May 7 Red Sox (ERod) @ Orioles (Harvey)

[moonslav59]

Keep the mojo risin'!

 

ERod looking to get back on track.

 

The bats seem to have woken up, a bit.

 

Some players dinged up. Will we see a roster move before game time?

[Thunder]

Eddie against the Orioles? Music to my ears

[TylerD]

Chavis??

[TylerD]

Game night. Whiskey night!!

[Thunder]

It amazes me how:

 

1) We still have the best record in the league, given how "ugly" the nature of our last 7 games have been

2) There seems to be much more parity so far in the league than in year's past. Dodgers aren't running away with it; in fact, they are leaking big time oil right now. No team was better than 18-12 in 30 games for the first time in about 20 years, and all the last place teams (except Detroit and maybe Minnesota) aren't that far behind yet. Pittsburgh is better than expected so far, as is Baltimore and Colorado. How long will they stay in the realm of relevance?

 

A Baltimore win tonight means nobody in the AL East is below .500.

@JoeyMacHockey

Michael Chavis and Jett Bandy will join the Red Sox’ taxi squad in Baltimore.

Why are you like this?

Lmao

With E-Rod starting tonight the pattern has been that the SOX offense will put up some crooked numbers. Edited May 7, 2021 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

Why are you like this?

 

Looking at the world from only one perspective is lame

[Thunder]

Looks like we may start about an hour late. Nasty line of storms moving through the beltway this evening

[moonslav59]

Looking at the world from only one perspective is lame

 

What if your one perspective is that one should view the world through many perspectives?

[Thunder]

What if your one perspective is that one should view the world through many perspectives?

 

Well that leads us to a paradox, since I would identify that as my predominant perspective

[moonslav59]

Then, basically, you are now calling yourself "lame."

 

LOL

[notin]

Looking at the world from only one perspective is lame

 

Then at least add the proper addendum and know your audience. Like:

 

“A Baltimore win coupled with a Yankee loss means the Yankees are still in last place on May 7th.”

[Thunder]

Then, basically, you are now calling yourself "lame."

 

LOL

 

Wouldn't be the first time

[Thunder]

Between now and 8 PM, there will be approximately 0.2 inches of rain in Baltimore. Doubleheader Sunday?

We call those sprinkles here in Texas.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Watching the Cubs game and noticed that Baez is the RH version of Devers. Ferocious swing.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Also noticed that low BA's are the rule not the exception. Cordero has a higher BA than Heyward of the Cubs.

[moonslav59]

Lowest BA with 30+ PAs:

.078 Rios (60)

.083 Jansen (66)

.087 Taveras (50)

.088 Campusano (38)

.091 Ford (38)

.098 Miggy (67)

.100 Joyce (38)

.103 Rooker (30), Tom (36)

.105 Robertson (43), Casali (46)

.108 Hilliard

 

34 hitters between .111 and .159

 

83 hitters below .190

 

104 out of 367 hitters with 30+ PAs are at .200 or lower! 28%

 

88 out of 338 hitters with 40+ PAs are at .200 or lower. 26%

80 out of 309 with 50+ PAs (26%)

17 out of 147 with 100+ (12%)

Very excellent breakdown of the below average season of hitting so far this season. Thanks for going the exrra yard again, Moon.

It doesn't make watching Franchy, Bobby and Hunter any easier, but we are not alone.

[TylerD]

I’m smelling a victory tonight folks

 

Actually it might be a fart I’m smelling. But still!

[moonslav59]

1. Marwin 2B

2. Verdugo CF

3. JD DH

4. Bogey SS

5. Devers 3B

6. Vaz C

7. Renfroe RF

8. Cordero LF

9. Dalbec 1B

 

Does this mean Arroyo & Kike are both hurt?

 

No roster moves, today?

It was a smelly win last night, too.

They must both be DTD. I think Kike may be headed for the IL, though. Unless one of them goes to the IL, or we send a pitcher down, there can't be any roster moves

[Thunder]

If somebody could update me when they have a scheduled start time, that would be great. Since I don't have NESN or Twitter anymore, I'm pretty much in the dark

Yep:

 

[Thunder]

When he comes back, I would like to see Verdugo leading off
