4/21 vs Blue Jays

Still early

 

Kind of

[d-money]

Can’t have that.

Berra once said "It's getting late early out there."

Lol. That pretty much sums it up.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The NHL has a firm salary cap that no team can go over. Would anyone here like to see that in baseball?

[d-money]

Need a run or two here. Go sawx!!!!!

[Maxbialystock]

Looking back, I have to wonder if Cora wouldn't have been better off starting a reliever to give Richards more time to warm up. I mean he had an HBP that was no where near the plate and a wild pitch that was just as bad--as well as 6 walks.

 

Pretty lousy pinch hit by Arroyo who couldn't hit that 85 mph fastball. First he looked at two right down the middle, then swung and missed at the third. All fat pitches.

A starting reliever is an oxymoron, but I think your idea is a good one.

I knew the Jays would score some runs but no way did I think we would struggle to score two through 6 against the Jays pen. Sheesh. One of those days I guess.

I was thinking this too. I honestly think we would have had more of a chance with a bullpen day. Houck goes or Whitlock goes or someone like that. Richards was decent his last two starts though giving us 10 innings and 4 earned runs so I don’t fault Cora. But man Richards is god awful. Had two average innings, but the first, second and 5th was atrocious.

[Maxbialystock]

Completely bush league at bat by Dalbec. Looks at two strikes and swings at one a mile outside that might have hit him in the foot. About on a par with Arroyo's.

[d-money]

9 outs left. Wished they had scored in that inning.

It is getting late, but they haven't turned the lights off yet.

Relief pitchers can have good stuff; just ask ECK.

[d-money]

Need to do something in the bottom of this inning. Come on fellas!!!!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Valdez has been pretty special, so far.

[TylerD]

Valdez looks new and improved this year. Man he has some nasty stuff.

[d-money]

Time to get some runs!!!!!

[Maxbialystock]

You know, it's just possible the Sox bullpen isn't awful. And my goodness what a contrast with Richards. In the most recent 13 innings they have given up 1 run.

[Maxbialystock]

Well done, Arroyo. Makes up for last time. Walk is as good as a hit.

[TylerD]

So close. Come on Verdugo

[TylerD]

Man. One of those nights. Ugh.

[Maxbialystock]

Followed by two lousy at bats by Hernandez and Verdugo.

[d-money]

Brutal. Not happening tonight. Rays winning. They’re creeping up.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

No matter how this game turns out it won't be a completely shitey night because the Yankems already lost.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

How did a SOX back-up catcher become, perhaps, the best manager in baseball?

[d-money]

Not looking good here. Brice ughhh

Btw, was Cash the first manager to employ the BP to pitch an entire game?

[d-money]

Need a good home stand against seattle.

What year was cash with us again? I can’t even remember him lol
