7/4 Texas Rangers @ Boston

[a700hitter]

Game Time 1:35

 

Porcello vs. Nick Martinez

 

We are already down 4-0 after the top half of the first inning due to more atrocious starting pitching.

TalkSox is in a fog. No game thread yesterday and a late one today. We need a spark.

They may not win today but the Sox look good dressed to the nines.

[Jasonbay44]

Some s***** pitching and a Dustin Pedroia double play to start the game. Sounds about right.

[Station 13]

f*** you Farrell. move him into the 7th spot in the lineup.

[royplayer]

Perhaps Pedey should bunt the next time he comes up with a man on base.

[Jasonbay44]

3 hits in the inning and 0 runs so far. SWEET

[bowman]

Bring up Moncada, trade Pedr,,

I've lit the BornToRun mojo several times now...

Now, now, it is not nice to say things about the mentally challenged.

[Jasonbay44]

f*** you, Ump

[bowman]

Ump must be blind, JBJ dodged a bullet.

[bowman]

Pedey sucks

[bosoxmal]

If you are just tuning in, Sox fans, the Sox ha 2 singles, 2 walks and double in the 1st inning. And scored one run. I look at the lineup every day, and Betts is still being wasted in the lead-off spot. He has GOT to be stuck in there right next to Ortiz! JF is so stubborn. Maybe the next guy will know how to utilize his players.

[Nick]

We had chance to get out of 1st inning with 1 run but your favorite Sox Pedy didn't see 300lb Prince Fielder lumbering from 1st to 2nd.

 

He sucks

[bowman]

Totally agree, Farrell is like a deer in the headlights. You have to adjust here and there. Like the other night when he left Wright in. What the ,,,,,

[bowman]

Did I say this ump sucks

[Jasonbay44]

Move Leon to 2nd spot.

[bowman]

Really starting to like Leon. Seems to hit the ball hard a lot..

[royplayer]

Walk Mookie and get to Pedey, the double play machine.

[Nick]

He'll probably get sent down by JF...JF loves Hanigan.

Pedey leads the Sox in GIDP with 15. Second is lumbering Ortiz with 12. Then the next guy down, someone with wheels, is Bogaerts with 7. Pedey also has a decent OBP, .366, and OPS, .801. Before monkeying with the batting order, it might be worth noting that the Sox lead MLB in runs scored by about 25 runs.

 

On the previous game thread someone said Brock Holt was holding this team together, which at the time I thought was silly. Today with the bases loaded he took 2 pitches in the heart of the strike zone, then had to swing a low pitch for an easy groundout.

Pedey trade bait,

[royplayer]

I'm starting to hate everything about baseball, from the putrid umping to the fact the Sox hardly ever catch a break.

[Nick]

Holt is over rated....he's just a decent utility guy. Just can't get over how Sox Nation goes nuts over a kid like him.

Good reason why the Rangers mash the ball; they don't look at the first pitch often.

[Nick]

Good thing there were 2 outs, Pedy another DP ground ball.

[Maxbialystock]

2 of the 4 Ranger runs in the 1st were unearned.

[Nick]

How expensive would it be to mount a camera on top of foul pole?
