7/3 @ Toronto

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

VAZ is not only hitting mistakes he's also hitting pitcher's pitches.

I went into shock when I saw Sales still on the mound to start the 6th. I can't think of a word that would fit Coa. Idiot? No. Just not capable.

 

What happened was predictable. TOOTALLY predicatable. Maybe Axen simply has blid spots.

 

I'm fast losing confidence in Cora. This was inexcusable!

[YastrzemskI]

Looks like I may have to start a Chris Sale Performance Thread after this one.

After the 2 out bloop single to Tellez was when Cora needed to pull him. Not just hindsight---but cumulative experience watching Sale with 2 outs for several games now.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The Jays can hit; what they can’t do is pitch.

 

I'm not sure a SOX fan at this point should be dissing another team's pitching.

He’s supposed to be the Ace of the staff. A leader. He threw his arm out at 85 pitches? Maybe he should have gotten a blanket and a pacifier after getting out of the fifth.

[Station 13]

Nunez? Good for a first pitch in the dirt chasing pop up.

[vegasbob]

3 run tater from Nunez ?

[YastrzemskI]

Cześć Chavis! Runners at the corners

[FredLynn]

Brilliant move by Cora, bringing in the incompetent Nunez to replace the hot hitting Holt. Just stupid.

[TylerD]

Nunez can crush this and take the lead.

That's tough call when a team has a BP purchased at Filene's Basement.

We have to be consistent. It's referred to here as a WTF.

[FredLynn]

Like Cora shouldn't have seen the Jays bringing in Hudson.....just stupid.

[iortiz]

Can someone explain how's Nuñez better than Holt hitting here?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nunez has a slugging percentage of .572. Er, what's that? Sorry, that's his OPS.

[Station 13]

f*** you Cora and Nunez

[iortiz]

Brilliant move by Cora, bringing in the incompetent Nunez to replace the hot hitting Holt. Just stupid.

 

yeah it was stupid.

[TylerD]

We are seriously going to lose to this scrub team again. Lmao.

[Station 13]

Trash at bat by Betts.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Betts' Agent: "Mookie, you should have taken the SOX offer."

 

Betts: "Are you kidding? Some moron GM will offer me 300 million."

 

Betts' Agent: " Yup, you're probably right."

[TylerD]

Cora overmanaging

 

He’s getting desperate. Probably wasn’t expecting our Ace to s*** the bed yet again.

[YastrzemskI]

He’s getting desperate. Probably wasn’t expecting our Ace to s*** the bed yet again.

 

Agree. He’s pressing a bit. He shouldn’t have pinch hit for Holt there. Oh well.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

He’s getting desperate. Probably wasn’t expecting our Ace to s*** the bed yet again.

 

No one expects the Spanish Inquisition.

[bosoxmal]

Now we see Nunez hitting for Holr> I know isR/L crazy, but even this was too much.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If Betts does get 300 million and Harper already receiving over 300 million, than Mike Trout is definitely underpaid.

[Station 13]

Nunez got dirt on this front office.

[YastrzemskI]

If Betts does get 300 million and Harper already receiving over 300 million, than Mike Trout is definitely underpaid.

 

It’s funny. I was comparing Bogarts’s stats with Harper’s today. LOL!

[d-money]

6 outs remaining for this team.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Another case where the SOX BP seems to perform better when the SOX are behind.
