9/19 @ Yankees

[FredLynn]

Moreland is next to useless. Leon IS useless.

[jung]

And seeing what JD did in that AB is what separates some of the Yankee RH hitters that are used to hitting in this place and a guy like JD. So OK...JD gets a base hit out of that. If he picked on a pitch on the outer half just a bit up in the zone he just doinks the ball right over the RF fence.

[iortiz]

How much Pearce is hitting against RHP?

[a700hitter]

Moreland continues to be pathetic.

[d-money]

This offense is dreadful. A no show.

[iortiz]

Moreland continues to be pathetic.

 

I think Pearce can do better — and I don’t care the platoon thing.

[Maxbialystock]

Severino continues to dominate thru 4. If we had our "minor league lineup," as moonslav calls it, we might have a ready excuse. But no.

[TylerD]

Faaaaak. Not Prices night tonight. I knew eventually his red hot streak would cool off. I just hate that it had to happen against the Yankees.

[d-money]

We have had a fantastic year but against teams like Houston and the Yanks. I can honestly say Boston hasn’t done anything overly impressive to Convince me we can win. It will be a tough series but the outcome I don’t know.

 

It has been a great season indeed but this group should be maligned if they fail again to get past the ALDS.

[bmattioli]

F-you Price.

[jung]

So is that enough now? Does anybody really think Price can pitch in this place....EVER?

[TylerD]

Yup I agree. Three years in a row going out first round. Things will need to be done.

[Maxbialystock]

Much better inning for Price. Although if Nunez didn’t mess up it would only be 1-0

 

Yes, Price has been near perfect and we should ignore how he loaded the bases up before that error. We should also ignore the two dingers.

[TylerD]

Damn outside of that dinger it was actually a decent inning for Price. He hasn’t been great like I said. But he still hasn’t been horrible. Offensively we need to wake up.

When the f*** did I say Price has been perfect? Learn to read. I said MUCH BETTER INNING. even the best pitchers have off nights. That error was crucial on Nunez. If not for that it would be 2-0 and still manageable. I can’t stand when people put words in my mouth.

He is probably working on a ERA of 5 tonight when you consider he is not even into the tough innings yet. So I would not be all that ready to anoint anything he is doing tonight. He just can't pitch here IMO.

[Carpin]

The Sox lead the season series 7 - 6 very close, the difference is the sweep in August

[bmattioli]

Who is the leader on this team, the one that says wake up guys we need to step it up??

 

Nobody..

[Maxbialystock]

I sure hope I get to eat my words. Way to go, Nunez and especially Leon!!!

[iortiz]

Price is not sharp by any means, but it’s not like we are watching Pomeranz.

 

I think, only 2Rs are earned.

 

BTW, Leon just hit after 0-30 LOL!

[jung]

See what pitching outside to the LH hitters does. If that pitch to Sandy was inside...its doink...over the RF fence.

[iortiz]

... and JBJ is still hitless.

[TylerD]

If not for the error it would be 2-1. Price hasn’t been great but the game is manageable.

Yea two earned in the first 4 innings of the game. Where do you think Price is going with that?

[jung]

Look where Sevarino is pitching Mookie, one of the best inside pitch hitters in the game and Sevarino STILL won't give him pitches out over the plate.

[TylerD]

Yea two earned in the first 4 innings of the game. Where do you think Price is going with that?

Against the Yankees? You’re making out like he gave up 6 runs and the game is over already. Porcello always gives up early dingers. Let’s see how Price finishes.

[jung]

Given Prices history here and these 4 innings I am not resoundingly confident. Though I think you get that impression already.

[Maxbialystock]

Nice rally killed by our #1 and #2 hitters--a K and a weak grounder after #7 doubles, #8 singles, and #9 hits a line drive, caught, to the opposite field.

 

Come on, guys. At least we got the run. But 4-1 right looks like a pretty steep hill.

[d-money]

Good for one run.

[TylerD]

Given Prices history here and these 4 innings I am not resoundingly confident. Though I think you get that impression already.

 

He will get out of this inning or I will eat these words. Have faith.
