8/18 vs Rays

[d-money]

Haven’t done much offensively ever since.

[vegasbob]

Seems like when the Sox get up early like tonight, the hitters just say get me done and out of here. Tonight should be a win but it's not a playoff level opponent nor a playoff level effort. all around. So take the win the Rays are offering you have and move to tomorrow.

[jung]

I don't think Cora can let this go much farther the way Price has been throwing since the 5th

[d-money]

Geez price. Try not giving it back now.

[harmony]

1 hit since the first inning

The Rays can look forward to five more years of Tyler Glasnow, who turns 25 years old in five days.

[jung]

Rays are a terrible ball team. 6K's looking??? You can't be serious.

[Slasher9]

Nice start by price.

[d-money]

Well gutsy performance from price. You take 7 innings of 2 run ball any day of the week.

Price gets lots of 3rd strike calls, especially when he was younger.

Well they seemed to have gotten the better end of that deal. Not much a fan of archer.

[OH FOY]

5 runs on 3 hits amazing.

And six years of 23-year-old outfielder Austin Meadows probably headlined that trade.

Prior to the Kinsler-Holt run-outs in the first, if you had said Glasnow would be pitching in the 7th, allowing only 1 run over the ensuing 5 innings, I would have said you were a Yankee hopeful. Nice recovery by Glasnow against an unmotivated bunch tonight

[OH FOY]

This game not over yet. It seems stupidity in a game will haunt you.

[Station 13]

Great start by Price again. This rotation pitches deep into games.

[vegasbob]

Working on #88, while no other team could reach 80 until mid-week. Pretty amazing, but go ahead and finish this one off first

[jung]

So this is a good test for Brasier and I am sure Cora knows it. He pitched last night. Hembree has been up twice tonight, pitched last night and Cora did not bring him in. Do you have a resilient arm Mr Brasier.

[Station 13]

Not a defensive night for Xander

[jung]

Is that the NY make up call for the season?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

SOX caught a break there. Bogie made that closer than it should have been.

[jung]

Good job Mr Brasier.

[Slasher9]

Hope kinsler and moreland enjoyed standing there and watching

[vegasbob]

Brasier keeps adding zeroes to his growing pile of work. But is the head tilt voluntary or a bad neck ? At least the hat is on straight.

[oldtimer]

Good job Mr Brasier.

 

Seems like Mr. Brasier always does a good job.

[jung]

Seems like Mr. Brasier always does a good job.

 

But only his 17th ML appearance of the year which is why Cora has got to see if he can handle back to back appearances and even back to back to back.

Seems like Mr. Brasier always does a good job.

 

And notice he throws hard strikes challenging the hitters to get a bat on it. The other BP'ers should take note. About a 9 pitch inning.

[vegasbob]

Bogaerts through Bradley combine for an 0-14 . Even when Mitch hits to the left side of infield it always seems to be at the only guy over there.

Something about the Rays pitching staff. Lots of 0 fors in the lineup. Beni got 2 of the 5 and JDM got the home run with a double by Moreland. If it wasn't for early wildness this might have been a very close game.

[Station 13]

Why are people wearing light coats?

[vegasbob]

Kimbrel has been throwing more FB's to set up the sharp curve, which seems to work better than the opposite

 

11 pitches. much better
