6/19 vS The Twins

[Swiharts Ghost]

Groove one

E-rod didn't help his ERA, but he has gone 7 and for that he deserves much credit.

 

Fairly amazing comeback within the game. Erod always tantalizes with what if, but has trouble getting it going. Tonight he came around nicely, and got big support.

If I'm holt I'm swinging for fences here

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I didn't know this, but in the minors when a game goes extra innings, each inning starts off with a runner on 2nd.

Here's a cookie

[Swiharts Ghost]

Hmmm lucky there

That still wouldn't have helped us in last night's marathon.

Great AB by Holt....

[Swiharts Ghost]

Ok we needed a game like this Thankyou poppen

[vegasbob]

Now, even a GS leaves Minnie a little short.

[moonslav59]

Holt is the man!

[Swiharts Ghost]

Chavis go big

[Swiharts Ghost]

Yup Holt has been a fantastic addition .

6 games at home before the london visit. Jays and white sox. Need to beat these s***** teams before the showdown in London.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Twins just brought that guy up from the minors. Great way to boost his confidence.

White Sox are no longer that s*****. Will they be using cricket rules in London?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Has Barnes ever pitched a full inning with under 20 pitches? I don't remember any.

[vegasbob]

If you wonder why Matt barnes draws some SMH's, it may have to do with walking guys with a 9-4 lead, using up his arm pointlessly when he can't throw a FB strike. You can love him, but not like his pitching.

Lol still we should beat them at home but we will see. This team needs to go on a roll.

Bogaerts telling Nunez, go sit on a tack, Nunie. I got this

A;ways one of my points. A Starter on a 20 pitch pace is good for about 5 innings, helping no one. It may not matter but Barnes rarely is efficient, same for Workman. Limits them to one inning and may not be ready the next day.

[Tedballgame]

They have their closer, Josh Smith, available to use.

Only about 55% strikes. Cannot pitch to a spot.

2 of 3 from the winningest team in the AL on their field, and having every chance to sweep them . That should be a good clue towards the next 6 games, although Boston has not gone nuts on other teams at Fenway

Very true. I fondly remember KOJI. It seemed like he got 3 outs on a total of 2 pitches.

Gave up a single on the first pitch, DP on the second and the third guy retired in the on deck circle. Ump called him ineligible. Inning done

SOX are 17-17 at Fenway. They've also played the fewest home games in the AL.

Exactly.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

SOX are 17-17 at Fenway. They've also played the fewest home games in the AL.

 

Unbelievably, at this point in the season, Arizona has only played 31 games at home.
