3/30 World Champs @ Seattle

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

This is why I avoid the game threads.

 

 

Moon. What's your take on E-rod?

Moonslav59 our pitching has made the mariners look like murderers row.

[d-money]

Throw strikes hembree!

[d-money]

Just lack of pitching through 3 games.

[d-money]

Big strikeout. Can’t give up more runs.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Well, the Yankems did lose to the lowly Orioles at home this afternoon. There's that.

[d-money]

Let’s chip away! Get the offense going.

[Oscars]

This is why I avoid the game threads.

 

It’s hard for fans to watch a 240 million team that starters are currently sucking bigly

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Pretty much the same score as yesterday's game. Only difference is Mitch won't be able to PH.

[Jasonbay44]

They’re on a West coast trip to start the season. The Sox historically usually struggle on west coast, it’s game 3 of 162. Call me crazy but it may be a little early to panic

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

When the SOX do get their first big inning, I guarantee it will be big.

The Seattle bullpen remains vulnerable.

Wanna see better starting pitching. Has to start soon.

[a700hitter]

In all 3 games, our starting pitcher gave up 6 or more runs. They were not ready to begin the season.

Not crazy at all. It is way too early to panic. Most of us will know when it's the right time to panic.

So me having diarrhea currently is a tad dramatic?

 

However it could be from the McDonald’s I had rather than the Sox play. Or a combination of the two.

[Jasonbay44]

I mean we can look at the bright side, there is no way Sale, Erod and eovaldi will be this bad all season

[Jasonbay44]

If you keep drinking liquor, the L’s get easier and easier

[d-money]

Mariners being very aggressive. Gotta get the split if we lose tonight .

[d-money]

This game is winnable but need offensive magic and keep it at 4 runs.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

As bad as the pitching has been, it would have been worse w/o Betts and JBJ playing great 'D' in the OF.

[d-money]

Get something going here!!!! Make it interesting at least.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Can't argue with that. The question that bothers me is how well will Sale adjust if he can no longer throw 95+.

No offense tonight. Oh well

I know it's early, but like I posted yesterday I don't understand not keeping Betts leading off and Beni batting 2nd. I guess Cora didn't feel the team won enough games last year.

 

I honestly do not like Beni to Mookie v Mookie to Beni. I simply do not think Beni is disciplined enough as a hitter to lead off. He may be someday. But he isn't now. Beni gets that front leg too far out in front, gets into too deep a stretch front to back, gets his hands outside the baseball and turns into popup city even when he makes contact.

 

The MVP is not a large physical frame kind of guy and I suspect Cora is trying to spare him some use over the long season. He has got to cover acres in Fenway RF and the leadoff hitter must get at least 80 more PA's than the guy batting from the 2 hole.

Bats are dead. Such as life.

Why does Thornburg always look like the most detached disinterested ML pitcher on the mound I have seen in a long long time.

Good point. But who would you rather have with those 80 more PA's? Beni or Betts?

You'd have to go back to Doubront.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Mitch has to make himself believe that every time he's at the plate he's pinch hitting.
