7/07 SOX @ Detroit

[d-money]

60 pitches for price. Can he even give us 6 innings? This bullpen is being worked hard. That could take a toll in the second half.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Price pitching at a 5 inning clip based on pitch count.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

One guy on the left side of the infield, but as is the case for most .230 batters, JBJ found him.

[d-money]

They should be clobbering this pitcher. Our offense looks like s***.

[a700hitter]

Our hitters are acting like they are already in the All Star Break. Come on. They should be destroying these Bengal hurlers.

[d-money]

A leadoff walk. Asking for trouble. Price has had to throw too many pitches today.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Price pitching to the Tigers like they're the '27 Yankems.

Story of this season. Inconsistency on offense.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

A leadoff walk. Asking for trouble. Price has had to throw too many pitches today.

 

Not an unusual thing for him.

[Jasonbay44]

Fantastic play by Hernandez to save an error

[d-money]

Come on price.

[d-money]

Wake up those bats! Let’s go!!!

[YastrzemskI]

The beard is taking care of business so far.

Marco reminds me of that last bite of an ice cream cone. Really delicious. Marco's the last bite from the SOX farm system and so far he's been delicious.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Bogie may have the best check swing in MLB.

[Jasonbay44]

Xander is so good

[TylerD]

4-1 good guys!

[Jasonbay44]

Good s*** Beni

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hopefully, the ASG break doesn't cool the offense down.

[OH FOY]

After the break the Sox play 12 of the next 19 games against teams with winning records.

We might just have somebody to play 2nd base regularly if Marco can stay healthy.

 

Ramirez just like every other pitcher in MLB allows X to command the entire plate and pull a pitch all the way on the outer black over the 3rd base bag. There is hardly more than one or two pitchers I have seen all year that takes control of one side of the plate or the other from hitters. They can't throw inside effectively and as a result they just let the hitters bend them over a desk and pummel them all game long.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The SOX play 3 against the Dodgers at Fenway right after the break. Based on the SOX home record this year, not sure that's an advantage for them.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Recent past history shows that this will be Price's last inning. 4 innings coming up for the BP.

 

After this game Price will have thrown 83 innings so far this year, which doesn't qualify him for official league stats.

[YastrzemskI]

Price done after the fifth?

[Tedballgame]

Too many pitches for Price. 5 innings. Gasoline Boys will have difficulty holding a 4 run lead for 4 innings. Need 5 more runs.

[d-money]

99 pitches for price. Get one more inning out of him.

[a700hitter]

Price done after the fifth?

Cora has been babying him. I am not sure when he is going to decide to ride this horse, but handing anything less than a 10 run lead to the bullpen for 4 innings is foolish. Price should be pushed to 120 pitches today. He will not pitch for 6 days after today.

The SOX play 3 against the Dodgers at Fenway right after the break. Based on the SOX home record this year, not sure that's an advantage for them.

 

It’s a litmus test for this team. This team has not shown the ability to beat great teams this year. It’s time they change that in the second half of the year. I still feel we are a good team that has underachieved.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Too many pitches for Price. 5 innings. Gasoline Boys will have difficulty holding a 4 run lead for 4 innings. Need 5 more runs.

 

Averaging 20 pitches per inning against the Tigers is not a strong game plan.

[YastrzemskI]

Josh “consistently bad” Taylor is warming up.
