9/1 vs Atlanta

[mvp 78]

Weber v Anderson

[vegasbob]

Too much info , MVP . Lighten up on the electron usage.

[vegasbob]

Yairo Munoz at DH ? What am I missing here?

[vegasbob]

How would you like to see the world through Joe West's eyes or be behind him in a buffet line ?

[TylerD]

Down early. Shocker.

[vegasbob]

Weber has nothing tonight. Another BP game

[mvp 78]

Weber: still sucks

[vegasbob]

Wonder if Benintendi watches Verdugo at leadoff or anywhere in the lineup and says to himself, " I wish I could do that?"

[vegasbob]

Arauz is a f***wit at second

Weber has absolutely sucked as a starter in the first inning; he’s been halfway decent when coming in as a long reliever. Perhaps he should be the bulk guy following an opener.

Who knows? For whatever reason, Beni can’t hit lead off. He sucked at it last year and he sucked at it this year.

Weber can only pitch decently when the Sox are behind. Even if he has to put them behind himself...

It's an odd perpetuation of a trend going back to Jon Lester's days where Red Sox pitchers struggle in the first, as if they were not properly warmed up or realize that the mound is different than the pen. Anyway, Ryan has stabilized and kept them in the game

In a take off on Coo;l Hand Luke, "What we have here is a failure of confidence"

[Thunder]

Our pitching has looked halfway decent this series. Where'd the offense go?

Munoz, Lin and Arauz are in your lineup, among other things

[mvp 78]

No Stock next year, ok?

[vegasbob]

No Stock next year, ok?

 

Kramer says, Sell, Sell, Sell !! Stock is a total mess. I realize that winning this season may be a moot point but Roenicke let's these meatballs roll out there aND PUT THE GAME OUT OF REACH

He ugly too

My lineup? Am I the skipper now?

[Larry Cook]

I wish we had some idea into the thinking that Roenicke does that goes into the pitching rotation and lineup configurations.

 

I am absolutely convinced that Roenicke is so far out there that he can not see the shoreline anymore!

Pitching rotation? Right now, he’s got 1 guy who’s actually a starting pitcher in Perez, and he’s a 4/5 type starter.

 

Line up wise he’s also not dealing from a position of strength either.

 

What would your rotation be? What would your lineup be? Step up and be the manager.

[vegasbob]

Kyle Hart, another 27 year old barely scuffling along in baseball, on the mound in Fenway Park with no way to finish an inning. Roenicke lets him just keep digging the hole. Guys like Hart , Leyer and Stock should not even get an ST invite

[vegasbob]

Have a nice evening , this is truly unwatchable. Hart is hopeless as is Roenicke for leaving him out there to throw Braves BP

I agree with Roenicke here. Hart can take the pounding. He’s goes out for the 9th as well.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Well, Thunder, you do have a pitching staff made up of Gilligans.

A three hour torture.

[TylerD]

Glad we put up a fight.

Tyler, sarcasm will not be tolerated on game threads.

The FO is reportedly somewhat calling the shots when it comes to limiting the number of innings of the relievers who will be with the team next year. So Roenicke has to put these other guys in there.
