4/20 @ Tampa Bay

And there it is.....X simply admiring the ball from the batter's box. These guys have been caught lounging in the batter's box, lounging on the base paths all season so far....ALL OF THEM.

Bogie stands at home plate making DP possible.

[Jasonbay44]

This damn catcher has been making some crazy stops

[Jasonbay44]

This inning could cost them

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

SOX players lucky they're not being managed by Billy Martin or Dick Williams.

[d-money]

This offense has been awful. Hanging on for dear life in this game.

[TylerD]

Oh just tuned it. Gonna shut it off. Heart has trouble with these games.

Honestly I can barely tolerate any more of it. Somebody gets caught loafing from the batter's box or base path every game now. This from a 7-13 team. If Cora has not tossed the buffet table yet, this would be a good time if they win tonight. I would be reluctant to do it if they lose. But they are playing like s***!

Put it on Cora if he doesn't get the message across to them. Way too nonchalant in all respects across the lineup

8th inning - one run lead - men on 1st & 2md no outs. Biggest mistake ou've made all year, Alex! There is, in baseball, a thing called BUNT1 You couldn't give Bogie one shot at it?

[oldtimer]

1st and 2nd and nobody out and nothing from it. We have Bradley, Lin and Leon up in the 9th. We needed runs in the 8th.

[vegasbob]

Just as a personal favor---No more super high balls on 0-2 counts. Then Barnes blows the save with another HR allowed.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Well, wasn't that special?

[d-money]

Wow i don’t like this at all. Barnes for a six out save? I smell disaster. Hope i am wrong.

[d-money]

There it goes!!!

You want Xander, one of the teams best hitters, to bunt, for Devers/JBJ/Lin to try getting the run home?

[bmattioli]

I knew that s*** was coming

[d-money]

Pitching pitching pitching. The hitting also was pathetic.

[vegasbob]

Starters record will stay at 2-10

What? They’ve been using Brasier in the 9th. Either way it doesn’t matter as Barnes blows it. MVP of this game though is Poyner

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

All I'll say about the Cora situation is that I hope SOX management doesn't give him as much rope as they gave Farrell.

Offense has been awful. The rays are more than capable of coming back from 5 runs.

[Jasonbay44]

And Jose Alvarado, one of nastiest pitchers in baseball who hasn’t allowed a run all season is warming up. Awesome

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Actually, Tampa's playing now like the SOX played last year.

[Jasonbay44]

Offense has been awful. The rays are more than capable of coming back from 5 runs.

 

5 runs should be enough.

[vegasbob]

You might see Bobby Chavis for Lin in the 9th. Might as well take a shot.

[jung]

Notice the vaunted NESN broadcast team has said NOTHING about X lounging in the batter's box. Sgt Schultz's of baseball broadcasting. "I see NOTHING"

[vegasbob]

The relievers needed 9 outs. They have achieved 6 but gave up 3 runs doing so. Good luck in the 9th

[d-money]

They need some 9th inning magic here. Do something!!!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Barnes is still, by far, the best thing in the BP.
