8/19 Devil Rays

[d-money]

Come on Velazquez.

[d-money]

Need to get some offense going.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice 4 innings by LAZ.

Regardless of today's outcome which will be a win, the 4 games with the Guardians will be a test against a "for sure" playoff team. The Sox prevailed very nicely against the Yankees in a 4 game sweep , so can they repeat it ? Not if they hit like these last 13 innings vs. the Rays

Yup, 1978 never happened. It was an illusion.

On August 19, 1978, the Red Sox were up 7 games in the loss column and anf they played to a tie at the end of game 162. The Sox are up 10 in the loss column, so the Yankees are dead.

[vegasbob]

Anybody know if they are really getting Judge back or is he done for the year?

 

I would expect him back but it will likely be September as the dumbass FO in NY should have recognized when he got injured.

JDM helping Beeks with his development

[vegasbob]

Messed up inning-- 2 walks, a single and no runs. Martinez should have walked as well.

[d-money]

Squandering opportunities. Can’t get the big hit. Nice.

Boy Workman just never looked like he improved from early in his career. Does not even look like the same pitcher.

Can’t forget 2011 and that was for the wildcard. I don’t take anything for granted with this team.

[d-money]

Can we get a damn run? Let’s go!!!!

[jung]

Funny how things go. All the noise is pitchers throwing 98 and they are all throwing some sort of hook or change all over the place

[vegasbob]

Rays making the mistake of letting the Red Sox hang around but with Jalen Beeks on the mound, the guys are helpless

[d-money]

Not looking good. Need to keep this at 1 run.

[Carbo-Diem]

I love this Cy Beeks kid!

[jung]

Why does NESN keep doing this hot and cold thing with one Sox player and one opponent. Why do I give a flying f*** that some guy is going through a s*** period of the season for the opponent. Show me who I might have to worry about in this series not some guy with a hole in his bat!

[vegasbob]

Workman throws 12 pitches to get through 2 innings ?? He didn't get the memo regarding the 20 pitch minimum.

[vegasbob]

I love this Cy Beeks kid!

 

Why can't the Sox draft and develop guys like him, instead of acquiring Pomeranz types ??

Can we score already? Already bottom of the 6th.

I thought the booth crew probably wanted to take their Beeks comments back as soon as they left their mouths.

[jung]

Geez where did the Rays get THAT kid from?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Thank goodness Cash took Beeks out of there.

[vegasbob]

Sox will regret letting this one go if they don't wake up. Laz and Workman give them a prime chance but they are sleepwalking. Beeks shows them up at Fenway

[S5Dewey]

This pitching change can't be bad news. So far the Rays have trotted out two guys who could do the job. Maybe this one won't be able to.

[jung]

Sucre has been funny behind the plate today. Very animated and snarly at his pitchers.

[vegasbob]

Pearce hasn't done anything for a while now.

[d-money]

Gonna lose this game. 9 outs remaining

Mookie has gone cold. We need the top of the order to get on. Is the Tampa Bay staff that difficult for us?

[OH FOY]

Here we go Machine Gun Kelly.
