I wonder who WTF will have pinch hitting for Brock later in the game? Probably Travis.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The OTHER JBJ in full bloom again.

 

 

Well, at least he's consistent. He does it every year.

[TylerD]

There goes that.

[Tedballgame]

Nice shut down inning by E-Rod.

[Station 13]

f*** this pitching staff

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Based on the BJ's record, the SOX have to be their favorite opponent.

[Station 13]

That HR was vaporized

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Vlad, Jr would be a great slow pitch softball player.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

f*** this pitching staff

 

It's already f***ed.

[illinoisredsox]

There goes that.

 

f*** this pitching staff

 

You were expecting a shutout?

 

Solo homers don’t usually hurt too much. It’s four bases and the pitcher starts clean. Spread those same 4 bases over 4 singles and you have a run in and the bases loaded or 2 runs in and still 2 guys on.

[illinoisredsox]

Crash Davis would have said it needed a stewardess.

[Tedballgame]

Not an All-Star.

[S5Dewey]

Just a flick of the bat!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

DEVERS DEliVERS!

[illinoisredsox]

There goes that.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

No one in baseball is hitting the ball on the screws as much as Devers.

[YastrzemskI]

No one in baseball is hitting the ball on the screws as much as Devers.

 

Or Benintendi.. (sarcasm)

I think what he was expressing is the consistent horrible performance by our pitchers (nearly all of them) and using this as an example. Your team gives you the lead and you immediately surrender it. Its the reason this team is very unlikely to make the playoffs this year. You cannot win with the kind of pitching staff we have.

Erod is not doing badly. He has tamed that Change and has it acting like he wants it to act, When you consider how poorly the rest of them have pitched, ERod looks like a Star. Edited July 18, 2019 by jung

Not sure what I was expecting just hate seeing a lead go in an inning.

E-rod, compared to the other 3 regular starters, has definitely given the SOX more bang for the buck .

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It's sad when one has to identify sarcasm. But I guess one has to now of days.

They score for him. His stats aren’t that great but they score when he’s pitching.

I was on one board years ago where to identify sarcasm one would use italics.

[FredLynn]

Bogaerts has got to make a better throw than that...mental error. Again.

[illinoisredsox]

Smoak up. He’s killed us over the years in these situations. They really needed to turn that DP.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

E-rod's PC is at a 6 inning pace.

Disagree, I don’t see that as a mental error; that’s a physical one.

 

A mental error is throwing to the wrong base or a pitcher failing to cover first on a right side grounder.

I've seen it done online by using /s/.

Or a runner trying to advance from 2B to 3B on a ball hit in front of him. (Not that I hold a grudge).
