5/31 Houston 'Stros

[SoxHop]

How do they just look at the curve ball again and again without crushing it.......? Is it angle?

[illinoisredsox]

Good inning by Pomeranz there.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

He's best when he doesn't have time to think about making a play and he only has time to just react.

 

At the same time Devers has improved defensively, he's declined offensively. Hopefully, that will change.

[Natick to NC]

JD we need ya

[FredLynn]

Who wrote that the weakness of the Astros is their pen earlier?

 

Just looked it up...they are #1 in the league.

[Natick to NC]

.....do something Devers geeeeez

[Natick to NC]

That is Devers !!!!!

[d-money]

Not getting any offense at all from this lineup.

Oops. That was I. A Houston fan lied to me. We're doomed.

[Natick to NC]

So much for Pedroia actually being fully back huh ...guys had along damn time to heal .Time to move on from Pedroia and Brock .

Holt has been good enough.

[d-money]

Needed pom to keep this tied. Cora has to take him out of the rotation for now.

[TylerD]

How much longer we giving Poms he can’t seem to put it together. Has glimpses. But that’s it.

[Jasonbay44]

Move on from Brock? Lol what, he's been great this year. I swear some of you guys will eventually want Mookie, JD, and Kimbrel "gone". I know its hard to believe but we can't DFA everyone.

[SoxHop]

Clemens wears boots made of ostrich, who would have thought. What a dick..

Tonight really wasn't that bad; far better than recent outings. Correa hit the snot out of it but it isn't the first time he's done that and it won't be the last. The two runs in the 4th had a huge element of bad Sox luck or good Houston fortune in them.

Honestly comments like those I just ignore. Half the board wanted Kimbrel gone after his playoff performance against the World Series champs. Sometimes things are said that blow my mind.

Fair point. We are playing a red hot offense.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I remember the days when the manager had to tie Pedey up to get him off the field. Now he has to be tied up to get him on the field.

[jung]

This won't be a popular opinion. But if I had to guess, I would guess they are going to stick with Pom a bit longer. Somebody in that dugout challenged him to go back to his stock sequence and he did that, with limited success but he did it, showing the best FB he has shown in weeks. So my guess, having stuck with him this long and based on this performance he will get another start.

It's really just two nattering nabobs of negativism who simply aren't happy unless they aren't happy.

[d-money]

Can we get some damn offense?

[Slasher9]

Eff Clemens.

 

Pom got hurt by elevated off speed. But wasn’t a horrific outing. Need the O to bail him out

[StephenCurry30]

pomeranz allowed 8 base runners, 4 runs, including a homer in only 5 innings and this is being viewed as "improvements". this guy is complete toast out there. he has no confidence, he falls behind batters. velocity is down, control is in the shitter. we have two guys in Velazquez and wright who are clearly better and deserve a chance.

 

 

also for people saying leon sucks and want swihart, what the hell has swihart done to prove hes better than leon? hes trash

[illinoisredsox]

Well at least this inning gets Swihart out of the way. Not showing much tonight.

Who do you want to keep on this team?

[StephenCurry30]

lebron james is pretty good, Stephen curry is pretty good. jr smith is really f***ing stupid. pomeranz sucks.

 

just random thoughts.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Before this 4 game series started I told myself I'd be happy with a split. Right now, I'd be thrilled with a split.

[StephenCurry30]

unpopular opinion ; I like Clemens in the booth

[illinoisredsox]

Who do you want to keep on this team?

 

That's easy; Swihart will play all nine positions, like in that Bugs Bunny cartoon. They can DFA everyone else.
