5/24 @ Houston

[Swiharts Ghost]

Guys I'm out have a good weekend these guys have no heart

[jung]

I am sorry. But that kind of DP drives me crazy. The runner is inches away from the SS trying to turn the DP and he can't even attempt to touch him. Ridiculous. It just is. The SS should have had to jump over the runner and make that throw and more importantly, he should be prepared to. Not in this version of MLB.

[jung]

Jerry going blind in his old age. He must be preparing for a career as an ump.

[d-money]

It looks like it’s not happening this season. Just frustrating. This team hasn’t brung that consistency in 2019.

[vegasbob]

For all I know, Sale will win this game 10-2. But I do not see the sharpness of a real #1 carrying his sloppy teammates to a win. Glad we have Chris because otherwise Hector Velazquez and Brian Johnson would be the answer.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That bad call on second strike turned that whole at bat around. Wow.

 

Homeplate umpiring is at the same level of ineptitude as hockey refereeing.

[d-money]

I don’t know how you explain this team coming out like this in 2019. There’s talent on this team.

Ty Cobb is giving major league baseball the finger from his grave.

Heck, Hockey referees should be better now that they and the linesmen don't have to ref fights any longer. 4 on 4's are now such a rarity because there are no fights any longer. 5 on 3's. even rarer.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Correa will now probably ask for 40 million/year.

[Maxbialystock]

Sale is not pitching well, but the defense is pathetic. Oh, and Pearce is an idiot.

[jung]

Well that was ugly. The OFer's were probably headed for the bullpens just to make sure they had no part in that mess.

When the NHL went from one referee to two, it ruined the flow of the game,IMHO.

[d-money]

And Chris Sale comes up with a lame start.

[jad]

That was astounding. But there are so many jaw-dropping defensive plays, I realize it is difficult to know which one I am talking about.

[Tedballgame]

Sox defense is horrendous tonight.

[iortiz]

Embarrassing. This is bush league baseball. Boegatts is lost because he’s nervous.

[d-money]

Flat uninspired performance. That’s the 2019 red sox for you.

[iortiz]

Too many mistakes. I don’t even know where to start.

[Maxbialystock]

As bad a night as Sale is having, the other 9 players are far, far worse. 1 of 4 runs is earned.

[Tedballgame]

Why Pearce moved off the bag on that rundown is beyond me. Terrible play.

[d-money]

What a bunch of pansies. They look all shook up against the stros. It’s a brand new season fellas.

Oddly I have always thought the 2nd Ref really had little to do. If he is down low he is really too close to plays to really see them at the speed these guys are skating and hitting. If they are both up top, now you have linesmen and refs getting in each others way. So I tend to agree with that.

[jung]

The runner couldn't believe it either. You could almost see him laughing at us.

[vegasbob]

Sox could finish this one with more errors than hits. Astros showing how to take advantage of the other team miscues. That's a winning mentality. Of course when it counted in 2018, the Astros choked on the chicken

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The only everyday player on the SOX who has improved from last year at this point is Devers.

Whata bout Vazquez bat?

[iortiz]

Whata bout Vazquez bat?

 

 

...and some guys in the BP.

[jung]

Heck of a play by Marisnick

Well noted. This one is a complete team effort so far
