7/31 vs Tampa Bay

[Thunder]

RHP Andrew Kittredge (1-0, 3.05) vs RHP Big Dick Rick (9-7, 5.55)

 

Tonight's a must win. Put it in the books. Today is the first day of my football season, as I am back at school working with our football team on their first day of practice. Last football season we won the World Series... Just sayin'

 

Win. Dance. Repeat. Don't get traded

[TylerD]

Get it done big dick Rick!

 

Bad news Andrew Luck was held out of practice with a sore knee. Grrrrr. Hope it's just a caution type thing and not a sign of things to come.

That was some nice randomness..

At this point I'm also watching for personal records. Devers is poised to take over the batting average lead in the AL.

I used to live and die by batting averages but these days prefer OPS even though the silver sluggers still go to the best BA's.

 

This year Devers and Bogaerts are leading the Sox in most batting stats: average, dingers, rbi's, total bases, doubles--but Betts ain't giving up in the runs scored department. He has 98, which leads MLB. #2 is Devers with 88, and Bogie is tied for 3d with Bellinger at 85.

So disappointed with the FO right now.

Gotta agree with the "must win" comment. Time is running out, and Oakland is now 2 games up on the Sox for the final wild card--and the Guardians are 2 up on them. The Rays are 1.5 up on the Sox. Sox have 54 games left.

Meh. DD also didn't get rid of anyone. This current team has pretty much the same people as last year's winners of 108 and 11 of 14 in the postseason who are also being paid more than any other team in MLB.

So now the question on everyone's mind is who will it be? Who will be the guy(s) that step up in our pen? Who will make a stand and make management look good for NOT striking a deal for additional arms? Who? Hembree? Walden? Barnes? Workman? Eovaldi? Brewer? Wright?

Management better be writing their pep talks.

Hopefully he can. Eovaldi needs work. He hasn’t looked good so far

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Stephen Stills said it best "Love the one(s) you're with."

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hey, Rick, try not to give up any Prices.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Astros getting Grienke makes them, imho, the favorite to win WS.

[oldmaninthevegasdesert]

Today is just more proof, that the talking heads don't know squat, as the pitchers who were supposed to be traded, are still in New York and San Francisco, and a lead off double smh

I lean to the Dodgers

Sure does

[dannycater]

Didn't take long on Porcello to cough up a run, as usual the biggest problem with Sox--SP

[Station 13]

Porcello 5.58 ERA seems very low for such a garbage pitcher

[TylerD]

Did porcello give up a porcello? Just got home.

[oldmaninthevegasdesert]

No, double and single

[d-money]

If they lose tonight forget about playoffs. Sick of this team’s inconsistency.

I spoke too soon

[TylerD]

No, double and single

 

Now he gave one up.

[TylerD]

I spoke too soon

 

Lol!!!

[jad]

Glad he got those frustrations out between innings.

[d-money]

This is getting ridiculous. This team makes the rays look like a slugging team.

[dannycater]

At least Rick has figured out his problems, and is confident that...he f***ing sucks Edited July 31, 2019 by dannycater
