Game Day Thread 06.19.21 - Sox (Perez) @ Royals (Keller)

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

A 6 ERA pitcher is a bum in my book, not sure in yours lol

 

Oops! I must have been thinking of Feller.

JD!

[moonslav59]

Booby Dee with like 2 triples in 10 days.

 

JD with a big blast!

 

NICE!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Btw, Keller is a good pitcher. If he was on the SOX, he'd be their #1 starter.

 

My bad. I didn't check his stats first. Forget about this, Tyler.

Evidence of this game notwithstanding. I think he is lucky to have lasted to the 5th and sure wouldn't want someone with a 6.37 ERA as the Sox ace. You may, but not me.

[iortiz]

Does anybody know why do we only wear the blue navy jersey on the road?

[moonslav59]

Dalbec has lifted his OPS to .673.

 

He's shown serious signs of turning things around.

 

2 weeks is still a small sample size, but 2 weeks ago, just about nobody was saying he deserves to keep playing.

[TylerD]

I love you Martinez!!!!

[d-money]

Nice to finally see some damn offense lol.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Oops! I must have been thinking of Feller.

 

 

As far as Devers is concerned, this is Bob Feller.

[Maxbialystock]

What is it with these very hard swings by Devers? At least once he swung so hard he went to his knee or would have gone all the way down

[Maxbialystock]

Right you are.

I've already corrected my blunder. Note to myself; always check the stats before posting.

I don't worry about Devers. He's gonna have bad days just like everybody else.

[Maxbialystock]

The WEEI broadcast team does not have access to the TV version of the strike zone that we have. So they regularly make bad calls on where the ball went. They also say that Keller is getting the corners because Perez frames the pitches so well. But to me Perez is getting as many calls as Keller.

[moonslav59]

I love you Martinez!!!!

 

He's been struggling of late. Glad to see he can help pull us out of this mini-funk.

[d-money]

Come on perez let’s not start this.

[Maxbialystock]

Nice play by Perez!

 

ERod never, ever makes a play like that because he finishes his pitches falling toward 3b. He has been known to be late getting to 1B.

[moonslav59]

I don't worry about Devers. He's gonna have bad days just like everybody else.

 

I never worry about Devers' bat.

 

He always bounces back.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If Don Corleone owned the SOX, he'd make an offer to the Royals they couldn't refuse.

 

Of course, I'm referring to Merrifield and not Keller. This is how I cover my mistakes.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I never worry about Devers' bat.

 

He always bounces back.

 

How awesome would the SOX be if Devers was their only problem?

[Maxbialystock]

Perez gets another call on an outside pitch and the WEEI guys ignore it.

[d-money]

Much better start for perez! Good bounce back.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I was thinking how Devers' at bats today reminded me of JBJ. The big difference is that Devers will be back on track in a day or two, where JBJ might take two months.

[Maxbialystock]

I've already corrected my blunder. Note to myself; always check the stats before posting.

 

My bad. I should have looked before leaping.

[d-money]

Perez at 78 pitches. Hopefully he can give us one more inning.

[Maxbialystock]

I don't worry about Devers. He's gonna have bad days just like everybody else.

 

Nope. I don't expect a hit every game. I expect a hit every at bat.

[Maxbialystock]

WEEI guys say the gap between AAA and MLB has never been bigger, so it's hard to be sure when to bring guys up.

[Maxbialystock]

Whitlock in the 6th.

[Maxbialystock]

Sox have hit a lot of hard shots today for outs.
