Pepe LeBlanc making the SOX stink like skunks tonight.

[illinoisredsox]

Living on the outside corners.

 

If he's going to be out there, they've got to think opposite field. That's how they got to Paxton last night (though the Mariners helped out in the field as well).

[Station 13]

C'mon hitters, adjust and hit the ball where it's pitch.

[SoxHop]

BLacked out on MLB.tv streaming.......... crikey...... bollocks

[d-money]

Can this team score one run?

[Station 13]

From the reaction, fans think that was hard hit. It was a soft liner.

[illinoisredsox]

Bogaerts if you run through the bag you may have beaten that.

Yep. I'm thinking the shortstop gets it if LeBlanc doesn't.

Sliding into 1st is a reflection of a lack of base running intelligence. Edited June 17, 2018 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

I don't get why Xander keeps sliding into first, it is not a smart baseball play. Also, Dee Gordon has been ridiculous in this series defensively. He's robbed at least 5 hits.

[jung]

That is twice in the last week that XB has used the slide at First. Can we stop now XB or will this be one of those deals where 50 slides later you are safe and decide that justifies it.

[Station 13]

Xander was safe.

Sliding into 1st is a reflection of lack of base running intelligence.

 

And years and years of data and research and coaching not to........... I have no idea why people still do it. Blows my mind.

[OH FOY]

Well get this guy.

[illinoisredsox]

Sliding into 1st is a reflection of lack of base running intelligence.

 

I don't care if it gets you there quicker or not (I don't think it does); the risk of an injury to a hand or finger is too great.

 

The ONLY time you do it is to avoid a tag on a throw up the first base line and you want to get under it (and then you aren't worried about getting to the base quicker).

[illinoisredsox]

Xander was safe.

 

I didn't think so, and there wasn't enough to overturn it anyway.

[OH FOY]

Come on Wright pick up Raffy.

No player liked to slide more than Ty Cobb and he never slid into 1st base. It's also a good way to injure a hand. Right, Pedey?

[d-money]

What a f***ing s***** game.

[OH FOY]

Lets go Boys, lets get out of this inning.

Cobb slid feet first with spikes high.

Was going to say. The largest offender I can remember was Pedey.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Cobb slid feet first with spikes high.

 

Ty couldn't play today with these new Nancy rules.

[OH FOY]

Good Job Boys!!

[OH FOY]

Get that Bullpen ready Seattle.

[jung]

Terrific throw Vaz. Maybe that picks this team up. Something has to.

[SoxHop]

Eat that Gordon

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Was going to say. The largest offender I can remember was Pedey.

 

 

One would think that Pedey would harp at Bogey not to slide into 1st.

[OH FOY]

Come on CV!!!! Get it going!!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It's obvious Holt couldn't have done better tonight than Nunez or Swihart.
