7/31 vs Tampa Bay

[YastrzemskI]

Dana Levangie is killing this team he has no answers for these pitchers he's destroying this staff .

 

Just look at the results. The guy is actually getting paid for this.

[d-money]

We all need to understand this .The Tampa bay Rays of 2019 are a better team and better coached at every level than the Boston Red Sox .We have a huuuuuuuge problem with player development and More so with pitching .Dana Levangie is a terrible pitching coach and to not recognize this one fact will lead toDaves and Coras demise .

 

Idk about that. They struggle against some elite team. We have made them look all world these two games.

[Swiharts Ghost]

nice pitches tonight guys ohhh everynight

[Tedballgame]

This performance, like the two before, is why DD didn't give up some good prospects to rent guys or get guys who aren't that good. This team does not have what it takes to advance in the playoffs, if they are lucky enough to get there. Right now, they do not look like or play like a playoff team. To lose continually to the low budget, small market Rays is ridiculous.

I agree about the piss poor pitcher development in the SOX organization, but to blame the pitching coach when the team's starting staff are all veterans is a stretch. The s*** performances of Sale, Porcello, and Price are on them, not the pitching coach. E-rod and Workman have the same pitching coach and they seem to be doing fine.

IMO Rick literally does not know what he can throw when he takes the mound for the 1st inning any longer, mainly because he cannot follow the approach to pitching he used for that magical 1.5 years and he can't go back to what he was before that 1.5 year run.

 

He simply was not meant to be a power pitcher and did not have the endurance to do what he did for more than a year and a half. Now he is stuck trying to figure out if he has any sort of 4 seam FB at all when he takes the mound. He fails that test virtually every time out and then he has to figure out which of his secondary pitches he can throw good enough to get through however many innings he can go and he does not know at that point which he can or can't trust. Like I said earlier, Rick is literally reinventing himself every single start. We can knock him for his performances but not for a lack of guts. I just can't imagine what that must be like.

 

Seems he is getting worse and worse whatever it is though not sure he will be able to ever reinvent himself. Maybe he is better suited for the bullpen. I dunno. But it’s fristr

[Swiharts Ghost]

Please just Pull the plug and let Pawtucket take the rest of the year

[fxkatt]

We don't have single shut-down starter. Nor do we have a genuine stopper. Case closed.

Its LaVangie's asset to coach or its Cora's overall responsibility. Rightly or wrongly one or the other is going to pay for this at season end because outside of two guys, this staff sucks. Which of Cora or LaVangie do you think it will be?

 

Correction, I forgot Erod who is having a banner year for him.

And as far as most of the SOX BP, to make them better would require a pitching magician.

Price set the tone for this series with the big egg he laid yesterday.

That’s fair but where are the adjustments for the pitchers that are struggling? All of these guys are talented and capable of pitching well but they just aren’t. I think that there is enough blame to go around.. LeVangie included.

The Bullpen Coach who we hired to teach pitching ??? Yeah that's gonna work .f***ing Stupidity

[Oscars]

DD made the right decision to not invest in the the bullpen for this team.

They are not good enough to do damage in October with this rotation due to continuing poor performance not commensurate with the back of their baseball cards for Sale, Price and Porcello.

[Swiharts Ghost]

Mike Chavis is for real he's no will freaking Midflebrooks there Moon

[jung]

Eck all humped up over a solo HR that makes the score 8-3. Sure Eck...you must have gone to the Yes Network school of broadcasting in the off season.

[jung]

Rays have gotten a lota' mileage out of Yarborough tonight. He might be at the end of his rope.

[fxkatt]

TB has 12 pitchers on their roster... 2 starters and 10 relievers. How to hell are they in the WC picture? Thay are a true low budget indy film.

[Swiharts Ghost]

Way too much pressure on this offense to score freaking 20 runs just to lose 21 20 it's unacceptable FIRE LEVAngie NOW

Because they have an incredibly gifted pitching Coach and player Development the best actually .We happen to employ nice guys who kiss our Top paid athletes asssssss

[TylerD]

Cut the lead in half.

[jung]

For all the analytical crap that rules what Tampa does, they have gotten 74 pitches out of Yarborough tonight and Cash has nobody up in his pen until Mookie's hit. This after the Chavis HR.

 

As for their starter/reliever mix, they have two more very legit starters that are on the shelf currently, one of them last year's Cy Young.

[TylerD]

Imagine if we had last years pitching

[Swiharts Ghost]

Cut the lead in half.

 

This ! These guys need to bale out another s*** start

LaVangie will likely be fired, while the SOX FO will give Cora about the same amount of rope they gave Farrell.
