So here's the top of the lineup in a critical situation. I sincerely hope they all have a clue in this inning.

 

Thank you , Mookie. Guess what, just swing, dude

[Maxbialystock]

We have zero. And I mean ZERO chance at beating the Yanks right now. Keep waiting for this team to get it together and show me they belong against them. But they just haven’t. As soon as we win 5 or 6 in a row and get it going they do this. On the verge of going 3-4 in their last 7. 3 of those losses to the Jays and white Sox.

 

I don't like losses any more than you do, but before the game it was a given that the White Sox had the edge tonight in starters. ERod has been up and down like a yo-yo this year, and Giolito has an ERA of 2.87--better than any Boston starter.

 

ERod was actually pretty lucky tonight because he had no curve and no slider and relied way too much on his fast ball and cut fastball. Plus his control was off, which is normal for him.

[Swiharts Ghost]

Who cares

[TylerD]

Well this will be Erods, best year, without question....which is unfortunately, not saying very much.

 

Haha true.

 

Well mookie got one!

[oldmaninthevegasdesert]

flip flop

[Maxbialystock]

My, my, my. Mookie decided to stop taking those first pitch fastballs and actually took a swing.

[Station 13]

LMAO taking your asswipe pitcher out following the homer, keep him in you cowards

Fair point. I remember last year we could make good starters look silly though. What is our record against any decent pitcher this year? I just don’t know what’s changed. We crap ourselves against a respectable pitcher.

 

With that said. It’s 5-4. Not over yet.

[jung]

So somebody explain to me how that guy thought he was ever going to get that FB past Mookie? Does not matter how bad Mookie is going you would do just as well to turn around and throw that over the fence.

[Swiharts Ghost]

Mookie with a 2018 approach on an at bat .Dont worry though our Pen will give it right back .

[vegasbob]

Yet another example of a winnable game, need two runs and a shutdown BP. The solo HR's are amazingly consistent but don't wreck the other team.

[oldmaninthevegasdesert]

I just bet against them in years like this W.Sox tonight +153

[Swiharts Ghost]

Is Devers fast ? Or sneaky

[Swiharts Ghost]

Last year two outs didn't mean s*** to us

ERod has yet to put together a year of more than a start or two where he has equal command of his Change which has now become a great pitch for him and his slider which is now apparently in decline. Those two pitches have passed like ships in the night for Erod where optimally you would have wanted the Change to become better and the slider to have stayed where it was.

 

It is in fact so bad and such a known quality of Erods pitching that just as he would years ago, he still abandons completely one pitch or the other. The only dif is that now its more often the slider that Erod abandons completely and not the Change. Sort of amazed that this particular quality of Erod's pitching has never changed.

[Tedballgame]

Bogie smoked that ball right at him.

[Station 13]

This team is unclutch.

[Swiharts Ghost]

Mirage fools gold 2019

[TylerD]

Damn. 2 more innings to try and win this.

 

My kid s*** himself. Ugh. Lucky me. I’ll go change him.

[Swiharts Ghost]

I'd rather not make a wild card with this group I'd rather fast forward to hot stove .

[Swiharts Ghost]

Is your kid Erod ???

[oldtimer]

No crooked numbers for this team. We need the big hit and of course the relieft pitching to hold up.

[oldmaninthevegasdesert]

Erod's whole season,hard to evaluate because of the obscene run support he has got

[TylerD]

Is your kid Erod ???

 

Lmao!!!!

[jung]

Well at least we got three runs off a decent starter tonight....a rare event for us these days.

[TylerD]

10-2 Yankees.

 

Jays may not win this one.

[Swiharts Ghost]

Well at least we got three runs off a decent starter tonight....a rare event for us these days.

 

Jung WTF I'm already depressed

[FredLynn]

I'd rather not make a wild card with this group I'd rather fast forward to hot stove .

 

They really need to blow up this team. We should be sellers at the deadline...try to get some decent prospects and look for another run in 3-4 years.

[jung]

Strike 3 to Abreu from Brewer is the only kind of breaking ball you can throw trying to get a called 3rd strike with it. But the only guy I ever saw that could do that consistently, be that fine with breaking stuff was Greg Maddox who literally would carve teams up with that stuff. You came away from those games thinking Maddox was an alien from another planet.
