5/31 Sox @ NY

What a s***** job by sale. Crap!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Not very ACE-LIKE.

[d-money]

Smh. Sale. Yankees own him.

 

It’s gonna be a long year my friend. This offense has been crap as well. Very inconsistent

[Station 13]

Sale ramping up 96-97 and missing. That would work last year with better command.

[SCM33]

This will hurt Leon's cERA

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The truth can sting, but the Yankems are just plain better than the SOX. Wait till next year.

[Station 13]

Smh. Sale. Yankees own him.

 

They hit one ball well that inning.

[jung]

Sale has got to get the FB dialed in if he is not going to throw any changes. Frankly LH pitchers without a change to throw to RH hitters is tough sledding.

[vegasbob]

Tell me again how Leon helps Sale. I know the ERA is better than with Vaz but but Sale is about to blow back through the 5.00 ERA level if he gives up another run

[SCM33]

They hit one ball well that inning.

 

That doesnt matter.

 

3-1 Yanks

[Station 13]

Meanwhile Happ doing well for NOT throwing strikes.

[Maxbialystock]

He needs to get that changeup working, plus he really isn’t much at keeping the ball low, which is exactly what Happ thrives on.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The Yankems' best hitter is on the IL. The SOX 2 best hitters are on the MIA.

[d-money]

This offense has to flex its muscle but they have been inconsistent all year.

Leon batting 9th makes the rest of the SOX line-up look better.

We seem to turtle against the top teams like Houston and the Yankees. Yes good pitching helps but still. It’s frustrating.

[Maxbialystock]

Sale is still heavily dependent on K’s, whereas Happ loves contact which usually means a ground out.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I believe swinging hard and missing a lot causes back spasms.

[vegasbob]

I believe swinging hard and missing a lot causes back spasms.

 

Then Pearce and JDM can take turns massaging each others back

[Station 13]

That's what is said about "Mike" Stanton.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Except for Devers, VAZ and Chavis, the rest of the everyday players are just mailing it in.

[Maxbialystock]

Sox top four are hitless, so I don’t understand why Nunez, who hit a hard grounder, is being attacked. JDM looks helpless and Mookie not much better.

[Station 13]

True. Sale has always had high pitch counts and lots of Ks. He doesn't really induce many groundballs anyway.

It's only eyeballing but Sale has trouble regaining his command, if he had it at all when things don't go right for him. The big slider is not a strike pitch, it's almost always out of the zone (intentionally, I'm sure)

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Then Pearce and JDM can take turns massaging each others back

 

Throw in JD for a threesome.

[d-money]

How pathetic is this offense?

[d-money]

A sweep and and maybe a couple of more losses and this team might be out of their misery.

[iortiz]

Sometimes baseball is brutal. Sale has been pitching very well. Gardner and Hicks hit at very good pitches after being 0-2. It’s baseball, fellas.

 

Said that, we’ve got this. Watch and see boys!

Fair enough. Not really Sales fault if we lose. But it would be nice to see the offense step up tonight.

[Station 13]

Betts needs to swing the bat, when he fouls balls off, he would get into a nice rhythm again to hit. Too much passive at bats this year.
