[YastrzemskI]

Tough loss last night but we can still take this series. We are giving Minnesota more than they can handle.

 

Go Sox!

Mal, Vazquez caught 15 innings last night. There is no way he's ready to go.

Mal, Vazquez caught 16 innings last night. There is no way he's ready to go.

 

The guy probably can’t even feel his legs.

We really need someone to bite the bullet and watch a Seagal movie. Just a minute or so might be enough...

I just checked. The Sox are 13-2 in games this year in which Vazquez did not play.

[Tedballgame]

At least J.D. is not tired from running the bases last night.

[Swiharts Ghost]

How is that guy in the 3 hole ? He better understand they are not pitching him strikes .

This could be another interesting game. Gibson has the heaviest sinker I have seen since Derrick Lowe's. Its not quite as heavy as Lowes. My God in his prime did anyone have a heavier sinker than Lowe? I would not be surprised to see a lotta' weak ground balls from our hitters unless they jump on something other than that sinker.

[Station 13]

Let's go Doubront

[Tedballgame]

Wendall Kim waives him in!!!!

[Station 13]

At least J.D. is not tired from running the bases last night.

 

Bore to tears sitting the entire game

[d-money]

Will this offense score 2 or 3 runs again?

[Swiharts Ghost]

Erod is pure trash

[d-money]

Come on rodriguez . Don’t start this crap.

[Tedballgame]

You can't let a left handed batter get a hit with two outs after getting the guy at home. Horrible pitching.

[vegasbob]

I have decided there are enough people questioning Alex Cora's managing and the Pen's effectiveness, so i will focus on the hitters.

 

First, don't tell me we average 5.40+- runs per game or are scoring close to 2018's pace. That stat is skewed by blowout scores and the W-L total isn't as deceptive.

 

Second, how often in this the 75th game of the year, have the trio of Betts/Beni/Martinez started a rally in the first inning, or even worried the oppo pitcher. Not often i suspect. They are weak out of the gate.

.263-.840; .268-.773; .291-.909

[d-money]

Geez you can’t depend on this guy.

[d-money]

This offense needs to hit tonight.

ERod features 2 out lapses just as he features 2 strike lapses. Gotta' be something about the number 2.

[Station 13]

Doubront is annoying.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If Minnesota was once regarded as the Twinkies, I guess it's only fair to say that the Hostess Cupcakes are down 1-0.

[Station 13]

Take this pussy throw strikes.

[Swiharts Ghost]

Doubront is annoying.

 

lMAO sooooooo spot on !!!!!!
