7/1 vs Angels

[Kimmi]

Halos @ Red Sox

Friday....7pm.....Fenway

 

Chacin 3-6/ 5.64

A month ago, Chacin walked off the mound with his first CG since 2011. Snce then he has yet to get past 5 1/3, working 4 2/3 innings in his last start; a loss vs Oakland.

 

Wright 8-5/ 2.18

Will try and recover from a rare bad outing, giving up 7 hits, 8 runs (3 earned) vs Texas. Is 4-1/ 2.56 this season at Fenway.

 

 

 

Thank goodness the June swoon is over. It will not carry into this month.

 

July mojo!

 

Go Sox!

How about you bums hit a mediocre pitcher for a change.

 

Get it done!

Seriously. I watched the Rays blow a 7-2 lead in the 9th inning last night. They ended up losing 10-7. And we lost 2 out of 3 to them?

 

Enough of that crap.

 

Time to start playing like they mean business.

[Slasher9]

some Lady Luck to get this ship turned. i like it.

TIME FOR A STREAK.

WWWWWWWWWWWWWW

iIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

[mvp 78]

This homestand.

 

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

If they go 4-5 over the next 9 game homestand, there should be some major changes for this team.

[User Name]

They better hammer this team into next year. Wright's not going to f*** this up.

[Spudboy]

Yes.

Is it child abuse if I force my kids to watch a Buchholz start? It would serve them right for singing Sweet Caroline over and over again this week.

Sweet Caroline? luckily, I don't know your address or I would call Child Protective Services.

I did not teach them that s***** song...

Has this become an issue in your marriage. To this day (and my kids ar 30 and 28), my wife gives me a dirty look if they use foul language. At least it is not Sweet Caroline.

It's the babysitter. Damn millennials...

[Spudboy]

I am so sickened every time I hear that f***ing song.

 

And overall I have liked Neil Diamond.

 

Why not Cherrie Cherrie or Kentucky Woman?

Because most people have horrible taste in music, including children. There's only so much Baby Beluga you can hear before you just want to drop off the kids at Nana's for good.

[Bellhorn04]

If ever there was a perfect definition of Pink Hat, it might be this: "Someone who sings Sweet Caroline with the facial expression of a happy drunk at midnight on New Year's Eve, even though the Sox are losing by 5 runs."

[bosoxmal]

Time for a lineup shakeup!

[bosoxmal]

Guardians trying to help us again. Yop of the 14th (or 15th) in Toronto. I He's still hurting us!ndians load the bases, one out; good old Nap hits into a 5-4-3 DP.

[a700hitter]

And Blechhh for Sunday too!

Red Sox notes: RHP Sean O’Sullivan to start Sunday; Blake Swihart (ankle) ‘improving’

With Eduardo Rodriguez being sent down to Triple-A Pawtucket, the Red Sox needed a fifth starter for Sunday’s game. Many thought that starter would be Aaron Wilkerson, but instead it will be right-hander Sean O’Sullivan making his third start of the season for the big league club.

Manager John Farrell said that was the recommendation of the Triple-A staff.

O’Sullivan pitched May 7 in relief, then started on May 10 and May 15, including earning the win May 10 against the Athletics. Overall, he’s 1-0 with a 7.94 ERA this season.

With Triple-A he was named to the Triple-A All-Star Game where he’s 6-2 with a 2.79 ERA in 11 starts. He leads the PawSox in victories and his ERA is eighth-best in the International League.

Wilkerson on the other hand, is 6-2 with a 2.00 ERA in 16 starts between Portland and Pawtucket.

“He’s pitching his way into consideration, there’s no question,” Farrell said. “Statistically he’s doing a very solid job there.”

Farrell also provided a number of injury updates on his players battling ailments.

— Brock Holt (concussion) will be checked daily as he returns Friday after missing a month with a concussion. The plan for him as of now is to play Friday night and Sunday, both against righties. Farrell said as long as Marco Hernandez is on the roster, Holt will play primarily in left field.

— Blake Swihart (sprained ankle) is “improving,” according to Farrell. He’s begun walking on a treadmill, but there hasn’t been any jogging or running yet. There still is no timetable for him to begin baseball activities.

— Ryan Hanigan (neck strain) will play nine innings with Pawtucket Saturday and Sunday and the team will decide the next step on Monday. If everything goes well, it would seem he would be ready to be activated.

— Joe Kelly (groin) threw a 20-pitch bullpen on Wednesday and will likely throw another one Saturday. Farrell said he would need at least two more bullpen sessions before the team would have him pitch in a game.

That's why I started this game thread. After we win tonight, I wanted to start the game thread when Buchholz starts.

 

We will either soar or go down in flames together.

No, but it is child abuse to deny them Rice Krispies treats.

You will need some strong mojo for Saturday and Sunday. Are you going to wear a garlic necklace to ward off the evil pitching spirits?

I'll wear my lucky Red Sox socks. That should do it.

[Spudboy]

Well, at least O'Sullivan has a well groomed beard.

[yankthis]

Only if they're in the line of fire when you're throwing the end table at the TV set.

[Kimmi]

Just heard OB say that the Sox starters have only retired the opposing batters 1-2-3 in the first inning once in the last 19, now 20 games. Yikes.

[a700hitter]

I fear that we will revive a last place West Division team after having revived the last place Rays from the East and the floundering White Sox from the Central Division. Facing the Red Sox seems to be just what the doctor ordered for ailing teams.

[a700hitter]

Three games of watching Scioscia argue balls and strikes. His act has been very tired for years.

[a700hitter]

Possibility of rain at Fenway tonight. We have had intermittent deluges on Long Island in the last couple of hours.

[a700hitter]

Nice DP by Hernandez to end the inning.
