5/8 @ Baltimore

[vegasbob]

You can see how jumpy and unconfident JBJr is at the plate. It really is discouraging because he has shown the ability from time to time to be an effective hitter. Right now he is an auto out, mostly without any contact except foul balls.

[oldtimer]

Let’s get some more runs!!!!

 

Big chance for the Sox with Nunez and Bradley, one out and runners on the corners. Nunez hit an atem ball to short and Bradley struck out. Having Bradley and Leon in the 8th and 9th slots narrows down our scoring potential.

In addition to Thunder GT mojo and finals week mojo, I am pleased to add "the girl of dreams might actually like me back" mojo. Big day for young love! Sox better win now

[d-money]

Come on sale.

[d-money]

Making sale work here.

[Thunder]

How's Sale's velo tonight? He's getting K's, but it doesn't seem that easy

The 7-8-9 hitters are all below .200, although Nunez fluctuates above and below with each AB. None of them has an OPS better than .480

Low 90's , up to 95 on one or two. Good pitch count through 4, but HBP 2 guys and maybe the same for the final K in the 4th

And so far hasn’t even given up a hit. Think Sale is back to form. 95 fast ball as well on a couple.

Seems like he's been hitting more guys this season

[jung]

Mentioned that Sale looked good so far earlier. Good thing because other than the Changeup meatball to Mookie we are doing NOTHING so far.

[d-money]

They’re having a tough time with this pitcher. Sale has to be perfect.

[d-money]

Get sale some runs! Let’s go!!!

[vegasbob]

Of all surprises, Leon gets a lead off single and Beni, Betts (robbed by bad ump call) and JDM can do nothing

[vegasbob]

They’re having a tough time with this pitcher. Sale has to be perfect.

 

How many times has Sale needed a shutout to get a win ? Looks like another one

[jung]

Guy's FB is sneaky fast. The ball seems to be on the hitters before they know it. Mitch late, X late.

[jung]

Seen all of this guy I want to see tonight. Hopefully he his off to the showers.

[d-money]

We cannot hit cashner at all.

Hope he has a high pitch count.

[jung]

Hope he has a high pitch count.

 

I think he left the 6th at 104. So he must be done. He was throwing like he knew it was his last inning.

[d-money]

Come on sale!!!

[d-money]

Damn it!

[d-money]

Need to get out of this damn inning.

[vegasbob]

Two out single, two out double ties it, Sale may have lost some focus there leaving a change up in the hitting zone

[d-money]

Brand new game. This offense has to wake up and start raking.

[vegasbob]

If you take the first game of this series and 6 innings tonight, the Sox have scored 2 runs. The game they won was a one runner. All this against a AAAA team. They may get to .500 tonight, and expect them to do so, but the engine is not firing very consistently.

[Swiharts Ghost]

Just Paethetic The first excuse to come from losing a series to these schmucks should be a perma ban .Guess these guys care as much as the Celtics .

[vegasbob]

Bradley vs a LH pitcher. Just not fair. can't they adjust the rules for him ?

[iortiz]

JBJ is an automatic out. Cora has to sit him for a week or so. We are a NL team with him in the Lup.

[vegasbob]

Sandy slashing it. Can Beni wake up ?
