7/30 vs Phillies

[SoxHop]

Good win considering whose pitching tomorrow. Don’t know why Johnson’s not going tomorrow.

 

You are a real life Eeyore, I don't think I could invent someone like you.

[dannycater]

I remember all we did was bitch back in those days. We had no choice.

[dannycater]

JimyWocky was benching Bichette after he went 4-for-4...that was when the team had virtually no depth and still Jimy couldn't figure out who to play.

[Jasonbay44]

Hector Velazquez is now 7-0

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Also, another great job by MVP78.

[dannycater]

The pitching on this team has been nothing short of brilliant...Kelly even had a good inning for a change.

[dannycater]

Can't find a better baserunning Sox team in my opinion. They really know how to steal, hit and run occasionally, and they gallop on any extra base hit. Sox runners are just fast.

Lmao

[dannycater]

The power is ridiculous since Cora threw out the old playbook and said let's swing away at first pitches. Let's try to barrel up as often as possible and in any situation.

[dannycater]

All I can say is that hopefully the big guys can keep hitting in the postseason and the starting pitching can at least do better than last year. It's hard to win a World Series, period. But this team has virtually every tool to do so. Especially with Eavoldi in rotation.

[dannycater]

I'm sure people were going nuts over some of the injuries and the Hanram release, but frankly everything worked out. Pedroia out, no problem. Wright, Pomeranz injured..no problem. Keep 100 hitting Swihart and allow JBJR to go through his annual 2-month slump..no problem.

[SoxHop]

Just need Kelly to come back, and Thornburg to keep on keeping on. Along with the dynamic duo of Hembree the firefighter and Barnes the bad ass. I like this pen.

[illinoisredsox]

Where all the white women at?

 

Talk about a film that couldn’t be made today

[Sox75]

+ Ian Kinsler

[dannycater]

illinois, there are so many movies even from the 90s you couldn't even attempt to make today. It's just out of hand now. That's why they do Marvel and Horror. It's like what else can you do? Humor is gone.

[dannycater]

Ian loves Fenway

My boy Danny knows, great post.

I just don’t think pomeranz can turn it around. The guy has lost his velocity.

[Spudboy]

I agree.

[a700hitter]

Young team in the the worst division in the NL. I'm not shocked that they are at the top of the division due to their talent alone. Kapler made a TON of boneheaded moves early on.

Kapler made a TON of "Informed" boneheaded moves early on.

[a700hitter]

Haters just keep hating Nunez. Overall no hero, but got it done there and in the field earlier

And he is hitting his stride at the plate recently. He has looked good on the bases with his triple and his stolen base. i was worried about him the other night when he was flexing his knee a lot, but he seems to have shaken that off.

[a700hitter]

The Sox did develop a starter with even better talent, then after a few years of success they traded him to the Cubs.

Ouch!

[a700hitter]

Swihart is making Cora look like a genius for keeping him on the roster.

[Maxbialystock]

Great, great win against a superb Phillies starter. Price really came thru--8 innings, 1 run. And the bullpen. And of course Swihart. Top 5 in the Sox lineup were hitless and scoreless. It happens.

 

Well done, David Price.

 

MVP78 on a roll.

[OH FOY]

Have Leon Catching Price too full time.

This year 1.80 era with Leon

4.68 with Vazquez

Career

2.89 era Leon

4.32 era Vazquez

Question is...is it Price or bad game calling?

Edited July 31, 2018 by OH FOY!

[Spudboy]

Ouch!

 

Well he was actually traded to the As.

[OH FOY]

Wonder what our team ERA is since Leon has taken over full time duties? Best I can do is Post All Start break, since CV got hurt July 7.

Best in the Majors at 2.32 ERA just too short of a sample size. Need more time for this.

[Station 13]

75 wins and we yet to play any winners according to MFY fans.

[dannycater]

Foy!!!!! Yesssssssssssssssssssss get in there (ode to billybluejay). long time, my man.

[dannycater]

Joe F, I'm not a Vasquez fan either. It's interesting that the pitching has been very good in his absence with all 3 big name SPs really pitching well. Leon has done a great job with the staff, and how bout that out stealing play where he had so little time to get runner with a big jump. He has sneaky fast release
