6/7 vs Rays Devil

[Oscars]

The Sox were 6th in the majors in first inning runs last season , but suck this year at 24th

Porcello delivers his namesake on a 3-2 change up ?? WTF Sandy

[YastrzemskI]

Poor-cello is at it again?

[Oscars]

Porcello with the obligatory porcello

[d-money]

They have to keep this game close. This team has struggled mightily against winning teams.

2018, they jumped the other team and beat them early. This year's impression is we are always playing from behind through 5-6 innings.

Changes up in the zone are sooooo easy to hit. Choi barely even swung at that. Doubt that is where Sandy was planning to see that thing.

Got to know your pitcher, Jung, is why I called that on Sandy. Rick used to be a groundball pitcher but in more re recent years, he has become upper zone flyball meister. No worries, 4 bunts and we'll have that run back.

[Swiharts Ghost]

Guys we have to hit first before we even think about competing tonight

Which of those yielded most hits/HRs?

[vegasbob]

Based on the # of pitches, I'd go with the obvious, center cuts and upper center. Meanwhile Chirinos gets 6 outs on 23 pitches

[Maxbialystock]

sox lineup looks they have all graduated from obedience school. chironos throws downward breaking balls in the center of the strike zone and the infield gobbles out those weak grounders. pathetic.

[d-money]

Struggling against chirinos?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Struggling against chirinos?

 

The SOX have struggled against worse.

[vegasbob]

Talk about tipped pitches. If you have 0-2, 1-2 counts Leon will call the high FB, and our pitchers, almost all of them will deliver a FB at about 6' off the ground. What's the point ?

[Station 13]

Struggling against chirinos?

 

2 inning. Both Betts and Benny had great swing.

[YastrzemskI]

Rick hold it to one run please.

[Maxbialystock]

lineup so far is pathetic.

[Station 13]

now that's a groundball pitcher. Remember, Rick?

[Maxbialystock]

what's the plot line from "trouble with the curve?" Eastwood arranges for a new prospect's parents to come visit him because he's homesick. let's take up a collection for this pathetic lineup's mommies to come see them.

[d-money]

This is ridiculous. 3 innings in and no hits.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I wonder if JBJ is superstitious? When he makes his many trips back to the dugout from home plate, does he make sure he takes the same number of steps?

[d-money]

lineup so far is pathetic.

 

Everytime you think they can turn the corner. Rick needs to keep us in the game.

[Oscars]

Our record stinks against teams who are over .500

[d-money]

Rick has to pitch well.

[vegasbob]

Lowe a LH hitter takes two shots (2 hits) to LF, left center. Hope somebody is watching for second time through the Sox lineup.

[d-money]

Come on rick. Geez

[vegasbob]

Playing the shift in a DP situation ? Then cross up with Sandy advances them, drawn in IF. Walk the big guy and go back to DP situation

[FredLynn]

Rays about to put this one away

Yup.
