6/7 @ New York (AL)

[Maxbialystock]

OK. Porcello proves he is up to his 2017 standard. No way, no how can this be blamed on the defense. 5 earned runs on 7 hits, one of them a 3 run dinger.

[d-money]

I'm not liking Porcello right about now...

 

Big question mark in this rotation if keeps pitching like this.

[a700hitter]

Porcello is giving up 3 run bombs this year. Last year the Homers were solo jobs.

[SoxHop]

Rick was really sharp last year. He had games he looked like a Cy-Young. His stuff was crisp.......

 

not so much this year....

[Maxbialystock]

Oh, and a grounder to the right, he barely beat the runner to 1b. Come to think of it, that's actually way better than Pomeranz who simply can't be bothered. Sale, fortunately, didn't get the word and does a great job of getting to 1b.

[NativeBostonian]

Porcello Is the 5th best starter on this team right now. Even Pom Pom and his five innings is better then this.

[d-money]

Just take the series tomorrow!!! Price needs to come up big. He has been awful against the Yankees lately

[a700hitter]

Maybe we should phantom DL this bum until he straightens himself out.

[d-money]

Limp dick has been garbage this year. What can you do really? You need to hope he starts pitching better

[jacksonianmarch]

He can join Tanaka

[Station 13]

Switch catcher to Porcello and call less 2 strike fastballs.

[SoxHop]

He can join Tanaka

 

JM.....

 

What's going to happen to Sabathia after this season? Does he keep playing or retire? Has he said anything?

[Ratlike]

Maybe we need a translator to tell Porcello to stop sucking.

[Bama Boy]

That's it, I'm changing the channel to watch reruns of the Jeffersons.

[Station 13]

Maybe we need a translator to tell Porcello to stop sucking.

 

is he Polish?

[Station 13]

He can join Tanaka

 

Nah Porcello is not going to the glue factory quite yet.

[a700hitter]

Bradley is having a horrendous night. He booted a double into a triple. He collided with Betts. He k'd and hit a weak assed comebacker that CC fielded barehanded with a runner on third and no outs.

[bkzwhitestrican]

CC has said that he wants to keep playing into his 40's. Likely in the NL since he likes batting.

[a700hitter]

Nah Porcello is not going to the glue factory quite yet.

He is a 4 ERA pitcher.

[SoxHop]

Thanks for the update Guerin on Carson Smith............ it sounds like maybe soon or not that we could possibly eventually see him maybe rehab or not in the near or long distant future...

[a700hitter]

So now Porcello is a sometimes sinkerballer?

[Station 13]

So now Porcello is a sometimes sinkerballer?

 

He is missing them up half of the time.

[illinoisredsox]

This game was over before it began with that ridiculous lineup! I f***ing hate Farrell!

 

So what would your line up have been, oh wise one?

[a700hitter]

We used to hit CC better when he had good stuff. He is throwing puss balls to the plate and our hitters look like dopes.

[illinoisredsox]

Maybe we should phantom DL this bum until he straightens himself out.

 

And start who? Kendrick? Velazquez?

[SoxHop]

CC has said that he wants to keep playing into his 40's. Likely in the NL since he likes batting.

 

THX

 

No way........ I'd like to see him take some major HR cuts at the ball.....

 

He's still effective....... might as well make the dough while you can.....

[illinoisredsox]

We used to hit CC better when he had good stuff. He is throwing puss balls to the plate and our hitters look like dopes.

 

That's because CC has learned to be a pitcher. Amazing what movement and location can do.

[a700hitter]

Porcello giving it the old college try ... trying to give up a 3 HR.

[Maxbialystock]

Farrell needs to be fired for putting that lineup alone!

 

Who did you have in mind that isn't out there? Ortiz retired, in case no one told you. This team, with any lineup you want to pick, is going to be shut down by good pitching. Sabathia has a good repertoire and good control and I'm guessing pitching motion is deceptive.

 

It is ridiculous to claim the manager can someone fix a dominant performance by the opposing pitcher by, for example, using Benintendi, who ain't they good against lefties and who has never seen Sabathia pitch before.

Beside that HR by Carter in the 4th, Porcello is pitching well. The HR is burning him this year.
