Can we get that offense going plz. Make Miley work.

No idea where Pearce was trying to throw the ball. Your pitcher expects you to throw to the bag on that play, not at him and not really leading him to any other place but the bag.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If the ump couldn't see that how would you expect him to see balls and strikes?

[Tedballgame]

Terrible tag by the world's greatest catcher. Put the glove on the plate.

Cora resting Moreland for the PO's.

[Tedballgame]

Leon bypassed the plate to try to tag him on the thigh. Stupid play. Error should be on him.

[vegasbob]

Nice play Steve Pearce. He had enough time to make a standard toss to Sale. Sale's WP moved the guy to second, and Sandy's attempted tag missed Diaz. Create-a run by Astros without the ballleaving the infield, except for the original ground ball single.

[Tedballgame]

With Sale pitching against Wiley, the Sox need to win this game.

It's called fundamentals from ST. Oh wait , they probably dropped that drill to get some golf in.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

When a team is playing the Astros, they should have their best defense on the field.

[d-money]

What’s the score? I am following it through my phone. I thought sale had a scoreless second inning and it says 0-1 .

[Tedballgame]

Why does Sandy Leon take a bat up there? He never uses it.

Call was overturned.

[vegasbob]

4 guys in the lineup hitting well below .200 . They may be warming up their bats slightly but the reality is they all suck vs MLB pitching

[jung]

I have to admit though, I see a lot more of 1st basemen trying to hit the pitcher with the ball before he gets to the bag which is about as stupid as a runner sliding into 1st base. You are forcing the pitcher to catch the ball and then find the bag. A pitcher with any athletic ability at all can actually catch the ball at the bag without much difficulty and you have not wasted any time recovering from catching the damned ball and then poking for the bag with your foot. Unless you can hit the pitcher on the run perfectly with a chest high throw anything else is going to cost time.

[d-money]

This team has looked pathetic against winning ball clubs. They need to show up for this damn series.

[d-money]

Wade Miley making them look foolish. When it’s sale vs miley you have to win that damn game.

[Tedballgame]

Wade Stinking Miley looks like Cy Young so far.

Why does Sandy Leon take a bat up there? He never uses it.

 

Because strike-outs, we're told, are BAD. Therefore Miley has fallen right into the RS trap.

[vegasbob]

39 pitches, 9 outs with 6 K's. Was Miley never available to us?

It's a rule, but your point is well taken.

[d-money]

Sox hitters look befuddled.

[d-money]

Sale has to stay compose and give us scoreless innings .

[Station 13]

Oh god why is Nunez, Leon, JBJ playing? That sequence f***ing blow. Get out.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Because strike-outs, we're told, are BAD. Therefore Miley has fallen right into the RS trap.

 

K's aren't BAD. There just another form of an out. They just require, in most cases, more pitches. Is that so hard to grasp?

[Maxbialystock]

I don’t think it is possible for the Sox to look any more pathetic than they do tonight.

[jung]

Fenway wall scraper.

[Swiharts Ghost]

Are we tanking ? I mean ? Wade Miley ? Mookie not leading off ? Continue trotting out terrible players resting hot players ? I can't stand Cora at this point .

[d-money]

I love sale but he has to do his job. He needs to pitch scoreless innings and he gives up runs.

Is irony so hard to grasp?
