7/1 vs Angels

[a700hitter]

And the poor base running is biting us now.

We still have the lead, and we're not done scoring.

 

Barnes needs to stop the bleeding.

[mvp 78]

Angels not done scoring either.

[Station 13]

What were you waiting for Farrell?

 

To get fire.

[Station 13]

Wright cannot pitch when it rains.

 

He had trouble all night though. Farrell let him stayed in 3 batter too long.

[Kimmi]

Angels not done scoring either.

 

Yeah they are.

[Navafan29]

I was telling Wright to throw a knuckleball with the 3-2 count, because his not-fast fastball was extremely obvious. I know there's a wild pitch possibility, but I don't think it's as bad as throwing a fastball that is almost guaranteed to be hit with solid contact. This isn't the first time that Wright has been burned by throwing a 3-2 fastball while in a jam.

 

But as long as the Red Sox win, I won't care, because Holt is doing so good!

[TylerD]

Remember that time I was stupid and thought we would win this when we were up 5 0

[Kimmi]

This was supposed to be a nice, relaxing game. So much for that. LOL

Quick, call the game!

[d-money]

This pitching staff's one big joke. Wright cannot allow that to happen. Even our best pitchers recently have stunk!!

[Station 13]

Was that Pablo I saw?

[a700hitter]

Hopefully, they don't delay this until 3 am like the Yankee game a few nights ago. We have to suffer through Buch and Sullivan over the weekend.

[a700hitter]

Quick, call the game!

Yes!

[Navafan29]

I like how after the grand slam that happened due to leaving Wright in the game for too long, O'Brian said something along the lines of "And that opens up the door for questioning Mr. Farrell's decision to leave Wright in." Then Lyons criticizes Farrell to start off the rain delay stalling. It's kind of amusing when NESN turns on Red Sox leadership.

[Spudboy]

Nerd alert in the booth.

 

Lol.

 

He did explain that while Dombrowski is known as a seller of prospects that he had never traded away anyone that amounted to much.

[Spudboy]

Those two base running blunders were sickening. Why does it happen so much?

 

If the Sox loose tonight it will be another few nails in the coffin for Farrell.

Looks like the bloom is off the Steven Wright rose

[Jasonbay44]

Anyone have any idea if this game is starting up soon?

They have not been the highest scoring team in baseball for quite some time. And, what's wrong with getting better? A Betts/Papi back-to-back combo looks like it might have made a big difference in a bunch of the games played over the past 2 or 3 weeks. I probab;y would also take Pedroia and put him him lower. Like Holt, Bradley, Betts, Ortiz, Boegart, Pedroia, Ramiriz, Shaw and the catcher. Two "sluggers" ar 7 and 8, but with consistency where it matters most; up in the 3,4,5 spots.

 

It has always been obvious that JF has limited imagination. Re/Wright, I wonder he read the weather report. This is a repeat of his last game what with the weather being a factor in his ability to control the ball when its damp, rainy, etc. They just had a day off, he could have switched him with someone else.

The thing about line up changes is that they don't make as big difference as most people think they do. It's very likely that you end up doing more harm than good by taking batters out of their comfort zones.

The rain did him in. Couldn't throw the k-ball. Before that he was doing well

I'm no big fan of Farrell's any more, but I have no issues with his lineups. Moving guys around in the order a lot based on who's hot and who's cold is not a good idea, IMHO.

[SoxHop]

Play Ball!

[SoxHop]

There should be a one hour limit on a rain delay........

[SoxHop]

Fun crowd at the game. Only the hard cores are left at the stadium........ probably the drunks........ listening to them is fun...

The cue comes from above. They may have the green light to go after him.

Yes, this is very unfair to the fans to have these ridiculously long delays.
