4/30 vs Oakland Athletics

[Station 13]

Porcello vs Brooks

 

going for my sixth win. I have 41% of game thread wins.

[Thunder]

Part of that is because you're making GTs more often than the rest of us. I usually give my mojo a few weeks off after a loss.

 

Would love the Boston sports trifecta tonight. Columbus, Milwaukee and Oakland won't know what hit them. In fact, it would be great if that other Oakland team lost as well. Win. Dance. Repeat. x2

Fake news. Station's mojo is 5-2 this year. He should be making every gamethread. He's the only poster who has had a streak so far.

That was me last year, but I had like 12 wins by the end of April

My man.

 

Except for when you call Cherington bad names.

Starting tonight this streak grows and hopefully to 9 straight victories. With the White Sox and Orioles coming up it's very doable.... No better time to get on a streak than against some bad teams. Maybe with this team turning the corner and getting victories in the coming schedule we can get some much needed revenge against Seattle in that series. If we can't do it now against struggling teams like Oakland, Chicago and Baltimore..... Well then I have zero hope for this team lol.

This could work out pretty good for Rick. A's fielding all RH bats and two switch hitters.

Our MVP is back and he is bad ass.

[TylerD]

Tyler likes these starts.

Anyone else notice that JDM hitting a lot of ground balls and swinging at some bad pitches. I think his back either still hurts or is affecting his swing

He always runs hard to 1B, but he was going 3/4 speed on that last ground ball.

Ya he has been off but who knows. Could just be a slow start and trying to figure things out. Hopefully it’s not an injury. He doesn’t seem in pain or anything.

[vegasbob]

Moreland with another big time HR , leading the Sox in Hr's. Otherwise not much

[DontCallMeUncleRico]

Man mookie is the hottest bat on the team and he can't come up with guys on.

[vegasbob]

Is anyone actually madly in love with Benintendi's abilities ?

[DontCallMeUncleRico]

Benny's a good player but nothing special. If he had a better eye at the plate he would be a monster.

[vegasbob]

Chara on the ice again when Columbus goes up 2-0 on a power play when the Bruins couldn't clear any puck from their zone.

He's a nice player, but not a great player.

Thank you for a correct assessment, Rico

[vegasbob]

Laureano proves his worth to the Sox by dropping JDM's long fly. Glad to see him hitting it up in the air.

[jung]

A's don't stand a chance tonight unless something totally stupid happens. 7 RH bats and two switch hitters against a RH pitcher? Could not even get 0 for a career v Rick, Semien out of their lineup for tonight.

 

Eck acting surprised that Rick has only needed 3 pitches to blow through this team so far. He does not need more than 3 facing no real LH threats from the A's.

Probably distracted by Piscotti. i actually have no idea why OFers are doing this s*** lately even in MLB. They should just get out of the way. What do they think they are doing....trying to get into the camera shot while the other guy catches the ball?

[vegasbob]

Devers doing what he needs to do---hit and produce rbi's. way to go, Rafi

[TylerD]

Porcello is very very good tonight.

[vegasbob]

Could big Rick get 7 innings with about 105 pitches tonight ?

[jung]

Geezus, Davis just swings out of his shoelaces every swing.

[TylerD]

Could big Rick get 7 innings with about 105 pitches tonight ?

 

Yes

I would let him go 115 if he was not straining and could get a complete game out of it. Did they outlaw LH hitters in Oakland?

[jung]

That was actually a classic 3rd base play by Devers FOR A CHANGE! Well done.
