That’s not a catch

[jacksonianmarch]

You gotta challenge that

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

That’s not a catch

 

Bounced off the heel into the web. Out.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Yeah I’m about to see what this Kong/Godzilla is all about

 

 

The biggest rivalry in CG.

It doesn't matter...

[jung]

Mother of God

[jacksonianmarch]

So it wasn’t a catch. Inning still rolling

[SoxHop]

Bad News Bears

[jacksonianmarch]

Yanks not doing much better. King in, lead off walk then a single. He’s a head case and I’m expecting the wheels to fall off

[Jasonbay44]

Alright I’m out. Josh Taylor should be released after the inning

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

We're saving our best relievers for Tampa. They're defending champs, after all.

[jad]

Just remember, as we were told in another thread "intelligent" RS fans support all the moves Bloom/Henry made. So now we just need to have them explain to us how we are supposed to appreciate the nuances of this team. (I think I am simply insufficiently conversant with dWAR and fanGraphs to really understand what we have here.) Edited April 4, 2021 by jad

Are we saving our best offense for them too?

[jung]

Is it possible that they think its still Spring Training? They LOOK AWFUL!!!

[MANNYHOF24]

After 20 years of kicking ass the last year has been rude as a Boston Sports fan. We had it coming I guess.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

No way! Bloom has control of years of Taylor -- even if Taylor has no control of innings of pitches.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Bad News Bears

 

 

That would be the BRUINS as of late, except for yesterday.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Good one.

[harmony]

Today is likely the low point of the 2021 Red Sox season.

 

Better days lie ahead.

[a700hitter]

Ya it’s beyond pathetic. This offense is just dead

The pitching is going as I had expected it would go— both the non-existent rotation and the pig pen. The fielding has been no surprise either. The lack of hitting had been a surprise, but they will hit— just not enough to overcome the pitching. They got a good jump on my predicted 90 losses, although I did think they would finish ahead of the Orioles.

[a700hitter]

Richards has not pitched in a full season since 2015 and he got banged around in ST, so there is no reason to expect much from him. Taylor is a pile of trash. But let’s get all excited about Garret Whitlock. LOL!

[jacksonianmarch]

Whitlock gained velocity post TJS

[Jasonbay44]

The inning is over!

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Dead ball double

[redsoxrules]

It's runs Remy, Not POINTS!

[jung]

Looks like they are struggling to muscle the ball out of the infield!

[MANNYHOF24]

That ball by Kike looked like it should have gotten over the left fielders head. Seems like the new ball is having an impact already

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

O's have outplayed the Sox in every facet of the game... but that's to be expected from the top team in the bigs (currently tied for best winning percentage in MLB).

Looks like they are struggling to muscle the ball out of the infield!

 

I should have been more specific here. Looks like WE are struggling to muscle the ball out of the infield!

WE are struggling not to change the channel.
