4/22 @ Oakland

[d-money]

Price really needs to keep this at 1 run. Our offense looks terrible all off a sudden.

[jung]

Price has not given up much so far today.

 

Their pitchers seem to have our number. Not giving us anything really juicy to hit early in counts and putting us away late in counts. Throwing the Sox "get me over" 0-0 pitches trying to get ahead in the count seems to be a fast way to an early grave for pitchers. These last two games we have gotten just the opposite.

That's why getting off to a fast start's nice but you have your slumps.

[d-money]

This offense has to do something. No runs through 14 innings.

Plus what the A's pitchers have done the last two games is not exactly easy. So many starters throw Get me over 0-0 pitches because their permanent state of being on the mound is behind in the count. Not real impressed with the starting pitching around the league. We are fortunate to have the starters we have.

[d-money]

Our bats just look awful. Geez

Yes but you have to find a way. I thought we would hit some today. This guy's hittable.

Price is dealing. Offense really needs to get some runs

How about 1 run? Got 9 outs left. It's frustrating

[Sox75]

Price looking good. Put Mookie in the f***ing game now!

 

NO ********. Everybody is struggling... you put in your best hitter, & don't think twice about it.

Last night Manaea was finally giving up some good pitches to hit early in the count by about the start of the 7th inning. By then we were so frustrated, we couldn't do anything with them and guys were making out AS they were walking up to the plate. Eventually we should get something to hit from this guy. Hopefully we will do more with it today.

[jung]

Time for Devers to do something here. He has looked horrid against this breaking stuff

[jung]

Gomes never knows the count.

[Jasonbay44]

Alright, here we go. 2 on and no one out. Lets score

[Jasonbay44]

Terrible AB by Blake

[Sox75]

I hate these West Coast games where I don't get the NESN feed!!!

[Station 13]

OMG why didn't Betts get to hit for Swihart

[jung]

This place is just screwy. Never see as many fouls balls landing uncaught anywhere else.

[Sox75]

BrockManDo!

[jung]

Atta boy Brock.

[RedSoxNC84]

Let's go

It’s a real s*** hole of a stadium. My friend went there last year and said it was worst stadium he’s ever been too, worse than the Trop

[Jasonbay44]

There we go Brock! PH Betts here?

[Sox75]

OMG why didn't Betts get to hit for Swihart

 

Clearly because he would have f'd with Brockster's building mojo!

[Jasonbay44]

Betts or Hanley should’ve hit there. f***ing horrible AB by Vazquez

[Sox75]

Funny... they invited Trump, trying to sell their new wall, and he said "he would be caught dead in that 'shithole.'"

 

[Station 13]

OMG where's a pinch hitter? Cora is a sink or swim guy with the players.

[Jasonbay44]

We have arguably the best player in baseball ready to come up with two on, and don’t use him to let a mediocre offensive catcher and a utility guy hit. Okay then

[Station 13]

Cora really means a day off for a starter, and let a bench player fail there.

[Emp9]

Yeah, I’m not a big fan of not PHingw/ Betts, HanRam, or Nunez available w/ 1 out & men in scoring position.
