7/5 Rangers @ Boston

[Station 13]

This is pathetic display tonight.

[d-money]

Cannot give up more runs.

[d-money]

Offense plzzz. Gotta find a way and win this game.

[mvp 78]

@redsoxstats Red Sox have stranded 10 runners in 6 innings, but Price getting roasted for allowing 3 over 7 innings to a great lineup.

[mvp 78]

@jtomase If this result holds, Red Sox will have lost as many as David Price's starts (8) in 18 games as Tigers and Jays did in 32 last year.

[d-money]

Very frustrating game. Can't get the big hit with risp.

[Nick]

Shaw is hitting .212 against lefties....what do you expect?

[Spudboy]

The hall mark of the Sox is high RISP / LOB.

 

Runs please?

[Jasonbay44]

Solid start from Price. Offense needs to f***ing score.

[d-money]

Price has battled. This offense has been the main culprit tonight

this...Sox fan since 1967

[mvp 78]

Bannister will be on the field and in uniform before the game.

 

Price will go 8 with 2ER.

Off by a run, damn...

[Nick]

#3 #4 hitters are hitless....

[Nick]

Anyone here pinch hit for Shaw vs lefty? Are we trying to build up his confidence? We had Hanigan on the bench....oops.

[a700hitter]

Solid start from Price. Offense needs to f***ing score.

8 innings and 3 runs against the Rangers. That is a good sign. I can't throw stones at the offense after the bombardment last night. Most nights this start from Price would be good enough to produce a win.

@redsoxstats David Price:

7 IP, 2 ER, L

8 IP, 2 ER, L

8 IP, 3 ER, L

8 IP, 3 ER, in line to L

[Jasonbay44]

Kimbrel is dominating

[d-money]

f*** you kimbrel! This rangers team's becoming like the orioles. Can't stand them.

[a700hitter]

Kimbrel blows up the game. Are you kidding me?

[iortiz]

Kimbrel has not been as spectacular as he used to be this season.

[Nick]

Typical Sox......run up hits and runs unnecessarily yesterday but can't get to the starting pitcher tonight.....

 

but hey, we are sending 6 All Stars....

[d-money]

Well time to root for the dodgers. Quietly the blue jays are playing well.

@redsoxstats David Price:

7 IP, 2 ER, L

8 IP, 2 ER, L

8 IP, 3 ER, L

8 IP, 3 ER, in line to L

 

Balances out his 4-0 start over 6 games with a 6.14 ERA. Law of averages baby! (Ok, not really how it works, but...)

 

Edit: wrong tone! I want law of averages to return his dominance!

[Jasonbay44]

Kimbrel has an absolutely horrible track record when coming into games where his team is trailing or game is tied. Stop putting him in when it is a non-save situation. I don't know what the reasoning is for his struggles in these situations, but this is starting to become more than a weird fluke.

Yup.

 

He was born to close. He is useless in other innings.

[a700hitter]

We always lose games worked by Eck.

[a700hitter]

Beltre should have gone to second base with that. Orti is not moving well.

[TheBabeStrikesBack]

We always lose games worked by Eck.

 

He needs to work more games then!

[Youk Of The Nation]

I don't understand how a guy who can close as well as Kimbrel can be so bad in non-save situations.

[TheBabeStrikesBack]

I don't understand how a guy who can close as well as Kimbrel can be so bad in non-save situations.

 

I hear ya, but if that's the case, why do they continually put him in those situations?
