May 6 Tigers (Turnbull) @ Red Sox (Eovaldi)

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

lot of bad hands in this game, especially Arroyo, who really does have a bad hand.

[moonslav59]

Will Taylor end up being our only Sox pitcher not to let up a run, today?

 

(DHern let up an unearned run.)

Taylor did let those 2 inherited runs score, so that hardly counts IMO

[moonslav59]

Cordero leading off until Kike comes back?

 

Is Kike out for a while?

[jad]

Well, I actually have been asking for the last few games WHY Franchy is in there. I guess today is the answer?

[Thunder]

FINALLY only 1 MORE OUT

[moonslav59]

True dat.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The guy with the bad hand has the best hands.

[Thunder]

Is Kike out for a while?

 

Not sure, but I read somewhere that if there's any strain on the hamstring, it's probably an IL trip. We've been lucky with injuries so far though

[Thunder]

He's good for a huge game every 6 weeks, and nothing in between

[moonslav59]

Just think, if we had sent Cordero down, last night, we could have seen Duran go 0-5, and the Sox lose 9-8.

[Thunder]

It's not how, it's how many. And that is a HUGE one to add to the W column!

[TylerD]

Lmao game

 

What a game. Holy smokes. See you tomorrow folks.

[moonslav59]

Ottavino for Governor!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Don't forget to watch the low lights of this game on Quick Pitch later tonight.

Too many to show

[moonslav59]

Does this mean I have to start the next game thread?

 

I'm not sure Texas mojo is a good thing.

I'm not sure Texas mojo is a good thing.

 

We won and the Yankees lost. Good enough mojo for me.

[Thunder]

Ottavino for Governor!

 

Yes! I'll be a registered MA voter in about a month

[Thunder]

It's the Orioles, without their ace. Not the worst team to test mojo against

[Thunder]

Lmao game

 

What a game. Holy smokes. See you tomorrow folks.

 

See ya tomorrow bud! Now I can finally go running. Been waiting to go since about 3

[moonslav59]

Back to +2.5 vs the Skankees!

[Thunder]

Even the ugliest girls get prom dates. Even the ugliest wins make up ground in the standings

9 in a row, baby!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I think the fans at the game got their money's worth today. It was a combination of MAJOR LEAGUE and THE NATURAL.

No such thing as ugly wins; only ugly losses.

[Maxbialystock]

Messy, but still a very needed win. Ottavino's slider/curve looks pretty good to me.

 

On to Baltimore, but a warning. In 1814 the British navy and army romped and stomped in Alexandria and DC and burnt the Capitol and the White House, but the Baltimore militia stopped them cold, plus a local yokel wrote some pretty good lyrics.

 

WEEI announcers talked a lot about Willie Mays today, and I have to admit I agree with what I think Willie said when he was inducted into the HOF: "I have to be honest and say I never saw anyone play the game better." He was beyond a five tool player and did it all with joy and enthusiasm. Mike Trout is doing a lot of the same things except the baserunning.

[Thunder]

No such thing as ugly wins; only ugly losses.

 

That's debatable. But I think we can all agree that "ugly" wins are better than not winning at all

[Thunder]

If Toronto beats Oakland, we have the best win % in the league again. How?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Just think, if we had sent Cordero down, last night, we could have seen Duran go 0-5, and the Sox lose 9-8.

 

Our 2-5 hitters need some help; if Cordero wants to provide it, I'm all for it.
