5/17 vs Astros

[sk7326]

BTW: It is very bad for baseball that the flagship MLB Network announcers are so crotchety and ill-informed. This is really bad.

[Thunder]

Hey look it's offense!

[vegasbob]

As usual, it comes to JDM to carry this team, a hit here gets a run and Cole will get to or over 100 pitches through 5 innings

[vegasbob]

Hey look it's offense!

 

Look again, Thunder. Three innings ending in K's with LOB's.

[Oscars]

Very early. Big innings coming up.

 

 

 

The DH, and your entire 3 man bench are not hitting .200 individually. Your next two IL returnees are Pedey and Holt, a combined 3 for 36 in limited action. Your first infield call up from Pawsox is Tsu Wei Lin, at 4 for 20 so far , again SSS. This lack of performance and weak reserves will not continue beyond end of July. Look for some roster action in about 2 months.

 

Sox 0 for 7 with RISP

[Station 13]

That was the game right there. Whiffs by JD and Moreland.

[d-money]

Lousy offense.

[Station 13]

BTW that must be the 2nd time a ball thrown into the backstop came right back to screwed us.

[TylerD]

Lousy offense.

 

Yes. This is brutal. Ruining a nice performance from Rick.

Not facing the sisters of the poor anymore. Facing legit competition.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hopefully, that was Cole's last inning. Btw, JD, great a hitter as he is, cannot resist swinging at outside and low sliders. I believe most of his K's are from that pitch.

[Thunder]

Look again, Thunder. Three innings ending in K's with LOB's.

 

The shortcoming of my life has been speaking too soon

JD swung at 2 balls in that AB and missed a slider over the middle of the plate

[TylerD]

My raptors are bloody sucking! Humiliating actually.

[d-money]

Ricky is zoning and these clowns can’t get him some runs.

[d-money]

I hate letting good pitching go to waste.

I like leonard but milwaukee just looks too good. I don’t know if they can beat the warriors even with the home field advantage.

Chris Sale knows all about it !

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Btw, congrats to the BRUINS for sweeping the Candy Canes and making it to the Stanley Cup finals. For all the Boston haters out there, I apologize for the Celtics.

As a big time professional hitter, you can recognize the spin on the slider ( red dot) , especially on the second one in the AB.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If the Astros were cheese, they certainly wouldn't be Swiss. No holes on that team.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Devers back to swinging at s*** pitches.

[Thunder]

If the Astros were cheese, they certainly wouldn't be Swiss. No holes on that team.

 

They're pepperjack. Just enough kick to be annoying

Chavis looks like a rookie tonight with the bat

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I'd call them extra sharp cheddar.

[Thunder]

Who knew Vaz could get the one hit we haven't gotten all night?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

VAZ has been consistent with the bat. Might have to move him up in the line-up.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Who knew Vaz could get the one hit we haven't gotten all night?

 

I did.

[vegasbob]

Devers and Chavis combine for 5 K's in 6 AB's , all with runners on.

[d-money]

They scored one run. Let’s see if the pitching can hold it.
