8/28 SOX @ Colorado 8:40PM EST

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

E-rod 15-5 3.92ERA vs P. Lambert 2-4 6.40ERA

 

 

Hopefully, E-rod continues to be the ACE of the staff. I believe he's accepted the fact that he's a very good starting pitcher.

[TylerD]

Kick his ass sea bass!

[Slasher9]

another win? yes!

[Thunder]

If we can finish this week strong, we should still be in a pretty good spot as it relates to the WC race. Tampa is in Houston now, and Oakland is heading to the Bronx this weekend

[TylerD]

Alright I’m here. Let’s win.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Swing along with Mitch.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Great play by Devers. Inspired by Nolan.

IMHO there are few things in baseball any prettier than a 3-6-3 Double Play.

All DP's are pretty when it's the other guy.

I understand the unbridled optimism. But a little dose of reality: we are SEVEN GAMES in the lost column behind the last WC spot with just 29 remaining. If the A's just go 17-14 we would have to go 22-7 just to tie-without Chris Sale. That is just not going to happen. We aren't mathematically eliminated yet, but the season is over.

It's ususally interesting when SOX face throwers with ERA's over 5.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Actually, this rag arm on the Rockies has an ERA over 6.

Reality sux; that's why we watch millionaire baseball.

Colorado has 3 very good everyday ballplayers, which is 2 more than Baltimore, KC, or Detroit. Edited August 29, 2019 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

This is JD's 32nd game in the OF.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The Rockies are about 20 games under .500, yet they lead the NL with a .284 BA with RISP. Obviously, their pitching problems outweigh the SOX by a lot.

[S5Dewey]

Pedey for hitting coach!!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Note to SOX: Avoid hitting the ball towards 3rd.

Pedey for pitching coach. The hitting is fine.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

JD is definitely on a late season tear. That ball was opt(ed) out of the park. Edited August 29, 2019 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Getting the Rockies' feed and was informed the chances of the SOX making the PO's is 3%.

[TylerD]

Low scoring game.

[TylerD]

4-1. There’s some run support.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The SOX drop-off in the standings from last year is about equal to Betts' drop-off from last year.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

X-it stage right!

[Station 13]

juiced ball + thin air = match made in heaven

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

A bad thrower will be bad either very early in the game or a little less early in the game, but he will be bad.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

juiced ball + thin air = match made in heaven

 

You need to add lousy thrower to the equation.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

There's definitely more throwers in baseball than there are pitchers.

BomVAZtic! 400 foot single.
