4/05 Sox at Diamondbacks

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I remember another SOX board I was on a few years ago. Rick was referred to as Poorcello. Fortunately, this board is too classy to lower itself to that level.

This is getting old. This team needs to get home quickly, can't wait for Sunday and this awful trip is done. Who the hell ever would agree to this schedule to open the season??

 

You would prefer to be playing in Boston in early April?

1st inning: 1 whiff and 2 elephant asses.

 

 

 

elephant ass=high and it stinks.

 

Rick truly stinks.

But the how about the limp dick line up ?

1 run of this salad thrower ?!!!

[mvp 78]

This is not fun.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen any team underachieve like this.

 

This team can’t hit, pitch, field, or run the bases. Thankfully those are their only four flaws...

There is a real competition amongst the Sox starters to get the highest ERA.

Rick has managed to get his up to 13.5

and has passed Erods 12.38

I am not convinced this light ST workload for the rotation is working out. Sale and Price have been "tolerable". Sale is pitching a completely different way and its going to look like a struggle for as long as he is doing this. Price looks fine to me. The rest of them suck ass. ERod is just being ERod as in useless. Nat can't find the plate though he is throwing as hard as he always throws and Porcello is short arming the baseball. It might all come out in the wash later. But it sure looks ugly now.

 

The everyday players look WS hungover....all of them are busy looking at last year's press clippings.

I noticed Houston started today off 1-5. They're supposed to be pretty good.

I can see the SOX improving their hitting, fielding and running the bases.

Salty needs to just go away. He is terrible.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Well, I knew one of these two teams was gonna score 7 runs tonight. I, as usual, picked the wrong one.

I admit I've never looked at the whole schedule in depth before, but has any team opened with a lengthy opposite coast trip before? Ridiculous.

[Northern Star]

Rick is still the SOX best hitting pitcher.

 

Which may be helpful when we're down six runs in the 5th.

I know JBJ has done poorly so far. But LH hitters should be crushing this guy. Monday morning QBing. But if I wanted to win this particular game, I would have left JBJ in CF, Mookie in RF, sat JD. JBJ would not have been playing against the fence for the pitcher for one thing.

[Northern Star]

Thank God the starters are being rested for September, when we'll be 20 games under.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I still find it amazing that the 1988 Orioles started that season 0-21. I mean WOW.

[jung]

JD can't even see this guy's pitches. JD is leaning out over the plate now. If this guy thinks he can paint one on the inside.... JD is done.

 

He tried....couldn't do it.

Unless they change the schedule so that every NE and midwest team is playing south and west for 2 weeks, it's a case of some teams having to be at home. I don't mind starting on the road, but eleven goddamn games is ridiculous.

and then went on to win it all, right? Give us some hope here.

Yup, they finished the season 141-0 and won it all. LOL. Actually they finished a resounding last.

Devers stinking it up, 1 hit in his last 20 ABs

Seriously, in the last 100 years of baseball only the 1980 Twins ever started the season on an 11 game road trip, prior to the SOX this year.

[Northern Star]

Why are the Yankees off tonight?

That may be all we have to compliment us if we keep this up. Lol

Oh well. Still have my Ottawa Senators..............................

This s***'s about to get ugly. Or uglier...

I don't know if those 11 games were played in 11 days by the Twins. I posted this games ago, but MLB really went out of their way to make it tough for the SOX to repeat. However, there is no excuse for this level of s*** baseball by this well-paid team.

[Northern Star]

Thank God we IBBed the guy to get to this scrub.

I still have the BRUINS.
