Of course he will. They are paying him too much and they need a lefty. Is he actually worse than Poyner or Scott? Now I do think Velazquez will get dumped in favor of Wright. Velazquez only goes because he has a flexible or resilient arm. I suspect Wright, if he works out can fill that bill.

 

Yes, he's worse than Poyner and Scott. Paying him "too much" has nothing to do with anything.

[mvp 78]

I rather Poyner than Pomeranz. Pom is done.

 

I'm sure Cora feels the same way.

[romoboy]

Put all the stars back in now and we'll come back.

How does anybody sit through a AAA game?

What a crappy ass lineup. Edited September 5, 2018 by romoboy

I'm not sure why Cora stayed with Pom when it was obvious that he didn't have command. He doesn't have the stuff to get people out if he loses command of his fastball. Now the team is behind the 8 ball.

[redsoxrules]

Should of just forfeited this game to begin with

The concessions are cheaper.

No need to see Pom the rest of the year now. There's plenty of pitchers who legitimately deserve a shot at the postseason

I think he wanted at least one inning out of him. He is trying to see if there's anything left. Clearly, Pom's tank is on empty. Any good outing is thanks to the RNG gods.

Braves announcer gloating about what a great bounce back win it will be...lol.

Yeah, there’s nothing left in that tank. Probably Cora just used this game as a final audition. I think he has finally made his case, and Pomeranz won’t pitch in Red Sox uniform again.

[mvp 78]

TS darlings JBJ and Swihart are 0-6.

[Station 13]

If you have 9 Fernando Rodney, what is the quickest way to rid yourself of them?

no unsung hero awards.

Such slow paces, ******* only job is to pour in strikes.

The thing is he was halfway decent for August. 5 pretty good outings (unscored on, maybe a walk or a hit allowed), 2 blah (a couple runs in 4 innings) and a Houdini performance last time out (4 innings, 7 hits but no runs). Nothing great, but far better than earlier in the year. Today, he had absolutely nothing.

[romoboy]

But he's Pom-wonderful

[illinoisredsox]

I'm guessing Scott and Poyner to finish up the last 2 innings, so at least none of the main pen will be used.

To be brutally honest, I'm glad Pom got shelled today because I sincerely hope this ends his prospects for being on the postseason roster. Every time I see him pitch, I think it's a miracle when he gets anyone out because he has just two pitches--curve and not-so-fastball. He has no changeup despite being a lefty going against mostly righties, not much control, and a strong reluctance on some occasions to even throw the ball at all.

[Tedballgame]

Pomeranz sucks.

[Station 13]

"Do you add an egg?"

[mvp 78]

JBJ and Swihart are hitting 1.000 in their past 2 ab's.

[Bellhorn04]

TS darlings JBJ and Swihart are 0-6.

 

You reverse jinxed 'em.

[iortiz]

Pomeranz sucks.

 

X2 LOL!

 

and just like that, we came to alive. Hopefully we still can do something.

Whatever works.

And if Pomeranz didn't give up 5 runs...

[Bellhorn04]

Who here has seen the Brady Feigls?

Who here has seen the Brady Feigls?

I have and its uncanny.

[Tedballgame]

One hit from tying the game, despite Pomeranz.
