4/28/19 RAYS vs SOX

[bosoxmal]

FoxSportsSouth just ran about 5 minutes of Chris Sale's 2018 and this year's delivery. Has to be physical. Hand position today no where near what it has been in the past. The change can't be because he wants it this way!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Time for Pearce to be traded? That's been his history. The longer he's with a team the more the team wants to trade him.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Pearce's bat is killing us.

 

Between Pearce's bat and JBJ's bat and Devers' glove, we should all be dead.

This team has 2 hits again lol.

Honestly I did not want them to sign Pearce. Was OK with Nat...No on Pearce. Now we could say I was out to lunch on Nat. But I did not see any sense to giving Pearce money.

I wonder if the Pedey situation has gotten to this team a bit also. They carried him all last year doing nothing. This year they basically clear the decks for him as if Nunez (who can't play 2nd to save his life) and Holt (who doesn't play anywhere for very long) behind Pedey was a good plan. How much did that plan look a little like carrying Pedey just too far to the team in general.

 

The whole organization has looked a bit fat dumb and happy so far this year.

 

I say the SOX should continue playing Chavis at 2nd. If nothing else happens this season, at least the SOX may have a 2nd baseman for the future.

Win 3 lose 3. Win 2 lose 2. That’s this team. They’re mediocre. Under 500 mediocre baseball team. No enthusiasm.

...and just like that Sale posted 6 IP, 7 Ks and 2 ER.

 

Thoughts gentlemen?

Boy this is looking like a serious weekend face plant. We lose to the Rays. The Bruins treat the puck like it had the measles last night..."geez I don't want to touch that thing" and we suck again today.

 

If the bruins find a way and lose that series it would be a huge disappointing season considering Tampa has been knocked out and Washington as well.

Can he hit? Maybe he should grab a bat. Our offense is abysmal.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Good 4 innings by Sale. The best way to describe Sale at this point is to quip that Cy Young got Cy Old in a hurry.

[OH FOY]

Reminds me of Frank Tanana, after arm problems. All about control.

[Jasonbay44]

Pearce looks like Pedroia at the plate

[OH FOY]

We stopped being aggressive at the plate, taking too many pitches. Too many good pitches.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Beni has a better chance of roller skating thru a revolving door than he has of hitting Glasnow.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I'm not saying the SOX offense has shown a lack of power at Fenway, actually I am. I guess John Henry could ask for permission to move the LF wall closer to the batter's box.

[d-money]

This team is good for one run. The rays will be in every game with that pitching .

Sale has shown this year that he does have better FB's in him than he shows start to start. I will say it again. IMO where Cora missed is that he thought his everyday players would carry his rotation through this "save the staff" idea. NOT!!!!!! He needed the Rotation to carry the everyday players through their period of adjusting to all the 2018 hardware they are carrying around. Now the whole thing looks like Titanic - Iceberg as fat dumb and happy everyday players are now down in the mouth. So they went from fat dumb and happy to down in the mouth except for Rafi who still has no earthly idea what is going on. Its all just too much fun to Rafi.

[d-money]

I hope the Celtics hang on here. They have underachieved all year. They gotta win this game 1

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

This team is good for one run. The rays will be in every game with that pitching .

 

 

And the SOX will be in every game with their hitting. Er, what's that? Nevermind.

[Jasonbay44]

At least Sale looked good

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Sale's last 5 innings have been promising. I guess that's something.

[TylerD]

We’ll sale rebounded nice. Offense can come anytime now.

[TylerD]

This team is good for one run. The rays will be in every game with that pitching .

 

If our offense was half was it was last year we would be very good. Pitching has been good for us.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Chavis is a force. A bright spot in a dark room.

[Oscars]

Pearce is a statue !

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

JBJ just provided Cash a hint he may want to remove Glasnow.

[jung]

JBJ asks for a compass so he can find 2nd base.

[Station 13]

Chavis should hit somewhere Moreland is right now.

Good one.
