June 15: BOS (ERod) @ HOU (Davidson)

[moonslav59]

Oooops, again!

 

Continuing the wrong team listed mojo, in hopes I can repeat Max's 9 gamer.

 

We are facing Atlanta with a start time at 7:20.

 

Tucker Davidson is a lefty, and no Sox player has more than 1 AB vs him.

 

Erod gets the start for the Sox- I think. We will be playing our 15 consecutive day. (We have this Thursday off.)

 

Let's keep the mojo risin'.

My wife and I are in “Houston” visiting our son and his fiancé; we will be at Truist Park tonight.

Wrong team mojo only works if the team listed is worse than the actual team we're playing.

[TylerD]

We had a pretty nasty stretch with Astros Series, Yankees series, Astros again, and then the Jays. We went 8-6 (one game with Marlins in there as well) Not bad at all!!

 

We have a pretty beatable Braves team now, and then the Royals. We can really take advantage and get some wins here before we play the Rays and Yankees again.

I don't remember if the FAQ mentions this.

We'll find out.

 

Of course, everyone that takes over the game thread, does so after a loss, but my record, so far has been 4-1 (1 v DET, 4 @ BAL), 5-1 (4 v NYY, 1 v MIA, then a loss v HOU)and 1-0 my three times doing game threads.

 

Keep the mojo risin'!

 

I think only Max has a better record.

[TylerD]

Ya Moon has been solid this year!

 

I don’t think I have had more than two wins lmao….

I'm the K-Hern of leading off game threads.

I'm the Nate Eovaldi. Certainly not bad, but not usually anything to write home about either.

Ya I’m not very good at all lmao. I have zero mojo

[TylerD]

Will miss a big chunk of this one, going out for supper!

You need to convince the wife that those early bird specials will save you a bundle over the long term.

[d-money]

This needs a good road trip before next week where they take on the rays and back home to face the Yankees.

[Thunder]

If the Braves can keep underperforming, that'd be great

[Thunder]

Glasnow is done for the year. Gotta think we can win the East now.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Toronto playing Yankems in Buffalo, which, like all of upstate NY, is Yankem fan infested.

[moonslav59]

That's what the Yanks thought, when they traded Snell.

[Thunder]

Well, I'm sure they also thought they would be 40-27 (or better) at this point. They're not, we are, so we have a better chance

[vegasbob]

That K by Xman shows exactly how difficult MLB pitching can make it for any hitter.

[moonslav59]

Devers forevers!

 

Lock him up! Long term.

[Oscars]

Devers doesn’t need the pitch to be a strike to hit a HR !”

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

DEVERS DEliVERS!

[moonslav59]

Renfroe gone hunting.

[moonslav59]

Devers doesn’t need the pitch to be a strike to hit a HR !”

 

Ain't that the truth!

[Oscars]

Some breathing room for the struggling EROD

[d-money]

Need ERod to throw strikes and have a quick inning.

Can’t be to sure with him.

Their pitching is still pretty good. Idk.

They always find ways to keep doing well.

 

Counting on Rich Hill to step it up may be too much to ask. These numbers do not look too easy to beat:
