8/14 Sox @ Yankems

[illinoisredsox]

It's about getting better for 2021 and beyond.

 

Nothing personal about Workman. He's a good pitcher.

 

I was responding more to the OP's second sentence.

[illinoisredsox]

I'm not sure, did JD strike out 4 times on 12 pitches tonight?

[vegasbob]

I hear their looking for a Brazier burger chef at the Dairy Queen. Can someone get Ryan an application?

 

Don't wait for the deadline. It's fire sale time. Get what you can and let's move on.

 

I'm ready to start the "A Realistic Look at 2021: Part I."

 

IT is not too early, Moon. Lot of movement needed from the manager, coaches, through about 40 guys on the real roster.

I think dumping salaries and trading away those few good players we have would make this team much more consistent.

Pitching is crap. No chance this year. Maybe they play .500 if DHern and Taylor come back to full health, but that won’t be for a while. They’ll need to be worked in slowly.

DHern and Taylor would make you a .500 team? Really?

[a700hitter]

Only the Pirates are worse than the Red Sox who are playing at a blistering .300 clip. What an embarrassment!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Anyone gonna start a game thread or should we just continue with this one? There's plenty of unused pages still left on this thread.

[jacksonianmarch]

f*** it. Stay here.

[jacksonianmarch]

Btw, Eovaldi’s K rate is the highest of his career. If he keeps the K rate up, keeps his BB rate down and can stay healthy, he should be able to be dealt off without the Sox eating any money

[jacksonianmarch]

Urshela has been amazing. 2019 isn’t looking like a fluke

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I'm obviously not a Yankem fan, but I can guarantee the Yankem organization would never field a team as embarrassing as the one the SOX have now.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If I was a Yankem fan, I'd be pretty concerned about Paxton.

[vegasbob]

Eovaldi is a special case of pitching with two outs. Workman was a real treat last night too

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Our 'Ace' is giving up the long ball tonight. Our 'Ace' would actually be a #4 on a real pitching staff.

Hey, Vegas. I guess we can stay on this thread until the end of whatever this is.

[TylerD]

We are blowing a lead

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stunning.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

We are blowing a lead

 

 

 

Stunning.

 

Actually, it is quite stunning because normally the SOX don't have a lead to blow.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

2018 seems like a hundred years ago.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The BRUINS with their #1 goalie opting out yesterday and their top scorer still not playing because of an injury he sustained while celebrating game 1, were still able to win today.

 

GO BRUINS!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

In the words of Rask. "Tuukka myself out of the PO's."

That was excellent !. I only hope Rask and/or his family actually have a situation worth his bailing out. He wasn't all that great in the round robin. But i5rt leaves the B's with no real backup, except a guy that has never played in the league

[vegasbob]

Sure would hate to lose this game 4-3. Somehow have the feeling that it won't end that close.

I believe Don Sweeney is looking for Tim Thomas as the back-up for Halak.

The SOX are due for a close loss.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The more the SOX play, the more the value of their tradeable players lessens.

[Larry Cook]

For the first time since last season, Dever’s seems to have his swing back!

 

Let’s home it stays for the rest of the season.

[vegasbob]

Bot6tom of the 6th will be the inning where the winner of this game is determined. if Eovaldi gets them out only down 4-3 the Sox will lose.. If it goes beyond 4-3, then the Sox will lose. Never give up there is always the chance of an earthquake.

[vegasbob]

You could smell this excitement coming in the 6th

Even if there is an earthquake, Vegas, this game is official.
