4/03 SOX at A's

[Station 13]

At least we have play competitively this series.

[illinoisredsox]

Beni and JBJ stinking it up bigly

 

Difference is Beni has weeks like this; JBJ can have it go a month or two.

[vegasbob]

Benintendi is inexplicable. Betts is in the midst of a package shrinking slump that extends back into last year. JBJr has never changed, always was a chaser with no plate discipline.

 

Beni, Holt, Nunez and Bradley hitting a combined .384. Throw in Mookie and you get to .584

Yeah Betts didn’t hit in the World Series so this is a long slump for him

The SOX offense is offensive.

Yup I remember watching buster olney on espn saying benny was going to be a perennial batting champion. Clearly he's not going to be an impact player to that level. Good player but not a star.

[vegasbob]

Poor throw by Swihart gets past Nunez into CF where JBJr should have had a pickup and throw to 3rd to nail Semian but Mr. Defense can't pick up the ball cleanlyThen Hol;t and Moreland combine to make a tough play, throw and stretch to get the third out with the run scoring. Barnes looking pretty strong.

What a f***ing play by Holt

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Wasn't even close. Another pathetic turd of an ump. Great play by Holt.

[Jasonbay44]

Beni, Betts and JBJ will be fine. Slumps happen. They always just look way worse at the start of a season.

Get the lead and win the game. Edited April 4, 2019 by d-money

[Jasonbay44]

Hopefully we get wild and bad Rodney, and not filthy unhittable Rodney.

[Jasonbay44]

Wtf Nunez

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nunez never fails to disappoint.

[Oscars]

What a f***ing play by Holt

 

 

 

Nunez never fails to disappoint.

 

He often features in silly plays

[Jasonbay44]

Every time I watch Nunez I wonder if he even knows what the hell hes doing. This guy makes more dumb ass plays than anyone I’ve ever seen

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Why not challenge, Cora? Unbelievable.

[vegasbob]

Holt looks clueless at bat, can't catch up to a medium pace fastball.

[Jasonbay44]

Nunez gets caught being a dumb ass. Holt swings at a pitch in dirt 3-1. Should be first and 2nd no one out

[Jasonbay44]

Swihart has hit the ball well 4 times

[illinoisredsox]

Why not challenge, Cora? Unbelievable.

 

Because they saw he was out; no need to waste it.

[vegasbob]

Swihart just hit a game winner ! Oh wait, Nunez got caught trying to run and Holt failed to walk on a ball 4. Thankfully, his defense saved a run so Brock is even. Blake Swihart hits better than Sandy Leon.

Then JbJr finally beats the shift with and odd ball to the vacant left side. Now it is up to the MVP to get the lead

I think blind people hit better than Leon

[Jasonbay44]

Mookie!!

[vegasbob]

Mookie bounces the ball off third base to score two. A change in the winds of luck coming ??

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Thanks 3rd base bag. You're my hero.

[Oscars]

Love it.

That said we haven’t been unlucky to be 1-5.

In fact we were lucky to win 1 game!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

SOX showing no respect for Rodney.

[Jasonbay44]

FINALLY. Offense wakes up around 1 am!

[vegasbob]

Beni changes his luck and gets a strong triple to score Betts. This season is back in gear.
