6/09 Rays @ Sox 1:05 EST

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

B.Snell 3-5 3.68ERA vs. E-Rod 6-3 4.88ERA

 

 

 

 

Let's win this one.

[Thunder]

Snell has looked hittable this year. Win. Dance. Repeat. x2

[OH FOY]

Lets hope so. Cant have the Rays taking 3 out 4 here. That's not acceptable. 2 out 4 isn't much better. But at least you don't fall behind a little more.

Should be some good comments about today's lineup.

Should be some good comments about today's lineup.

 

Cora obviously REAL interested in seeing Beni face Snell today....NOT!

 

Apparently Cora thinks Marco has a better shot at hitting him or even JBJ ....Mother of God!

[OH FOY]

Not much of a sample size for Hernandez, since only 19 at bats against Lefties in the Minors this year, but he has a .053 avg. against Lefties. But prior to his injury at Pawtucket, he had a .315 avg. in 2015, and a .328 avg. against Lefties, 2016. Edited June 9, 2019 by OH FOY!

Getting back to last night, Price is 4-1 with a 1.88 ERA in his last 9 starts. 2 of his starts ended losing streaks, good stuff.

Thanks, Jung, for listing the line-ups. I've been running errands all morning and just returned.

Maybe this was Beni's scheduled day of rest game.

Let’s split this series!

Getting back to last night, Price is 4-1 with a 1.88 ERA in his last 9 starts. 2 of his starts ended losing streaks, good stuff.

 

The man has been phenomenal this year.

That's two Beni sit-outs in the last 3 games.

 

BTW, Beni is .667 vs LHPs (.647 career), and Snell is not your average lefty.

 

I'm not defending the choice, but Beni has been in a funk, lately.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Great throw by Travis. Doubt Beni makes that play.

[Station 13]

Erod is trash.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Better get one of the JOSHES warming.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

E-rod may be a #5 in the rotation, but he's #1 in our hearts.

[Station 13]

Rodriguez is becoming such a clown.

[OH FOY]

Brian Johnson started for the Pawsox, 1 inning so far, 1 hit, 2 K's no runs. Probably go longer then that.

[d-money]

Eduardo rodriguez never fails to disappoint in the big moment.

[d-money]

This team has been utter trash against legit competition. Besides Tampa have they won a series agains another winning club this season?

[Station 13]

******* starter gonna *******

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

With only 2 dependable starters and 3 dependable relievers, it's gonna be tough the rest of the way. Thank you, Captain Obvious.

[YastrzemskI]

2-0 already?!?! Wtf?!?

[d-money]

Better get those bats going today.

[Station 13]

The results never matches the stuff and peripherals. E-Rod will never escaped the 5th starter moniker

[OH FOY]

Hold them to 2 only, then we should be OK.

[moonslav59]

The results never matches the stuff and peripherals. E-Rod will never escaped the 5th starter moniker

 

His results show him to be a 3rd starter, or at worst a solid #4.

 

I think you overvalue opposing teams. #4s and #5s.

 

I'll take ERod over 90% of the league's 4 starters and probably every team's #5 starter.

 

He's about a middle of the pack 3rd starter...maybe low end.

 

The Sox are 9-3 in his 12 starts this year and were 19-4 in his 23 starts last year. Yes, he's gotten better than average run support, but it can't be all luck.

 

2018-2019:

 

19-8 4.18

 

10.1 K/9

 

1.301 WHIP

 

107 ERA+

No Devers, JD, Beni, Moreland.. damn.

[OH FOY]

I think Darwinzon Hernandez is starting on Tuesday, against Texas.
