with Ben was that he was too confused to trade out young players? lol

[robert vonhalle]

Hanley is seriously the ultimate rally killer right now..

 

what happened to shaw????

[Nick]

Leg injury.....he had an ouchy

[Jasonbay44]

Quintana is terrified of Sandy Leon and rightfully so.

[Bellhorn04]

Quintana is terrified of Sandy Leon and rightfully so.

 

Leon is off to a hilariously good start at the plate. It won't be pretty when it starts correcting, but it's fun while it lasts.

[Jasonbay44]

Horrible base running mistake by Leon.

[Nick]

Robbie Ross Jr has pitched 2 1/3 innings in June....he's rested.

[Jasonbay44]

There is no excuse for being picked off 3rd ever. What the hell was Leon thinking?

[Bellhorn04]

He had a brain s***.

[Nick]

We need to win this....I hope JF is not concerned about starter completing 5 innings.....get the pen ready

[Jasonbay44]

Leon is off to a hilariously good start at the plate. It won't be pretty when it starts correcting, but it's fun while it lasts.

 

Might as well let him get as many starts as possible while it lasts. We don't lose much defensively with him and Vazquez, but Leon has been on fire.

[Nick]

Yep, it's right up there with hanley not even watching the pitcher as he walks back to 1B.

[a700hitter]

Just more stupid base running by a Farrell team. Picked off third with one out and the top of the lineup hitting is major stupid. But Butterball works so hard and gets to the park so early. That is important too.

[Nick]

Walks the #8 hitter

[a700hitter]

Shaw is out of the game? Injury?

[Jasonbay44]

Shaw is out of the game? Injury?

 

Yeah, he aggravated whatever he injured last night when he fouled that pitch off himself.

[Nick]

good inning....E Rod

[Bellhorn04]

good inning....E Rod

 

Fingers and everything else crossed, he looks better tonight.

[a700hitter]

Fingers and everything else crossed, he looks better tonight.

Take it with a grain of salt. It is my "at the game" mojo at work. That mojo made Clay look good earlier in the year.

You need to attend every game then. I hope you're up to it.

[Nick]

Let's go E Rod.....

[bowman]

Hanram is not a player I like on this team. When he gets hot he's great, but overall not even close to what he should be.....I guess were stuck with him for now..

[Jasonbay44]

Ugh...

[Nick]

Well, you can only do so much with JUST fastball.......E Rod is a 5 inning guy until he develops a secondary pitch....

[a700hitter]

You need to attend every game then. I hope you're up to it.

i am up to it. My daughter and son in law are tired of me staying at their apartment. Otherwise, I would be at a lot more games.

[Maxbialystock]

Tell that to that boob Farrell.

 

So Young moves up to batting fifth and his hitless in 3 at bats. The simple fact--documented--is that with this lineup it almost makes no difference where you bat if you want to be productive. Betts has a low OBP, but leads the the team comfortably in runs scored and as lead off hitter--the guy following the 7th, 8th, and 9th batters--is second on the the team in rbi's. Speaking of which, Bradley had more rbi's when he batted 8th and 9th than he does batting 5th.

 

Was that a dinger I just saw HanRam hit to give the Sox the lead? My, my. Bosoxmal sure can call them.
