4/17 @ NY Yankees

[a700hitter]

Game Time: 6:35 pm

 

Eovaldi vs. Happ

 

A700Hitter @ the game mojo will be in effect. I will try to give Betts some batting tips before the game.

[TylerD]

Reverse jinx:

 

It's 15-0 by the 4th inning and many of the players for Boston are seen with what appears to be sweat..... however upon further look they are actually crying from the severe beating at the hands of the ever so powerful New York Yankees. The sox finally get the offense going and Martinez has a beautiful homerun in the 9th. Sox lose 27-1.

 

Get your head out of your ass and play some f**king baseball!!!!!!! GET A WIN!!!!!! By any means! Heaven forbid Eovaldi goes 7 shutout innings tonight!

 

Stat wise we are dead last in the league for starting rotation, and 18th at bats. No win right now is going to be pretty..... So just win any way you can.

[Maxbialystock]

It all starts with the pitching, especially the starters. Cora has said that out loud because it's so obvious.

 

One presumes Cora will go with some righty bats vs. lefty Happ, who was pretty tough against us last year (until the ALCS). One presumes Beni will rest another day, so my guess is JDM will be back in LF, JBJ in CF, and Mookie in RF. I see Devers at 3B (but it could be Nunez), Bogie at SS, Pedey (or Nunez) at 2B. and Pearce and Moreland at 1b and DH or vice versa. Vazquez catching. So, if Devers sits for Nunez (unlikely), we could see as many as 7 right bats.

 

But, honestly, I believe the winning card is a700hitter transmitting vital bulletins from enemy territory.

[TylerD]

Granted it's a bad start to the season, our boys are still breaking records. The starting rotation is off to the worst start in franchise history at an ERA of 7.18. The previous mark was in 1931 at 6.96. So..... we have that.

[Thunder]

Win, or not. Doesn't matter to me. Win. Dance. Repeat.

And if it's another ugly one, punch some mouthy Yankee fan for us, please.

What is up with these 6:30 start times?

[Kimmi]

Dear Red Sox,

 

Please win tonight.

 

Thanks,

Kimmi

What is up with these 6:30 start times?

 

I'm assuming to prevent exposure to the "cold" April nights. It's why the Tigers only play day games at home in April. I'm happy about it though, because it got me out last night by 9, instead of about 10 or 10:30 (or later)

I don't see Happ as anything much . Looking for a win tonight .

I got part of that right. Just three lefty bats (Nunez is out tonight, as is Beni)--

 

Betts

Bogie

JDM

Pearce

Moreland

Pedey

Devers

Vazquez

JBJ

Happ is all about location. When he’s up and out of the zone with the hard stuff and down in the zone with the slow stuff, he’s baffling. He has the problem of bringing the fastball down and the breaking stuff up as of now

[Northern Star]

With the exception of Pearce, today's lineup have all fared poorly against Happ, which is just the kind of encouraging sign you want to see.

[a700hitter]

Prediction: Betts will come up big tonight and JD will go deep.

[TylerD]

Prediction: Betts will come up big tonight and JD will go deep.

So 10-2 Yankees is your prediction?

[Station 13]

JJD! Too bad nobody got on base prior to that.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Playing on this recently bad team won't effect JD's offense. He's played on other bad teams and performed well.

Here goes Nat again. Wild in the strike zone. Meatball to Voit. Meatball to the next batter gets fouled off. Edited April 17, 2019 by jung

They need to really locate more, expecially a dead red batter like Voit. Throw something offspeed.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

VAZ is slap HAPPy.

[jung]

Vaz has gotten a few of these in this park. Place is made for his swing.

[Station 13]

Pop up homers. Only at this 21s century shitpie hole.

[jacksonianmarch]

Location to Moreland and JD was bad. The HR from Vasquez wasn’t a bad pitch

[TylerD]

I’m at Burger King getting whoppers and I see we’re winning. Me likey!

[Oscars]

The bats have woken up from their slumber!

I just had a burger from Wendy's. Hamburger mojo!

Damn I should have started today's thread

We'll take it, but RF in Yankem sandlot is a joke.

There isn't really a good away to pitch to RHH at this shitpie hole. You basically at the mercy of having it pull or just flick to RF.

[Bellhorn04]

Damn I should have started today's thread

 

You were in a no-win situation.
