8/26 @ Tampa Bay

Some of that has to do with the fact that they used to be his teammate.

 

True but I am not sure he would have more success against another team throwing like this. Too many Sox pitchers have MiddleofPlate-itis lately.

[jung]

What really does not help is that the Sox just hate playing here. I would not want to be a team coming into this place either. Arcade baseball.

[Station 13]

voladi is kinda meh, he isn't that bad today, the bloops and seeing eyes will happen when stonehands play behind him.

 

Also the Rays are 18 above .500 at the trop. We're somehow are .500 there which is fine, the Yankees are 1-8 or something.

[jung]

Lyons with another meaningless contribution to the day

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

You guys are seeing what we saw for a couple years with Eovaldi. Amazing stuff, no walks, wild in the zone.

 

Amazing stuff? Kind of undermines the word amazing.

Amazing stuff is not what he has. Mediocre is more like it. No swing and miss on his fastball.

The season's not going all that well,

Bu, thank God it;s the last

We will see of Blake Snell

 

Maybe the for best AL pitcher awards.

Just glad this is not a 4 game series because sure as I am keying this, we would lose that one too

[jung]

Kelly??? What does this mean?? We are mad enough now to plunk somebody in the ribs?

[OH FOY]

Chavis is hot in Pawtucket, 3-3 today so far.

[OH FOY]

Phillips hot down there too. Hitting .317 now

[Station 13]

JBJ is swinging through air all series.

Not the AB for that comment.

[illinoisredsox]

If Snell is done for the day, that makes 14 straight home starts where he’s allowed 1 run or less. It extends his own MLB record.

[illinoisredsox]

This game has gone so bad that even the nattering nabob of negativism has stopped posting today.

[jung]

Been saying it since the Maneae game. This is a FB hitting team. If I were pitching against us, I would not throw FB's for strikes unless I had to. I would show FB off the plate just to show it. Throw our RH hitters an assortment of sliders curves and two seams and our LH hitters Change ups and Cutters. Then when we run into periods when we can't even hit FB's that is a tough stretch for us.

[bmattioli]

I really feel they're not even trying

[illinoisredsox]

I know the Rays have hit a few balls hard today but they’ve also had a lot of bloops, dinks, choppers etc.

[Station 13]

It's hard to play .700 baseball withno Sale and E-rod I see. Our top 1-2.

[royplayer]

It's almost as if a cosmic switch has happened with the Rays playing like the early Sox and the Sox playing like the early Rays.

[royplayer]

I see Hembree has given up his obligatory 1 to 2 runs this inning.

[OH FOY]

I cannot stand Hembree, he is so slow, has no energy when he pitches.

[royplayer]

Hopefully they can right the ship against Miami.

[Station 13]

I see Hembree has given up his obligatory 1 to 2 runs this inning.

 

Wait for the homerun.

[royplayer]

Hopefully Hembree is DFA'd before the end of the season. He's pretty worthless.

While I agree the breaking stuff works against us, you must have decided not to watch this game because we can't hit this guy's fastball.

 

In fact, in all three game it sure looked like our lineup needed their mommies to give them hugs because the Rays pitchers have been a bunch of bullies.

He miss location that was down and away and the ball ended up up and in. That's like 2 feet on the opposite side and plane.

He's getting better.

Oh I watched the game. You must not have read the post.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The SOX are definitely missing Porcello's bat in the line-up.
