4/15 Orioles at Fenway

[RedSoxNC84]

Here we go

[RedSoxRally]

That is not a bounce you see happen everyday! A good throw may have gotten JBJ but he still had a good jump.

[Jasonbay44]

I'd think JBJ at leadoff is just to give him a different look.

 

I'm as big of a JBJ supporter as you'll find, but he has always struggled at the top of the lineup for whatever reason. He needs to stay near bottom.

[RedSoxRally]

F**k Yeah!!!

[Natick to NC]

Can we just all agree JBJ is at best a number 8 hitter ???

[Maxbialystock]

Lin should lead off not Jackie

 

Could be right, but no one on talksox said anything like that before the game started.

[RedSoxRally]

Beni knows what to do with an inside pitch! He turned on that ball in a hurry and his speed ended up being a bigger factor in the end.

[Natick to NC]

New game

[Maxbialystock]

An out, but a great swing by HanRam! Also, a tie game!

[RedSoxRally]

Now the Red Sox are getting some good cuts in on Bundy. A lot of hits are getting squared up.

I'd agree usually. He seems to thrive in the 9 hole. And sometimes could have hit higher than that. But he isn't doing so well. I'd say Cora is just trying to mess with his mind a bit. Make him see something new, get him to think about something different. If he starts hitting, then probably slot him back in the order.

 

What's the movie where the catcher makes the pitcher wear womens panties to keep him off kilter. Just like that.

[Natick to NC]

Scrappy team we have even on a Nasty day with multiple starters out .

New game

 

was it mentioned before. Where is Nunez?

[d-money]

Damn it. I wanted the lead.

[Jasonbay44]

Could be right, but no one on talksox said anything like that before the game started.

 

I questioned the decision right away. I would've been fine with Lin at lead off, he has good AB's and makes things happen. JBJ for whatever reason, not sure if its lack of confidence, or what, but he has always struggled when he moves up in lineup.

[RedSoxRally]

An out, but a great swing by HanRam! Also, a tie game!

 

No doubt can't complain with those kind of outs. Bundy should be thanking his lucky stars now because Red Sox hitters are really starting to hit balls hard unlike the first few innings.

What's that line from Young Frankenstein? It's Alive! It's Alive!

[Maxbialystock]

Speaking of frankenstein, one our bull pen frighteners just took the mound.

He had actually been doing better recently. he raised his average 70 points since Tuesday and was making more solid contact.

Sox hop that's a hell of an observation ....you a sports psych? I hate that approach myself but maybe down the line it pays. Off . ...great observation though .

[Jasonbay44]

Hopefully we don't get the s***** Hembree.

[RedSoxRally]

was it mentioned before. Where is Nunez?

 

Getting the day off. I thought I heard O'Brien say that Cora was giving Nunez today off and possibly tomorrow off before heading out west. Keep in mind Cora is keeping Mookie out today and possibly tomorrow to give his foot a bit more rest.

[RedSoxRally]

Gentry has been a pain in our ass all day so far.

[d-money]

A leadoff single.

[Maxbialystock]

Good old Hembree, all fast balls all the time. They singled off one of them? I'll fix that with more fastballs.

[StephenCurry30]

hembree definitely dms random underage girls on twitter and asks if they want pictures of his dick

[d-money]

How many pitches did sale have?

[StephenCurry30]

and of course the umpire squeezes hembree against machado, because its not a big enough disadvantage to have hembree in the game period.

[RedSoxRally]

What's that line from Young Frankenstein? It's Alive! It's Alive!

 

It is and I like the Mel Brooks version better!!

[StephenCurry30]

am the only on who keeps thinking lin is black due to all the stuff on his face? I literally keep thinking "who the hell is that little black shortstop"
