May 9 Red Sox (Pivetta) @ Orioles (Kremer)

[Thunder]

No fault on Xander there. He did his part

Nothing fair about baseball. Even the foul poles and foul lines are misnamed. Edited May 9, 2021 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

Taylor pitching. Ugh.

[Jasonbay44]

Why the f*** does Taylor pitch in high leverage situations

[Thunder]

Can you throw one strike?

[Nick]

Taylor pitching. Ugh.

 

Cora was happy to see Richards go 7 innings yesterday, saying the pen is all set for today.

 

So he goes to Taylor? 4 straight balls ....nice

[jung]

Ita a good think the O's are aggressive hitters. We might be witnessing another walk-a-thon otherwise.

[Thunder]

Well that is what I call saving your pitcher's ass

[iortiz]

LOL wow Whata break there.

 

2 outs just like that.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Pitcher's favorite pitch.

[d-money]

A leadoff walk

[d-money]

Too slow lol.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Taylor's not the worst guy in the pen, although he's close.

[Nick]

get the f*** out there....3 strikes out of 13 pitches....what are we waiting for?

[iortiz]

Why the f*** does Taylor pitch in high leverage situations

 

He was lucky this time but seriously, can someone enlighten me with stats or whatever, the reason behind of this nonsense?

[jung]

Mullins should have taken the 0-0 even if he thought it was close.

[Thunder]

18 pitches, 6 strikes. Yet somehow, a scoreless inning

[iortiz]

Taylor's not the worst guy in the pen, although he's close.

 

Other than Brice, who is worse?

 

Lol he somehow didn’t allow a run.

[Thunder]

Taylor's not the worst guy in the pen, although he's close.

 

Who do you think is worse? I'd rather have Brice out there than Taylor

[Nick]

Nevermind...

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I just figured out Cora's strategy. He knew Taylor would eventually have to pitch to Mullins.

They only have one Barnes and one Hernandez....and they don't trust Whitlock yet. Frankly, they are probably not real convinced on Hernandez either.

[TylerD]

They’re both awful. Give me Sawamura over both any day or Ottavino

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I know once one starts hating on a guy it's hard to stop, but, except for Barnes and perhaps Whitlock, what SOX reliever is worth having trust in?

[Thunder]

That's why we got Renfroe!!!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

My post earlier was perfectly timed.

[iortiz]

They only have one Barnes and one Hernandez....and they don't trust Whitlock yet. Frankly, they are probably not real convinced on Hernandez either.

 

If they don’t trust in Whitlock at this point we are lost. Valdez is even a better bet. You also have Ottavino.

 

Renfroe goes yard btw lol

[jung]

Renfro having a heck of a game.

[Thunder]

Depends on the day

[TylerD]

Hunter doing it all today!! Good day for him.
