Game Day Thread 04.27.21 - Red Sox (Richards) @ Mets (Peterson)

[mvp 78]

I wish we hadn't traded Pillar

 

Could have re-signed him.

I:f Richards could return to anywhere near the form he had over 5 years ago, this team would be viewed as "for real" by many doubters.

 

10 Ks and 0 BBs, tonight is a nice step. His ERA dropped below 5 from almost 6.50.

 

Now, close this one out, boys!

[TylerD]

Come on Barnes!!!!! Let’s

Go.

[moonslav59]

Close the Barnes door!

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

McNeil won't be next.

[TylerD]

And that is that. Wow!! Very little offense but Richards and Barnes were fantastic as well as Andries. Fantastic game. Tomorrow will be equally as tough!!!

[moonslav59]

Barnes the Noble!

[iortiz]

We found another way to win tonight. Pitching showed up this time.

 

Great to see Richards performing like this. Very, very encouraging.

 

Let’s go!

[Maxbialystock]

A very solid win. The Mets have excellent pitching, which showed, and the Sox outpitched them.

 

Tyler D gets a pat on the back for 2 straight.

 

Plus the 2021 Sox give every appearance of being road warriors.

[mvp 78]

Good win

Richards and Andriese - thanks Bloom!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice win. If Boston is going to contend this season, these are the type of games they have to win. The bats aren't going to be alive every game. Just a great display of pitching by everyone concerned.

DVR'd this game because I watched the BRUINS beat the Pens earlier.

Some of you might call this an "ugly" win, but they all count just the same

How is a 2-1 game ugly? I'd rather watch a 2-1 game than a 8-7 game.

Multiple people on here were complaining about how bad the offense was last night. I'm in the same boat as you. I would love to see us win as many games with pitching as we can

There's a certain breed of "fan" who thinks anything less than winning by something like 8-1, with no mistakes in the field or on the bases, is not good enough.

I was just telling my wife the same thing. I do think the Mets played better defense, but the Sox made some plays--especially JDM's assist--when needed. Meanwhile, Richards had a ton of K's--10 in 7 innings--and overall the Sox pitchers had 13 K's and 0 BB's.

 

Sox are now 7-1 on the road and 8-8 at home. I wonder if they play any Willie Nelson songs away from Boston.

As for the Sox presumed weak hitting, a reminder to the whiners. The Mets have the 5th best ERA in MLB--3.17.

Those 10 Ks by Richards kept the ball out of the hands of our defenders, too!

 

No BBs is always a good sign.

 

Suddenly, our rotation looks more promising than just 2 guys and 3 prayers. Pivetta and Richards have show a lot of good signs. Perez may still give us something useful.
