June 11 - Red Sox @ Orioles

[FredLynn]

Why the hell is Nunez playing?

 

Because Holt is tired?

Because Holt is tired?

 

Maybe it was Holt's scheduled day of rest.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Betts is in a three-way tie for first in runs scored with Albies and Trout, who have played 65 and 66 games respectively. Mookie has played 48.

[FredLynn]

How much more patience are they going to have with Bradley. He has already shown/proven that he cannot hit. There has to be a better choice.

He's like a pitcher out there but pitcher impacts the game with every pitch. All Bradley contributes is the occasional exciting catch.

[TylerD]

Wright looking damn good tonight. Gonna miss the rest of the game as I have disc agility tonight. May my suckage tonight not be contagious to the Sox

[FredLynn]

Nicely done by Devers....

[vegasbob]

props to Devers for a good play and throw to end the inning, saving the run. He deserves that credit. Now to see if the heart of the lineup can do anything except make outs swinging at air. the White Sox induced slump continues through the first three in Camden Yards

[Maxbialystock]

Really stupid announcers for the Orioles.

I think they are stuck for awhile and JBJr would have to be part of a bigger 2 for 1 or 3-2 package . Despite his defense you cannot carry an OF'er at .200 or less who shows no real progress over 3 years, plus .200 at catcher and a low average at 3rd. Too much dead weight right now.

[FredLynn]

Seems its not the WS pitching that was responsible for the team slump....its just a slump against everybody.

Devers has made buckets of progress in the field from where he was at the start of the season when he was just a mass of bad habits. The only way to make that much progress in that many fielding areas that quickly is to be talented, hard working and willing to take instruction unlike somebody else we know. Really bodes well for his future. Probably suggests he will become a more consistent and better hitter as well. Edited June 12, 2018 by jung

He needs to remain an habitual fielder and keep playing like those two grounders. It was always the arm to me that was questionable for accuracy but that has come around too.

[FredLynn]

LMAO....missed it by four inches

[FredLynn]

Makeup call on strike three...or should I say strike four.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Schoop makes a stupid play to put Bogie in scoring position, but, of course, he didn't score.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The bottom of this SOX line-up is like a basement having a cellar.

[bmattioli]

I can see good teams shutting down the offense but these teams?? WTF..

[vegasbob]

That's because Vazquez may have fooled the umpire to get another chance but he cannot resist the slow breaking ball down and outside. he is a pitiful hitter. Nunez looked about as sick, Bogie advanced on his own skills

[Station 13]

How does Devers continues to whif on 90 s*** down the middle.

[vegasbob]

63 pitches to get 5 shutout innings for Wright. Nothing more he do than that and nothing his hitters can do with anything from the second worst pitching team in MLB, although Bundy is the best of the bunch, so that must be it.

[FredLynn]

On a 3-1 count Bradley goes for the downs on a pitch on the outside corner.

[illinoisredsox]

Unfortunately, this has all the makings of a Davis or Mancini running into one for a homer to win it for the Birds.

[FredLynn]

Gotta say, I don't like the way this game is going. We are making Bundy, who is horrible, look like Cy Young out there.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice grab by JBJ.

[d-money]

He can look great at times but after losing a series to the lousy White Sox i am not shock. This team’s sucking dick right now.

Horrible? You must be thinking of his brother Al.

Bundy isn't horrible. Looking at his game logs for this year, he's given up 40 runs (34 earned) in 12 starts. 22 (19) of those were in 3 games in late April/early May. Otherwise he's been more than decent (2.02 ERA in his other 9 starts).

 

Tonight seems like another game where the opposing pitcher is throwing pretty well and the Sox slumping as a unit, with both being contributing factors.

[Maxbialystock]

Sorry gang, but I just don't see what all the whiners see. Sox hit Bundy early, but mostly right at someone. Now he is pitching well even though it's basically the slider (which can break sharply but not always) and the fast ball. Occasional changeup. Wright is matching him with the knuckler and occasional curve and fast ball.

 

Very exciting game to watch. I'm glad our starter is having a great night and our defense is also good when our guys can't seem to score. Interesting that right now we have 3 singles--all by the 2 of the 3 youngest guys on the team. But others have hit the ball hard for outs.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

My magic 8 ball just informed me that JBJ will be hitting a dinger his next at bat.
