8/12 SOX @ Indians

[illinoisredsox]

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

 

No. Ever since that injury a couple years ago on a play at first, he has been very slow to cover if he covers at all.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The SOX FO should be nice to Betts and let him begin his PBA tour ASAP.

If I didn't know better I would guess that the 1st base ump needs a therapist.

[jung]

Well I hate to say it but this is not likely to work out for Erod. His change is up to about 88 mph and that is where he is throwing that Curve he has broken out. I don't think his cutter has much more velo and he is not throwing his four seam. That is too many pitches at the same velo.

Devers has become a good third baseman.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

At least E-rod only gave up 2 in the 1st.

Devers has become a good third baseman.

 

He has to be the front runner for most improved player in the AL.

[jung]

That was only a matter of time.

[Tedballgame]

Nice pitch there. This game is oooooooovah!

[illinoisredsox]

That AB sums up the season. Last year that foul tip is called and Ramirez strikes out. This year ...

[Tedballgame]

At least E-rod only gave up 2 in the 1st.

He topped that on one pitch in the 3rd.

[bmattioli]

Ugly, what's Dumbo gonna say now?

[TylerD]

Ok. Time to watch a movie

[jung]

This does not get better from here. It can only get worse until Cora gets him outta there.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Might get to see Cashed Out in this one.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

He topped that on one pitch in the 3rd.

 

I could be guilty of jinxing E-rod, but, seriously, one cannot jinx bad pitching.

[jung]

Erod tries a two seam at 94. Here....let me try this. If he thought he could throw that pitch 94 he should have broken it out before giving up 5 in 2 and 2/3rds.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Ok. Time to watch a movie

 

Major League?

[jung]

Ding ding ding ding ding....Erod at 60 for 3.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Ding ding ding ding ding....Erod at 60 for 3.

 

0-60 in 3? That's Corvette speed.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hey, Jung, I just texted DD and recommended you as the new pitching coach. DD wants to know how fast you can get to Cleveland from Toledo?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Looks like JD is looking to opt out.

[Tedballgame]

Sox do need J.D. back next year. He is a middle of the order bat. Those do not grow on trees.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Ding ding ding ding ding....Erod at 60 for 3.

 

Btw, I just noticed you're rated DEITY. I don't believe one can achieve a higher status. I'm honored to share the thread with you. Salami, Salami, Baloney.

[Tedballgame]

Vaz is slooooooow!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Unlike good defensive outfielders.

[Tedballgame]

DPs are killers and the Sox hit into a lot of them.

[Tedballgame]

Unlike good defensive outfielders.

Exactly. JBJ needs to go.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

For Moreland to be in scoring position, he would have to be at 3rd.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Brockstar!
