4/19 @ Tampa Bay

[TylerD]

Here is a cure equivalent to taking an aspirin for cancer. Just go to the equivalent date in 2018 and read the game thread there instead of this years. It won't help thier current record but you'll feel a lot better.

 

Will it help them win ?

[vegasbob]

No worries, top of the lineup due up so sure to score a couple, right ? I guess after Beni's leadoff walk, Mookie wasn't content to make his own Mendoza line busting out, he had to make a DP to show Beni what's what here.

Not much will until they get desperate, which hasn't happened yet because, it's early.

[vegasbob]

Beni K's without one pitch actually being in the strike zone box. All on the edge, and he's back to the bench

[d-money]

Bruins look awful early as well. Could be one of those nights.

[DontCallMeUncleRico]

Greedy bastahd is going to regret not taking the Red Sox offer.

[jung]

Maybe Bruins and Sox would look better if they put cleats on the Bruins and skates on the Sox.

[vegasbob]

Devers tries to pull outside pitches and rolls over to the 2Bman. Mookie tries to pull outside pitches and rolls over to SS. Anyone see a trend here. really poor hitting efforts.

This team looks disinterested. Could they actually have a worse season than the 71-91 season in 2014?!

I wonder if the bruins know it’s game 5 which is always pivotal.

[vegasbob]

Think I will watch the Bruins now, so I can see a team from Boston actually get a few hits

Fair point. I would at least take them showing some life though. Offensively we have looked pretty putrid lately.

Been a good game. Evenly matched. Saw Bruins had back to back power plays but didn’t do much with it.

[jung]

Our RH hitting star through 19.5 games?......Vaz.

[d-money]

Runs? They scored 3 runs?! Wow

[TylerD]

We’re......winning........

[vegasbob]

Amazing turnaround and glad to see some back to back hitting. Now, Cora needs to manage this game like it matters, use all pitching available and not let anyone dig themselves a hole.

Hopefully E Rod and the bullpen have some shut down innings in them tonight.

[SCM33]

Thank god for Vasquez and not Leon!!!!!

[vegasbob]

Devers, like Erod , can play when he has his head in the game. Great DP turned, shutdown inning for Erod.

This is one of the few games when Vaz and Erod have actually helped each other. They had to find something ERod could throw right in the first inning. Found the two-seam and stuck with it. Found the Cutter next and at least had two pitches ERod could throw. Eventually ERod was able to throw the four seam which he was trying to throw at the start of the game and couldn't. That is actually a pretty good job of managing plan B.

[vegasbob]

When Mookie hits , as he just did, it makes JDM (batting 4th) all the more dangerous.

[vegasbob]

JDM is murder on slop pitching. What a key AB to get the run home and keep the line moving

Feels good. Pitching has been solid too for the most part. I knew we wouldn’t shut Tampa down to 0.

[SCM33]

Thank god Leon isnt playing.

[vegasbob]

Thank god Leon isnt playing.

 

Haven't seen too much of him this week.

[SCM33]

Haven't seen too much of him this week.

 

Yeah, bc they made a mistake.

 

He is a hugeeeeee fatass and is out of shape to play back to back games.

[jung]

Looks like Vaz has backed off the plate in the batters box. That is actually a good idea for him.

 

Of course that means he can't get to the K pitch with a broom handle.

[vegasbob]

I'll take JDM's rbi but with 2 on and no outs, we get to watch 3 straight K's to Wilmer Fonts. Not quite the Red Sox yet but hold the lead and win
