June 16: BOS (Richards) @ HOU (Anderson)

[moonslav59]

Who-da-thought with the pitcher batting 9th and Dalbec in the 8 slot, our 8-9 slot would go 3 for 8 with 6 rbi?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Moon, look who showed up.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Devers does half-way web gems.

[Nick]

Was it Jim Kaat of Twins who used to pitch 2 hour games?

[redsoxrules]

Devers does half-way web gems.

 

Yup, every time. He needs to work on his throws big-time

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

SOX need a taller 1st baseman.

You do know that our 8th batters are ranked #1 OPS in that hitting slot in AL. And Dalbec leads the way.

I wouldn't be surprised if Devers' future is DH.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

A nicely done relay play.

[redsoxrules]

Thanks acuna. Bonehead play

Lots of guys did.

Yes, thanks to your post, earlier.

[moonslav59]

A win is a win.

Acuna is a great talent, but that was some bonehead baserunning. Edited June 17, 2021 by a700hitter

[iortiz]

Acuña showing he is still a rookie. No needed to go for 3.

 

Sox win a very weird series.

 

Let’s go!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Ah, another boring come from behinder. What's that 24 now? 10-2 in interleague play and also the best road record in MLB.

[Nick]

Wow, after 4 hrs, you get that running blunder by a Brave. I'd be so pissed. Good for us though.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Oh, and 1 game behind the Rays.

[Nick]

Do we have any pitchers left?

[Nick]

Robo Ump needed....the ump just made up calls throughout the game.

Well, it did take a perfect relay to get him out, so I'd give some credit to the SOX defense, which has been rare of late.

[Tedballgame]

2 exciting wins in Atlanta. On to Kansas City. I will be there Saturday and Sunday. Go Sox.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Day of rest for the SOX and Moon tomorrow.

So we're not going to be in Houston? Just disregard the thread title and enjoy the games.

Here’s one for you.

 

May 1, 1920, the Boston Braves and the Brooklyn Robins played to a 1-1 tie in a game that went 26 innings and was called due to darkness.

 

Pitchers Joe Oeschger and Leon Cadore both went the route in a game that was nearly equivalent to 3 full games and lasted 3:50.

I watched that game on channel 38. I'm really old.

Was that Curt Gowdy’s first year with the Sox broadcast team or Ned Martin’s?

[TylerD]

Do we have any pitchers left?

 

Lol no no we don’t

 

This offense has been awesome though.

[moonslav59]

Do we have any pitchers left?

 

Did we have any to begin with?
