5/14 vs LA Angels

[SoxHop]

Brian Butterfield use to show up to games when I was young, it was a big thing. He'd talk to the coaches. He was a goofy baseball nerd type that no one could believe was kind of making it into real baseball at the time. He was a legend even then 30 plus years ago. Now 3rd base coach for the Angels. Maine guy

I have seen situations where players who have had prior success regain their success after a change of scenery, but I can’t remember a change of scenery helping a player who had not had previous success. It seems to be working for Pivetta.

 

IMO Bloom and his coaching team has a lot to do in that regard compadre.

 

I think this thing happened very often in TB. They fix pitching.

I miss Butter out there at third

MC HAMMER: I can't touch this.

[TylerD]

Man this game feels like it should be 8-0 Sox.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

My annual reminder that I think Trout is overrated

 

I like when you're being sarcastic.

[Thunder]

I like when you're being sarcastic.

 

This time I'm not. I never understood the hype around him. The media depicts him as the second coming of Jesus. He's good. No, he's great. His game doesn't have any weaknesses. I just don't buy into all the talk about him being the best ever

[TylerD]

Man he is strong. One handed home run lol

Not the best ever; the best now. But, one of the best ever.

[SoxHop]

Holy crap. That was a bloop hit/out for anyone other than Otani. That dude is super human.

[iortiz]

Man he is strong. One handed home run lol

 

Yeah, 0 effort at that swing.

[Thunder]

Not the best ever; the best now.

 

Tatis giving him a good run for his money

[TylerD]

We need some friggin run support come on!!!! Don’t waste this beautiful start from Pivetta

[SoxHop]

Darvish was half Iranian I think, so I could understand his height. I know nothing about Otani, there is no way he is full Japanese, or he is some kind of Japanese mongoloid. I heard Babe Ruth was kind of a mongaloid for his time, are we seeing the same thing Japanese style?

[Thunder]

Vaz beat that out? Wow

[d-money]

Just an inconsistent offense right now. Gotta win this game.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Tatis giving him a good run for his money

 

Since he first signed in 2011 thru today, Trout has a .584 SLG and 1.003 OPS. Yup, he's the best. Maybe only Mays was a better 5 tool player.

[TylerD]

Just an inconsistent offense right now. Gotta win this game.

 

Man no kidding!!! 1 run, 1 run, 1 run, 8 runs, 2 runs lol.

[d-money]

Here we go.

[moonslav59]

I’d take Pivetta out now.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Two quality starts in a row by SOX starters.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Man no kidding!!! 1 run, 1 run, 1 run, 8 runs, 2 runs lol.

 

Which number is way out of place on that list?

[d-money]

Andriese? He has stunked!

[TylerD]

Which number is way out of place on that list?

 

Lmao!

 

 

This game is scaring me

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Jerry, the 1st base coach should get some credit, also.

[Maxbialystock]

Angels look very comfortable at the plate and swinging against Andriese's pitches. Terrible call by Cora.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It's a pigpen.

[TylerD]

And that’s what happens when you fail to score runs AGAIN

[d-money]

Andriese needs to be benched! He stinks!

[Maxbialystock]

This one is on Cora. Andriese was rotten last time out.
