9/21 AAA Sox @ Tito

[FredLynn]

No way I want Hembree on my post season roster....nor Kelly.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice play by Holt. I hope he retires as a SOX. To be a winning team, it helps to have players like Holt available.

[Slasher9]

That was a shot.

Hembree sucks

[Tedballgame]

Sale could get saddled with a loss thanks to this tomato can, Hembree.

Why doesn’t cora just rest these guys until the playoffs? I hope it doesn’t blow up in his face come the ALDS. Edited September 22, 2018 by d-money

Not sure what’s the point in sending Hembree over and over again to allow HRs.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hey Cora, do you know what insanity is? Doing the same thing and expecting different results. Hembree is pathetic. Everyone knows it but you.

 

MOY? My vote goes to Cash.

This bullpen still terrifies me

Be afraid; be very afraid. Btw, Cora also terrifies me.

[d-money]

This team’s going into the playoffs cold. Does cora expect this team to turn the light switch on?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

This guy on the mound for the Guardians pitches as bad as his namesake sings.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

s***, I thought Travis would hit 4 dingers tonight.

Heath HRbree

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

This is a meaningless game, so here's a meaningless post (like all my posts). It could be argued that Leon is the worst hitter in the AL, and that includes some pitchers.

He's so bad that even randomness doesn't figure into his plate appearances.

Hembree the Horrible. Seems to fit. Problem is, it will stick Sale with a loss he didn't deserve.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

In defense of Hembree he did come up thru the SOX organization. Pitchers who come thru their system hardly ever tend to fare well over the last many years.

Hembree was in the game because Cora wanted to give the competent pitchers the day off.

[FredLynn]

Mental mistake by Swihart...that throw should have gone to second base.

Are you kidding? That'd be the dream for tons of Red Sox fans, to have someone pitch batting practice to you and to hit balls toward the Monster and see how you do.

 

You won't get anybody pitching to you on these tours. But see if you can get up to home plate. They let you on the field and behind home plate. Just see if they will let you up to the RH hitters batters box and just take a stance. See if that wall does not look like its right on top of you and see if it isn't almost mesmerizing. The RH hitter just can't ignore it and that is just the sort of thing that will create Slider disease in the RH hitter. How many of our RH hitters end up with Slider disease?

So you're talking about Brasier and Wright?

This team has 8 meaningless games after tonight. Does he plan to roll this lineup in those 8 games remaining? That would be idiotic. Also have they clinched home field throughout yet?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Devers looking good at the plate recently. That's a good thing.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

One thing's for certain in the PO's, Cora has got to extend the number of pitches for Sale and Price. No way they can get taken out after 6.

Well i hope sale is not tired by it because cora has not made him pitch more than 3 innings.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

There's no bridge to Kimbrel, but the starters could make it a short swim to Kimbrel.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It's great to see Barnes back. Didn't really appreciate him enough until he wasn't there.

They got him from the Giants in the Peavy trade.

Thanks. Also, thank you Giants. Man, the Giants haven't done us any favors.

[Tedballgame]

Sale is off the hook!
