5/9 @ Yanks

[guinness22]

X for 2

[Maxbialystock]

I still don't understand how Cora could position his infielders with men on 1st and 2d, 1 out, so that a double play was impossible or very unlikely.

[Station 13]

It's amazing our hitters can't string s*** together lately. Seems like somebody gets on and is erase by a doubleplay.

[Natick to NC]

Games far from over

[Sox75]

We SHOULD easily win a Wildcard, BUT the only way we get past the Yankees in the post-season, is pure luck with this team.

 

The Yanks are FOR REAL! NO DOUBT ABOUT IT! THEY HAVE IT ALL, & we have major holes.

Pro at bat by Mitch ...Hanley can either step up or sit the pine ...

Don't agree ...we have a better team .Just need bats to wake up ....crush balls in the zone ... Let junk be junk

[Station 13]

Tanaka got pulled. I wonder if Rick is done, doubful if we pushed in a run.

[Natick to NC]

1 run game

[Station 13]

Nice game from Xander. It who he should be and not try to hit homers, which is not his game.

[guinness22]

get him over, get him in. check

[Natick to NC]

Devers is very late on high heat ...and dude may be a slow learner .

[d-money]

This team just cannot get the big hit. Good for one run.

[guinness22]

swing looks long

[Natick to NC]

Guys these two games prove only one thing ....Price and Sale better step the hell up because Pom and Rick sure as hell have .

[Maxbialystock]

What a difference a REAL COMPETITOR makes!

 

Sox completely exposed!

 

Yes. There are some HUGE HOLES on this team!

 

I don't see that at all. The Sox can hit beyond question, even with a weak bottom third of the order. What's happened is the rotation is in trouble and the bullpen is less than reliable except for Kimbrel, and we are about to see that play out.

[Natick to NC]

swing looks long

 

Very long ....and that works for stuff in the zone mostly for him ...anything above the waste he's toast

[Maxbialystock]

Games far from over

 

ABsolutely true. What worries me is our bullpen vs. theirs, and that assumes Porcello won't give back another run in the 6th. You know, 6 in 6 has a nice ring to it. Shows consistency.

[Station 13]

Devers is very late on high heat ...and dude may be a slow learner .

 

He hit 102 from Chappy out last year. He's in a learning curve now.

[Natick to NC]

Rick is growing on me ...dude is crafty

[Natick to NC]

DP time get it sinking Ricky

[guinness22]

like Pom last night, not his best stuff but battling hard

[Youk Of The Nation]

I'm sure I'm wrong, but it feels like the Sox have lost on my birthday for like ten years in a row. I'd really like that to change.

[Natick to NC]

Omg ....waaaaay back Brian Johnson is still on this team ???

[guinness22]

Johnson scares the living crap out of me

[Station 13]

the Yankees rotation outside Sevirno is not very good.

[Natick to NC]

Why this guy ????? Whyyyyy

[d-money]

Cannot give the run back. Come on now!!

[Maxbialystock]

Guys these two games prove only one thing ....Price and Sale better step the hell up because Pom and Rick sure as hell have .

 

Excuse me? Sale hasn't stepped up? He has six quality in 8 starts with an ERA of 2.02 and a WAR of 2.2, highest on the team. That's a step down?

 

Porcello butchered his start tonight, and Pom has 2 quality in 4 starts with an ERA of 5.23.

[Natick to NC]

If Cora pitches Johnson to Judge that's the white flag
