June 11 - Red Sox @ Orioles

[FredLynn]

Strange at bat by Moreland. Been a lot of strange at bats of late.

 

The fifth pitch was right down the middle. Moreland should have swung at that.

That came from the bench. That was a full on take by Mitch on that pitch and frankly that is ridiculous.

[d-money]

Brutal!!! Just brutal

Yup!

[a700hitter]

I like Moreland as a player but I said this last year, if he is your cleanup hitter, your lineup stinks.

Agreed.

[Jasonbay44]

I don't think I've ever seen a player as bad as Chris Davis is right now.

Have you been watching JBJ this year?

[Station 13]

Maybe time to shake up the lineup, Cora???

[jung]

And they wonder why attendance and rating are flagging. How much of this crap do they expect people to watch?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nothing gives a batter more confidence than when the manager signals him not to swing at a 3-1 fastball. Anyone who thinks Farrell is gone, think again.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Have you been watching JBJ this year?

 

Ouch!

[Jasonbay44]

Have you been watching JBJ this year?

JBJ at least plays defense. Davis is literally on pace to have worst season in MLB history.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Can you imagine if this was O's Talk?

Well I remember Bob Uecker (or was it Joe Garagiola?) saying their manager used to give them the take sign on 3-2

[Jasonbay44]

Demanding a player to take 3-1 is just dumb. Moreland is smart enough to know the strike zone, he should have a general idea of what to look for and swing at. I don't get why they would "demand" he take.

 

Also, dominant inning by Hembree.

That's funny. I wonder if they were batting clean-up at the time?

[d-money]

They better not blow this s*** now. Get that run home!!

[DontCallMeUncleRico]

Well that was disrespectful.

[Jasonbay44]

Good s*** Devers... I am really not confident we'll score here though with who is coming up.

[moonslav59]

Devers!

[DontCallMeUncleRico]

How bad is the line-up when he's batting 3rd.

 

He's more like a 5-6 hitter to me.

[moonslav59]

Good s*** Devers... I am really not confident we'll score here though with who is coming up.

 

No Betts in the 1 slot anymore.

[a700hitter]

Bases loaded no one out and Holt batting.

[Sox75]

Here we go!

[a700hitter]

Just drive the ball somewhere. The dead zone is up next.

[moonslav59]

holt!!!!!!

[a700hitter]

Holt got it done!

[Sox75]

Holt on! He did his job!

[SoxHop]

Finally.
