9/3 v Twins

[vegasbob]

Just another hole digger of a start by a Sox thrower who cannot get his stuff ready in the pen. And Randy Dubblebubble shuts down the mighty offense. Been gone for awhile but ready to cheer the 8%'ers on to the WC round.

Better inning so far for Rick

[jung]

Rick is showing immense courage tonight. Threw a Change 3-2 last inning. Pumped that nothing four seam right down Main St figuring he could get away with it after throwing two straight Curves and got away with it.

He won’t see anything more than 5 tonight most likely.

We are ALL showing immense courage tonight by watching him pitch.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

For better or worse at least POR is available every 5th day and takes complete responsiblity for a bad game. I'll give him complete credit for that.

What costs 13+ million a year and takes 9 months of vacation ? Moreland and Pearce.

[Tedballgame]

If Moreland had done his job and moved the runner over, the game would be tied. Poor situational hitting again.

[Tedballgame]

Robbed of a hit.

Moreland has all he can do just to try to make contact. Hopefully we can get rid of him next year too.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I hope the SOX can go back on the road before they're completely out of it.

[vegasbob]

If the Sox can go 15-10 to end of September , a .600 pace, they can finish with 89 wins. That a mere 19 short of 2018 . Maybe time to take a longer look at the Astros plan for longer term relevancy. Of course the AL West is a lot like the NFL's AFC East in terms of competition.

Ever notice the number of time, this year, that aguy leads off with a double and didm't score? Seems like anout 100!

[FredLynn]

If the Red Sox want to have any chance to win this they better get someone up in the pen right now.

Simple, just do not re-sign him. Sam Travis or Mike Chavis is the cheap option if you like .240+- hitters which is what Moreland is.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hard to compete with only one reliable starter. The SOX starters, except for E-rod, got old fast.

[Tedballgame]

Twins are 26-31 against teams with a winning record. They have feasted on the Tigers, White Sox and Royals. 57 games against those tomato cans.

The dreaded lead-off double.

[vegasbob]

60 pitches for 1 out in the 3rd with 2 runners in scoring position. Good work on Sano, Rick. get one more now

[TylerD]

Twins making Rixk work tonight. Wow.

[Tedballgame]

Bum hitting .260 just crushed that one with 2 outs. Wow.

[FredLynn]

LMFAO.....what a horrible useless player Porcello is

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

This will hurt POR's ERA.

[vegasbob]

2 out pitching, way to go Rick

[TylerD]

Smh. f*** you blow Rick

[Tedballgame]

Tonight they are feasting on Porcello and the Sox.

[jung]

Sano is a prime example of what is wrong with the contemporary hitter. Might as well complain about the hitters since I complain so much about the pitchers.

 

The guy is as big as a building and with the 2019 baseball all he has to do is flick his bat at the thing. Any contact on any part of the barrel and its likely gone. The absolute best way to gain a little bat control AND quicken your bat at the same time is to choke up even just a little bit. Does Sano choke up even a little bit with 2 strikes? NOPE. Lets himself get beaten by that 92 mph nothing FB from Rick.

At home the SOX are Sam Marzano tomatoes. They're still tomatoes, only they cost more.

[Tedballgame]

Sox will have to decide if they love JBJ's defense and occasional HRs over his pathetic average and on base percentage. I think they let him go.

Price, 3 more years at $32 million, Eovaldi , 3 more at $17 million, Sale, 4 more years at $30 million. $79 million a year for the next 3 years, with no possible takers for aging, sore armed/wrist/shoulder throwers. f***ing pitiful. Throw Pedey on the pile and its it's another $13+- million for the next 2 years. $92 million for players who have become marginal at best.
