7/30 vs Rays Devil

[FredLynn]

It's not a coincidence that the two teams ahead of the SOX in the AL east have a better BP.

 

There are three teams ahead of us.

[d-money]

Down to their last 3 outs. Looking like a missed opportunity again.

The ESPN play by play of the game has JBJ lining out to 3rd in the 8th. LOL. He couldn't have hit it any weaker.

 

It wasn't a pop up, so I guess it goes down as a soft line drive (radio guys described it as a very soft liner).

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Their offense is a joke but if we score 3, they score 4. If we score 10, they score 11. Sick of the rays.

 

Do we blame the Rays or do we blame the SOX pitching?

[illinoisredsox]

There are three teams ahead of us.

 

When did Toronto or Baltimore pass us in the East?

[Slasher9]

We are walking this bitch off. Book it.

[a700hitter]

Such BS with the Rays. Their lineup sucks and this bum d'Arnaud keeps beating us. Their manager is a moron makes lots of terrible moves and we still figure out away to lose to them.

[jung]

Now there was a useless stat if I ever saw one Spier.

[FredLynn]

When did Toronto or Baltimore pass us in the East?

 

Misread it. Thought it referred to who is ahead of us in the WC race.

[Slasher9]

Robot umps now

[FredLynn]

We are walking this bitch off. Book it.

 

We will walk off...no doubt about it.

[moonslav59]

Sam Travis.

 

Man o man.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

More Yosemite Sam, less Happy Feet.

[moonslav59]

Christian Vazquez.

 

Man o man.

 

(It worked for Sam!)

[jung]

Do we blame the Rays or do we blame the SOX pitching?

 

Well you have to credit the Rays for overcoming Cash...quite an accomplishment on its own merits....and then there is our $31M pitcher that can't get 5 innings. Now there is a PROBLEM!

[moonslav59]

Another hard out.

 

[a700hitter]

That was a tough loss.

[Tedballgame]

This team is sooooooooo frustrating. One step forward, two steps back.

[Oscars]

3/15 RISP won’t get it done

[d-money]

Brutal loss but not shocking from this team. Price laid an egg tonight.

[Tedballgame]

That was a tough loss.

One of many.

[DontCallMeUncleRico]

The Rays are basically the A's in our division.

[TylerD]

Unreal. Lose back to back. f*** this team. Goodnight

[d-money]

Unreal. Lose back to back. f*** this team. Goodnight

 

Frustrating season TylerD. This team is very up and down.

[d-money]

These asswipes earning the big dollars are not getting the job done. Bunch of thieves.

[fxkatt]

I'm ready for news of a Big Fat trade.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Note to Cora:

Travis is hot. Play him at 1st until he cools off. Moreland won't be missed. I can't believe I have to tell you this.

[Oscars]

Price has pitched an average of 5.1 innings per start in July with a 4.9 ERA.

That’s nowhere near good enough

[oldtimer]

brief recap

 

Price has a long 3rd inning and comes out wasted in the 4th. That is troubling

Cora leaves him in too long.

Relief pitchers don't seem to know not to walk batters or situational baseball. Keep making mistakes they shouldn't.

Many opportunities to score with RISP and less than two outs and didn't do the little things like hit behind the runner, instead maintaining a big swing.

Devers, Beni and Travis had nice offensive games.

Betts, Martinez, Holt, Bradley not contributing offensively.

 

Another tough loss against a team we must beat. Can't blame Cora a lot except maybe for leaving High Price in too long.

[d-money]

All these games are like playoff games and this team is pulling this ******** against a team they have to beat. Now they have to win the next two games.
