7/20 @ Baltimore

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

This is a historical pounding. Or should I have said hysterical?

[oldtimer]

Same dreadful pitching, whats the difference with our hitters tonight? Were they just worn out from playing and making the trip down?

[jung]

See now why wouldn't MLB adopt my idea. They have every other half assed gimmick under the sun. Wouldn't it be more fun to see Yankabonehead just drop through a trap door right off the rubber almost like the clown at the carnival dropped into the dunk tank. Yaka would fling his arms in the air in shock. His mitt would probably fly off his hand and that is all that would be left on the mound....his mitt and his cap. Edited July 21, 2019 by jung

Getting Baltimore feed and just learned that over his last 51 games JBJ has a .291 BA.

No. They actually faced a good pitcher last night. There's not a whole lot of them, but there's still a few decent pitchers in MLB.

He doesn’t deserve the W. Pull him

He doesn’t deserve the W. Pull him

[Jasonbay44]

Why? Because he is having a good game tonight? Since June 30 he his at .218/.586 and for the season .230/.715. I wouldn't mind seeing him go this offseason if we can upgrade in the OF. I would not release him, but I don't think he is all that valuable.

If you want to upgrade on him? Sure, but selling low or releasing him would’ve been moronic. There is no outfield on the team or in minors who represents an upgrade over JBJ

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Davis owns POR. I don't believe he owns anyone else.

So good, you said it twice.

[Station 13]

He is s***

[Jasonbay44]

Way to go Rick! You will get a well deserved W!

Maybe Moon could help on this question. Has there ever been a CY YOUNG winner with a lifetime ERA OVER 4.20?

I just checked. Rick's career ERA before this game was 4.32.

[TylerD]

POR has a lifetime ERA of about 4.20. This isn't like Bob Gibson imploding.

 

Fair point. This year is ugly though. This stretch for him is awful.

[vegasbob]

Enjoying a family function so just checked the score. The 16 runs are much appreciated. Porcello's performance, almost as bad as Price's last night. 11 hits, including 3 HR's , 6 runs in 5 innings on 99 pitches. Good luck looking for that next contract , Rick

He does have a talent for receiving a lot of runs when he starts. Sometimes it's more than he gives up.

Rick's thinking of a career in ballet. Btw, did anyone notice that there is a ball in ballet? Also, there's no "I" or "ME" in ballet; strictly a team sport.

I was thinking more like vendors.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Great play by Holt. He's gonna play himself right out of the line-up.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

How fragile is Eovaldi's arm? Well, he not allowed to shake hands or give high 5's with his pitching arm.

I agree. I'd be shocked if we re-sign him, which is really sad bc he's one of my favorite Sox players ever
