6/21 vS The Blue Jays

[vegasbob]

You knew the Porcello was coming. A FB/slider pitcher relying on changeups . Is this Leon's calling or Sale's slop ?

[d-money]

Lol at sale. Talk about s***ing the bed.

Idk but I don’t think sale should get a pass.

[Tedballgame]

Sandy and Nunez are two fine inspirations for kids who think they'll never be good enough to play major league baseball.

If you can catch and call a game, you don't have to hit at all. Leon is a prime example.

I don't believe Leon should be blamed for everything.

Ya he is brutal tonight.

[vegasbob]

Of course, and as usual, run support for Sale leaves little room for errors, physical or mental

[Tedballgame]

Wow.

Mookie 2 for his last 21 with RISP

40 million a year player? NOT!

[d-money]

This year’s Red Sox team is frustrating to watch. Inconsistency . That won’t take you anywhere.

[Tedballgame]

Sale is not sharp at all. Short night for him. Gasoline boys will be coming in. This has the look of a 12-3 drubbing.

[d-money]

Still early but does anyone really believe in this offense?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Sale's pitch count is making E-rod look like Greg Maddox.

As Splendid mentioned a day or two ago, this team has played the fewest home games in AL, but on the 34 they have played, they are only 17-17 and trying to go under tonight.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Still early but does anyone really believe in this offense?

 

Without Devers my belief dropped about 25%.

[Oscars]

Nunez error was costly. Sale has to pitch from the stretch. Not looking good tonight.

 

Nunez is as useless as a chocolate fireman

[d-money]

Come on score some runs!!! Make this interesting. Just embarrassing against a team that’s basically playing spoilers.

The same female fans who loved Damon's ass are now infatuated with Beni's ass.

I said it elsewhere and it was ignored, so I'll say it again here. The bullpen isn't great, but it's not a weakness. Actually, they are a bargain--the top five (Barnes, Brasier, Walden, Workman, and Hembree) are collectively being paid $5.1M and have a collective WAR of 4.2. The four starters--Sale, Price, Porcello, and ERod--are collectively paid $88M and have a collective WAR of 4.8.

 

Sale isn't Sale any more. Price has become Mr. Fragile. ERod steadfastly remains the kid with potential but no command, and Porcello the veteran with a lot of pitches, but none of them great, and must have terrific command to succeed--which doesn't happen all that often.

Must be the rabbit's foot in his pocket that gets him a hit on a popup.

Btw, you will not get this kind of info from the NESN booth.

[vegasbob]

Third inning with men on base, time to cash in but we are looking to Brock to do so. That wasn't the plan. Oh yes, missing Devers

Sale is as perplexing as JDM in a slump. He certainly is not the workhorse ace/stopper that you can count on to set the tone for a contending team.

[jung]

Strange.

 

On that note. This is ugly for Sale. He’s all over the place. Didn’t even look this bad to start the season.

 

This is the much more typical Sale blow up though. His are generally nuclear when they happen.

Not that insightful are they?

Chavis must watch a lot of Beltre videos where Adrian launched from his knees. f***ing pitch did not even reach the plate. Developing low tolerance for Chavis' non-competitive AB's, interspresed with some rockets Edited June 22, 2019 by vegasbob

So what the heck are they saying. Manfred wants to expand in the next couple years??? Where to?

 

What...so we can look at more empty seats.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

No point in throwing strikes to MC Hammer.

[royplayer]

Definitely expecting a sweep this weekend . Tonight is close to a sure thing . Vegas has odds about as big as you can get for a baseball game .

 

Never bet on a game the Sox are supposed to win.

Murders breaking stuff thrown for strikes. Murders us on everything else.

I did hear that the RAYS are looking to be a two city team--Montreal and Tampa.
