7/28 vs NY Mets

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Well, the other guys are the opponents 100% of the time so there's the difference in Pesky pole HR's.

 

I'd love you to do my taxes.

We start the game with hall! We all know he is terrible then he validated our worst fears and pitches like trash! So just when we think it can not get worse.... we bring in Brice! We all know he is terrible then he validates our worst fears and pitches like trash! So just when we think it can not get worse..... we bring in brewer!! Aaarrggghh! I now know what happened to all the unemployed clowns after ringling brothers circus shut down..... Hang’em Chaim is paying them to pitch for us this season!

 

Let’s not pretend the pitchers have been rocked this evening. Hall gives up a ground ball single to where the 2nd baseman traditionally plays. Cespedes gets hit by a pitch that just nicks his elbow gear. Yes, Cano hit the ball hard. The walk hurt because it was followed by that jam shot blooped into right. Brice gives up the doink off the Pesky Pole. The Mets dont have a lot of hard hit balls tonight, but they’ve hit balls in perfect spots.

Let's not pretend that we have rolled out quality pitchers to the mound tonight.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

60 game sprint and the Sox started with their shoes tied together.

 

Well for some good news, there won't be an all-star game.

Nice stop by Chavis to put a finger in the dike

True, but the pitching has been better tonight than the past 3 games. Not great, but better.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I saw where the Nationals are playing 15 of their first 18 games at home.

Big bad Brewer saves his bacon

Did you see that MLB has decided that the Yankees get to play the Orioles instead of the Phillies the next two nights. They get their favorite whipping boys 12 times now instead of 10.

The powers that be will be making new rules as the season drags along.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Keep the line moving.

[TylerD]

Hey we got two neat.

So the Molotov cocktail is half-full and not half-empty.

We all knew this staff would be Risky Business.

Rutherford: "You've done a lot of solid work here, but it's just not Ivy League, now is it?"

Tom Cruise: "You know, Bill...there's one thing I've learned in all my years. Sometimes you have to say, 'What the f***.'"

[Thunder]

Actually a smart play by Beni. He knew the ball wasn’t caught; he messed up the Mets by going. All they had to do was make the toss to first to complete the DP. He got the Sox one anyway.

 

Yeah, he got us that run there. We would have walked away with nothing were it a tradition 4-6-3 DP

Pillah and Vuhdugo are fun to watch.

[Thunder]

Verdugo has the energy of a Big Papi and Pillah plays as hard as Pedroyer

[TylerD]

Pillah and Vuhdugo are fun to watch.

 

Most of these guys have been fun to watch. We might not be getting the runs , but we are tied for first in hitting. If the pitching gave us a chance we would be dangerous. The offense is still very good.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The elephant in the room isn't the SOX offense.

[illinoisredsox]

Which if the Mets ss has played it correctly it would have been.

If the SOX had won this game 1-0, Beni would have been promoted to player/manager.

A 1-0 win is a pipe dream with this pitching staff

EO looked great in Game 1. He could do it.

[vegasbob]

Colten Brewer showing some competency out there over almost 3 innings. The bats who somehow may be at or near the top of the heap in non-relevant BA need to come around. be encouraging to overcome the cheap shot runs by the Mets

[Thunder]

EO looked great in Game 1. He could do it.

 

I'm encouraged, but not yet convinced. Bigger test will be tomorrow night. It was the Orioles after all

With a 162 game schedule there would be a slim chance. With a 60 or less game schedule, fugghetaboutit.

Ice cream out of the carton and whiskey. How you doin?

Take out the whiskey and that's my kind of night. That's my cheat day, not just something for when I'm depressed

[mvp 78]

Does Beni still have options?

[vegasbob]

Does Beni still have options?

 

Yes, he can retire or just wander off and not be found
