6/9 vs Tigers

[a700hitter]

Big night for Moreland.

He and Bogaerts have been the entire offense lately. Let's see if Dancing With The Stars Benintendi can get a hit.

More warning track type power from the elfish outfielder.

Trade JBJ!

Mighty Midget Bradley!!

[d-money]

Huge. They need this game with the yankees winning.

[SoxHop]

I love it............ I love that it was JBJ that did that...

[Station 13]

Tigers pen is clutch

[SoxHop]

three and a half hours on this game...

 

this is going to be a four hour game...... WTF?

[Spudboy]

We have 1 unearned run in the last 22 innings--atrocious. We have 1 hit so far tonight. Are we facing another great pitcher tonight? Zimmerman has an almost 6 ERA.

 

Pathetic batting against a stiff.

[Spudboy]

One of the few guys over 6 feet tall hits a HR. It is telling that Moreland is a centerpiece of our offense. That was not supposed to be his role, and he is not good enough to anchor the lineup.

 

But then HE IS A GOLD GLOVE!!1!!!1:p

[Spudboy]

Does Barnes and Price looks alike?

 

Yes. You never noticed this. Even their stances on the mound look similar even though they are opposite arms.

[Spudboy]

Hanley is a complete idiot on the basepath...

 

He must think that he is still a 60 SB guy. His legs say otherwise.

 

He is the Sox flag bearer for dumb base running.

[Station 13]

Without HR on this team, they have to avoid DP, you have to take Pedroia out the 2hole.

[SoxHop]

Dirty Water......

 

JBJ is heating up........ I'd love to see him go on a run.......

 

sloppy play........ it would be nice to see clean games from these clowns........

[Spudboy]

Pablo f***ing sucks..

 

Pablow can't play the position anymore. I can run faster than VMart. There is no way that he should get an infield hit on that ball. It takes Pablow forever to throw the ball. The guy sucks. That should have been charged as an error.

 

Tonight he was displaying his ineptitude. No lateral speed or mobility, poor footwork, inaccurate throws. I have seen enough to know he is not capable of fulfilling his contract.

 

I'd much rather give Mike Lowell a call. Bad hip and all I would be confident that he would make more clean plays.

 

Plus he is not very good with the bat.

 

Play Merrero and look at Moose.

Good job by Hembree, Kelly & Barnes.

[SoxHop]

We are seeing the cross over from Hanley of the fine line between aggressive baserunning and "what the hell are you even thinking" kind of running.....

[Spudboy]

Pablo f***ing sucks..

 

Pablo either bobbles the ball, or makes a what looks like a great grab due to his s*** range...... then throws it away...... I'm done with Pablo.....

 

The probable epitaph on his grave stone.

[Spudboy]

Pablo f***ing sucks..

 

We are seeing the cross over from Hanley of the fine line between aggressive baserunning and "what the hell are you even thinking" kind of running.....

 

That's just it. He used to be able to run fast enough to get in there safely. Now he still tries but his speed has eroded with age and girth.

[Bellhorn04]

Hanley:

 

Hitting Fair to Good

Fielding Poor to Fair (now non-existent)

Baserunning Poor

Durability Poor to Fair

 

Pablo:

 

Hitting Poor

Fielding Poor

Baserunning Poor

Durability Poor

[Spudboy]

The day we signed Hanley and Panda was one very bad day for this team.

 

Hahahahahahahahahaha!11!1!

 

God I love ya Bell.

[Spudboy]

I have no idea how my multi-quote post god f***ed or how it was used again. Must be Firefox because I am not exactly high as balls.

Hanley:

Kind of fun how bi-polar this game thread can be...... all depending if we are winning or losing... I know I'm guilty... Edited June 10, 2017 by SoxHop

Same with after a two game winning streak or a two game losing streak.

 

Of course, I get upset over a win or two, and I feel better after a win or two, but I don't even have to try to keep myself from letting emotions based on teenie tiny sample sizes to cloud my beliefs and opinions.

 

I truly believe we have a very good team- pitching, offense and defense. I thought our weakest link was our pen, and they've done a fine job so far. Now, have I ever felt good about a Sox team in the past and been wrong? Hell, yes. I've been horribly wrong, at times. I know I could be wrong about this year.

 

I didn't think we had a winning team in 2013, and was wrong from that side of the spectrum, too.

 

Again, it's a 162 game season, and the season is followed by a largely crap-shoot playoff system.

 

There are times during every season that each team looks bad or good. Some look really good and/or really bad at times too, even the teams that end up winning it all.

 

I realize the season sample size is growing every day, and the offense continues to sputter and fizzle, but I firmly believe this offense is much better than it has shown to be so far. I hope I'm not wrong this time.

Me too, except, thank goodness, I didn't post during this game. But I sure had 7 innings of dark thoughts. Like most, I retain those about HanRam and Pablo.

I'm pretty sure we all lose our s*** from time to time in the game thread.

 

We should have a new rule. What happens in the game thread, stays in the game thread....

 

This place is the closest thing many of us have to hanging out in a bar talking about the game and the Sox with other Sox fans....

Good job by Hembree, Kelly & Barnes.

 

For all of the criticism that our pen gets, it has really done a pretty good job.

FTR, you all would not want to watch a game with me.
