7/30 vs Phillies

[d-money]

Nola is probably the best pitcher the SOX have faced so far this year. His stats don't lie. He throws an easy 95mph.

 

Easy 95? I was looking at his graphs and it shows below 80. They have it wrong then.

[d-money]

Can’t count on david price. He has been hittable tonight.

[vegasbob]

Price is a s*** fielder

[Sox75]

ha!

[jung]

That was the best baseball play by the Sox infield this year.

[vegasbob]

Screwed the Phillies as they run like the Red Sox on occassion

[d-money]

Very fortunate.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

OK, I saw Larry and Moe in that base running, but where the hell was Curly?

[Sox75]

our baserunning has settled down.

 

I almost thought that was the Sox runners for a split second.

[a700hitter]

Farrell must be the Phillies base running coach.

[Emp9]

Wow! Never expected 2 on that run down

[jung]

Imagine how many guys would have just thrown home instead of running at the baserunner.

[FredLynn]

By Nunez no less....

[Station 13]

Price needs to stop throwing s*** down middle in. While the other dickhead wouldn't dare to throw inside.

[fxkatt]

Nellie Fox, Rod Carew, Ty Cobb, Hunter Pence, Joey Votto, Barry Bonds----and yes Bucky Dent all were or are choke-up hitters. There were many more in bygone days but there are a few today who occasionally do and Pence and Votto often do.

 

Maybe this is what we need tonight.

[Station 13]

What was that, Nunez?

[Station 13]

OMG Leon is slow

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Speed kills!

[vegasbob]

Leon smokes a bullet but hustles his way on base.

[jung]

No idea how you hit that pitch.

[vegasbob]

No idea how you hit that pitch.

 

Neither did Mookie

[d-money]

Our offense looks like s*** thus far against this guy.

[d-money]

No idea how you hit that pitch.

 

We likely might see this type of pitching in the playoffs. Sooner or later gotta find a way and hit tough pitching.

[Station 13]

Where is the aggressive hitting Betts lately? Watch a couple of sucker pitches down the pipe for strikes.

[vegasbob]

Price is a s*** fielder

 

No, Price is a great fielder with instant reflexes.

[d-money]

Well price keeping us in the game thus far.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nunez is much better defensively at 3rd.

[vegasbob]

Saw that, one breaking ball, followed by a medium FB down the pipe. Maybe not familiar with Nola and was guessing too much

I agree that we will see consistently better pitching in the post season than we ever were going to see in this particular regular season. Nola is kinda' unique though. That Slurve is not something you see too often. Nola is just showing the FB. He has not even thrown that for strikes at 93+ and he isn't throwing his Change that much YET. If his Change is even decent ....good night. We have to hope that Slurve flattens out. We are not going to hit it if he keeps throwing it like that.

[FredLynn]

Yankees just got Lance Lynn....there are there two needed SPs.

Unfortunately for the Yankees Lynn has an ERA over 5 this year with a WHIP of over 1.6.
