Game Thread - 08/08 - Jays (Anderson) @ Verdugo’s Jays Daddy (Godley)

[TylerD]

Won’t lie kids, I kind of like this winning thing. Let’s go for 3!!!!!

[vegasbob]

Imagine if you will a world where the RedSox have a 2 game winning streak, where Ryan Weber was the starter and gave up a HR to the first hitter, and where the top of the lineup ( Beni, Rafi, JDM)was a combined 0-12 with 8 K's ? It shows that in the Fenway twilight zone, anything is possible.

 

These 3 guys are hitting .468 when their BA's are added together. OPS of 1.618, or .539 average. Exactly 1 HR and 6 rbi's among them.

ESPN has the Sox 6th right now in hits. Offensively this team is just fine, especially if Verdugo keeps this going. Get us some pitching outside of Eovaldi and Workman and we would be a dangerous team.

If we didn’t blow that dam lead to the Yankees we would be just a game out of a wild card spot. This team is showing some life the last three games.

This year, all you have to do is finish second to be assured a playoff spot.

 

Right now the Sox are 1 game behind the Orioles for second place. They are 2 games behind Detroit for the top wild card spot (#7 seed) and 1/2 game back of Tampa for the last slot.

Amazing.

They screwed up by not taking care of the O’s.

[mvp 78]

No matter what, I just need Eck and Remy in my daily life.

[mvp 78]

Grunt talk.

Godley has a habit that reminds me of Matt Barnes. A severe pull away to his left side , leaving the pitching arm releasing the ball high and wide, then looking down at his feet as if they were the culprit. Where do these guys come from ?

[vegasbob]

Shaw has a better OPS than JDM, Devers and Beni. Still he is a K victim of unGodley

[vegasbob]

It's not Beni, it's the leadoff spot that creates K's. The pitcher is fresh and feeling good, so down goes the leadoff hitter. And so does Ryan Weber head off into the sunset

[mvp 78]

Good play be Beni

[vegasbob]

Beni does play left field well

[mvp 78]

GODley

[mvp 78]

Beni does play left field well

 

Manny woulda had it!

[mvp 78]

At least Salty is calling in and not in the booth.

[vegasbob]

Big inning brewing with Vaz and Beni next 2 up. Let's see, hope no DP and K

[vegasbob]

Vaz sneaks it through and gets the rbi ! way to go

[mvp 78]

Vaz’s offensive improvement has been fun to watch.

[mvp 78]

f***ing Beni

[vegasbob]

Beni still slumping, going below .060 now. Easy bounce DP to 2Bman with 2 on and no outs.

[mvp 78]

K zone sucks

[mvp 78]

LOL Jays need Bobby V

[vegasbob]

Godley is getting away with some crap tonight due to good fielding behind him and Toronto baserunning idiocy by Tellez. But Godley's motion doesn't bode well for a long run after this short season.

 

Godley should buy a lottery ticket tonight

[vegasbob]

maybe Moreland can field a little at 1B

[mvp 78]

Devers needs to get it going

[mvp 78]

f*** this k zone

[vegasbob]

Ball/strike calls as bad as ever, so inconsistent
