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

[jung]

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

 

Vino is an opponent rally waiting to happen. Valdez probably is a better bet than Taylor.

 

I am absolutely convinced that the 14 pitchers experiment is a fail. Too much chaff and not enough wheat. I would always carry another everyday player on the 2021 Sox.

[Thunder]

2 run lead is huge for Ottavino

[iortiz]

Watching Cordero trying to bunt like a pitcher with nobody on (last AB), makes you wonder why you brought this bat to the team.

[jung]

Home plate ump takes pity on Vino

[jung]

f***ing Vino

[oldtimer]

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

 

Codero is back to his 0 for days. I day of hitting surrounded by lots of 0 fors.

[Thunder]

I'm content if Ottavino gives up 1 here

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Say what you will about Mancini, but I still love his theme music to PETER GUNN.

[jung]

Five RH hitter in a row. Vino should survive this.

[TylerD]

Codero is back to his 0 for days. I day of hitting surrounded by lots of 0 fors.

 

Yup. Thought his 4 for 5 day would get him going, but not so much.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Should have kept Taylor in. Oh, well, it's a crapshoot no matter who.

[TylerD]

Jesus Christ. Here we go.

[jung]

Holy s***....letting vino pitch to Galvis.

[a700hitter]

I am starting to realize why the Yankees were willing to add a sweetener to give away Octavio.

[jung]

Ball 6 to Galvis

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

An obvious swing.

[Thunder]

He gave up 1. Like I said, fine by me. Object of the game is to score more than your opponent. As long as we do that, I don't care how pretty it is

[moonslav59]

Yup. Thought his 4 for 5 day would get him going, but not so much.

 

One game, he went o for 3 with a BB and a big run scored.

 

The next game he was 0 for 1 with a BB, so he got on base in 2 of his 6 PAs after that big game and before today.

[a700hitter]

Adam “The Rally” Otavino.

[d-money]

Need to score another run. This pen has been given up runs lately.

Baby steps.

[TylerD]

Well got out of it. Ottavino mad but he wasn’t pitching very well. In fact he was gifted with a strike that was a ball. Pitch better

 

Regardless, let’s get an insurance run.

Ya he has been pretty hopeless. It’s a shame.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That O's reliever has nasty stuff.

[Nick]

I can't believe I'm saying this but the Orioles have pretty good bullpen.

Throw strikes.....game's pretty simple when you aren't pitching from behind all the time....

Exactly!

 

Barnes to close! I am loving this new Barnes!!

[d-money]

Here we go.

[Thunder]

3 pitches, 2 outs

[iortiz]

Adam “The Rally” Otavino.

 

He said he could SO the Babe anyday of the week.
