Let's get it done and clinch in front of the 40,000 asshats in the stands.

[Maxbialystock]

I call that bold talk for a one-eyed fat man. I hope you have the reins in your teeth and both hands full of artillery.

 

Speaking of which, where the heck is the Sox artillery?

[TylerD]

E Rod..... please help us today!

I'll be one of those 40,000. The last two games have been great but an infinitesimal part of me kinda wanted them to clinch just so there was no possibility of me witnessing it in person.

I understand, but I like our matchup vs erod.

 

Enjoy the game!

[Slasher9]

good as day as any for a W

To clarify: I honestly wanted to thank you for starting the game thread early. Someone had to, and it was possible the rest of us would have hung back until 8ish.

 

The Sox still have a big lead, etc, so I see these games as informational, which means of course I'm getting worried. Bullpen still stinks. Yankees pitching has our lineup throttled. Price, who was seriously looking like a $30M/year starter, got beat up fair and square. Shame on Nunez for the error, of course, but he got that double and scored the only Sox run. And those two unearned runs would not have happened if Price hadn't first loaded the bases up. Severino intimidated our guys. Their lineup intimidated Price.

 

Next up, ERod, the little girl with a curl. When she was good, she was very, very good, and when she was bad, she was horrid.

 

Last night I thought both starters were cautious in the 1st inning and not attacking the strike zone. it worked for both.

 

I think ERod needs to be that way tonight without walking everybody. I know he loves to throw all fast balls in the 1st inning, but I'm hoping he gets in a couple of changeups and a slider or two. Also that he keeps the ball low--not all of the time, but maybe half the time.

[Kimmi]

Betts

Beni

JD

X-man

Holt

Devers

[Bellhorn04]

Can we score some EARLY RUNS for a change please?

[Station 13]

Here we go again, RISP chances

[Station 13]

As soon as Betts hit that, Tanaka is back to nibbling.

[a700hitter]

This is going to be the night!

[bmattioli]

Come on Sox put up a crooked number like 5 or so..

[Station 13]

JDM isn't doing to steal, asshat.

[FredLynn]

Bogaerts Ks at a ball near the dirt.

[jacksonianmarch]

JDM isn't doing to steal, asshat.

 

You were saying? A good throw and he’s dead, but Sanchez is trying to ruin all of his utility

hit and run on 3-2 is standard.

[Station 13]

Xander is a f***ing mess and is like 0-10 with runners on.

[Station 13]

Now we wait for a passed ball, c'mon Sanchy.

[jacksonianmarch]

No idea why Tanaka didn’t just walk JDM

[jung]

I know Lyons talked about laying off the pitches below the belt knowing they are going to finish in the dirt. If Tanaka has that low stuff working you have to get him early in the count. Two strikes and you are dead.

 

But hey we got a run out of that anyway.

[Station 13]

What a s*** AB, Tanaka doesn't throw strikes.

[Station 13]

No idea why Tanaka didn’t just walk JDM

 

Why would he put himself into further jam?

[FredLynn]

Leadoff walk....that is a mistake.

[jung]

Come on battery. Hold the mitt over the corner at least for the lead off hitter and throw it to the black E-rod.

[jung]

I don't like ANYTHING this battery is coming up with so far.

[Station 13]

Vazquez should be banished. E-Rod needs to pound strikes.

[moonslav59]

Xander is a f***ing mess and is like 0-10 with runners on.

 

You really got it out for Bogey.

 

BTW, he got an RBI 3 games ago. he singled in Betts in our 5-3 win over the Mets- one of our few, recent early inning run knocked in.

 

He has 8 RBIs in his last 45 ABs.

[jung]

You are not going to make out so good throwing cutters up and over the plate against Judge.

[jung]

Will they never learn!
