9/3 @ atlanta

[moonslav59]

Seems like forever since the Red Sox scored.

 

But, when they did, it was in huge crooked numbers.

9/3: 0

9/2: 0

9/1: 2, 3 & 1

8/31: 1

8/30: 4 & 5

8/29: 1, 1, 1 & 11

8/28: 1, 2, 1, 3 & 1

 

[moonslav59]

Nice!

 

A crooked number!

Notice Suzuki comes up from his crouch when he wants the pitcher to throw up and out of the strike zone as well. Most of the catchers in MLB do.

 

It really is not as important that the batter might know that a pitch up is coming. The pitch is going to be out of the strike zone anyway. The battery is trying to get the hitter to change his eye level. Even if you see the catcher move and you know the high pitch is coming your mind imprints to the last thing you saw which was that ball up in your eyes. It is then easier to get the low pitch past the hitter.

[jung]

That is about the best piece of hitting Beni has done in weeks

[Tedballgame]

Why didn't that fan make more of an effort?

[Tedballgame]

I hope Steven is right today. No walks.

[Tedballgame]

What a lousy way to to start an inning in relief. Idiot!

[Tedballgame]

Get the bullpen going Cora!

[jung]

Actually it looks like there are a ton of those "table" or shelf seats all over this place. I suppose its OK. But it makes me wonder if that upper deck is there to make up for the seats those tables cost them. That upper deck is going to require binoculars and oxygen. That thing is way up and way back.

[moonslav59]

Wright looked a little shaky, but better than Eovaldi.

[Tedballgame]

Hopefully, Wright can give them 2 more innings and then pray.

[a700hitter]

Brandon Phillips was added to the MLB roster?

[vegasbob]

Apparently Phillips and Devers will be activated Tuesday.

[vegasbob]

Welcome, Joe Kelly. Nice to let the little guy get some stats. Game is very far from over now.

[a700hitter]

Wright only had 1 inning in him today. It would have been nice to get multiple innings from him.

[a700hitter]

It would be nice for Kelly to get an out before giving up a bomb.

[Tedballgame]

Kelly sucks, sucks, sucks, sucks, sucks.

[Station 13]

A guy throwing 100 is so useless.

[vegasbob]

I hope Mookie didn't loaf on that bobble and get thrown out at first. Not like him but just wondering.

[FredLynn]

Masterful job by Kelly.

1 scoring inning in last 16, with a 3 spot.

[Tedballgame]

How come no reliever can get the first out of the inning?

[vegasbob]

7th, 8th and 9th will be testers today. Have patience and confidence, I tell myself. The lack of a 2 strike out pitch by these guys is amazing

[vegasbob]

How come no reliever can get the first out of the inning?

 

Brasier getting tagged on 2 strike counts. Need the DP.

[FredLynn]

By the way, where is Devers?

[a700hitter]

We had to go to the pen too may times today. sooner or later we were going to get one of those mushy ones with the mystery filling.

[moonslav59]

I'm heading to DQ for a Brazier Burger.

[BOSOX11]

DFA the whole bullpen.

[vegasbob]

By the way, where is Devers?

 

Activated tomorrow

[illinoisredsox]

Suzuki has killed the Sox over the years and has had chances to do so again today; how many times can they roll the dice against him?
