8/08 Angels @ SOX

D.Peters 2-0 3.20ERA vs C.Sale 5-11 4.68ERA

 

 

Watching the best player in baseball will be the main (maybe only) attraction.

And I did kiss my sister (on the cheek).

Best player in MLB may or may not have opportunities to shine. I'm fine with watching the game, at least for awhile.

 

I'll repeat something I said on the other thread. I think a big part of this year's Sox pitching problem is that they have not adjusted to the semi-seamless baseball. In addition, Sale has lost steam on his fast ball.

He can still get his fastball around 95-97 but then his command is way off.... His 2 starts against Tampa and Toronto were very good but then he had 2 vert vert bad starts against the Yankees..... Maybe the Yankees just have his number this season, it will remain to be seen what Sale can do tonight against a very average team.

Trout is overrated. He's still good, but he's not the GOAT and he's not the best player in the game today. Win. Dance. Repeat

Over/under on JBj strikeouts is set at 2.5.

Loooking forward to watching trout play baseball

I assume you are being facetious.

JBJ has returned to his multiple swing problems mode. Where does the coach start.

 

I would start with his cocked head because he can't follow the ball to the plate that way.

 

Then I would try to get him to be more flexible in his lower body but not so flexible as he was in that horrid 2014 stretch when he was cork screwing himself into the ground.

 

Then I would try to get his hands back inside the baseball. He is swinging around the baseball AGAIN.

[Thunder]

I assume you are being facetious.

 

Nope. Dead serious. I've never liked him

[TylerD]

Heres an idea for Sale. Try and play good! That is all

[BOSOX11]

Sale better beat this team. I hate the Angels.

[TylerD]

Jesus Devers.

[TylerD]

Beauty inning for Sale.

He probably thinks Springer is better.

I don't remember anyone saying he is the GOAT. Please stick to the facts.

[jung]

That is the way Rafi was swinging at the start of the year. He will always be late as long as he keeps that up.

[Thunder]

He probably thinks Springer is better.

 

Well he is, and that's NOT just because Springer is my hero. If I were starting a team right now, I would take Mookie or Springer first, and then Judge and Trout, assuming we're only talking OF

I would trade Betts for Trout in a NY minute.

It said "could he become?". Far cry from saying he is.

I'm not saying Trout isn't good. I'm saying I think he's a little bit hyped and overrated. The argument of who the best player in the game is far closer than what people seem to think

No. It’s Trout.

[TylerD]

Wow back to back awesome innings for Sale. Keep it going!!

Springer over Trout?

 

By any chance, do you play Fantasy Baseball for money?

[Station 13]

Sales is making a s*** ton of mistakes that has yet to be hit.

Springer isn’t even the best player on the Astros...
