Ozuna killing the Sox

Ozuna killing the Sox

 

Well he got all of that am I right ???? That was a sweet pitch to maybe hold our spot at second to last .Dig deep men we can get Last place dig !!!!!!

[Swiharts Ghost]

Nice swing Rafy really ground that at bat out .

[Larry Cook]

Bush is going to be a complete alcoholic by the end of the month. He is going to be in rehab all offseason.

If Tom Seaver was confined at home over the past several months in California, how did Covid 19 get to him ? Family member, attendant , Rob Manfred? Who else in his circle has had the disease? Covid 19 is real but the stats attributed to it are less reliable than the Sox bullpen

[vegasbob]

Braves bombing HR's all over the yard. Is there a rule that the Sox hitters cannot do the same.

 

The pitching is incredibly bad at this level. Brasier gives up his bomb and then walks a guy trying to get the score to 10 once again.

[vegasbob]

Here's the good news. After the top of the 8th, the Red Sox have twice as many outs left as the Braves

[TylerD]

I may or may not have had the worlds longest pee.

The record is 95 seconds of continuous strong stream

[vegasbob]

I know RR has quit on them when he wouldn't at least ask for a review on Bradley's play at first. WTF did he have to lose ? A timeout, 5 yard penalty, start all hitters at 0-2 ? Oh that happens anyway, the 0-2 out of the dugout thing

[vegasbob]

Devers is a rare treat, glad we have him under control.

 

But then so is Matthew Barnes

[TylerD]

The record is 95 seconds of continuous strong stream

 

Wow

 

I wasn’t even close lmao.

[vegasbob]

9th inning Sox batters getting schooled by Melancon . What else is new? Mark aided by some s***** strike calls on Sox batters

[TylerD]

Lost. Top ten in offense still. How we are this bad with a top ten offense is quite funny actually lol.

This is supposed to be syllabus week.

 

I feel your pain.

[Kimmi]

Another Dalbec K

 

He has a 66.7% K rate. LOL Impressive first game, then nothing.

 

Of course, we are talking extremely SSS.

[Kimmi]

I find it strangely coincidental that the Sox are trotting out a bunch of new Unknown pitchers and the Taco Bell down the road from Fenway is closed due to lack of employees to cook the fake meat!

 

LOL Larry.

 

Coincidence? I think not!

9th inning Sox batters getting schooled by Melancon . What else is new? Mark aided by some s***** strike calls on Sox batters

 

Why can't we get pitchers like that?

Ump really sucked last night.

[notin]

Why can't we get pitchers like that?

 

We did trade him to get Brock Holt. I'm calling that a win for the Sox...

[TylerD]

Why can't we get pitchers like that?

 

Because that would be too easy. Imagine if we make the playoffs with this pitching staff. We would go down in the history books lmao.

[Thunder]

Why make life easy? It's less fun that way
