6/11 vs Blue Jays

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

We need Sale back. This make shift rotation is starting to crumble

 

 

I do thank thank most of them for overachieving, but overachieving only lasts so long.

At this rate Richards should turn into a pumpkin about the middle of the 4th. Then again, he hasn't exactly been a chariot up to this point.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I wish VAZ had been the Isles' goalie in the 6th game of the PO's.

Richards making it feel like it’s the 7th inning already

The SOX are still in it. They're the 'come from behind' champs.

[Maxbialystock]

So far the Sox "hitters" look like clowns.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Dalbec bec bec bec and gone!

Bobby got us on the board !!

[Maxbialystock]

And a little child, a 6'5" rookie, shall lead them. Dalbec swings at the exact same middle of the zone fastball that Vazquez sneered at and gets a dinger.

[jung]

Stripling nodding his head like "yup...that is where pitches like that end up".

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Thanks chUMP.

[Maxbialystock]

Stripling screwed, but Richards was too a few times.

[Maxbialystock]

Hard hit, but right at the CFer. I like first pitch swings even though the downside can be a starter who goes 9 innings.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Looks like Toronto thinks there's gonna be a rain-out.

[TylerD]

Nice inning for Richards.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice inning for Richards.

 

5 pitches for 3 outs. Thanks Toronto.

[Maxbialystock]

Stripling does mix his pitches and does have pretty good command.

[moonslav59]

It seems like our starting pitchers are coming back down to earth or going through a tough stretch. Either way, it hasn't been pretty.

 

Who is the "stopper" on this staff?

Hey,Moon, can I call a friend?

Good command. I remember M. Perez having that when he pitched that 4th game in Houston.

Dalbec is swinging earlier in the count. That is how he hit the double against the Astros. For the longest time he was watching pitches over the middle of the plate and putting himself into a hole. Maybe tthe coaches have asked him to swing at any pitch over the plate and not take so many.

Anything that will bring an answer.

They won 3 of 3 against a lousy hitting Yankees team (with not great starters) and lost 5 of 7 vs. a very good hitting Astros team. And took 1 from Miami.

 

The Jays currently rank 8th in MLB in runs scored and played just 63 games. And Richards just went 5 innings, giving up just 3. He did, however, look absolutely awful in the first 2 innings, but sort of recovered.

Richards ended up rebounding decently.

[iortiz]

As ugly it could look like, Richards just gave us a chance to win —again.

This didn’t age well.

 

Richards just pitched a solid game.

Who is the "stopper" on this staff?

 

Stopper, shmopper. We came into this season knowing there would be no "stopper." The hope is that Sale will return and resume that role. Meanwhile, Cora has his work cut out for him.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Anything that will bring an answer.

 

My friend said you'll have to be patient and wait for Sale.

[Maxbialystock]

That doggone changeup by Stripling is the devil.

[d-money]

Offense non existent tonight. Not good.
