5/18 vs Astros

[FredLynn]

A sweep would be a disaster especially at home. This team has a deer in the headlights look right now.

 

A sweep really won't matter with this team.

No votes that this team is a playoff team anyway.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Speaking of pitching prospects, the kid on the mound right now is the SOX pitching prospect.

[YastrzemskI]

Holy cow.. Bravo Mitch Moreland!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I like Weber. They also make great grills.

[YastrzemskI]

I need another brandy..

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Holy cow.. Bravo Mitch Moreland!

 

Mitch's defense has never been an issue.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hey, Joe. Shut the BUCK up.

Who plays CF this year if JBJ sits. Mookie is not a good CFer proven often? Beni is not a good CFer also proven. JD is not a good RFer and really should be DH as often as possible.

 

However, Mookie is the GG RFer in the game playing in the most difficult RF in all of baseball when we are in Fenway. You want to see much of Pearce out there? JD out there? The Astros challenged JD last night in RF because they knew there was a good chance they could beat him out there and they did which cost us a run in what was ultimately a 3-1 game.

 

Gotta' get Price and Nate back and this offense needs to get going at the top of the order. Never mind the bottom of the order. The only guy really getting it done 1-6 in this order is JD at .321 and a .944 OPS. The rest of them are meh and some of them are less than meh. Streaky at best describes the entire rest of the team's 1-6 hitters so far this year. I am OK with seeing Cole have the kind of start he had last night. Not liking Cy Martin having his way with them.

Cora is an idiot for not challenging that play. Chavis was safe.

[YastrzemskI]

WTF?!? Challenge the goddamn call at 2nd!!! Is Cora senile??

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

You're pissing me off, Cora. Why not challenge that? Cora is casting Farrell vibes.

[YastrzemskI]

Should be 6-4 right now... Cora has gone senile... officially.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Cora is an idiot for not challenging that play. Chavis was safe.

 

I agree with both statements.

[FredLynn]

Bradley up

Next inning

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

There's an arrogance about Cora that will cost the SOX more games.

I don't get not challenging that. Middle of the game would seem a good time to use a challenge. Cora could always beg for an Umpire's review late if need be and I doubt they would deny him.

[Station 13]

Cora has been known to throw games for the sake of preserving the team. But that was last year when they have so much leeway.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Thank god Altuve's not in the line-up.

[YastrzemskI]

I’m over this trash.. later ladies n gents.

[d-money]

Good for one run lately. That’s not good enough.

[d-money]

And they give it right back.

[FredLynn]

Bogaerts is sleepwalking tonight. Idiot. I am outta here. Its no fun watching these guys at this point. Go Blazers. Hate the Warriors. And go Bruins.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hell, we still got the BRUINS!

it looks like the players conceded this game based on Val taking the mound. They are playing this game like crap on toast. Cora managing about the same way and Station might be right. Cora might just be looking to send them a message.

You mean Pope Cora, the infallible one ?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Thank god the SOX don't play these guys 18 times.

[Station 13]

I wonder if Kimbrel would want to join this hot mess.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

You mean Pope Cora, the infallible one ?

 

Does a pope wear a funny hat?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I wonder if Kimbrel would want to join this hot mess.

 

For the right amount of money Kimbrel would row a boat in a toilet.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

For the right amount of money Kimbrel would row a boat in a toilet.

 

And so would I.
