6/13 vs Walker Texas Rangers

[Station 13]

Let him face Nunez you cowards

[Station 13]

It's quite amazing Nunez gets to pinch hit so often. On off days JDM and Betts don't even get a crack at it.

Losing 6-1, went out and mowed lawn. Came back in, 6-6. Good comeback. Need to finish it.

Nunez didn’t swing at the first pitch. Miraculous.

[vegasbob]

f***ing dammit. Did we really need to use Nunez as a “pinch hitter”

 

Agreed. We will need him as the closer later when the pen runs dry in extras. But I hope neither occurs.

On a personal level, i never advocated releasing him. I think they would need to get some discernable value for him. he was shopped this ST, and no one valued him enough to make a deal. I do think he will be shopped heavily, probably as a package before they pay him $9MM for 2020

Trading him in the off season is a different debate and I can respect that opinion, especially with him due for an extension soon and his value being hard to judge. My post was targeting the people who legit wanted to DFA/release him last month.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That was an unproductive out. Thank you, Captain Obvious.

For all the joking about the relationship between Cora and Nunez, it is actually amazing Alex's reliance on a marginal guy. But look at the whole bench especially with Moreland/pearce out of the picture.

[Jasonbay44]

I don’t understand why Nunez, one of our worst all around players, gets so many PH opportunities

Can you cut your lawn during all SOX games?

[Jasonbay44]

Mookie seems to be taking a ton of walks lately

LMAO we're in the bottom of the 6th after 10 PM

I didn’t get off work till 9:20. Was there a rain delay or something?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Credit where credit's due. Helluva play by Odor.

Helps with the OBP which in turn helps the OPS which in turn helps the 2021 contract negotiations. But much better than an out. Not Mookie's fault, but leaving an opening double from JBJr at second is a real shame in a tie game.

or something.

Because if he pinch hits, he only goes 0-1 instead of 0-4.

2nd most in baseball. He isn't getting anything to hit.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

or something.

 

Pitches, pitches, and more pitches.

Only twice a week.

Yep.. Beni should have had a base hit there.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Only twice a week.

 

Can't reach the PO's with that schedule.

[vegasbob]

i can't say Workman has been anything except effective all season, but reiievers who live and die by the curve ball aren't usually dominant. No wonder He needs a clean inning to allow for the BB

Appreciate the kind words. Having people to talk to about the Sox, especially when they're struggling makes the season a lot easier to deal with this.

I'm fine with walks, the guys behind Mookie, when he's walking, need to start making these pitchers pay.

[Tedballgame]

That was a duck snort.

[vegasbob]

Damnable shift on O'Door burns the Sox. Watch Workman's pitch count when it hits 20. Ok, It's only my pet theory .

Here comes the dogshit BP working their magic.

The bullpen is the reason the game is close
