8/9 at Rays

[d-money]

Nice job by Barnes.

[TylerD]

Porcello was about to blow up the game.

DId his part though. 6 strong innings. Up to the bullpen now.

[Maxbialystock]

Finally .... Farrell goes to the pen and didn't wait for the 7-R rule.

 

7 run rule normally applies early in the game and you are behind. It never applies in the 7th when you are ahead--for any manager in MLB. So I'm guessing you're being facetious.

6 innings 2 HRs good start.

Vintage Devil Rays!

6 innings 2 HRs good start.

 

I figure as long as this offense can put at least 4 or 5 runs on the board Porcello is a ok by me. Guy has been pretty solid most of the year. However when he goes to s*** generally in the 6th or 7th he goes downhill fast.

[mvp 78]

Is there a 7 run rule for passed balls?

[iortiz]

Rays being Devil Rays.

A 4.63 ERA going into the second week of August is not very solid imo.

If that's solid, a lot of pitchers are having a solid year.

[Maxbialystock]

Pretty neat stop by Bogie, who got down so the grounder (the hop) was at eye level.

[mvp 78]

Ho hum, another win...

[SoxHop]

Ho hum, another win...

 

With the game thread start and win......

 

One more time........ One more time...... One more time....... One more time........

[SoxHop]

I figure this is payback for them taking 3 out of 4 from the Sox the last series....

[TylerD]

Today was as perfect of a game as you get. Just beautiful.

[mvp 78]

No game tomorrow. WTF, schedule makers?

Fire Farell

[Spudboy]

Good stuff.

 

Too bad Porcello was blemished by the two dingers. I thought he looked pretty good hitting his spots.

 

Will we see a game anytime again this season without at least one base running blunder?

 

Boggs was very good in the booth.

[Spudboy]

They clearly knew the Pats are on TV tomorrow night.

[moonslav59]

Keep the wins coming!

Two days off in the same week is odd at this juncture of the season.

[a700hitter]

The Red Sox could deliver a death blow to the Yankees this weekend.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Not pictured is Farrell's "He Hate Me" jersey.

 

Or Butterfield's "The Blind Windmill" jersey

[moonslav59]

Two days off in the same week is odd at this juncture of the season.

 

We were going to get the 7th, 10th,14th and 17th off (3 days in 8 days and 4 in 11 days), but we have the Guardians make-up game on the 14th.

 

Very strange scheduling. We also had the 2nd off (5 days off in 16 days scheduled).

 

Starting Friday:

3 @ NYY

1 vs CLE

2 vs StL

day off

3 vs NYY

4 @ CLE

Then, a week later we're at NYY for 4 more.

Tonight's win has brought us to .500 on the road. Let's stay over!!

Two days off in the same week is odd at this juncture of the season.

 

Would've happened two straight weeks if not for the make up with Cleveland on Monday

[S5Dewey]

Hey Thumder! How ya doin'?

[Kimmi]

Tanaka got pulled at 88 pitches. Smoakz was coming up to hit.

 

Hopefully, Girardi will continue to pull his starters early and burn out the pen.
