07/16/19 Blue Jays (Waguespack) @ Red Sox (Cashman)

[Station 13]

Has the Jays pitchers only face the minimum??

[a700hitter]

Encarnacion with 2 HRs last night and another tonight for 28 this season. That is the move that DD should have made. He has had a couple of shots at that bat.

[Station 13]

Betts just let two balls thrown right down Broadway go by

 

For a non strikeout hitter, that's gotta rub his manager wrong.

[Swiharts Ghost]

Vaz just lets it go through the 5 hole .

Where would Encarnacion play here?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

As Devers offense improved so did his defense. This hasn't been the case with VAZ.

So you know for a fact that neither of these guys are going to make it to the majors? Why on earth would you further weaken an already sucky farm system by throwing gasoline on a burning house? Its pretty clear that this team is going nowhere; they aren't going to turn it around. They are chasing too many decent teams. Once I have determined that I made a bad investment I NEVER invest more money in it. Like I said, it is what it is.

 

The way I see it, the main problem in the first half was the SV%. Geez we are the worst team in that department. Give me an average SV% and we were fighting for the division.

 

DD addressed that by adding Cashner and moving Eovaldi at closing. IMO it can't be worst than we have seen in the first half in that regard. Also we are still in the mix for a WC spot, and it's not like CLE, OAK, TB, etc. don't have issues.

No, The Sox do have a run.

[notin]

I think we should have been SELLERS...not BUYERS.

 

Agreed.

 

Dombrowski should sell and resign..,

For the record, Eovaldi is not the closer yet

 

So other than give promises, Dombrowski has done nothing for the Sox bullpen all year other than add Colten Brewer...

Love Both these players and want Vaz to become elite at calling games .Both Men Love Boston and that is palpable.

yeah but I have understood he's going to take that role soon, isn't he?

[Swiharts Ghost]

Cashner had a good bounce back inning there .Kindof impressed with that alone .He may have some guts after all

[Swiharts Ghost]

We need and another bat so bad .

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Speaking of baseball cards, I have the 1961 YAZ rookie card in mint condition. It was TOPPS #287.

[jung]

Ah yes...the starter death march to 100 in 5 is obviously on track no matter which one of these guys wearing Red Sox starts.

 

Amazingly, Erod.....EROD for God sake seems to be the only starter that can beat the death march this year.

[illinoisredsox]

In what position? Who are you replacing? Who are you giving up?

[TylerD]

In what position? Who are you replacing? Who are you giving up?

 

Ask Ortiz to come back. Simple.

[Swiharts Ghost]

Explain what happened there ?

They are all ahead of us, and they are all better than us. We are not going anywhere with the kind of pitching this team has. Losing to teams like the Jays is just inexcusable, if it happens. Same with Baltimore. And we haven't proven we can beat any decent team out there.

[Swiharts Ghost]

In what position? Who are you replacing? Who are you giving up?

 

We need a power hitting left fielder .

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

s*** call. Martin and Weaver would have raced out of the dugout on that, but WTF just meanders out there like it's an ice cream social.

[illinoisredsox]

Explain what happened there ?

 

The umps somehow missed the fact that the ball hit Benintendi’s foot. You can’t fake that reaction.

[a700hitter]

s*** call. Martin and Weaver would have raced out of the dugout on that, but WTF just meanders out there like it's an ice cream social.

Gil Hodges would have walked out with ball with shoe polish on it.

[illinoisredsox]

So who are you trading to get one, cause you aren’t getting one for just Benintendi.

[d-money]

3 scoreless innings against a pitcher that came in with an era over 4.

[a700hitter]

We need to hit their bum of a pitcher.

[illinoisredsox]

Gil Hodges would have walked out with ball with shoe polish on it.

 

 

I remember that in the 1969 World Series. Cleon Jones, wasn’t it?

[a700hitter]

Yep, and Clendenon hit a HR right after Cleon took his base.

[a700hitter]

Bats are in a slumber tonight.
