Game Thread - 08/11 Rays at Sox

[TylerD]

We are losing. Shocker.

[vegasbob]

And I missed Benintendi's hit, can't believe it.

[TylerD]

He got a hit!!!!!!

[Larry Cook]

Benintendi, Chavis and Bradley all have a hit in the same game.

 

If Martinez can get a hit, then we will truly have a rise of the deadbeats!

Watching the Rays feed.

It sounds like there are thousands of cicadas at Fenway

NESN feed is normal. Maybe the Rays announcers just surround themselves with hundreds of crickets?

[mvp 78]

Beni 2 for 2

[mvp 78]

“Arauz probably limited to 2b due to lack of arm strength”

[TylerD]

Tampa Columbus 3rd longest game in history. Wow

[TylerD]

2-1 Rays. That is the update.

[vegasbob]

Sox getting a good, 6 inning effort out of Martin Perez. The only starter into the 6th inning ?

[illinoisredsox]

Would appreciate score updates folks. A derecho swept through here yesterday and we’ve had no power/internet for over a day now. This is one of the few sites that data will load reasonably quickly.

[vegasbob]

2-1 top 7 with Brice pitching. Perez went 5 2/3rds, 90+ pitches

[vegasbob]

Not sure how many times this year Sox have been beat the oppo way on the shift. If the other team shifts on our guys, we hit it to the only guy on that side

[vegasbob]

Here's some bad news: Rays now up 3-1 on Brice in 7th (1 out) when Margot doubles over third and scores a guy from 1B . Beni didn't get to the ball real quick

[vegasbob]

Brice beginning to unravel. With no decent out pitch he gets fouled off 3 times on 3-2 by an .091 hitter, then walks him

[vegasbob]

Brice gives up a ground rule double on his 22nd pitch, with 2 strikes on the hitter . This kid has nothing , joining the long list of bullpen losers that is the broken half wheel on the Red Sox pitching caravan

He’s likely this teams third best pitcher

[TylerD]

I don’t think we are gonna win guys.

[Swiharts Ghost]

Just try to enjoy the good moments in this season we all know who they are now .

[vegasbob]

Another run, 5-1, on a high bouncer over the mound that gets no one out. Brice gets to go in the clubhouse while Robert Stock gets his Red Sox virginity popped. It is hard to describe how f***ed up these pitchers really are. Perez's good effort goes to hell in the form of Austin "Tex" Brice

[vegasbob]

Laughable---Stock goes 3-0 immediately, before getting a strike, then walking his first guy. Truly incredible incompetence

[Larry Cook]

On a positive note, Perez pitches better than I ever thought he was capable of tonight.

[vegasbob]

Stock is a joke and Beni is not all that good going back, only sliding in . There are no words to describe this debacle, so adios fans

[TylerD]

On a positive note, Perez pitches better than I ever thought he was capable of tonight.

 

Yes..... lol true.....

 

With that said. Time for me to watch a movie. What a train wreck of a game.

[TylerD]

Nightmare on elm street is on.

 

I’M IN!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nightmare on elm street is on.

 

I’M IN!

 

So, Tyler, you are replacing one nightmare with another.

[mvp 78]

Austin Brice: not good

[Maxbialystock]

Rays score 8 runs twice in a row, winning 8-7 and 8-2. Sox now have 2d worst winning percentage in MLB and the worst in the AL--with 28% of their season now completed.

 

The good news? Only 47 days left in this woebegone season.
