5/16 vs Angels

[d-money]

Need to do more. Need shutout baseball.

[Maxbialystock]

7, 8, and 9 hitters get the first 3 hits, then 1, 2, and 3 hitters crap out. With Chavis it's expected, but not Devers.

[d-money]

Come on eovaldi. Give us some shutout innings.

[Maxbialystock]

Today we are seeing the old Chavis, the one who deserved not to start the season in Boston.

 

That said, I think Quintana has pitched well despite the hits by Gonzalez, Plawecki, and Arauz.

[d-money]

These other teams in our division are playing very well. We need to keep this up. Toronto has been surprising.

[d-money]

Need runs here! Come on.

[d-money]

This offense doesn’t have it today.

[Jasonbay44]

I had no idea JD Martinez had an arm like that

[Maxbialystock]

I had no idea JD Martinez had an arm like that

 

He's always had a good arm and not much range--perfect for LF at Fenway. We've seen him make some good throws from RF too.

[Maxbialystock]

Still a good at bat, 11 pitches, by Gonzalez.

[Jasonbay44]

The bottom of the order is having some good AB

[Maxbialystock]

Bottom of the order comes thru again.

 

Chavis can be expected to K, but Devers too? And no help from the 3, 4, 5, and 6 hitters either.

[Jasonbay44]

Plawecki and Arauz came to play. Here comes Chavis to strike out on a high fastball

[Maxbialystock]

So, 1 out, 1 on, and we are back to the execrable top of the Sox order--so far, anyway.

 

Me, I would have left Quintana in, but the all-seeing, all-knowing Joe Maddon is bringing in a fresh arm, who promptly got screwed on the sinker.

[Jasonbay44]

Good s*** Chavis. My s*** talking worked

[moonslav59]

Good s*** Chavis. My s*** talking worked

 

Why is he leading off.

 

LOL

 

We’ve all been there, Jason.

[Jasonbay44]

Devers!!!!

[Maxbialystock]

Thanks, Joe, very much. You have given the Sox top of the order new life because, no doubt, your computer told you to never, ever let a pitcher go thru the order 3 times.

 

Joe Maddon ties it up with a 3 run dinger by Devers!!!!!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

DEVERS DEliVERS!

[Thunder]

After all these years of screwing us over, Joe Maddon finally throws us a bone

[moonslav59]

Just like that!

 

One swat by the man child,

[Jasonbay44]

Devers up to 34 RBI on the year already

[Maxbialystock]

Why is he leading off.

 

LOL

 

We’ve all been there, Jason.

 

Nah. Joe Maddon worked that particular piece of magic by pulling Quintana.

[Thunder]

Rafi is only one behind Judge, Haniger and Acuna for the league lead in HR

[Jasonbay44]

This pitcher for the Angels is not fooling anyone.

[Jasonbay44]

Hell of a performance by Siegers

[Maxbialystock]

I used to not like Maddon because of the sneaky stuff he pulled. But now I'm beginning to like him. That was such a great move to get rid of Quintana.

[Maxbialystock]

This pitcher for the Angels is not fooling anyone.

 

This pitcher for the Angels is a gift from their idiot manager.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

6 foot, 10 inch pitcher. TIMBER!

[Thunder]

The real mistake there was throwing something low to Chavis
