5/11 vs A's

[TylerD]

What a crock. Everybody has ups and downs. Dalbec had a huge 3 run dinger and 1 or 2 other hits the other night and is still below the mendoza line.

 

Tonight Bassitt was terrific. He had good stuff, hit his spots, and had a catcher who knew what to call for.

 

I didn’t say he didn’t have a good Night. He was excellent, but he also held the Sox to three hits. Detroit had 5 hits against this team, Baltimore had 8. All I am saying is he is hittable..... this isn’t deGrom here. Sometimes the bats are cold, and clearly ours are. Two nights in a row we have been. It happens.... but he definitely pitched a great game. I’m not taking that away.

Man it’s not like Bassitt is some amazing pitcher. He’s hit table as proven by his ERA. he was good tonight, but we sucked too.

 

Bassit's ERA coming into this game was 3.70. Not great, but not terrible, either.

One more time. I'm not saying Bassitt is a great pitcher all the time, just that he was great tonight. He had 10 K's and no walks. But those two WP's in the first cost him a run.

Ya I looked at his stats after I posted that, he has been pretty solid. Hasn’t given up more than 2 runs in his last 6 starts or something. Pretty solid. Regardless...... holding us to 3 hits isn’t good. Only one other team had less hits than us. Doesn’t help that we only put up 1 run last night too.

Damn, I hate when SOX batters roll their wrists. Nothing good ever comes of that.

You're a great fan, Tyler, but some days are diamonds and some days are shite.

Has Chavis lost weight?

Where is the legendary power of Cordero? How long will they let this experiment go on?

Until Kike or Arroyo come back. I think he ends up in AAA once one of those guys return

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Funny how the longest shots by weak hitters are always foul.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Until he hands over those explicit pictures of John Henry.

[Maxbialystock]

Like that splitter.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Has Chavis lost weight?

 

I don't know, but he deserves another start tomorrow.

[Maxbialystock]

Like that splitter.

 

But not up in the zone.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Almost a web gem by X-Man.

[Maxbialystock]

Two K's and a single off the splitter.

Until Santana is ready.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Until Santana is ready.

 

That name sounds familiar.

[Maxbialystock]

Verdugo, JDM, and Bogie in the 9th. Diekman is not the A's closer, so I guess he is in to get Verdugo. No?

[Maxbialystock]

Man on.

[TylerD]

Come on. Make this count.

[moonslav59]

Now,let's see if we can turn a leadoff walk into a run.

[moonslav59]

Ouch!

[Maxbialystock]

Diekman got the call, but I think he had JDM's number anyway.

[Maxbialystock]

Both JDM and Bogie have made tentative swings.

[Maxbialystock]

Now that's interesting.

[moonslav59]

Come on Devers- don't leave it up to Vaz.

[TylerD]

This is getting a bit hard on the nerves lol. I love endings like this

 

Unless we lose.

[Maxbialystock]

Now that's interesting.

 

But Devers' last two swings were not, unless your an A's fan.

[TylerD]

Brutal. See you tomorrow.
