5/10 vs Mariners

[vegasbob]

Maybe he has been reading the talksox forum which encouraged him to pull more often to where what power he has will result in more extra base hits. I'd love to see him spread his hits and it shows he can do it.

 

He did hit it both directions tonight. I understand why he may want to favor the inside-out LF swing at Fenway, but then he showed he can reach the RF wall with a good swing. As I said earlier, Beni is hard to figure out.

The team definitely needed his early big power shots , but it may have given him the false impression that the pitchers were the ones who needed to adjust, not him. Anyway, would be nice to see him launch a few more

 

Its a game of adjustments. He can hit the fastball well so they give him a variety of other pitches and throw the fast ball slightly out of the zone. Give him some leeway as we could use his power over Holt or Pedey who probably not do a lot offensively.

Erod gets that ERA under 5 tonight.

book it.

 

Booked

Thornburg and Brewer will get paid their contracts no matter what they do, but I have to think both are pitching for their longevity on this season's Red Sox. Right now they are only getting mop up work, saving the rest of the pen.

Thornburg does himself no favors by getting tagged, blowing the shutout and otherwise sucking.

[d-money]

Thanks thornburg you asswipe for messing up the shutout.

[mvp 78]

Thornburg still sucks.

[d-money]

Lovely to see the offense flexing its muscle. Hopefully it continues. Go Sox!!!!!

[vegasbob]

If the Sox fans had some doubts on the bullpen coming into the season, just be very glad Mike Wright of Seattle is not on our roster. It looks painful the way he throws the ball

[Station 13]

Thanks thornburg you asswipe for messing up the shutout.

 

he has done that a few times. I wonder what are they doing with him. So useless.

[Thunder]

Can this game end already? I have to make tomorrow's GT tonight due to extenuating circumstances

This game is in the bag. Do what you have to do.

They should invoke a Mercy Rule tonight.

[oldtimer]

Everyone but Chavis and Vaz have at least one hit tonight. Good, because hits tomorrow will be hard to come by. Either the Yankees or the Rays will lose tonight so we gain a game on one.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Since their 13-2 start, the Mariners are 7-19. Ouch!

Day game after a night game, Leon will be catching. I think the guys will keep hitting tomorrow and King Felix is slipping from his best years.

[vegasbob]

What an idiot this guy Ryan Weber is. Throws the ball over the plate, doesn't use near enough pitches . Man, he needs help. 0.00 ERA after 5 innings.

[TylerD]

We are good!

Still pizzed that the person I despise more than anyone is now in possession of a SOX jersey. My worst moment as a long-time SOX fan. Edited May 11, 2019 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

Excellent job tonight by E-rod. He may turn into a consistently good starter after all.

Other than being out with injuries, he's been pretty good for quite a while.

Consistently going 6 or more innings is what I was referring to.

All of a sudden the Seattle Mariners have a negative 1 run differential on the season (and have been outscored 37-34 en route to a 2-6 record through eight games of the 10-game road trip against three 2018 postseason qualifiers.

 

Get 'em on Saturday.

[d-money]

It feels like every game is a must win. Hope they bring the lumber and the pitching tomorrow again.

At least Seattle did rid themselves of that albatross Cano.

The person I'm referring to is not cute or a kid. He's ugly and old. But your response was a good one.LOL.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Btw, Tyler, you're a good SOX fan and I'm sure your new born will carry on that tradition.

[mvp 78]

Tyler Jr bringing that newborn mojo.

[Bellhorn04]

Just to light a fire in what should qualify as a laugher game, Beni only seems to hit big when it doesn't matter.

 

Although he did hit a game-winning 12th inning HR just the game before, so there's that.

Very short memories.
