8/12 SOX @ Indians

[Tedballgame]

I wonder how many players have hit more two hoppers to the second baseman than JBJ?

[jung]

If I were the pitching coach for either one of these guys I would have already lost my mind and been beating them with a stick in the dugout.

 

In fact, I fully expect Willis and LaVangie to simply agree to switch and coach the other guy for a couple innings because WHY NOT!

 

MLB PITCHING SUCKS now.

You'll have to check with MOON on that one.

[jung]

New plan for Erod. Four seams at 93 right down main st.

Well, you've given me JBJ's new nickname GRASSHOPPER.

[TylerD]

Throws a crappy changeup. E Rod doesn’t have it tonight

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I don't believe the 'beard' look is working all that well for the SOX this year. I recommend the 'penis head' look.

[jung]

Guardians are going to get a hold of one of these FB's and send it to Mars.

[jung]

Well now we have a shot in this contest of pitching futility because their idiot has to come out and pitch again.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That was Houdini like. If only he could make his pitch count disappear.

[moonslav59]

Another 5 runs allowed by our starter.

 

I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but with ERod pitching, I had some hope.

Hey, Jung, having checked my astronomy chart, it appears MARS would be in foul territory tonight.

Jeez Xander

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Sometimes you just have to give credit to the outfielder. Perfect throw.

[Swiharts Ghost]

Well this is kindof it isn't it ? Win this series or pack it in for real.Win tonight may crack open door .Not a well coached team though .

[fxkatt]

Five Starters in the AL this year under 3 ERA: Verlander, Cole, Morton, Minor, and our man Miley. Wonders will never cease! It can be done.

[Swiharts Ghost]

Bruised thumb ? That's catastrophic for a batter

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

A lot of MLB throwers could make it big in Cricket.

[jung]

Oh man...that got the big bone of the hand and that carries an aftershock to it that is almost as bad as taking one in the nuts.

[jung]

Kinda be surprised if Perez stays in this game. That is going to hurt more 5 minutes from now and its going to hurt more 5 more minutes after that.

[Swiharts Ghost]

I litterally hate this teams baseball IQ maybe the dumbest players ? Coaches ? We have ever witnessed .Dave Dumbo still sticks with a bullpen catcher as his pitching coach .Disgusting year .

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Anyone on the mound with an ERA over 4.50 should be referred to as a thrower and not a pitcher.

[fxkatt]

Most Red Sox teams, even the really losing ones, have shown more zest and fight than this 2019 version. I guess this is what comes from winning it ALL (not much left in reserve).

I remember the year Pedro led the AL with an ERA under 2. Clemens was 2nd with an ERA over 3. This was at the height of the steroid era.

[Tedballgame]

At least E-Rod has kept it close after giving up the 3 run jack. This would be a miracle win.

[Swiharts Ghost]

We need better coaching how the hell do you not lay a bunt down two on no out ?

[Tedballgame]

Minor league team near me, the Clinton Lumberkings are having Denny McLain bobble head night this Friday. Last pitcher (and no one will ever do it again) to win 30 games. He will be there to sign autographs. He pitched there in 1962. He won 30 games when pitchers pitched deep into games and didn't let crappy bullpens (like ours) blow wins for them.

[Swiharts Ghost]

T off on their pen

Were they playing with a 2019 ball that year? I vaguely remember that big discrepancy between Pedro and the rest of the AL.
