4/30 Cubs at Fenway

[mvp 78]

E-Rod allowing a lot of base runners and throwing a lot of pitches.

 

Typical start.

[Jasonbay44]

This umpires strike zone is all over the place.

[Station 13]

Do we steal bases anymore?

[Wade Boggs]

This next inning is big for Erod. I'd have the pen up and ready.

[Jasonbay44]

Dammit E-rod...

[Maxbialystock]

Hard to see the Sox winning this one. Once again, hitting doldrums.

The plan goes if it ends up basic is.... Erod, Hembree , Barnes , Kimbrel.

Meh. Cubs only need one to tie. However, when ERod got thru 6 gigantic, monumental innings all by himself, I thought was time to get out the duck boats.

I wish he could keep his pitch counts down, but overall very solid start from E-Rod, lets hope captain dipshit doesn't send him out for the 7th..

[Wade Boggs]

Kelly was warming up. Erod near 110 pitches his night should be over.

[Maxbialystock]

Tonight of course the excuse is we don't hit well in cold weather.

[dgalehouse]

It could be the exposure to Sale, but E-Rod looks to be growing as a pitcher. He could become a real good one yet.

[SoxHop]

Blacked out by MLB TV............. I guess cause it's on ESPN.

 

If I ever run into the person who decides what games are blacked out on MLB I"M GOING TO GO EFFIN FREAKING CRAZY ON THAT PERSON.......

[SoxHop]

Radio is cool too though

[Jasonbay44]

This umpire f***ing blows

[Wade Boggs]

Kendricks has been on the corners all night.

[Jasonbay44]

Kendricks has been on the corners all night.

 

It helps when the umpire gives him a foot off the plate. This dude has a huge strike zone.

[Maxbialystock]

Big rally in the 6th. Bogaerts walked. And of course made no attempt to steal. So Beni and Han ram K and Betts flies out. But still exciting baseball. How I wish I could be at Fenway with all those Cubs fans.

[a700hitter]

Hendricks has been getting an additional 6 inches on the outside corner all game long.

A couple inches maybe. Our guys are carefully schooled in nonaggressive techniques at the plate.

[SoxHop]

Is it Constiglion still doin the radio?

 

He just said...."It's a horseshoe and hand grenade strike zone tonigh"........ THat is magic baseball stuff right there.....

 

 

sometimes radio is better......

[Maxbialystock]

I love it. Our guys can't hit because the umpire is so unfair. Poor babies.

[a700hitter]

I really don't care about the Kris Bryant Red Sox connection. I only care that we seem to have a knack for signing the wrong family member. Remember we signed Ken Brett and not his brother George Brett.

[Jasonbay44]

Its always a good idea to walk two people in front of Kris Bryant.

[a700hitter]

Kelly is taking an ax to this game.

They might see him again if he hits one more bomb of Kelly.

[Station 13]

This team is impossible.

[Maxbialystock]

Huge strike zone? Why can't Kelly find it?

Why couldn't E-ROD?

[Station 13]

Wow WTF
