5/19 @ Toronto

[Maxbialystock]

Once more into the breach, but without the bad dates (remember that scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark?).

 

I still like mvp78's thread, "Since they lost last night, I need to tell you what I REALLY feel about the 2021 Sox!" I agree: "they're pretty good actually" and "this season has been downright enjoyable."

 

But now we're 1/4 into the season and the AL East these days is the nastiest dogfight in MLB with 4 teams over .500 and just 1.5 games between the #1 Sox and #4 Yankees.

 

Last night Ryu did a great job, but tonight Richards is going against Stripling, so a real chance to even the series. Both are righties.

[Thunder]

Agreed. Great opportunity tonight. Last night's game was an anomaly in many different ways. Throw it out the window and come back strong tonight.

It's been 4 days since they've had a win!

 

[Thunder]

Imagine how scary the Jays lineup will be when Springer comes back

[moonslav59]

We have to strip Stripling of all his confidence.

 

Richards has been doing very well since his first 4 starts.

[Bellhorn04]

Probably a good chance we see both of our Garretts tonight.

[TylerD]

Go Sox!!!!!! Get er done boys!!!!!

 

And go Oilers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hernandez CF

Verdugo RF

JD Martinez DH

Bogaerts SS

Devers 3B

Vazquez C

Gonzalez 2B

Dalbec 1B

Cordero RF

 

Franchy's back!!!! Could be to give Renfroe a rest (against a righty pitcher).

[Thunder]

Glad I missed last night. Spring/summer evenings on the golf course are where it's at

[Thunder]

Some good news early: Rays already down 5-0 to Baltimore in the 2nd with Means on the hill

[Thunder]

I'll take that after the luck we had last night

[Thunder]

Dugie! Great start tonight.

[Thunder]

3-0 already

[TylerD]

Much better start !!!

[Bellhorn04]

Reminiscent of the Gioloto game.

[Thunder]

Love to see it

[Thunder]

I have a feeling the wind will carry a bunch of balls out on both sides tonight. Need as many runs as possible

[TylerD]

Amazing what pitching can do

 

We are kicking ass.

[Thunder]

Damn Franchy so close bud

[Maxbialystock]

Good grief. Amazing top of the 1st.

 

Now Richards needs to keep it at 5-0.

[TylerD]

Good grief. Amazing top of the 1st.

 

Now Richards needs to keep it at 5-0.

 

If we blow this I’ll throw up all over myself.

[Maxbialystock]

Ump sure ain't helping Richards any.

[Thunder]

Very lucky break right there

[iortiz]

Whata break there lol

 

Richards needs to throw more breaking balls and in the zone.

[Maxbialystock]

I think that out at 3b was a great dive by Devers and late signal from the 3d base coach.

[Thunder]

Richards had been pitching so well too

[d-money]

Richards has to stroke strikes and be aggressive.

[Maxbialystock]

Is the wind affecting the pitches? A whole lot of hard hit balls by both sides this inning.

[iortiz]

Richards is throwing FB after FB.

 

His breaking balls had been money for him.

[d-money]

Welp. This offense better score some more runs.
