4/04 SOX at A's

[Maxbialystock]

Red Sox definition of a 2 run rally---a single, a fielder's choice fail, a K, another single (which Betts admired from 3B where he stopped, maybe wisely), an rbi walk, a foul out, another rbi walk and a weak grounder.

Dink and Dunk but it's a lead and Erod holds it there through 1.

 

Only 1 out so Betts had to first be sure the ball dropped in, plus it was hard hit and right to the outfielder.

Let's keep the offense going. I have to take a poop, let's see if that is good mojo or not.

Too Many Informations

Fortunately, JBJ is only temporary until Fred Lynn returns.

[Maxbialystock]

Didn't I read that Vazquez and JBJ both hired hitting coaches in the offseason?

[vegasbob]

What happened to the new launch angle by JBJr, He's back to the right side rollover technique

Too Many Informations

 

Yes, and it doesn't seemed to have helped anything. Still 2-0.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I remember fondly when Beni used to be a pull hitter. Ted Williams would not be happy with Beni.

I hope they got their money back.

Neither am I, lol. Although the triple he hit in the 9th inning rally to right center was a totally aggressive and nice swing. He's just very inconsistent on that type swing

[Station 13]

I hope they got their money back.

 

Sorry, no refunds. no buyer remorse allow.

[d-money]

Need more runs.

[vegasbob]

A's outfield arms get another scalp. Pearce probably not in best playing shape yet for stretching wall balls into doubles

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Did anyone by chance catch the make of the piano Pierce was dragging behind him?

[vegasbob]

JDM is really remarkable

It was a "Runcoster"

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Jim Dandy!

[TylerD]

Make that 3-0!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

JDM is really remarkable

 

Imho, last year he was the best hitter in baseball. He's got a good shot of being the best hitter again this year.

Rodriguez can’t have a meltdown here.

[vegasbob]

Rodriguez can’t have a meltdown here.

 

Just don't start with the nibbling just off the zone.

Would follow suit, offense gets it going for the pitcher to blow it lol. But let's hope that isn't the case today.

[d-money]

Throw strikes you *******.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Oakland has great pitching and great defense. If they can get any hitting at all, they will be dangerous this year.

[jung]

Here is the ERod we know and love. BB followed by dinger.

 

Goes from 14 pitches through 1 to 50 pitches with 1 out in the 3rd and back to square 1......SO FAR!

[d-money]

I f***ing knew it!!!! Man I hate this guy.

[vegasbob]

Just don't start with the nibbling just off the zone.

 

So that is exactly what he does and has lost his mojo completely. Falls behind , then gives up the 3 run jack. Erod has no serious mental toughness

[d-money]

Brand new game. Unreal.

[TylerD]

I hate you E-Rod

[Oscars]

Our starting pitching continues to stink
