9/4 @ Atlanta

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

R. Porcello 15-7 4.27 vs S. Newcomb 11-7 3.85

 

 

 

Porcello is due for a good start. Hopefully!

[TylerD]

I don’t know anymore. If good Rick shows up we win. If not it’s going to be a dog fight. Porcello has definitely been I inconsistent lately. Was fantastic against the Yankees and Phillies. But ever since he hasn’t been great.

[mvp 78]

Newcomb is a local boy. Hopefully he has enough nerves in him that the Sox can get a quick lead.

That’s when Porcello is his best. With a lead he is calm and collective. It seems when it’s a pitching dual he falls apart a bit.

[Slasher9]

over/under 2.5 porcellos.

im going to take the over.

but the Sox win 7-5.

Betts RF

Kinsler 2b

JDM LF

Bogaerts SS

Pearce 1B

Nunez 3B

JBJ CF

Leon C

Porcello P

 

8 righty bats + JBJ

[Beaneater]

Interleague at NL stadium = Porcello batting = game over.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I'd prefer POR batting 8th and Leon batting 9th.

I'd prefer POR batting 8th and Leon batting 9th.

 

Same thought occurred to me.

[Thunder]

Newcomb shut us down earlier this season. But, he never got to face Porcello. Win. Dance. Repeat. x2

[Spudboy]

Two Porcellos with the bases empty and going six while giving up 3 or less runs.

 

 

Sox can win.

[Jasonbay44]

This will be the first time in a while I can sit down and enjoy a full game. Hopefully Porcello doesn't ruin the experience. Also, as a longtime Brandon Phillips fan, it is awesome to see him in Boston and I hope he gets an AB tonight.

Why have one of the slowest runners on the team batting immediately in front of Mookie?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Anyone remember the last time Betts had a hit in the 1st inning?

[illinoisredsox]

He did? His line score was 3 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 4 BB and 4 Ks. Sox didn't score on him until the 3rd, but they obviously had chances before that with that number of runners on.

[illinoisredsox]

Anyone remember the last time Betts had a hit in the 1st inning?

 

Well, he got hit a couple times over the weekend.

[Station 13]

I wonder how pressing Betts is now.

[jung]

Porcello bats tonight. So he get a shot at making up for a Porcello or two.

[redsoxrules]

Ffs Nunez. Take a walk.

[Jasonbay44]

Damn, that was a really nice catch by Markakis.

[redsoxrules]

Zero luck tonight so far. There's been a few scorched balls but right at defenders

[illinoisredsox]

Two balls smoked and a drive to the wall all for outs. Pearce gets a single on a 27 hopper. That's baseball.

[Jasonbay44]

There was three loud outs that inning. Atlanta getting very luck thus far.

[a700hitter]

I took Suzuki on my Fanduel tonight. It is just so predictable when we face him.

[redsoxrules]

What a surprise. Another dinger given up by porcello

[fxkatt]

Magic Number is 16 if my figuring is right.

[TylerD]

What a surprise. Another dinger given up by porcello

 

Wasn’t the worst pitch. It was a hell of a hit though. But regardless Porcello needs to stop giving up these early runs.

[illinoisredsox]

What a surprise. Another dinger given up by porcello

 

A good piece of hitting by Suzuki. Pretty good pitch by Porcello; it was down and away. He got away with one the previous pitch, however, as Suzuki fouled off one right down the middle.

[d-money]

When was the last time porcello won a game? Porcello has been awful.

[illinoisredsox]

I took Suzuki on my Fanduel tonight. It is just so predictable when we face him.

 

Luckily for the Sox, he didn't do much yesterday. He was up with multiple guys on every time up and only came up with a sac fly.
