6/23 SOX @ Rays 7:10PM

[Maxbialystock]

Richards is pathetic. Gets a 1-2 count and throws three straight balls, none of them close.

[d-money]

What the f*** is Richards doing! Throw strikes man.

[d-money]

Well i hope the sox bring those bats tonight.

[d-money]

22 pitches for Richards that inning.

[Maxbialystock]

WEEI guys talking about how Richards didn't throw a single curve in the last two games because of the foreign substance ban (renewed with teeth). It looks OK to me, but his fast ball, which he is throwing a lot, does not.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

22 pitches for Richards that inning.

 

Well, that makes sense. When any of the SOX starters throw under 20 pitches in an inning, then I'm confused.

[Maxbialystock]

Rays continue to look like a solid defensive team.

[Maxbialystock]

Santana up with 2 men on.

[Maxbialystock]

Santana is 8 for his last 61 at bats.

[d-money]

Richards has to keep this game within reach.

[Maxbialystock]

Forget the lead off part and realize Santana will also get more times at bat than other Sox hitter.

[moonslav59]

Santana is 8 for his last 61 at bats.

 

As much as I love Renfroe in the 6 slot, just lead him off.

Why is it so difficult for RS to determine that they could have the same batting order by putting their .125 hitter 9th?

[Maxbialystock]

Forget the lead off part and realize Santana will also get more times at bat than other Sox hitter.

 

Correction. No Sox player will get more at bats than Santana unless Cora pinch hits for him.

[Maxbialystock]

Why is it so difficult for RS to determine that they could have the same batting order by putting their .125 hitter 9th?

 

My theory is that absolutely no Sox player currently wants to lead off. Those who have done so have also fared better in the bottom third of the order.

[d-money]

Richards all over the place. Throw strikes you dick!

[d-money]

Walks a guy that’s hitting .203

[d-money]

Richards is quickly becoming another bum in this rotation next to ERod.

[d-money]

This guy’s a f***ing disaster ever since checking for illegal substances.

[Nick]

This guy’s a f***ing disaster ever since checking for illegal substances.

 

Exactly....

 

He's defeated....He's a toast...

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Richards is a stopper. He stops opposing team's losing streaks.

[d-money]

I hope we can find our way back into this game.

[Nick]

We paid $14M for this guy?

[Maxbialystock]

WEEI guys say it's obvious that Richards relied heavily on foreign substances.

 

And once again the Sox defense stinks to high heaven.

[d-money]

This is flat out terrible. Not giving his team a chance tonight.

[Maxbialystock]

Rays 5 runs on 3 hits.

[Maxbialystock]

Richards screwed twice on calls, but he made that bed by having such rotten control.

[d-money]

Flat out joke! Walking hitters left and right.

[Nick]

Look at the bright side....we'll have $10M more for next year.

[d-money]

Keep the team in the game you clown.
