4/16 vs Yankees

[TylerD]

Why is Sale so bad.

[TylerD]

Sale seems frustrated with himself and yet nothing seems to be getting better.

[jung]

Another s*** Changeup from a Sox LH starter. These guys are flat AWFUL....A.W.F.U.L!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I'm, unfortunately, receiving the game on the YES network with the mute on. It appears the radar gun is running high by about 3mph.

[vegasbob]

Geez, hope Mookie's bowling hand isn't injured

[Maxbialystock]

Why is Sale so bad.

 

No command.

[jung]

Why don't you just crow hop all the way to 1st base Rafi. Then you wouldn't have to throw it at all.

[d-money]

This pitching staff might give up a record number of hrs this season.

[bmattioli]

Getting ready for a long year, perhaps like 2014..

[vegasbob]

Hah, Remy says Ellsbury is on the 6 year IL

We gassed the gun to make him look better???? HAHAHAHA what a joke!

[d-money]

They’re not having trouble hitting sale.

[TylerD]

Unreal. This is ugly.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Easy to understand why Sale jumped on that 5 year extension.

[TylerD]

No command.

 

Agreed. Fast ball is back but literally his command is terrible. Bullpen is going to be so exhausted.

[jung]

Its all Leon's fault.

[vegasbob]

Bogey's hit just couldn't quite clear the wall. Fraziers just clears the wall. A 3 run difference but it doesn't look like Sale can limit the damage now. 2 innings with 2 out blowups

[d-money]

f***ing pathetic. I don’t wanna hear it’s early with this bunch. They’re f***ing terrible and digging a hole which they won’t be able to creep back from.

[jung]

We have 3 LH Starters. If they keep throwing crap Changeups like this to RH hitters...forget it. They will be lucky to win 90. Heck they might be lucky to win 90 anyway.

[Maxbialystock]

Sale is fast running out of excuses. With his favorite catcher he still stinks.

 

Come to think of it, maybe Cora and especially DD are running out of excuses. John Henry is shelling out big bucks and not getting much ROI.

[redsoxrules]

It still blows my mind they gave an 150MIL extension without knowing how he would bounce back from the injury last year.

I had the thought all off season that the WS win bought all of the FO/Cora a pass for 2019 . The thought was they could use that to reshape the next couple years. Haven't seen any progress in that direction, only a group that is underperforming beyond imagination.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

As far as the minor league system is concerned, going into this season the SOX had only one prospect in the top 100. That was Chavez at 79.

[jacksonianmarch]

Sale has shown his stuff again, but his location is awful. I’m wondering if he needs to overthrow to get his prior velocity and now cannot pinpoint it.

[Station 13]

f*** the cludding of players. DFA Sandy

[Station 13]

Our 5-9 collection is literally back up equivalent on the Yankees

[jad]

How many games do they have to do the "42" thing. MLB has been integrated for 70 years. Even the Red Sox are reaching 59.

 

Maybe a while longer, since it was the most significant social action ever taken by MLB. Many of us are old enough to have followed that segregated team, and I don't mind being reminded what I blinded myself to as a kid.

[jacksonianmarch]

Not sure why Sale is even considering fastballs here. Torres isn’t tracking the slider

[vegasbob]

Leon's first throw is a beaut, not to mention Nunez's alligator arm effort to catch it. So Judge steals second and winds up on third. Look out he doesn't steal home on Sale.

[Station 13]

Time may out run out for this squad. Sale might not be the same. He looks awful.
