5/2 Royals vs Sox

[mvp 78]

@alexspeier

 

Betts is the only Red Sox player with four career three-homer games.

Mookie makes it looks so easy. This kid is a phenomenon.

[Slasher9]

seriously. Mookie makes it look like an easy sport to play.

Markus

Lynn

Betts

[Slasher9]

I have said this in the past and will continue to say it....John Henry/DD should hand Mookie a blank contract and tell him to fill in the numbers. I am 100% serious. 100%.

Best position player for the Sox since Yaz? Teddy Ballgame?

Mookie's last 4 innings

107mph, 452' HR

98 mph, 361' HR

104 mph, 440' HR

 

@redsoxstats

 

452 and 440 are the 2 longest balls he has hit in the majors. Previous long was 434.

Sure looks that way.

Mookie Betts is now the youngest player in MLB history to have 4 3-HR games https://www.baseball-reference.com/tiny/kAhg2 #RedSox

This bullpen's ridiculous. Never make it easy.

[jung]

We have seen some screwy baseball games this home stand.

[mvp 78]

That seemed like a normal Barnes inning to me.

He is now tied for 7th all time in 3-homer games with some pretty major names (Pujols, Carlos Delgado, Willie Stargell, Aramis Ramirez, Larry Parrish, Ralph Kiner and Barry Bonds). Arod, McGwire, Dave Kingman and Joe Carter each had 5. Johnny Mize and Sosa had 6. Of course, a few if those should have asterisks.

Kimbrel warming up?

[Slasher9]

leprechaun best not f*** this one up.

Wake me up when he hits 4.

damn it

Can't hate on Mookie, he's one of the top players in the game. But I have always thought it was strange that he bats leadoff instead of 3rd or 4th. Gotta think he'd be driving in a lot more runs a couple of spots down in the order.

[Slasher9]

baseball. you'll see something new errrrytime.

maybe if he went to a Miami clinic for a checkup you would like him more....

[Slasher9]

Win.

[jung]

Nice way to end the home stand

The place where Manny and Papi used to hang????

[mvp 78]

Kimbrel is ok I guess.

That still can happened. He batted in the middle order before.

Yaz is my favorite Sox player of all time. I did not see Williams.

 

Betts is better than Yaz. His speed in a real advantage.

One would think

no dummy. they only had Dominican Milkshakes...remember? that has nothing to do with Miami clinics. your getting your PeD stories mixed up.

 

 

FTR - I used "no dummy" as a phrase. im not actually calling you names personally.....

[Emp9]

Won the series. That’s really all I ever care about anyway. Should we have swept them? Yes. We stop giving up 3 spots the first 2 innings we may get another winning streak going.

[Maxbialystock]

Great win thanks to the mojo of Station 13 and A700hitter. Thanks, guys.

 

Fascinating baseball game. Pom starts out horrible, gets a quality start. Kelly looks OK, but not Barnes, and Kimbrel comes right back out and gets a very nice save.

 

Mookie unreal, just unreal. Plus JD made a very good swing on that 2 run dinger. Go, Astros!

 

If moonslav reads this, I would like his thoughts on CERA with respect to Leon and Vazquez.
