Game Thread - 08/01 - Sox (Godley) @ Stanks (Tanaka)

[TylerD]

POSTPONED appears to be the key word in baseball this season.

 

I wish this game was postponed.

[illinoisredsox]

2 of those hits were due to the stupid shift.

[YastrzemskI]

PiGs is Beautiful!

[TylerD]

Question

 

Are we wearing blue all the time now rather than grey?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I assume "store credit" only

 

But only if you're wearing a mask and carrying.

The of shift hits have been numerous but Roenicke apparently likes his analytics. Glad he does, so he can use them in his next job in 2021.

[vegasbob]

It's far from too early to start reworking this roster for 2021 . In a year, which if played out, it will never be easier to reach the playoffs, they will be looking at 22-24 wins, if lucky. I do believe Roenicke will be offered up , not for Cora to come back, but to apologize for a truly lost season, especially with Erod now out for the year, and perhaps questionable in the future .

[TylerD]

We have life!

[vegasbob]

Bogie, the authentic pro on this team.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Well, Tanaka was knocked out of the game.

[YastrzemskI]

We have life!

 

With these pitchers? Doubtful.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Good to see Hawk Harrelson at the game.

[vegasbob]

Well, Tanaka was knocked out of the game.

 

Resting him for the playoffs

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Resting him for the playoffs

 

I think you're right. The SOX should rest their pitchers for the layoffs.

[vegasbob]

I think you're right. The SOX should rest their pitchers for the layoffs.

 

If 2021 even comes close to a regular season (my bet is no), you are right about the layoffs. In 8 complete games so far the Sox have used 16 pitchers already. At least 3 would have to go, plus hoping Erod comes back. A healed Chris Sale next late summer will have trouble cracking this group.

[YastrzemskI]

I think you're right. The SOX should rest their pitchers for the layoffs.

 

No question.

[vegasbob]

Other than the Grand Slam, Mrs. Godley, your husband would be winning this game. Too bad reality is such a bummer

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If you don't count that 2nd inning, Godley has been divine.

[vegasbob]

Verdugo not really showing any better promise than Chavis or Beni in terms of chasing pitches.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Too bad the SOX aren't involved in that FIELD OF DREAMS game. They could pick up pitchers like Cy Young and Walter Johnson.

[vegasbob]

Like last night, this game is still very winnable , but the lack of spark and energy by the hitters is too evident. They really don't have core of tough outs this year. Bogaerts , Pillar and Vazquez may be all there is.

[vegasbob]

Too bad the SOX aren't involved in that FIELD OF DREAMS game. They could pick up pitchers like Cy Young and Walter Johnson.

 

Or just disappear like children of the corn.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Or just disappear like children of the corn.

 

Yup, that would be another option.

[TylerD]

Or just disappear like children of the corn.

 

Yup

 

Also creepy movie.

[vegasbob]

Urshela GS's Godley , then shits on him again while stands there holding the ball with no clue, and then made a s***** throw to second when Urshela was still running and could have been caught... No wonder the hitters act like they don't care.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Gardner will always be a PH. Penis Head.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Or he could be a DH. Dick Head.

[vegasbob]

Mazza is now the 17th thrower run out there by Roenicke in the 9th game

[d-money]

This team blows! Cancel the season. That’s all.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Judge trots to first.
