8/7 @ Jays

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The best way to make a BP better is to use them less. Unfortunately, with pitch counts now the deciding factor of how long a starter can go, the BP is now an overused fact of life.

[iortiz]

How the hell did you guys make over 500 posts?

 

It's not even the playoffs!

 

One of the weirdest games of the season compadre. Did you watch it?

[moonslav59]

Moon, I watched the game. POM looked terrible and pitched only 4.2 innings. If you want to test a team's BP, just have all the starters go 4.2 innings. POM doesn't deserve another start once Sale returns. I'm sure DD will want POM to start again because of all the money invested in him. I'd prefer he was put on waivers and see if someone is dumb enough to bite.

 

Maybe we can trade him and 90% of his salary for Espinoza.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I don't believe any team in MLB has a great BP. It's more like some teams have a less worse BP than others.

I'm thinking John Henry is getting sick of eating salaries, but, what the hell, he's rich and he can always raise ticket prices.

Susan waldman is talking about “nice long strokes” now.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Btw, do you realize how boring baseball games would be w/o relief pitchers?

She's a hottie.

[iortiz]

Remember, I wanted the Yanks to get the bum.... not us.

 

LOL! Well played.

 

BTW they are already in the 12th.The 25th is getting closer moon jajaja

[Emp9]

She's a hottie.

 

Lol

Face for radio

Sonny Gray is in.

 

Time for the sun to set on NY's hopes.

Definitely the weirdest game since Sunday night.

Gray is about to collapse LOL!

[Station 13]

80 wins

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If Gray blows this one, he'll be moved to under the BP.

Definitely the weirdest game since Sunday night.

 

... and out there are many.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

80 wins

 

Damn, let me get my glasses.

[Emp9]

80 wins

 

It’s official: Red Sox don’t lose that much

[Emp9]

I can just hear Cashman after this Chisox game “ You wonder what their record would be if they weren’t playing us. Because when we go head to head, we do some damage... “

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It’s official: Red Sox don’t lose that much

 

The SOX are playing .737 at home and .667 on the road. Remember the old cliche win at home and play .500 on the road?

Yeah. Their next loss, I may call the league and ask for conformation.

[moonslav59]

Yanks win but burn their pen... again.

[Fan_since_Boggs]

The White Sox are awful -- their hitters don't have a clue, no plan, no approach, they just close their eyes and swing away. Moncada can't lay off pitches out of the zone. He is good enough to avoid being a bust, but it looks like he will never be a star either.

 

Where is the get Pomeranz out of the rotation debate? Or perhaps that discussion will take off again after Brian Johnson's start. Pomeranz's peripherals are so unacceptable--4.2 IP, 1 K, and 5 walks. The dude is going to wear out the bullpen.

[Bellhorn04]

Thunder Magic rolls on. He's even winning the ugly ones.

[mvp 78]

No win is ugly.

[Slasher9]

hahaha. i was about to post something similar.

[Thunder]

I went to bed after the 7th (not because I didn't believe but because my new job with UConn football requires me to wake up early). I have just one question: How in the world did we win this game?

 

Seems like Stroman's blister was the turning point.

You got it. Stroman's blister was the turning point. Once he was out of the game that same team that played against the Yankees showed up and things went rapidly downhill for the Jays after that. Everyone contributed offensively and the pen staggered to the win.

It almost seems like the more we win, Pom earns another start. A few losses could do the trick, but I’m not sure this team is capable.
