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

[TylerD]

We found another pitcher that likes giving up the Porcello's.

 

Except Porcello looks good doing it. This guy it’s nasty when he does it.

[a700hitter]

Cashner is still better than our other #5 options. He kept us in the game. He'll be better the next time. If this is his worst, I can live with it.

[Swiharts Ghost]

JD continues to have a subpar year from what is expected.

 

He's just not the guy I thought he was .We need a power hitter to help him carry that role .

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

During what games?

 

London, England. It wasn't that long ago.

[Station 13]

Hernandez is still Cashner runner isn't he if he score here.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

How does a pitcher look good giving up a dinger? If that was the case, Porcello would be the best looking pitcher in baseball.

Exactly. Do the naysayers think Velazquez would have fared better?

 

As I posted earlier, he hasn’t pitched since the 6th. That’s a long time off for a guy who has to rely on control.

Two RBI this July

 

Betts just did that tonight alone

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Sogard is dangerous.

[a700hitter]

Nice job Taylor.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Lazy effort by VAZ. He's far from being a top defensive catcher. Don't lose your bat, VAZ.

[jung]

Taylor is one of the few pitchers we have, starter or reliever that actually throws inside. Where the heck did they get him. Makes you wonder if they grew him in a test tube.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It'll be interesting to see if JD opts out of his contract after this season. Of course, that will be mute if the SOX trade him.

Giving up homers is not a big deal. These are big league hitters, they are going to hit them. As was pointed out last night, Justin Verlander leads the majors in homers allowed with 25 or 26, which is 10 more than Porcello; he has given up more than Porcello the last 3 years combined as well. The key is giving up solo shots or 2 run homers at most. The 3 run and grannies are what kill you.

 

Jim Palmer gave up a ton of homers. He never allowed a grand slam and only a handful of 3 run shots. Didn’t stop him from getting to Cooperstown.

You ever see the movie space jam?

 

Remember when he says to MJ “when you strike out you look good man, when I strike out it’s nasty man”

 

ThTs what I was going for. It failed. Let’s move on

 

Beni!!! Let’s tie this. Or preferably win this.

He said last week that he was counting on staying here. To be the next permanent DH.

[illinoisredsox]

Lazy effort by VAZ. He's far from being a top defensive catcher. Don't lose your bat, VAZ.

 

He can throw, but for a guy who works with the Molina’s, his glove work is less than stellar.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

A productive out by JBJ, which is more than the SOX usually get from him.

I've moved on a while ago.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I still don't understand why an opt out clause isn't a two-way street?

[illinoisredsox]

London, England. It wasn't that long ago.

 

Sorry, missed the word future in your OP.

[oldtimer]

Would you switch a 336 hitter with a 196 hitter just based on left/right pitcher/hitter. Hope it works.

[TylerD]

Sam Travis in!!!! This will give us the spark we need!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Sorry, missed the word future in your OP.

 

My fault. I corrected that afterwords.

[SCM33]

ugh.....why Sam Travis?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Cora doesn't give Holt the respect he's due. If Nunez was still here, he'd be batting.

[SCM33]

no reason to pinch hit Travis for Holt. Stupid managing.

[YastrzemskI]

Cora doesn't give Holt the respect he's due. If Nunez was still here, he'd be batting.

 

Agreed.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I think Travis has his own personal bus to shuffle him back and forth to Pawtucket.

[illinoisredsox]

True, Nunez would have hit for Holt.
