4/21 vs Blue Jays

[TylerD]

Not looking good here. Brice ughhh

 

Won’t win many games scoring 2 runs. Pitching wasn’t great, but the bats need to be better. Credit to jays Bullpen so far

[d-money]

Come on brice. Get out of this.

[d-money]

Well still alive! Need base runners in this inning.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

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

 

2007, 2008 and 2010.

[TylerD]

2007, 2008 and 2010.

 

Aaaaaah yes. Coming back to me. And yes he is brilliant. Definitely knows how to run a team and utilize his players. Have always respected Tampa. Not a big payroll and always competitive

[TylerD]

Ugh. Taylor warming up. We’re screwed.

[TylerD]

XANDER !!! One run to go to tie

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

X-cellent!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

86mph with movement is much better than 97mph with no movement. That's called pitching.

[illinoisredsox]

Ugh. Taylor warming up. We’re screwed.

 

You do know he hasn’t given up anything in his last 4 appearances, right? And that ugly ERA is almost entirely from that horrible outing against the O’s the first weekend?

 

None of which means anything tonight, but he’s done the job lately.

[Maxbialystock]

No lie. When my wife drops by to just check on the game, the Sox usually rally, especially during the earlier streak.

 

Last night she stopped and watched Bogie hit the 3 run dinger. Tonight I begged her to drop by, and right after she did Bogie hit another dinger.

I assume you’ve tied her to a chair?

He still makes me nervous, and he gave up a couple hits in his last two innings which isn’t the end of the world. But I would much rather see whitlock or Barnes out there. Taylor doesn’t strike me with confidence especially in an intense closing situation.

Toronto's 1st baseman should wear hockey goalie equipment.

He’ll only be in if the Sox are behind; if it’s tied or they’re ahead, it will be Ottavino.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Another opportunity down the toilet. SOX continue to refuse Toronto's help.

[Maxbialystock]

I assume you’ve tied her to a chair?

 

Nope. Works best when she minimizes her dwell time.

[d-money]

Just terrible! Now they need some magic in the bottom of the 9th.

[Maxbialystock]

Jays have the lowest team ERA in the American League, so this loss is entirely on Richards.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The only new rule that had been discussed that I actually liked was putting the pitcher on a timer. Of course, that was the one that didn't happen.

[TylerD]

Just terrible! Now they need some magic in the bottom of the 9th.

 

Last chance for us!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Last chance for us!

 

Remember the cliche that baseball is a marathon and not a sprint. Don't burn yourself out before June.

[TylerD]

This is why I didn’t want Taylor closing.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That Richards started the game and Taylor is ending it seems appropo.

[d-money]

Throw strikes!

[TylerD]

Throw strikes!

 

He doesn’t know how. He sucks.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That the SOX don't have anything at Pawtucket better than Taylor speaks volumes.

[d-money]

That’s game!

[Jasonbay44]

Why do we have josh Taylor

[d-money]

Anything is better than taylor .
