8/21 vs Cleveland

[Tedballgame]

Neither of those guys can be trusted.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Great catch by Allen. He appears to have JBJ skills in CF, but with a much better bat.

[jung]

Finally got Beiber out of there.

[Station 13]

Kinsler bat is cook with these feeble swing.

[Station 13]

Finally got Beiber out of there.

 

Francona recognized a pitcher is done. Cora would leave them hanging.

[Peterug]

If the relief pitching did their job the score would be tied

[moonslav59]

That hurt. Great catch.

 

That's how other fans feel when JBJ makes great plays.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Kinsler came to the SOX hitting very well; then he, like so many SOXERS, has a leg injury, comes back, and can't buy a base hit.

[d-money]

Well they better not give up runs here if they wanna try and make a comeback.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Francona recognized a pitcher is done. Cora would leave them hanging.

 

Yeah, I don't think it's fair when opposing managers take their starter out when he starts getting hit hard,and our manager leaves his starter in. Not fair.

Can't buy a hit if he can't hit the ball hard. These are some weak swings.

Btw, that pretty much describes SWI, also. Hitting well, leg injury, comes back, stopped hitting.

[a700hitter]

Need a bullpen arm.

[Peterug]

Let’s not forget the 6th inning . Lead off double and they couldn’t even move the runner over . The Guardians get a lead off walk , stolen base , ground out then fly ball . Guardians are a better prepared and managed team.

Thorberg is a disaster too.

[d-money]

That’s just awful. The Guardians have had a response for everything. The pitching has been awful!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

They are toast.

 

 

The SOX BP is toast.

[jung]

That is worrisome for Thorny. Can't put a pitch in a much better location. But there was something obvious about where that pitch was going for a hitter to go down and get it like that. RH hitter no less.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Has ECK ever seen a pitch he didn't like?

[moonslav59]

Great catch by Allen. He appears to have JBJ skills in CF, but with a much better bat.

 

Yes, love his career .615 OPS.

 

(.758 career in minors)

[d-money]

This team really needs to win these last two and anyone who thinks this division is over needs their heads examine. Not with this franchise.

[jung]

We need our rotation back and healthy. Rotation has saved this pen from being exposed most of the season. But we need them back and sound for that to continue. Need Sale, need Erod. Not going to get Pom and the way he is pitching, it doesn't matter.

[Peterug]

They’ve been toast most of the year . Management did nothing to improve it

[Station 13]

Thornburg is no good. Never have a clean inning.

[Station 13]

They’ve been toast most of the year . Management did nothing to improve it

 

LOL What are you talking about?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Yes, love his career .615 OPS.

Just rechecked Allen's stats. You are right; his offensive numbers are pretty offensive. Apologies to JBJ.

[moonslav59]

We need Leon or JBJ to get on base.

 

Both would be great.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Damn, ok I'm gonna say it. Why can't we get a relief pitcher like Miller?

[moonslav59]

Damn, ok I'm gonna say it. Why can't we get a relief pitcher like Miller?

 

I loved the Miller for ERod trade but always felt we should have signed Miller that off season.

[moonslav59]

Looked like 4 balls and 1 strike to JBJ.

 

Instead, we get a K.

[Peterug]

I don’t care how good JBJ is in the field , he sucks as a hitter
