8/26 @ Tampa Bay

[a700hitter]

Nicely done Brock. What the f*** were you doing.

He couldn’t get there and stopped to play the bounce which went toward the LF wall due to The English on the ball. Tough start— a bloop, a chopper and a seeing eye base hit, down 1-0 and no one out.

[Jasonbay44]

Rodriguez and sale need to come back ASAP.

 

Are they gonna make the offense score runs?

[d-money]

Eovaldi being generous today. Does this team have a leader in the clubhouse?

He's allowed a double that should'e been caught, an infield single, and a weak grounder that found a hole...

[Jasonbay44]

Lets just get the f*** out of Tampa. This team for whatever reason just dominates at they're dump of a home.

[d-money]

Well they would at least keep us in games. This team needs someone to speak up on behalf of this s***** run they’re in now.

[Station 13]

Amazing the first pitch the umpire gave Eovaldi a generous strike call, then his 2nd pitch couldn't be more centered.

Porcello literally just made a comment last night about how s***** they're playing.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Lately Eovaldi has made that Beeks' trade for the birds.

[Station 13]

Mookie is mainly taking FB's which tells you something about his confidence in his ability to get around and get the barrel to the FB right now.

 

He doesn't know what is coming. He always take a curveball for strike 1, now pitcher pound a fastball instead. Scouting is amazing eh?

[jung]

Not quite the DP we needed

This team still has a brutal schedule in September. They better find that offense soon.

[d-money]

Facing a tough pitcher today. Gotta find a way.

Mookie has swung at plenty of ist pitch FB's all season. He has been glad to get a FB in that situation and if he ends up fouling off a breaking pitch fine. Its only strike one if he fouls off a breaking pitch. He is not looking to swing at FB's right now and that is a problem. He is not even looking for a 1st pitch FB and that is not Mookie.

 

He was up 1-0 in the count and was STILL not looking for his favorite pitch, an inner half FB which he got and did not swing at.

Alex Speier recently had an article on Betts slump, first pitch swinging is down to 4% this month from 11-14% all other months.

 

Lately he is not even swinging at inner pitches, and getting rung up on them.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Eovaldi is devolving.

[Station 13]

where is the power lately? JD is not even hitting them.

Mookie not swinging at that 1-0 inner half FB is even more telling than his not swinging at 0-0 pitches generally.

Yeah it's kinda shocking but nobody throws him inner half, it just catches him as a surprised when he gets one.

[jung]

Lyons is just blind...just blind. What does he want viewers to believe...a strike has to be entirely in the strike zone?

[jung]

1-0 what should he have been looking for? 1-0 what would he normally be looking for, a FB in the zone right and most specifically, according to the God of hitting Ted, a FB in your favorite quadrant of the zone.

[Station 13]

1-0 what should he have been looking for? 1-0 what would normally be looking for?

 

He knows 80% of the pitches are away. Yet he pulls all of them.

[bosoxmal]

The first true throw-away game of the season.Please let it be the last!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

To attain the won/lost record the SOX enjoy required a lot of overachieving and luck. Unfortunately, neither of those things may last the whole season.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Not sure it's the first.

No he doesn't. Look at his spray chart for God sake

[Station 13]

Not sure it's the first.

 

Usually a game with an offday after is a throwaway game.

[jung]

Three innings, 9 batters. They are not even turning over the order anymore.

[OH FOY]

Ball was in the glove when he swung.

[a700hitter]

Snell is murdering us.
