4/27 Rays at Red Sox

[Natick to NC]

Vaz call that hanger again and again and again and again don't mix it up

[jung]

Vaz is not a great catcher his game calling is not that great ....highly overrated here .

 

What pitch is vaz supposed to call? Not sure pom has "The disappearing pitch". That is about the only one Pom is going to get past some of these hitters.

[Jasonbay44]

I’m sure Vazquez is telling Pomeranz to hang every pitch and give up line drives..

When I was a kid, MVP baseball set out their initial video game on SNES. If you put a position player in to pitch, the guy had 5 pitches, all of them were FAT. I am thinking Pom is throwing a damn good FAT pitch

[jung]

Pom's FB has been flat with nothing on it. His curve has only two or three times been as deep and as sharp as we are used to seeing it. If he can't do anything with those two pitches, Houdini could be catching and its not going to matter. At least Pom was able to compete in a couple of those AB's. So far he has not been able to complete in most of them. Some of the outs of the first 9 were pure luck.

[Maxbialystock]

The contrast between Pom and Snell, both lefties, is stark. Pom is lucky to have held the Rays to 3, and Snell so far looks unhittable. Plus he is throwing a lot of strike and not needing a lot of pitches.

[jung]

Boy since the word got out from the Manaea game, we are making decent pitchers look like rotation 1's and really good pitchers look like they are a lock for the Cy.

188 average for Vaz .....188 .......But hey he will be hot a week or two .....sorry 186 now he's Awesome

If your argument is for Swihart, Cora has tons of opportunity to get Swihart in the lineup and won't do it for some reason. So I just don't think Vaz average is at the moment relevant to Swihart.

[Station 13]

So how much for Bryce Harper? Mookie to CF.

[Maxbialystock]

Vazquez lined out. Nobody in the lineup has a hit, and 5 of the 9 have K'd. And you want to pick on Vazquez?

[Natick to NC]

Keep calling that pitch Vaz it's working awesome

[a700hitter]

Pomeranz with the third Porcello.

[jung]

Actually the 0-0 pitch to Robinson should have been hit out and I didn't have the heart to say it.

[Station 13]

Vazquez lined out. Nobody in the lineup has a hit, and 5 of the 9 have K'd. And you want to pick on Vazquez?

 

Why not? he's under the Mendoza line.

Yuuuuuup I sure do he sucks right now and so does Sandy ...both suck and are highly overrated here .I am freaking tired of both of them .

[Jasonbay44]

I think Pomeranz is hurt. Velocity down and bums hitting bombs off him all game is concerning

[d-money]

What a garbage game. Pomeranz should be on thin ice in the rotation.

This has to be the case but why the hell pull a John Farrell then ? Take him out for the love of God it's Fenway !!!we can come back from 4 not 7

[d-money]

Looks like we losing this one barring a miracle.

[iortiz]

Well, this is not what expected from Pom. BTW why didn’t Price start tonight?

[Station 13]

I like Valesquez back in Pom spot.

[d-money]

I would put pomeranz in the bullpen.

[Station 13]

Well, this is not what expected from Pom. BTW why didn’t Price start tonight?

 

No, Sale got moved up. It was suppose to be Pom vs Toronto

[d-money]

We still don't have a hit. Can we hit good pitching?

[jung]

You know I have lost interest when i am not tracking the opposing batting order. But Pom CANNOT be allowed to face a string of RH batters in this game. If anything like that is about to come to the plate, get him out or just give it up.

[Natick to NC]

So number 1 pointing outside is a slider ....off the plate .

[Natick to NC]

We have to put Velazquez in right freaking away and put Swihart in while he's at it ....what a s*** show this lineup is

[Station 13]

This team miss a guy like Pedroia, nobody else grinds out at-bats like he can.

[SoxHop]

This is just strange watching Pom. Where's the huge looping curve he goes to all the time?

 

Strange how they talk about giving Xander all the time to rehab to come back strong. Ovbiously Pom isn't close to 100 percent.
