Pivetta vs Matz

[d-money]

Go sawx! Hopefully we get good pitching from the start.

[iortiz]

I think we did well last time we faced Matz.

 

Let’s go!

Go sawx! Hopefully we get good pitching from the start.

 

Our starters are in a funk, some for just a start or two, but still...

We need the "Big Nick" to stop the flow of hits our starters have been giving up fora week or so.

Last night was fun! I was busy adulting and didn't get home from work until 9, at which point I saw it was 5-1 and didn't bother turning on the radio. Let's do it again today! Won't make that mistake again

[TylerD]

Let’s keep it going boys!!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

As much as come from behind wins are exciting, the SOX should add some variety like starting with the lead and keeping it. That being said, I have no problem with coming from behind wins. In fact, I'm happy with any kind of win, whether it's pitching duels or slugfests. Edited June 12, 2021 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

We have been ahead after 1 inning 17 times (13-4 record).

We have been tied after 1 inning 30times (17-13).

We have been behind after 1 inning 17 times (9-8).

 

After 2 innings:

ahead 29(22-7)

tied 14 (9-5)

behind 21 (8-13)

 

After 3:

ahead 26 (22-4)

tied 15 (10-5)

behind 21 (8-13)

 

After 4

ahead 27 (25-2)

tied 13 (7-6)

behind 24 (7-17)

 

For a 35-25 team, you'd expect us to be ahead early more than behind, but 23 come from behind wins out of 35 is amazing.

The Blue Jays have some very good, young hitters. But they will have a tough time staying in the race. Whether through youthful ignorance, poor coaching or whatever , they play very poor fundamental baseball. Give them a chance and they will often beat themselves.

Any news on when Bogey returns?

[TylerD]

Any news on when Bogey returns?

 

Haven’t heard anything yet. Just checked. No update on his return

[Larry Cook]

It seems like devers hitting is negatively impacted by the absence of bogey!

 

Today the bottom third of the lineup needs to keep contributing.

[TylerD]

Wearing our classic white

 

Haven’t seen these much.

[d-money]

Need quick outs.

[TylerD]

Ugh. When you’re hot youre hot

[d-money]

Plz not this again. Come on pivetta.

[d-money]

Our starting pitching is just not good right now. It stinks!!!!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Vlad impaled that one.

[d-money]

Gotta hope our offense hits today.

[TylerD]

Our starting pitching is just not good right now. It stinks!!!!

 

Vlad is red hot too. Not much you can do when a player is that good

[d-money]

Let’s go sawx! Hopefully we can get some offense early.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Before one can say 'come from behind," the SOX will have to come from behind.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Best wishes to Jerry. Like him as a broadcaster; loved him as a player.

[Maxbialystock]

Recently it seems as though every game begins with our starter unable to get outs without runs and the other team's starter looking like--today, anyway--Sandy Koufax. Matz is a far, far cry from Koufax, but to the Sox he's not.

 

Another thing. Opposing pitchers routinely throw that high fastball with a 2 strike count, and our guys swing and miss. Our pitchers don't do that very often.

[TylerD]

Ugh hope Jerry recovers. Scary.

[Nick]

Has Kike ever gotten a hit in 1st inning?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Wtf!

[TylerD]

Ugh Vaz

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Houston, we've got your problem.
