5/18 vs Astros

[Swiharts Ghost]

This ump is hooooooorible

[jung]

At least they didn't mess that up. JBJ can actually throw the ball further than he can hit it.

 

Even that was embarrassing though. The Astros were just toying with us...purposefully trying to coax another bush league play out of us tonight. Do we actually think the runner at 2nd base did not know where the baseball was as he just stood there coaxing us into the run down play?

 

If this were Bill Belichick's team he would be replaying this game in gory detail in slo-mo and with narration to the Patriots until it was coming out their ears and they were begging to be allowed to make amends.

[Station 13]

This ump is a son of a bitch.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

This game is moving slower than an Ingmar Bergman film.

 

And just about as exciting.

[Swiharts Ghost]

JD come on man

[Jasonbay44]

At least this umpire is really good at his job

[vegasbob]

Horrendous umpiring at the plate. really no excuse for this performance

[Station 13]

JD is swinging some funky s*** lately. So many bad chases.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Must be what the Sox said to themselves in the clubhouse before the game:

1) Val is pitching

2) Its on Fox

3) Val is pitching

 

"How can we possibly be expected to put up a competitive showing under such circumstances!"

 

Actually, this game belongs on FOX NEWS.

Another game joke. Thornburg actually lowered his ERA in the last inning. Now sporting a 7.50+-

It's not like it doesn't happen a lot.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

You mean the one he has when he isn't umping?

Must be trying to stretch out Tyler to be the spot starter

[Jasonbay44]

Thornburg is awesome.

[vegasbob]

Thornburg fails to cover first. Cora either pulls him now or Alex is gutless and condones this s*** by his players

 

Tyler the DP maestro.

[jung]

I smell "this is why its so hard to repeat" just oozing out of the local media and fanbase right around the corner.

 

Yea....tough to run the bases and make plays with all that hardware hanging out of your pockets. Maybe leave the hardware on the mantel over the fireplace why don't you!

[Oscars]

Before tonight:

 

OPS .765

 

RISP .846

 

RISP w 2 outs .865

 

Late & Close .769

 

Bases loaded .982

 

Against the Astros we are 1/16 with RISP

Vegasbob, I believe the word 'horrendous' covers just about everything tonight.

[d-money]

This offense has been pitiful to say the least.

The Astros had no problem winning over a 100 games and reaching the ALCS last year after winning the WS. It may be hard to repeat, but it doesn't mean the team has to go straight down the crapper.

Other than the fact there is no replacement in the system, the team could DFA either Brewer or Thornburg with little chance of them being claimed. Then, if they won't accept some time in Pawsox land, just give them a release to make room for Holt or Pedey or somebody. You don't need 13 of these guys.

[Tedballgame]

I wish the Red Sox could get a reliever like Ryan Pressly.

[Swiharts Ghost]

Still love our team but addition by subtraction must be made after tonight.

[moonslav59]

Against the Astros we are 1/16 with RISP

 

Yes, last 48 hours.

 

Let's DFA everybody.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I wish the Red Sox could get a reliever like Ryan Pressly.

 

You could have ended that post at the word reliever.

[Station 13]

Devers can't strand anyone this at bat.

[moonslav59]

I wish the Red Sox could get a reliever like Ryan Pressly.

 

...or James.

[moonslav59]

Devers can't strand anyone this at bat.

 

So, solo HR, right?

[jung]

I would rather that we had played a game like this against the Tigers. We would not have beaten Sisters of the Poor tonight. So why would it matter. Would have done almost anything not to have barfed up a game like this to the Astros or actually two games like we have to the Astros.

I saw two of them.. it was two too many. For the love of God... lol.
