7/31 vs Phillies

[jung]

Nice knowing ya' pom

[d-money]

pom has already dialed it up to 88......woo hoo

 

He needs to sit down.

[Carbo-Diem]

A Santana gift gets him through one.

[d-money]

Sooner or later the Phillies will hit that 88. I don’t know how he lost velocity. Is it the injury?

Whatever happens, Pom is done here. This is his last year under contract. Think the Sox are going to give him money pitching like this?

[vegasbob]

I think last time out, Pomeranz avoided problems in the first but they showed up by the 3rd as the LF seated patrons started noticing incoming.

[vegasbob]

moreland hitting .200 in last 55 AB's over last 30 days. Big slump, terrible AB vs Arrieta

[vegasbob]

Get that first run JDM, you may need 6 or 7 tonight

[vegasbob]

Not intentional but seeing Jake hit JDM with a 3-2 pitch doesn't make you feel good, watching Judge miss the next several weeks. Without JDM, not the same team

[vegasbob]

Kinsler asks Cora, "Are we running", Cora says " yeah, haven't you been watching how we run into outs over and over."

[Station 13]

Another dumb blunder.

[d-money]

If you keep falling behind the count you’re asking for trouble.

[vegasbob]

Another dumb blunder.

 

At the MLB level, that is a very basic defensive play, nothing to get too excited about by the fielders

[Station 13]

Pom is under 50% strikes.

[d-money]

Pom has s***** control. He’s afraid to put it over the middle.

[vegasbob]

If you keep falling behind the count you’re asking for trouble.

 

It makes the inevitable solo shot a 2 run homer

[vegasbob]

Glad the lazy jackass decided to back up the plate after the runner crossed so he could see it live.

[d-money]

This is almost like a throw away game with this guy pitching. He’s finished here.

[Carbo-Diem]

There we go! Who's up in the pen? I predicted he would be gone after five outs. Pom is trying to make me a prophet.

[d-money]

Hope we can get some runs off arrieta.

[Carbo-Diem]

I'm thinking EROD pitching with a boot would be more effective than this jackwagon.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Concerning POM, the good news is he's working faster; the bad news is that's all the good news I have.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Any pitch under 90mph should never be referred to as a fast ball. I'd refer to it as a half-fast ball.

[jung]

I am not defending Pom..whats there to defend. But you can see him struggling to stay on the mound when he knows he just does not have it. Not an enviable position to be in.

[d-money]

It’s painful watching him pitch. He can’t blow it past anyone. A 6’5 240 pounder throwing 88 miles per hour

[vegasbob]

Any pitch under 90mph should never be referred to as a fast ball. I'd refer to it as a half-fast ball.

 

Much agreed. If he could throw 90, I assume he would. Seen nothing to indicate he can do that or better. He's like watching grass grow, and is very likely to be DL'ed or DFA'ed with in the next few days.

[Station 13]

If we get a lead, take that ******* out the game.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If Sale is suffering from an inflamed shoulder, POM must be suffering from a missing shoulder.

[vegasbob]

I am not defending Pom..whats there to defend. But you can see him struggling to stay on the mound when he knows he just does not have it. Not an enviable position to be in.

 

Yes, he's either a guy with a "broken arm/shoulder" trying to give it his best, or he's not ready for prime time big pressure.

[Carbo-Diem]

Maybe the Sox can study Tampa and do that bullpen day thing they do so well. Use Pom for the first couple and move on from there.
