7/11 Texas Rangers at Fenway

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

And impressively, Hembree tried blowing the game in that one inning!

 

That's why it's really important that E-rod pitches more 6 innings starts, because, as we all know, the less BP the better.

[Spudboy]

This was very good.^

 

Indeed.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I've come up with a new nickname for Kimbrel. Because he's going with that Norse look, I've researched a name and from this day forward he will be, wait for it, Geirmund Thunder.

[Tedballgame]

the man is a straight killer!!!!!! Unreal season he is having again!

: And yet there are still people on this board blasting DD for the prospects he traded for Kimbrel. Idiots.

I only need approval from Spudboy to make this official.

You have my approval.

 

Although it is a lot to type.

Ah, just call him Thunder.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Lmao post of the year

 

Stephen Colbert would be very impressed.

Probably the same ones who blasted him for the prospects he traded for Sale.

Another great win.

 

Bogey's gonna be over .900 soon.

Rehabbing at the University of Phoenix

 

Great take !

[Youk Of The Nation]

I'm ashamed to admit that I don't get it. I'm missing the joke here.

[Jasonbay44]

University of Phoenix is an online college lol.

University of Phoenix is an online college lol.

 

And for extra points there's that rising from the ashes thing.

Just read the game thread and yup MVP's comment goes down as a beaut! Good entertainment. I now can see why fewer and fewer people tune in for the game threads. (not really - lol) Reads to me like a pretty good time if your spine is reasonably straight. Great job!!!

A win that's also a reminder: even with Sale on the mound and pitching shut out ball for 7 innings, it can be a close game if the other pitcher is effective. The Sox have averaged over 7 runs per game in these 9 games, but also scored just 3 in one game (3-0) and 4 in two others (4-3 and 4-2). 6 of the 9 games were on the road. Now 4 more at home vs. the Jays, an almost .500 club against whom the Sox are 7-2 this year so far. Then the 4 day break for the ASG.

[OH FOY]

Reading Sean McAdam he asked about Sale's next start, and Cora hinted that he will Pitch him last game against Detroit after All-Star Break. THIS is SMART!!

He'll get 10 days rest, and essentially miss 2 starts, and shouldn't hurt the Sox going forward.

Now were starting to think.

Except for the 2 innings in the all star game. I would be very much OK if he had a sick grandmother in DR that he had to visit instead of going to DC.....

[OH FOY]

Be like a BP session, no problem.

@PeteAbe

 

Per @NESN: Wednesday’s #RedSox game had an 8.7 household rating in the Boston DMA. That's second only to the April 10 Yankees game that did a 9.1.

 

People really enjoying Sale day!
