I think the lineup should do some Damage.... but after yesterday, I’m not sure what to expect.

[mvp 78]

Need Devers to heat up and it’ll be aok.

[d-money]

Weber needs good movement on his pitches because of the lack of velocity.

[TylerD]

Here we go. Ugh.

[d-money]

Just pathetic pitching.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Clean-up bunts when guy's throwing BP spinners?

[d-money]

Get out of the damn inning.

[TylerD]

Get out of the damn inning.

 

Wasn’t looking terrible, 2 quick outs. And then went to s*** real quick.

[d-money]

Better get those bats going.

Really only the one bad pitch to Ruiz. Iglesias hit a real good pitch down and away and there was a perfect bunt.

[mvp 78]

0-2 already?

[illinoisredsox]

I was about to ask if LeBlanc pitched a game a couple years ago where he completely shutdown the Sox in Seattle but the NESN crew answered that one.

Weber almost has to paint the vertex of each of the four corners. Anything over the plate is crushable to MLB hitters, no matter the uni.

[mvp 78]

Ball 4 not close.

The Red Sox got to Wade LeBlanc six days later:

Even if they suck this year, the silver lining is we’ll get a high pick, didn’t expect to contribute and get to watch Verdugo/Devers/Chavis develop.

 

Bad baseball is better than no baseball.

 

And JBJ is just fun to watch.

[TylerD]

Ok bats. Wake up.

Agreed my man. I just hope they make it interesting. I know our pitching is a question mark, but I want to see the offense put up runs. We lost mookie, but on paper we should still have a top offense. You wouldn’t be able to tell from yesterday though.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

JBJ! Duran may steal more bases next year, but we'll be lucky fans if we ever see another Red Sox centerfielder make so many great plays again.

[mvp 78]

MLB.TV commercials are nonstop Johnny Bench/John Cena/Little Caesars.

 

There goes my lunch.

[mvp 78]

C’mon Pillah!

[TylerD]

Boooooom. Beautiful. 2-1

[mvp 78]

Vaz put a charge in that.

[mvp 78]

What happened with Verdugo there? I couldn’t hear over my daughter yelling in my ear.

[a700hitter]

Weber is a joke as a #3 starter. He is Independent League talent at best.

 

Maybe Vasquez power last year was not an aberration.

[mvp 78]

Without ERod, this is such a bad rotation. Yuck.

 

86 middle/middle. No thanks.

[Tedballgame]

This pitching staff is horrible.

My son worked for an Independent League team for 2 years. I went to quite a few games. Weber is not better than most of the pitchers I saw there.
