4/8 vs Rays

[Spudboy]

Field the position.

 

His defense is about the same as Hanleys' in my estimation. Not as good as Morelands'.

A pitcher has to have enough confidence in the movement on his pitches to actually throw with the intention that the hitter is going to hit the ball ....INTO AN OUT!!! Unless you are a true flametrower..you can't throw like this. The thing that kills me at this point.....Erod has enough pitches now. He appears to have at least enough confidence in them to throw them...but he won't throw them with the confidence that the movement on the ball with take the ball off the barrel of the hitter's bat. If he is not going to do that then it will just an endless season of games just like this...ONLY WORSE. Remember...these are the Rays!!!!

Rodriquez could learn something about throwing first pitch strikes. His high pitch count has been a bugaboo for him throughout his career. 73 pitches in 3 innings is a poor outing for him and I think he can hit the strike zone but he is pitching to get batters to swing out of the strike zone. He has decent zelocity and a good mix of pitches, so he can do better. Lets hope he talks to Price who knows how to get away with 10 pitch innings.

This team should not struggle for power the way last year's team did. Even when Pedey comes back IMO, Mookie is the 1 hitter on this team. Beni is the guy who is going to move if he is struggling when Pedey gets back.

 

We shall see though. Betts, Beni, Xander are capable of 25 homers. But only Mookie is a sure thing there.

 

The rest of the pack except JD I am not sure of. Devers is a good young hitter, he will have his bad days. Han-ram is bad for years now.

[Natick to NC]

Benny is freaking over Due ..

[Natick to NC]

Sit Benny right now it's time that kid needs to clear his head badly .

[Sox75]

Beni is pulling everything. He need to ease up get things rolling by going op. Field.

Eddie has been up in counts 0-2 on at least two hitters in this game...maybe 3. Still ended up in the usual Eddie pickle. I would be pulling my hair out on the bench. I couldn't take it. I swear I would go out there and kick him right in the knee and tell him to hobble over to the bench and go sit down!

[Natick to NC]

need Erod to go right ar them here and hope they are quick outs

[jung]

There.... strike 1 in this inning was actually a pitcher's pitch. Took eddie what three innings to throw 1?

[Natick to NC]

0 2 blow him away

[Natick to NC]

Bust this guy up

[jung]

0 2 blow him away

 

He does not know how to pitch. He literally does not know how. Amazing to think it.

[Natick to NC]

hes got nothing ....number 5 pitcher is all he is .

[d-money]

Need to keep this game within reach. The

[Natick to NC]

Yank him now he's garbage

[jung]

Its just too much ....just too much. Watching eddie is like punishment. What did we do to deserve this???

[Natick to NC]

Butchered by Xander ....

[Natick to NC]

X .... Has to make that play ....

[jung]

Butchered by Xander ....

 

X has this unusual knack for butchering one at the worst possible time. But they got one out. So their error rate is still intact.

[Natick to NC]

X may have cost us this game

[jung]

Oh my God...Oh my God

[Natick to NC]

Benny is not X with a Glove Mookie even makes that catch

[d-money]

Rodriguez's a bum.

[Jasonbay44]
