7/26 Minnesota Twins @ Fenway

[Maxbialystock]

Gibson, righty vs. Johnson, lefty

 

I'm giving the edge to Johnson because the sonofagun is a pitcher (vice thrower) and even though the Twins have won 3 straight on the road vs. Toronto. Sox might be a little tired because of the holdup in Baltimore which Cora has commented on. KC at Yankee Stadium tonight, Junis vs. Gray. Yankees and Royals both 5-5 in their last 10 games.

 

It's a bitter pill for us fans to swallow, what with DD rashly picking up some guy named Eovaldi and dispensing with the estimable services of Pomeranz. Am I the only one to notice that Pom and Kimbrel both have those big knuckle curves and blazing fast balls?

Sorry about the title, but I can't seem to fix it. July 16 was the home run contest at Nationals Park. An omen?

First a rain out, now this? What happened to your mojo dude?

At least max put the thread in the game section unlike some people.

How's the weather in Boston? My NOAA map says the stuff that caused delays in Baltimore has moved north and east.

[Spudboy]

It is pouring rain 35 miles south west of Fenway.

Seems like we always have a tough time with the twinkies compared to the skankees who beat on them everytime. A split would be ok but i would love 3 out of 4.

We should be able to win at least 3 out of 4. Though nothing is guaranteed, I will be disappointed with less than that.

 

Get it done boys!

[Station 13]

Looks clear in Boston now

K. Gibson has given up 102 hits in 120 IP. At the same time he has also given up 48 BB. His ERA is a respectable 3.57.

He’s a decent pitcher whose capable of shutting a lineup.

[d-money]

Come on Johnson. We need a well pitch game.

[d-money]

Well Johnson has looked hittable thus far

[bmattioli]

Not an easy team. Could be a long weekend..

[Jasonbay44]

JBJ has a cannon

[Station 13]

His curveball is getting hit, which is a bad sign for Johnson.

[d-money]

Not an easy team. Could be a long weekend..

 

Against us they look like world beaters but not against the skanks.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Great throw by JBJ. That defensive play was equivalent to JBJ hitting a solo HR.

[d-money]

Johnson looks terrible early. Dude throw strikes

[Jasonbay44]

Johnson looks really bad..

[Jasonbay44]

3 hits and a walk, but no runs...

[d-money]

Thank goodness. Hope he settled down. Scoring early would be nice.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

22 pitches, most under stress, doesn't equate to a long outing for Brian. He'll definitely need an easy 2nd.

[d-money]

Skanks will feast on the royals this weekend.

[mvp 78]

Maybe Pom is better than Johnson?

[Station 13]

Devers needs shock therapy.

[d-money]

Nice. Already leaving men on base.
