June 11 - Red Sox @ Orioles

[illinoisredsox]

I'd like to see Bogaerts try and take 2nd here. May not work but you have to be a little aggressive in a game like this.

[illinoisredsox]

Did Devers just foul that off the bounce?

[illinoisredsox]

Devers would do well to cut the swing down a little on 2 strikes and just try for the single.

[jung]

Did Devers just foul that off the bounce?

 

No, but he was darned close to it. That is one thing....He is going to have to get a little more selective at the plate. He swings at stuff that Yogi would not swing at and if Yogi would not swing at it, thats saying something.

[illinoisredsox]

Vlad Guerrero he's not.

[Station 13]

I miss Holt. You can't play Devers, Nunez, Vazquez, Bradley all at once. They have no judgement of the strikezone.

Hah. Talksox would disapprove vehemently. Our rule is "take no chances on the basepaths. Be cautious. No extra bases if there is the remotest chance you won't make it. We must eliminate wasted outs at all costs."

[DontCallMeUncleRico]

Well you got Jim Palmer saying Devers is over swinging. Thing is, isn't anybody on the red sox coaching staff telling him this? I'd like to think so.

[Maxbialystock]

I miss Holt. You can't play Devers, Nunez, Vazquez, Bradley all at once. They have no judgement of the strikezone.

 

Well they are in good company tonight. I've seen no hits from Betts, JDM, or Moreland. Or did I miss one? Did you see some hits by those three?

 

Is it remotely possible--and this is a stretch--that Bundy is pitching effectively? Nah. Couldn't be.

[jung]

Devers is pretty funny to watch at the plate. If its actually a decent pitch to hit, he is out of his shoes, laces busted, belt flying off his waist..the whole nine. Then there are these awful pitches that he just can't resist that he probably would undress himself swinging at if he could. But the pitches are so bad he just can't. Ah to be young again!

[Maxbialystock]

I miss Holt. You can't play Devers, Nunez, Vazquez, Bradley all at once. They have no judgement of the strikezone.

 

Yup. You nailed it. Holt would have been the difference maker tonight and fixed the hitlessness of Betts, JDM, and Moreland. Cora is such an idiot.

[DontCallMeUncleRico]

quality start for Wright. Can't help the fact that the RS are trotting out little league hitters.

[FredLynn]

Well you got Jim Palmer saying Devers is over swinging. Thing is, isn't anybody on the red sox coaching staff telling him this? I'd like to think so.

 

Both him and Bradley. With two strikes they need to shorten their swing.

Meanwhile, this is the game right here. Kelly gets Jones or we are in a lot of trouble.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

s***. The SOX give Wright zero runs and he still can't win.

[illinoisredsox]

Hope Kelly had enough time to get fully ready; Jones has always been tough on the Sox.

[jung]

This a bad bad place to see Jones. If he gets motivated around getting a hit he is very hard to turn into an out.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Great performance by Wright. He, like Sale, deserved better.

[jung]

Great job Joe.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Kelly!

[FredLynn]

Yup. You nailed it. Holt would have been the difference maker tonight and fixed the hitlessness of Betts, JDM, and Moreland. Cora is such an idiot.

 

Nope. But Holt should have played instead of Nunez v the RHP. Thats a no brainer.

[illinoisredsox]

Was very nervous there when OB said Jones was 0-16 lifetime against Kelly; the announcers curse and the fact that Jones is a good hitter.

[Maxbialystock]

Like I said, one very exciting game. Kelly comes in with the bases loaded and wham, gets the 3d out on a K.

[illinoisredsox]

Nope. But Holt should have played instead of Nunez v the RHP. Thats a no brainer.

 

Weird part is Holt has really good numbers against Bundy (something like 6-11) while Nunex came in 1-5. But maybe Holt is under the weather or something. We don't always hear about those things.

 

Machado apprently isn't playing due to some ailment.

[Jasonbay44]

Great move by Cora to go to Kelly there. Wright wasn't necessarily losing it, two of those base runners were on fluke plays, but Jones for whatever reason hits the knuckleball well. Kelly made him look hopeless.

 

Another fantastic outing by Wright.

[Station 13]

Take your bases man.

[FredLynn]

Bradley up....next man please. Its hard to win with him, Vasquez, and Devers out there.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Magic 8 ball is on the fritz. From 6-9 I've seen better line-ups on Dragnet.

[d-money]

The bottom of this lineup sucks donkey balls.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Great move by Cora to go to Kelly there. Wright wasn't necessarily losing it, two of those base runners were on fluke plays, but Jones for whatever reason hits the knuckleball well. Kelly made him look hopeless.

Going to Kelly has been a great move most of the season.

[Station 13]

Rusty Mookie still manage to hit nearly another out.
