My turn in the barrel.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Stubborn, arrogant Cora still refuses to have Betts leading off even in this make-shift line-up. I said 'make-shift' not 'make-s***.'

What the f*** is this lineup

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hopefully, the SOX can get 8 shut out innings from Sale today. I would prefer 9, but I want to make it real.

Castoffs from DRAGNET.

Red hot Sale. I like our chances.

My turn in the barrel.

 

Looks like Cora is really pissed off now. At least he has moved JD to LF from RF. Still don't think JD should be in any part of a Fenway Park OF especially in wet conditions. Is Cora flat nuts!

 

Nunny at DH again. Hope for better luck today.

 

Sale is going to really feel pressured to come through here. He is "apparently" this year one of the few guys that feels compelled to show up for big games.

 

1. George Springer ® RF

I strongly suspect that for whatever time Pedey comes back, Cora will have Pedey lead off before he puts Betts back at lead off.

Glad we missed Verlander. Sale vs Miley should be a lead pipe cinch . No way the Sox lose today .

[d-money]

A sweep would just bring the morale down from this team. They need a win badly.

[Swiharts Ghost]

We pound them out today .Team is humiliated and pissed .Miley is very hittable . Edited May 19, 2019 by Swiharts Ghost

A rain-out would definitely prevent the SOX losing today.

[Swiharts Ghost]

Are they really getting rained out ?

I agree, and was about to make the same point. (we know both these guys well, and we no the GAP between them)

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Rain delay at this point.

[fxkatt]

Are they really getting rained out ?

 

At worst, there will be brief delays... most likely only this first one, though. The rains in the northeast corner are very scattered, so no worry.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Miley is a slow junk pitcher; SOX have bad history with slow junk.

[vegasbob]

What the f*** is this lineup

 

Correct again, this lineup sucks in support of Sale. They may score 10 runs because that's baseball, but any lineup featuring Nunez, Pearce and JBJr and Chavis leading off is down 0-2 coming from the on deck circle.

[vegasbob]

Red hot Sale. I like our chances.

Yet another cool, wet day for Sale start, backed by a weak lineup (on paper) against a junkball LH'er. What could go wrong ?

[fxkatt]

Miley is a slow junk pitcher; SOX have bad history with slow junk.

 

You got a point, and of course Sale, a superb as he is and has been lately, is facing a much tougher lineup than the one Miley is facing--today.

[vegasbob]

I strongly suspect that for whatever time Pedey comes back, Cora will have Pedey lead off before he puts Betts back at lead off.

 

Cora announced this mid-winter and his analysts back up the theory of the best hitter going #2 . Only problem I have is that Betts is not the best hitter on this team. Vaz is.

I'm guessing you don't believe in blind squirrels.

C'mon, vegasbob, JD is our best hitter and has been since he arrived.

[vegasbob]

Fully agree , just trying to give Vaz some love for his recent exploits. JDM is a great one

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Sale is far and away the best 1-5 pitcher in baseball.

[a700hitter]

If I am Hinch, I tell Miley to let Vasquez beat him. DO NOT LET JD BEAT YOU! Cora is starting to believe his Press clippings. I think he just neutralized JD today with this lineup.

[YastrzemskI]

How about we get a lead and keep it for a change! Go Red Sox!

[Swiharts Ghost]

Thankyou FX

[Station 13]

Suck it Bregman. Suck it.

[a700hitter]

I would walk JD and go after Vasquez
