5/01 Red Sox @ Texas 7:05PM

[Thunder]

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.

 

6 more than deGrom gets

[Thunder]

Joey Gallo: Only good for walks, dingers, or strikeouts

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

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

 

I define the bottom of order as 7-8-9.

[TylerD]

So how many innings does E Rod go

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

6 more than deGrom gets

 

Hell, if deGrom got the E-Rod run support, he'd be unbeatable, even with his 'B' game.

CorderO-for-4

[Thunder]

CorderO-for-4

 

He should change his name to that

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

He should change his name to that

 

 

Perhaps he should change his sport.

[SoxHop]

Blackouts just feel like I'm being punished. I'd like to teabag the dick that thought that blacking me out from the video broadcast would make me travel three hours to see the effin crap ass Rangers.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

How about Corder0fer?

The people in El Paso have it worse than you my friend. What are they, 8 hours away? Still blacked out

[Maxbialystock]

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

 

Excuse me. I didn't know we were rooting against the bottom of the order. I'll try to remember the next time through the order.

[Thunder]

Excuse me. I didn't know we were rooting against the bottom of the order. I'll try to remember the next time through the order.

 

Who said I was rooting against them?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

And Renfr0fer.

They blackout way out in EL Paso?!?!?!?!? That even makes me more angry.

 

Well, at least they can eat super cheap tacos that are probably way better than the tex-mex stuff we get here.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Speaking of bottom of the order, in 1977 SOX 3rd baseman Butch Hobson, who batted 9th in most games, had 30HR's and 112 RBI. Edited May 2, 2021 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

6 more than deGrom gets

 

When Bob Gibson had his incredible 1.12 ERA season in 1968, the story was that, when the Cardinals scored a run, someone would tell Gibson, "OK, there's your run."

[Maxbialystock]

Both Rangers' hits off fastballs.

[TylerD]

Both Rangers' hits off fastballs.

 

They wouldn’t hit my smokin 50 mph fastball. I’ll tell you that lol

[TylerD]

6-5

 

This is brutal

[SoxHop]

I love blackouts. This is brutal enough just listening to this.

[d-money]

Just brutal pitching tonight.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

A reminder that another new rule that doesn't impugn on the purity of the sport is that a reliever has to face at least 3 batters before he can be removed.

[d-money]

9 outs left. s***** pitching!!!!!!

[Maxbialystock]

Andriese's ERA just shot up.

 

Let's hope this is a slugfest and our guys come thru. 3 innings left.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Still anticipating the '4 fouls and you're out' new rule.

[TylerD]

What a shame. E Rod was just utter s*** tonight. Generally if we score 5 or more we win. The pitching has been solid. What a brutal showing. It happens I get it, but Damn this is a series that should be a win. Come on bats, win this sucker for us.

[Maxbialystock]

Bogie is stark, raving nuts. Way to go, Bogie!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

DalbeK

[TylerD]

Bats trying everything they can to win this!
