4/22 vs Detroit

The tigers will make them pay for that crappy inning.

[vegasbob]

He was supposed to be a perennial batting champion candidate according to buster olney. I think it's obvious that won't be the case.

 

Beni will not be the player people think he is . A good mix in a strong lineup but not a power hitter and has no outfield arm.

[d-money]

Velazquez has to settle down. Come on!!

[vegasbob]

At least this game will see the "A" bullpen , whatever they will bring to the party. Cora saved them in anticipation of a sweep which didn't happen when the bottom 4 guys puked it up in the first game

[TylerD]

Offense is off to another good start I see.

[d-money]

Velazquez is losing it.

[vegasbob]

Another brilliant start by your #6 pitcher. Into the overworked bullpen again.

[vegasbob]

3 run hit to left field in Fenway. Who the f*** is playing this game?

Not even sure I can be mad at the bullpen. It’s insane how much work they’re getting this season already.

[d-money]

This BP will be fried up. Our starters are just pathetic! I never seen a stretch where the pitchers can’t go 7. I believe it has happened only one or twice with our starters. That’s pathetic!

[d-money]

This team is an embarrassment. To not show up thus far at home is pathetic!

[d-money]

They’re better than this for sure. Could see better baseball.

[vegasbob]

JBJr couldn't hit a middle-middle FB if it was on a tee

Problem with the pen is that the same guys are out there every game. I fail to see why my favorite pen guy IHATEHEMBREE is out there so much. He is barely a mop up guy and he is pitching in some fairly high leverage situations, ducks on the pond and stuff. Walden has been lucky more than good. Brewer sucks. Val has to start. BJ is out. Poyner sucks. Workman sucks and Thorny has yet to actually find himself. That leaves Brazier and Barnes who will shortly come out of the pen accompanied by a little cart carrying their pitching arms.

[d-money]

Long year. It’s gonna be a long year. The rays and skanks looks more consistent than this team.

[jung]

Oh look, a new victim.

Pen hasn’t been great but our starting rotation has been embarrassing to watch. I believe only twice they have pitched 7 innings.

[d-money]

This team killed any momentum with these two games. It doesn’t matter if they win the next two games.

You, sir, are observant. But the hitters will eventually show up to win this one for Hernandez to welcome him to the MLB level of play

My only real complaints are IHATEHEMBREE and Work. Neither should come into anything but a clean inning. I don't care who else you have to call on....Donald Duck....the guy in Seat 21/AA/10. I just don't care as long as its not Hembree or Work. The Sox have no choice but to overuse Barnes and Brazier. What the f*** else are they going to do?

[vegasbob]

Darwinzon throws a shutout inning already surpassing several of his future ex-teammates in efficiency of 3 outs vs no runs

[d-money]

If this team wants to make any type of comeback they better start doing it soon.

Pray that our f***ing starters can last more than 5 innings.

 

One thing I will say is the rotation seemed pretty solid this time around. Maybe Price, E Rod and Porcello can go 7 each next time up. I would factor In Sale but he still seemed pretty shaky today even though he had 10 strikeouts.

[vegasbob]

I know it is stupid and unproductive but can someone on the Red Sox mound pound a ball inside on Cabrera?

[vegasbob]

f*** Barmer in the Detroit bullpen

Mistake, Buck Farmer warming up

[jung]

This guy has JD backed off the plate. I don't blame him.

 

But it did cost him.

JD took two fastballs on the plate and swung at one outside. We had an opportunity but couldn't get the big hit with two of our better hitters up.Ugh!

[TylerD]

Bruins Leafs game is intense. Gonna watch it. Leafs have one goal...... more than Sox have runs. Lol

[d-money]

Meanwhile the rays are winning. That starting pitching will win them many games this year.

It’s gonna be a long year. Let’s face it. Rays and skanks are much more consistent right now. This team never looked mentally prepared going back to spring training.
