6/6 @ KC Royals

[mvp 78]

Does Walden still suck? Checking for a friend...

[YastrzemskI]

once statcast happened there can be no more greg maddux. dude used to get pitches 2" off the plate.

 

Weber needs a pep talk from Greg.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

From 29yo career minor leaguer Ryan Weber to 26yo career minor leaguer Colten Brewer to 30yo career minor leaguer Marcus Walden. I’m noticing a trend here...

 

Except that, unlike the other 2, Walden has been helpful this year.

[Tedballgame]

JD's back is acting up again.

Yes. But how many guys like that do we want in a 7 man bullpen?

[YastrzemskI]

Any word on Moreland? How long has it been?

[Tedballgame]

I was hoping that Travis would be a better MLB player but it looks like he is going to be a AAA player.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Thank you. I was afraid I'd overdone the sarcasm, but no. WTF Cora. WTF Cora. WTF Cora. Sox should be winning this game despite Weber's horrible start, but everything remains hopeless because of our dumb manager.

 

Chill; it's a baseball game for god's sake. You're not being evicted from your house.

[Slasher9]

if JDM is batting 3rd like the past 3 games he would not have hurt his back again.

thanks WTF Cora.

[Tedballgame]

We need more than 4 runs today.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Yes. But how many guys like that do we want in a 7 man bullpen?

 

Based on Walden's performance this year, I'd take 5.

[Slasher9]

i think he's been pretty solid this year?

[d-money]

Still just a two run lead.

[TylerD]

I never said he sucked. I thought he hasbeen pretty solid all year...

[notin]

Based on Walden's performance this year, I'd take 5

 

Be careful what you wish for. The Sox have 4 guys who fit the career minor leaguer mold, and 3 have been awful...

[Maxbialystock]

Based on Walden's performance this year, I'd take 5.

 

He has been amazing. I have my doubts about WAR, but Walden's is 3d highest, 1.2, on the pitching staff and highest in the bullpen. And it doesn't look like luck when he's out there. .

[Maxbialystock]

Agree with whoever said we need more runs.

[d-money]

This game will not be easy. They need to score more runs.

[YastrzemskI]

Waldo has left the building

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

No good praise goes unpunished.

Tell your friend, yes.

[TylerD]

Martinez left. Ugh, rough year for him

[YastrzemskI]

Tell your friend, yes.

 

Future Cy Young award winner though.

[jung]

Christ, they are just toying with Chavis now. This is what I don't like about a kid being here that does not belong here.

[Oscars]

Chavis getting beat with an 89 mile an hour fastball at the top of the zone.

If he can’t catch up with that velocity, he’s in big trouble

Worse than that, Sam Travis is now hitting cleanup.

[Maxbialystock]

A walk to JBJ to bring up Betts with 2 on?????? Managers should be allowed to bring a pistol to the mound and a couple of stretcher bearers.

"Two strikes....here it comes kid...the pitch we know you can't hit......and......you can't hit it"

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I think MC Hammer may need some retooling.

[Maxbialystock]

That slider worked pretty well. All three near the middle of the zone, and the best Mookie could do was a lazy fly ball.
