5/13 Rays at Fenway

[Maxbialystock]

Lefty Snell vs. lefty Sale, hoping to beat the weather.

 

Betts

Pedroia

Bogaerts

Benintendi

Young

Moreland

Leon

Bradley

Marrero

 

We're almost to mid-May, the Sox are 1 game over .500, and Farrell's job could be in peril if the downward trend continues into June.

Still no Hanley. Without him the lineup is garbage. Playing a rookie at cleanup speaks volumes. I love the kid's bat, but seriously, he should not be the centerpiece of the lineup for a playoff bound team.

Holt is nor Traynor or Robinson at 3rd base, but Hernandez's nerves are totally shot. He needs at least another year. Maybe at a spot where there's a coach that can help him. Wouldn't matter much which "A", just somebody to teach him how to play 3rd base. (Man, what a team this would be with Evan Longoria!!!)

[NativeBostonian]

We've got the pitching matchup. But, I'm not quite confident in this lineup.

[TylerD]

Take em down and get a sweep! Sale will be lights out today

[TylerD]

We've got the pitching matchup. But, I'm not quite confident in this lineup.

 

Meh. Sale is pitching. We're fine

[NativeBostonian]

Meh. Sale is pitching. We're fine

That's why I said we've got the pitching matchup. But, that doesn't always result in wins. Sale could give up one run and still lose.

[Maxbialystock]

Marrero took away a hit.

[Wayne]

Aren't these players pretty in their pink decorated uniforms? I hope there's a brawl today.

[Station 13]

Bogerts need to retool that swing, it's all upper body.

[jacksonianmarch]

Bogerts need to retool that swing, it's all upper body.

 

He's hitting .350. Relax

[NativeBostonian]

There is your 1 run loss right there.

[a700hitter]

Meh. Sale is pitching. We're fine

We will need to score.

[Station 13]

He's hitting .350. Relax

 

BABIP can only works so much. He's not using his lower body to drive a ball.

Playoff bound?

[a700hitter]

Playoff bound?

Exactly. ?

[a700hitter]

This lineup is a joke for a $200 million team where the best players XB, Betts and Benintendi are dirt cheap.

[royplayer]

As soon as Toronto gets on a roll the Sox could be in last place.

[royplayer]

Wouldn't it be nice to have a lineup that could support Sale. He is money.

[NativeBostonian]

This team needs a 3rd basemen and a center fielder. Ones that can score runs.

[a700hitter]

Bradley needs to find his s*** fast. His bat is needed. we no longer have the luxury of saying that we will carry his .200 bat because of his glove. We don't have Big Papi anchoring this lineup. We have little production at catcher, zero at 3B and a subpar offensive first baseman. You can't carry 4 dead spots in the lineup regardless of the quality of your pitching. He needs to start producing.

[a700hitter]

Thank god for Mookie!

[Station 13]

This team run the bases like *******s.

[a700hitter]

Aw s***!

[NativeBostonian]

These f***ing Rays are always doing that kind of s*** to us. f***

[a700hitter]

These f***ing Rays are always doing that kind of s*** to us. f***

I have hated them for years.

[a700hitter]

Marrero? Seriously? The balls are really flying today.

[Bellhorn04]

More like it.

[NativeBostonian]

That should be it for the Rays starter.

[NativeBostonian]

I wonder how well Chilli Davis can manage this team.
