6/28 Twins at Fenway, Game 3

[Station 13]

Get bent Farrell.

[d-money]

I would bring porcello back for the 6th with 97 pitches.

 

This offense has been inconsistent once again!

[a700hitter]

Mookie is killing us.

[d-money]

So sick of watching this inconsistent offense. Ughhhh.

[d-money]

Not the way you wanna start an inning porcello.

[d-money]

Ballgame!

[a700hitter]

Porcello is a bum. He can't even throw a Quality Start. He has given up 17 HRs already this season.

[Maxbialystock]

Bogaerts two straight fastballs in close to the same spot. He lets the first go for a strike, then hits a weak grounder to 2b on the second. Both balls up in the zone about in the middle and midway between the center point and the outside edge of the plate.

 

This guy ain't that great, our guys are just terrible tonight.

[bowman]

No doubt this team needs a f..... impact bat. DH 30 - 40 hrs nope. 3B 25 - 30 hrs nope. Hanley is a dog. Pablo well good luck to you. And by the way, Pede takes a few nights off at he plate too. Bogie 5 hrs.. WTF.

[a700hitter]

Porcello:

 

2015 9 wins 15 Losses 4.92 ERA

2016 22 wins 4 Losses 3.15 ERA

2017 4 wins 9 Losses 5.00 ERA soon to be 10 losses

Not a good start, agreed, but the hitting tonight is worse. Are you watching how our guys just rollover when they come to the plate? With men on 1st and 2d and no one out, Pedroia pops to the infield and Bogaerts and Moreland strike out.

 

Like I said earlier, the Sox are 39-10 this year whenever they score 4 runs. Tonight the hitting is just abysmal at least over the first 5 innings.

[bowman]

Agree, becoming an obvious pattern..

Porcello was garbage once again. The team is having trouble scoring runs. He can't be pitching to a 5.50 ERA. We aren't going to win too many games of his with that.

If the score stays as is, this is the 8th time they don't score any runs when Porcello starts. So his sucking won't matter.

Well, he has only 2 good seasons in his career. As I said 2 years ago, he is nothing but a No 4-5 arm.

[Maxbialystock]

Now JBJ gets two fast fast balls, fouls one off and misses the other.

[a700hitter]

I got run over like that covering first one time and I did a full backward tumble. It is little embarrassing, but I held onto the ball making it less embarrassing.

[mvp 78]

Scott stinks right now.

[SoxHop]

Is it me or does Polanco's eyes make him look like he's tripping balls all the time?

[NativeBostonian]

Maybe he is tripping balls all the time.

[SoxHop]

Maybe he is tripping balls all the time.

 

That can't be safe........ tripping balls while people try to throw 100 mph pitches by you....

[Station 13]

Pedroia modest 0.5WAR season is invisible.

[NativeBostonian]

That can't be safe........ tripping balls while people try to throw 100 mph pitches by you....

 

I smoked weed and went into a batting cage once....That was funny as hell.

[Maxbialystock]

Sox 0 for 8 with RISP--an enduring malady this season.

[NativeBostonian]

So how did Farrell screw the game up tonight?

yea........ that whole game was a cockamamy tease.......

[Bama Boy]

Doesn't matter if its the offense when BDR starts or his pitching performance. We can assume for the remainder of the year that his starts will result in a loss. Similarly we can assume that Sales starts will be a win. The anomalies of the two will average out. This means how price, Pom and e rod perform will dictate how this team will finish the remainder of the season. At this point of the year we know we have a very inconsistent offense that is middle of the pack as far as run production is concerned.

[SoxHop]

Probably tripping balls and high as a kite again......

[Station 13]

So how did Farrell screw the game up tonight?

 

By not being suspended.
