6/3 @Houston

[Sox75]

Swi looks to be FLAILING up there...

[Sox75]

Gotta find a Mark to deal this guy!

[SoxHop]

This guys junk is crazy. We were lucky to get two on him........this is going to be a tough game

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Sadly, the more Swi plays, the more his trade value goes down.

[Sox75]

His value plummets every time he's seen.

 

Please tell me a year in the minors he showed he could hit?

 

His best year was 2014 in Portland, and it was so so... so what...

[Station 13]

That's some nasty pitches by Morton.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Excuse me, but Morton was throwing 98 MPH on JDM for a guy that was low 90s previously, this is fishy.

 

Maybe he's been shopping with A-rod.

[vegasbob]

Changes the game and helps a lot when the bottom of the lineup doesn't go 3 for K's. Looks like Morton woke up.

And Sam Travis who could possibly be Swihart's replacement was hitting low .200's in Pawtucket before tthe call up.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I think it's Morton who gets 'assalted.'

 

This post probably won't happen. I just wanted to get Morton and salt in the same sentence.

[SoxHop]

Nothing you don't all know. But Porcello needs to be sharp tonight.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Another start where POR is giving up a lot of high grounders.

[vegasbob]

Maybe Rick could just walk the leadoff man next inning and save a base or 3. He did pitch his way out of the leadoff double though with no damage.

 

How do the Astros have a back up catcher hitting in the .280's with .315 over the last several games.? Our 3 combined , including Swihart aren't a cumulative .600

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

At what point in his life does A-rod's arms and legs fall off? Remember those old steroid warnings?

[jung]

Just stop ESPN. Just stop making believe you can or even should broadcast baseball.

[Sox75]

Before injury, Travis had a very good track record? Did he not?

 

What is Swi's track record in the box? Shyte.

[jung]

Oh my God..will this base running crap ever stop? That was awful. XB is LOOKING at the CFer and he decides to do that with a hot bat coming to the plate.

[Sox75]

ESPN BLOWS!

 

That out blew worse.

A Seattle Mariners forum has its own game thread for the Red Sox/Astros match-up:

More terrible base running. What a surprise. Ironsides could have made it to 3rd on that fly ball.

[vegasbob]

xander F bogaerts

[Station 13]

Stupid

[BOSOX11]

What a dumbass move by XB.

[jung]

Absolutely, but not after standing there admiring the play of the CFer for a half hour!

[vegasbob]

X single handedly erased his rare double.

[OH FOY]

Smart wins a lot of games, you can also flip it too, stupid losses a lot of games.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

No doubt about it. Bad base running is a major weakness on this team.

[OH FOY]

Ironsides, hahahaha

[Tedballgame]

Back to back bad plays by the Sox. Horrendous base running by Xander and a terrible error by Mitch. For a gold glover, that was a bad play.

[Tedballgame]

How was that not strike 3 on Springer?
