Rodríguez just looks awful tonight.

[moonslav59]

Bottom of SOX order is brutal.

 

Yes, that 2 run HR was brutal.

[d-money]

Gotta hold them down. He needs to learn how to pitch without his best stuff not working.

[moonslav59]

Nice!

[d-money]

Needed that badly! Let’s go!!!!!!

[Maxbialystock]

Has he had his A game yet this year? No. But we've found ways to win ballgames. It's only the 4th inning now. Why bother being a fan if you're going to give up hope when we fall behind by 1 run in the 3rd inning

 

I haven't given up, but on talksox I keep reading that ERod is the absolute ace of this pitching staff this year. I think he has that potential, but he just missed an entire season and so far has given up 7 hits and at least a couple hard hit outs to a team whose run scoring is low (19th in MLB).

[Maxbialystock]

Nice DP. Off a changeup, no less.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Yes, that 2 run HR was brutal.

 

Thank the 'blind squirrel', Moon. I'm hoping Cordero has a 'blind squirrel' moment. Dalbec appears to be afraid to swing hard.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Rangers have 5 lefties in their pen. Unusual.

[Maxbialystock]

Bottom of SOX order is brutal.

 

With 2 of our 3 rbi's, however.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I'm sticking with 'brutal.'

[Maxbialystock]

Hearn a lefty with a 6.94 ERA comes in against JDM, Bogie, and Devers.

[Maxbialystock]

I'm sticking with 'brutal.'

 

double entendre

[Maxbialystock]

Great at bat by JDM!!!!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Jim Dandy!

[TylerD]

The bats have come to play!!!!

[Thunder]

I get out of the shower and we score two quick runs? Should I go back in?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

X-cellent!

[Maxbialystock]

Three singles and a walk = 2 runs in, no one out, and Devers at the plate.

[Thunder]

El lobo esta sentando a la puerta

[TylerD]

Yes!!! You do whatever it takes lol

[Maxbialystock]

Gotta give Hearn some credit. He has pitched better with the bases loaded. He has relied on his fastball and mostly pitched it to good spots.

[Thunder]

Gotta give Hearn some credit. He has pitched better with the bases loaded.

 

No, he just faced the bottom of the order

[TylerD]

Gotta give Hearn some credit. He has pitched better with the bases loaded.

Yup. Would have liked to see some damage there. Dammit

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Yup. Would have liked to see some damage there. Dammit

 

Disappointing, but not surprising.

[Maxbialystock]

No, he just faced the bottom of the order

 

Actually, Vazquez, who has 2 hits tonight, Dalbec, who has none but does have an rbi, and Renfroe, who got the 2 run dinger.

[TylerD]

E Rod. Man he’s having a rough night.

[Thunder]

Sorry, Mr. Technical, I didn't realize that 6-7-8 was actually the heart of the order

[Thunder]

E Rod. Man he’s having a rough night.

 

Happens to the best of us

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I'm going to do some research tomorrow and try to find the average number of runs the SOX score since E-Rod's been a SOX starter. I'm guessing it's close to 6.
