8/30 @ Chicago White Sox

[redsoxrules]

Still blows my mind that he's won a cy young before.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Also, in the case of POR, his ERA is a much better barometer in regards to his performance this year than is his W/L record.

[d-money]

Geez porcello give us a chance at least. This bullpen is being taxed cause the damn starters can’t go deep into games.

[vegasbob]

It's not yet assured, but it starts smelling like an early BP game . Rick may get to 30 pitches here easily

[jung]

Giolito is so wild that Barrett may not effect him as much as he is going to effect Rick.

[d-money]

Porcello s***ing the bed once again. This pitching staff right now is in shambles.

[Jasonbay44]

Porcello is really s***ing himself

It's not yet assured, but it starts smelling like an early BP game .

 

Two of those hits were very soft.

[d-money]

f***ing *******. Now the offense needs to get going.

It was probably the flukiest CY winner of all time. Remember his numbers a year before?

[redsoxrules]

Desperately need Sale and Erod back

I do, same as the year after. Complete garbage

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Mind boggling was used to describe Teddy Baseball. Mind boggling could also definitely be used in regards to the SOX being 50 games over .500.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Two of those hits were very soft.

 

So's his ERA.

[jung]

X asking Barrett if that was a strike. Trust me X...Barrett has no idea.

[vegasbob]

Two of those hits were very soft.

 

Not soft enough to be caught. They all look like line drives in the box score.

[jung]

Thats it...time for EEI for audio. Can't take it any longer.

[vegasbob]

Giolito can't find the strike zone, Barrett can't call it right, so our guys help by swinging at pitches out of it.

[d-money]

Porcello needs to eat up innings and don’t give up runs.

[jung]

Rick is not long for this game I fear

This pitching staff is in shambles. Sure they get Rodriguez back but they need sale back as well.

Thinking just the same. Before Mookie was caught, I said, it is going to be a slaughter. He wasn’t throwing strikes at all — then Mookie was caught and Benny somehow started to strike at balls. Crazy how baseball works.

[d-money]

f***ing frustrating to watch. Get this bum out of the game.

[jung]

Hey look on the bright side. At least we are not in Tampa playing Arcade baseball. That double to LC field would have hit and spun back to the infield if we were in Tampa.

[iortiz]

This pitching staff is in shambles. Sure they get Rodriguez back but they need sale back as well.

 

What the f is going on with Sale?

[iortiz]

Seems like Garcia was in a slump and Porcello alived him Geez!

[vegasbob]

What the f is going on with Sale?

 

He plays catch on flat ground.

[Fan_since_Boggs]

Nice job by Porcello locking up the 4th spot in the playoff rotation. I would prefer giving the fourth spot to Eovaldi, with Porcello pitching out of the bullpen (he is the weakest starter out of the four) but since Porcello will be totally useless as a bullpen piece, it makes more sense to move Eovaldi to the bullpen and keep Porcello in the rotation.

[Tedballgame]

Just turned on the game and I see Porcello is stinking up the joint again. Also, terrible job of applying the tag by Nunez.
