6/23 BJ'S @ Boston

[YastrzemskI]

This team leaves way way way too many man stranded. Unreal.

 

The story of 2019 thus far.

[jung]

With the Jays coming to the plate if there is one thing I have been impressed with in their case is there ability to lay off high heat. Almost nobody seems to be able to lay off high heat. For some reason the Jays seem pretty selective in that regard.

[vegasbob]

Bogeu and JDM hit the 2 softest balls of the year stranding the runners again. Martinez hits shots one day and bouncers the next, but rarely both on the same day.

[d-money]

Those 2 runs look like 11 so don’t give up anymore.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

For the SOX RISP quickly converts to RIP.

[YastrzemskI]

Good pitch by Porcello.. laced into centerfield though.

[vegasbob]

Well

- Tellez makes a turtle look like a sprinter. So no matter where that bunt attempt ended up HE was not going to end up on 2nd base.

- He is one of if not the best power hitter the Jays have batting against a RH pitcher with 2 out and nobody on.

- if he succeeded it would have been two out with a "runner" (pardon the overstatement) at 1st

- giving up the strike didn't hurt him in the end because he is that good a hitter which is sorta' my point

 

Not a critique of your correct point, just an indication of how boring this Red Sox team can be on some days. Nothing good going on at Fenway-----yet.

I swear it happens every week with this team. Men on base or even bases loaded and then a weak ass hit for easy outs.

[jung]

I would still love to see the ERA starters have established against our club this year. I suspect it is some UGLY looking number, at least ugly for an offense.

[YastrzemskI]

Come on guys.. let’s smack these birds around.

You have to show up for this. This team looks like it’s lazy and uninspired.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

OB is just infatuated with strike outs. The same way I was once infatuated with Angie Dickinson.

[oldmaninthevegasdesert]

got to love a line up with Nunez hitting 5th huh?

 

big rip to right

Because of Holt's fragility, I would never ship him via UPS.

[jung]

Geez I looked up at the screen too quickly as Nunny stepped in and seeing what was the score box, I thought the Jays "2" was in the OUTS box and immediately flashing through my mind, "how did I miss that".

 

The scary part is that my mind was not willing to rule out that we had somehow been recorded for two outs that quickly in the inning!

[vegasbob]

Well you know....its Holt....two weeks on three weeks off. Three weeks on, 6 weeks off....like that. Love the guy. But Mother of God.

 

It appears the lightning has struck Holt's left leg and like the "day to Day" status of Devers starts looking more like a week, except for the PH'ing, the very short bench gets a little shorter. Haven't seen a word on Moreland for quite awhile too.

give it a moment, the vision will be true

[TylerD]

I’m scared to play the Yankees. I would love nothing more than to destroy them but man they are making home runs look like child’s play lately. Kind of need these easy series wins right now. Losing to Toronto is not ideal

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

NESN should do a piece on the futility of developing pitching in the SOX organization.

[vegasbob]

An urgent update from Jamaih on Josh Smith's life story ??

[TylerD]

Did JBJ even try to swing? He looked unmotivated to even be at the plate. Pathetic.

[oldmaninthevegasdesert]

at least we know 6 guys have saves now

[jung]

Ever notice how the vaunted NESN booth crew is always talking about some mishmash or another entirely unrelated to the game while an opposing pitcher is just blowing us down in an inning?

[OH FOY]

In case anybody is wondering the Blue Jays are 21.5 games behind the Yankees.

[d-money]

What an awful game. All the momentum has seen to gone out the window after last night’s debacle.

I saw some of the Skank/Astro series... the amount of 320 ft HRs is sickening. A pop fly is a homer in the Skankee toilet bowl of a stadium.

that is how I was with them from 62-66, I was under the impression the yankees always scored 15 runs

Amen on a Sunday. Maybe Moon could give us a 15 year history of every pitcher who was drafted into the organization and which coaches/managers were responsible for developing them.

[d-money]

This team needs a kick in the nuts. This is embarrassing.

Should take all of 5 minutes.
