6/8 Tampa Rays @ Boston (game 1 of day/night double header

[vegasbob]

It's an eyeball stat but when a reliever gets past 20 pitches in an inning, their effectiveness goes downhill fast. Taylor is at 33 now and getting scored on heavily

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

To be fair, 3 of these hits have not exactly been roped.

 

To be fair the fans should get their money back.

To be fair, they have as many walks as we have hits and they have one less HBP than we have hits. Our pitching stinks and so does our hitting. And Tampa is playing a bad game.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The SOX started with a JOSH and will end with a JOSH. Lots of joshing going around.

[a700hitter]

This is as close to a forfeit as you can get.

That’s a good observation. All I’ll say is Taylor would have been better served if a couple of guys had hit the ball a little harder and given Bradley or Betts a shot at actually catching them.

 

OTOH, if he fields the bunt he may have gotten out of it with 1 run scoring.

True, but the other three were hit sharply. At least no walks. The real point is that he no real out pitch or velocity to get him out of that inning.

Yeah, very much a mixed bag.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice hit by Marco.

Try to restrain your expectations, vegasbob.

Nice hit by Marco.

 

This inning sums up the game/series completely.

[vegasbob]

It's too late now after the 4 run ninth, but the first two Pawtucket guys (Chavis/Hernandez) get on base and Devers, then Vazquez cannot score them. Nunez puts the nail in the coffin. He can't even strike out without hurting someone

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

We've got some players even the Marlins would refuse.

[vegasbob]

Price will probably deliver an excellent start, and turn this ship around. Snell going tomorrow will be its own challenge.

These games haven’t even been close. Disgraceful. Cora will get a pass this season but i wonder if his stay in Boston will be short.

[vegasbob]

If you hadn't seen it in some recent seasons under Farrell, you wouldn't believe how the WS winner can go from the best to mediocre over one off season. See you fellows later.

I'm not a big Cora fan, so I won't lose any sleep over the length of his tenure in Boston.

He could do that but unless some offense shows up it may not matter. If you have to have your starter throw a shutout to win, you are in trouble.

Same no-bat channel, same no-bat time.

[moonslav59]

sad, Sad, SAD, SAD!

 

SAD!

 

[moonslav59]

We better start turning things around...

 

...like NOW!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If they do turn this ship around, remember it was the few of us who remained on the deck of the Titanic along with the band who took our requests.

It’s amazing that the Yankees are facing tougher teams and struggling yet these clowns can’t take advantage. I know tampa is a good team but you’re at home.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It will be very difficult to turn this sinking ship around considering the iceberg, which is the BP, will still be attached.

[a700hitter]

Someone needs to do a thread for the second game.

[d-money]

Yankees losing. Geez this team is s***ing the bed.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Which one?

Our boys. Chance to creep closer and nada.
