3/31 @ Seattle

David Price thinking “Ugh have to show you idiots how it’s done against Oakland”

[harmony]

Little cool at my seat in the shade.

 

Otherwise enjoying the game.

Until J.D. Martinez did what he does.🙄

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

JD Martinez is still good at baseball

 

The hardest aspect of baseball is hitting. JD may be the best at that than anyone in MLB.

[TylerD]

Excluding JDM !

JD carrying the team.

He's good at hitting the ball. Just keep him away from catching it, lead to those extra runs.

[Maxbialystock]

Way to go, bats!!!!

[jad]

OK..outta here. This team wasn't ready to start playing, and for that I blame Cora. He screwed up ST and the team entered the season with no momentum. Bad strategy on Cora's part.

 

Well, except for the fact that nearly everyone on the team (Betts excepted) is hitting at or far better than they did last year ... there is that. It is true, I'll grant you, that they had no 'momentum' from last year, since whatever momentum is, it has no application to sports.

[TylerD]

Holy f*** this sucks ass.

[Jasonbay44]

What the hell

[d-money]

Now if only the pitching could put up zeros but i doubt it.

[d-money]

Utter garbage from this pitching staff.

The offense has been fine. They are doing their part. If this starting rotation was even half decent we would win this series. Can’t remember the last time I have seen 4 consecutive games with pitching this bad.

[TylerD]

Did I read that right lol? First team since 1908 4 pitchers straight allowing 6 runs or more. Wowwwww

Just awful. HR Derby.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

2013=WC's

 

2014=last place.

 

That was one long hangover.

Is that really a fact? Where did you hear that? Is it just first red sox team or in general?

This is not a last place team.

 

Baltimore has their eyes on it!

[d-money]

If we can get a couple of more runs at least it would be interesting.

[TylerD]

It showed it on the game. At the bottom. Was a little head line. I’m pretty sure it said first team over all.......

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Is that really a fact? Where did you hear that? Is it just first red sox team or in general?

 

Maybe they added before the 5th inning.

My bad meant to quote you. Read above.

[TylerD]

Could be. I can’t rememwbr now what it said. Sometbing like that though.

The Oriholes should have a better shot at that than the SOX.

I think of few of us were looking at a 6-5 or 5-6 road trip for two reasons: No sense of readiness or momentum in the later part of Spring and the usual west coast trip blues. The Dodgers are making Torey Lovullo's Diamondbacks look really bad, so maybe 3 wins in Phoenix will help after splitting with Oakland.

I’m ok with that. However that’s if we get to that. Offensively we are fine. Still hitting. And JD is showing that he is what he was last year. But if this rotation has another dud in Oakland. We could be in a bad spot. Luckily Price is pitching and I trust he will play lights out.

[vegasbob]

If the rotation maintains this dubious standard, they can rest in October. This team looks exactly like the one we just saw in spring training, only these count.

 

You mean the opponents aren't all wearing 80's and 90's numbers. That was the common explanation for why ST doesn't matter.

5-6 would look pretty good at this point.

[d-money]

This team needs a good showing in Oakland. It’s early yes but you wanna have a good start in a very competitive division .

[Station 13]

Sell everybody

 

Pedroia might be worth a walker.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Funny, the best pitching performance, so far, was from the guy many of us doubted the most. I think you know who I'm referring to. Edited March 31, 2019 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER
