They are expecting to be able to play through the rain without any delays.

[TylerD]

Good work Price.

[FredLynn]

Devers should not be on the postseason roster

Devers should not be on the postseason roster

 

Two opportunities but nothing to show as yet. Devers certainly didn't have a good at bat, but then neither did Holt. Give them another time around the batting order and see what happens.

Sandy Leon= Automatic out

[FredLynn]

Why is Swihart not catching more often? Leon cannot hit the ball if it was as big as a beachball.

[Tedballgame]

How can a guy swing at a pitch that goes between his legs? He is so bad.

[d-money]

Struggling to hit Sanchez thus far.

Absolutely. If Leon is so great with the pitchers, why do the relievers stink with him catching too?

[oldtimer]

If you noticed from Devers down and including Mookie we struck out 4 times and hit into a double play. We seem to have problems early in the game with being able to hit starters no matter the ERA. Yes Leon is just not hitting the ball. Cora is watching all these guys, particularly catchers and third basemen. Tough decisions to come.

Gibby....You mean to tell me you did not have a single RH hitter you could bat lead off against Price Gibby...not one?? How's that working out Gibby.

[Station 13]

At what point will you need a telescope to find Leon's BA?

[FredLynn]

At what point will you need a telescope to find Leon's BA?

 

But he "calls a great game" ......and "the pitchers love him".

[Tedballgame]

But he "calls a great game" ......and "the pitchers love him".

IF, the Sox make the World Series, in the National League park it would be like having 2 pitchers batting 8th and 9th.

[Tedballgame]

Safe

[Station 13]

This is weak.

[Tedballgame]

Why have replay if they still can't get it right?

[d-money]

Where’s the damn offense?! This guy has an e.r.a over 5 and can’t do nothing.

[jung]

Why have replay if they still can't get it right?

 

Lots of inconclusive which sort of says...just kill replay for most of the plays MLB uses it for. Always thought replay has been misapplied the way MLB has applied it and I have seen nothing to change that opinion in the years since.

[d-money]

Come on david.

[d-money]

Throw strikes David!

[Tedballgame]

If Cora was trying to win this game he would pinch hit for Leon.

[Station 13]

f*** you Sandy

[Youk Of The Nation]

Brock Holt looks like Matt Damon, except I don't want to punch him every time I see his face on the screen.

Because to quote Crash Davis:

 

"If you believe you're playing well because you're getting laid, or because you're not getting laid, or because you wear women's underwear, then you *are*! And you should know that!"

 

Price has pitched extremely well with Leon behind the plate most of the season. And he sure has done well so far tonight.

[illinoisredsox]

If Cora was trying to win this game he would pinch hit for Leon.

 

And has been the norm lately, later in the game he probably will.

[Station 13]

Price is pitching great, but his margin of error is zero his last few games.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Note to Cora: Please do not have Leon and Devers in the same line-up. One AO is enough.
