4/18 Sox at Angels

[d-money]

Porcello has given up three hard hit singles.

 

Some typical first inning troubles

[Sox75]

Nice rp!

[d-money]

Plz get out of this inning.

Porcello has given up three hard hit singles.

He gives up a lot of base runners, but he will be okay if he can keep the ball in the park.

He’s kept the ball in the park, but it doesn’t give me confidence if he’s giving up hard line drives for singles lol.

[Jasonbay44]

Hell of a job getting out of that by Porcello

[SoxHop]

Un - beleivable

[a700hitter]

He worked out of the bases loaded jam.

[SoxHop]

What the heck. The scouting report is to pitch pretty much the whole team high? I've never heard that before..

[d-money]

23 pitches for porcello that inning. Hope he settles down.

[Sox75]

Despite getting into a MAJOR JAM, Porcello was hitting that high & slightly inside spot like he had a scope on it!

[mvp 78]

Devers is good

[a700hitter]

What a difference in the offense this season!! The ball explodes off Devers bat.

[Youk Of The Nation]

So the Red Sox are really good at grand slams.

[Jasonbay44]

What is that 4 grand slams already?

[SoxHop]

Wow..... this team

[Maxbialystock]

Incredible. One tough lineup. 6-0!

[moonslav59]

Devers Forevers!

[Emp9]

Sloth w/ the Grand Slam!

[Youk Of The Nation]

I feel like there's a Denny's joke with all of these Grand Slams, but I really can't put it together for some reason. Someone else should.

[Youk Of The Nation]

I just watched the video of the Devers slam. What the hell is up with that wall? The yellow line is just flat against the middle of the wall? I don't think I've ever seen that before.

Yeah I don't understand it, I'm like 100% sure that yellow line wasn't always there either.

[iortiz]

Quoting Depeche Mode “I just can’t get enough” LOL!

 

This team is so exciting to watch. Go Sox!

[a700hitter]

Porcello's strength is pitching with a lead.

[Youk Of The Nation]

I just googled it, apparently they lowered the line from the top of the wall (18ft) to there (8ft) during this past offseason. I don't understand why they didn't shorten the wall. It makes no sense to have a line in the middle of the wall. HR lines should be set up so that any ball going over them goes out of the park. Sometimes they'll hit a short ledge and bounce back, but there should definitely not be a situation where half of the HRs hit in your park are playable off of the wall.

[a700hitter]

J.D. is a very good hitter, not an all or nothing slugger. I like that.

[iortiz]

The Hanley-Martinez-Moreland-Devers core looks very dangerous. Pure power!

Porcello's strength is pitching with a lead.

 

He hasn’t been sharp as the last start but effective.

 

This team has all its engines sync and oiled.

[d-money]

Come on porcello!!
