5/2 Royals vs Sox

[RedSoxRally]

Great throw by Devers but just not in time. What I'm really worried about isn't as much Pomeranz (although he's struggled since coming back off the DL) but the Red Sox offense in general.

[jung]

Got a RH hitter out. I know I'm excited!

[RedSoxRally]

You gotta be f'ing kidding me. A f**king check swing base hit...when it rains it f**king pours.

[RedSoxRally]

Nice job by Leon to keep that ball in front of him.

[RedSoxRally]

Time to get the bullpen up and working.

[jung]

Pom is throwing wrong and living right.

[RedSoxRally]

God bless the shift. 4-6-3 DP....inning over.

[Maxbialystock]

Bottom of the order coming up.

[RedSoxRally]

Just can't barrel anything up.

[mvp 78]

But what if we can't afford to re-sign Pomeranz?

[jung]

This is ridiculous.

[Maxbialystock]

Bottom of the order coming up.

 

. . . and going down.

[RedSoxRally]

Apparently Devers doesn't know how to field a ground ball. There's a difference between getting handcuffed and not turning your glove to backhand the ball.

[RedSoxRally]

Nice play by Devers for a change.

[RedSoxRally]

Damn, Mookie never gets cheated at the plate. That was a no doubter right off the bat.

[RedSoxRally]

452 feet...not bad at all Mookie

[jung]

Pom gets back to even. Best get somebody going if Cora actually has any interest in winning this game.

[RedSoxRally]

And just like that we're tied at 3! My lord Duffy is human.

[RedSoxRally]

Both Betts and Martinez's HR's were missiles.

[Maxbialystock]

And just like that we're tied at 3! My lord Duffy is human.

 

Not that bad a pitch, but a sweet swing by JD.

[OH FOY]

If Duffy continues this trend he'll give up 40+ HRs this season in 200 innings.

[RedSoxRally]

Now Xander getting in on the hit parade.

[mvp 78]

Glad the bats are showing up today.

[RedSoxRally]

Not that bad a pitch, but a sweet swing by JD.

 

Absolutely. You're right, that's a case of JD going into pure attack mode.

[jung]

Honest to God OB...just stop. JD did not lose HR's in April due to the weather. The weather is the weather OB. April is April. Go complain to MLB that they should start the season in mid-May and end it in Mid-Sept. See how far that gets you.

Sounds good to me.

[jung]

Sounds good to me.

 

Wonder how MLB will analyze starting in March and if they will continue with that. The Snow-outs can't have made them happy.

[Station 13]

Fenway denied Bogaerts a homer. It robbed a few from JD as well.

Is OB the announcer? If so, I agree with you.

Fenway is no longer a great HR park. Certainly is not the HR park I grew up with. All that extra seating has turned the place into a fishbowl that the breeze just does not get into like it did. Definitely a doubles park now especially with the new press box and lux boxes.
