8/12 SOX @ Indians

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

E-rod 13-5 4.17ERA vs Z. Plesac 6-3 3.13ERA

 

As the interest wanes on this .500 ball club, the OP's appear later and later.

 

SOX have one thing going for them tonight. It's a road game.

Normally I say “we got this”

 

But I don’t think we got this today.

Owings in order to play Sunday in place of Betts had to take a 5:00AM Sunday flight to arrive for 1:05PM game start. According to Cora, it was imperative that Betts have a rest Sunday or he would have died.

Betts did appear later in the game and he didn't die.

Although he was caught dead attempting to steal 2nd.

Adding to the excitement, the game will be televised on ESPN.

I was in error in the game thread for the Owings game. I said he was in Detroit and flew back to Boston. NOOOOOOOOO....He was in Toledo! TOLEDO, OH!!!!!!. WTF Cora.

I believe Owings was flying on MUD HENS AIRLINES.

Good god. Here we f***ing go.

[Tedballgame]

This is a dead team walking.

I don't think we got a game in this series.

0-2 on Santana and then walks him on 4 straight non-competitive pitches. The homer wasn’t a bad pitch, barely in the at the top of the zone. Reyes is huge.

[Oscars]

The Sox starters truly stink in the 1st inning

[jung]

Cashewnuts has been sent to the bullpen. Geez, don't they have enough problems without being inflicted with that guy.

[Tedballgame]

Some life!

Well I have noticed that guess what.....Erod is now suffering the same fate as Porcello. Erod can't get his Four seam FB up out of the zone any longer either. Couldn't last start and can't today either. Top of the zone is not good enough. Its meat up there unless you have got 96-97 and even then it might be meat.

If Chris sale pitches like he did last time maybe we have that game lol.

Well we got one run back at least.

[Tedballgame]

What a weak swing by Vaz.

[Tedballgame]

Man on 2nd, no outs and three terrible ABs.

[illinoisredsox]

Cashewnuts has been sent to the bullpen. Geez, don't they have enough problems without being inflicted with that guy.

 

He’ll take Weber’s place as the long guy; I would only use him in a game where the Sox fall behind by several runs such that if he’s terrible it really wouldn’t matter.

 

I hear Eovaldi will pitch in an opener role Wednesday.

[TylerD]

Francona looks mean lol.

It's actually the Beard Pen. Btw, I don't think Weber can grow a beard, which will cause him to be ostracized by the other hillbillies.

nibble nibble nibble....Did somebody say this was our BEST starter? Mother of God.

The competition is quite poor.

[Station 13]

Does E-Rod ever make it an effort to cover 1B?

Apparently he has to find his compass first and then if he reads it correctly, he might make it to 1st base.

Not on purpose !

My bad. Actually, they're quite rich.
