Kevin Gausman (1-2 7.50 ERA)

 

Gausman has been absolutely horrible this season and Sox have roughed him up once already. Win this s***.

After hitting well in the 6th spot, I hope Pedroia can continue his hot streak now that he's back to leadoff.

If Sale alone suspended, MLB will have afforded Orioles benefit of doubt but none for Red Sox--when everyone knows this is a back and forth.

 

I hate baseball....

I'm sorry, but Joe Torre has no qualifications for the job he holds. He has feedback in these type of things. I don't care if it is his call or not.. He has some say in the end. He's a scumbag.

I guess Manny Machado could say, I will go out there with a baseball bat and handle it...gets nothing. I remember Don Baylor getting hit by 95mph fastballs and jogging at first. I'm sorry but the pitchers can't pitch inside anymore, It is a hitters world I guess.

Don Baylor was a man. Machado is a baby. Sad!

The consensus around baseball is that the Sox are coming off badly in all of this. Most seem to feel that Machado's slide was not all that bad. Throwing at his head was inexcusable. It cannot be defended. Pedroia understood that.Baltimore retaliates by hitting Mookie.Then there comes the racial stuff with Jones. Then , after the cheering for Jones , Sale throws at Machado again. Now , Sale may get a suspension. The whole thing has been poorly handled. Like it or not , most impartial observers think the Sox were mostly to blame. There is no more die-hard Sox fan than me, but I don't get the idea of us being the victims here. And I can't blame Machado for being upset. It is time for Farrell to show some leadership and put a stop to this. Maybe then the team can forget the distractions and start playing smart baseball. If it continues , there will be an all out brawl , with possible injuries and suspensions. We should not be rooting for that to happen. Edited by dgalehouse

This is some kind of major ******** if Sale gets suspended. For what?

 

Maybe if the umps had warned both teams before the game started and Sale ignored the admonition and threw behind Machollo anyway.

 

Otherwise this really is not fair or appropriate.

Well reasoned, stated. However, I still like what Sale did because to me it was obvious he meant to miss Machado while still sending a message. Plus Sale then struck Machado out and pitched 8 solid innings to--finally, finally--actually get a damn win. Maybe what he did aroused those dormant bats.

My thanks again to Jbay for starting last night's thread which clearly got the Sox the win. Yes, I know Sale pitched great and the bats finally did something, but the key was the game thread and the sheer guts of JBay44. If we are starting a win streak, the Sox did to get him out there to throw a first pitch.

Joe Torre is clearly a senile stupid vindictive prick if Sale gets suspended. For what? He got warned.

 

Torre says that Sale's pitch was intentional, which it was, but says that he thinks Bundy's pitch that hit Mookie was not intentional. What???

All this crap with Machado has me really riled up. I can't stand the Os.

 

I hope we beat the snot out of them the next two games.

 

Get it done boys! WIN!!!

jones fouls off the first 5 pitches, then gets a ball. pomeranz might need 30 pitches to get out of the 1st, which is probably fine with Pomeranz. he doesn't like to get too deep into games.
