8/8 @ Jays

[Thunder]

Just a casual 4 run lead. That's what we do now.

[Bellhorn04]

Johnson had the Jays fishing big time that inning.

[Thunder]

I see we have a good Brian Johnson tonight. Everybody loves a good BJ

[d-money]

Really like Johnson. Has good control.

[jung]

I actually think Porcello has gotten DJ to speed up. He is just about moving along as fast as he can with a runner on and is downright catch it and throw it again with nobody on.

[vegasbob]

Jays not missing Pearce when Smoak smokes Boston as is happening often

[Carbo-Diem]

If you listen carefully, you can hear the equipment manager packing the personal effects of one Drew Pomeranz.

[d-money]

Bad location on that one pitch by Johnson.

[vegasbob]

HP umpiring, an inconsistent truth. Stuff is whatever the ump thinks it is. Get some, lose some

[d-money]

Nice going BJ!!! Would love 6 innings or more. Who knows.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

When it comes to the Jays, there's a lot of Smoak, but not much fire.

There is a Pillar of truth to that, Mor-a-les

Definitely some interesting ball and strike calls so far in this one.

To look at the obvious stats, there is little comparison between Johnson and Pomeranz:

Johnson IP's 69 ER's allowed 27 ERA 3.52 K's 64 BBs 22 WHIP 1.42 BAA .269 HR's 9

 

Pomeranz 51 " " 36 "" 6.31 K's 44 BBs 32 WHIP 1.81 BAA .299 HR's 10

 

Draw your own conclusions about who has the ability to get it done with their skill level

[vegasbob]

Johnson needs this inning to get in line for a win that will even up his record at 3-3. Like to see a full six if he can get it. Then the bullpen denizens start their parade again.

White Sox score two runs in the first over NYY. Should have scored them in 13th last night

[d-money]

Come on BJ!!!

I would take Johnson in a heartbeat. He works fast. Not afraid to throw strikes.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice play by Nunez. Dever's glove is fine; his arm, not so much.

[vegasbob]

Another twist on this season is that the Red Sox lead MLB in wins with 5 LH'ers who have started multiple games. That's not typical for a Fenway based team.

[TylerD]

Devers making some noise!!!!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Devers with a beautiful swing.

The white sux are a pathetic team. One of the worse offenses in baseball. Skankees will sweep that series. I think the rangers can give the skankees a series coming up.

[d-money]

Save some of those runs tomorrow. Would love the sweep.

[d-money]

One more BJ! I want one more BJ!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If there's such a thing as a perfect swing, Beni has it.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Did Johnson come up thru the SOX organization?

[Slasher9]

We should trade for this Johnson guy...

[d-money]

Did Johnson come up thru the SOX organization?

 

Yes he was drafted by us. At first he was drafted by the dodgers but decided to attend Florida.

[Bellhorn04]

Did Johnson come up thru the SOX organization?

 

Yes, believe it or not.
