5/23 Red Sox at Rays

[Bellhorn04]

Price vs. Archer

 

A classic matchup tonight, folks. A one-time Rays ace against a current Rays sort-of ace.

 

The Sox have enjoyed some success against Archer in the past, and he is struggling a bit so far this year, with a 5.01 ERA.

 

But you can never take anything for granted in this game, so just win, baby!

 

(And if our hitters are in the mood to kick Archer's butt all over the place, well, that'd be OK too.)

This time, hit the right catwalk guys. Jeez. Can't you do anything right? Gotta hit that C-ring and D-ring.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I'm hoping Holt is at 2nd tonight instead of Nunez.

[Spudboy]

Time for the Sox to put the peddle down and rip off a nice run of winning baseball.

 

If Mr. Tingles is on his game I see a win tonight.

 

Who will homer for the Sox?

[mvp 78]

Betts RF,

Benintendi LF,

Ramirez 1B,

Martinez DH,

Bogaerts SS,

Devers 3B,

Núñez 2B,

Bradley Jr. CF,

Vázquez C,

 

Price LHP.

Optional early BP drew a big crowd of #RedSox players. Benintendi, Vazquez, Ramirez, Holt, Devers, Bradley, Swihart, Nunez, etc.

As Jasonbay said last night, the stupid and vulgar posts pollute the rest of the site. Lots of good posters here who know baseball and are real Sox fans. I for one will take a rest for a while and stay off the site, not wanting any association with the one or two guys who bring the site down. Hard to ignore them.

That's too bad, but understandable.

Actually, it's not. You just put them on ignore and you don't even have to scroll past the drivel. The negative is you have to log in to have it work; if you just read, it's all there.

 

I don't like to put people on ignore, but I like even less having to scroll past a dozen or more posts of garbage to get to a post containing something worth discussing/reading, and then having to go through another 10 of garbage again. The ignores have earned their place on the list.

Pretty close to last night except for Vazquez catching and JBJ moving up to 8th. Still no Moreland.

Just stay out of the game thread oldtimer. Continue to post in the other threads.

I smell another Red Sox victory.

 

Vazquez goes yard tonight.

Me too

.....Swihart and JBJ on the Block MVP ?

[Natick to NC]

Why keep playing Nuney and Hanley ? Why not give Mitch and Brock this one ?Also why not showcase Swihart now ?

[jung]

I opened up the game thread last night as soon as I saw it up and then promptly missed the entire game. First full game missed on the year. Nice, real nice jung. Hopefully I will do better tonight.

Not JBJ

[Natick to NC]

I wonder if the s*** show that marcel Ozuna has been for the cards they may want to deal ? JBJ,Swihart ,Johnson and some cash ...of course not but I love Ozuna at Fenway . Edited May 23, 2018 by Natick to NC

That's too bad, but understandable.

 

...my apologies old timer .I know I'm one I'll clean my act up ....or not .

[Natick to NC]

Not JBJ

 

Rays ,Rangers both could use him as a starter Swihart ....he will haunt this team book it .

And if he sucks, you’ll just blame the Sox or disappear from TS.

[FredLynn]

Why is Ramirez out there instead of Moreland v a RHP?? Why get him closer to 497?

[Station 13]

#NoTo497

[Maxbialystock]

Hanley has to learn that with a man on first and one or no outs, his job is to K.

[bosoxmal]

Where Moreland these days? Injry>

BUT WE'RE WINNING.

 

Don't f*** with chemistry.

[SoxHop]

$24 dollar tickets on the Rays site for this game. You could pretty much pick your seat for that. Still seems a bit high for some reason, maybe cause the place looks almost empty.

[jung]

Seem to have something of a pitching dual going here.

[Oscars]

Hanley has GIDP for the 8th time this season ......
