6/28 vs Royals

[Tedballgame]

The other guy who used to be a starter for us i believe. The name escapes me.

 

Ryan Weber? He is pumping gas somewhere.

[jung]

I don't want to think what this would be like if KC could actually hit

[moonslav59]

But if Andriese comes in its just as bad.

 

Are those the only two pitchers we have?

[moonslav59]

Ryan Weber? He is pumping gas somewhere.

 

Someone claimed Weber.

[moonslav59]

So, let me get this straight; the "something new" on Richards is a 67 mph curve ball?

 

Is this a joke?

[jung]

Someone claimed Weber.

 

I think it was Milwaukee but don't quote me.

[Tedballgame]

Someone claimed Weber.

 

I know that. It was a joke. He should be pumping gas. He is not a major league pitcher.

[jung]

Last one to Rivera looked like a slow pitch softball game pitch.

[Tedballgame]

Richards looks like a position player trying to get them out.

[d-money]

Need to score. Creep closer. Still a very winnable game.

[jung]

I thought dipping his elbow in ice between innings was the Richard's surrender flag. Cora decided not to notice I guess.

[moonslav59]

Kike who?

[TylerD]

I ate a lot of spaghetti. I don’t feel well. Ugh. Why do I do this to myself.

[TylerD]

Ryan Weber? He is pumping gas somewhere.

 

Is he available though ? Lol

[jung]

Duffy is not making good pitches to RH batters.

[mvp 78]

I think it was Milwaukee but don't quote me.

 

[jung]

Well that was a good pitch that coaxed the GB out of JD.

[d-money]

That was pathetic.

[d-money]

My guess cora will stick with Richards. Smh

[jung]

Alex Spier doing his best to bury Richards. "Slowest curve balls of the year so far." "First time in his career he has given up 5 or more runs in 3 innings or less in his career."

 

He must not like the guy as Alex is as much a homer as it gets.

[d-money]

Can’t give up anymore runs. Already a mountain hill against this team.

[jung]

Can’t give up anymore runs. Already a mountain hill against this team.

 

There is hope. Duffy is not exactly mowing us down.

[d-money]

Two shutout innings for Richards. Have to do something offensively to get closer.

[d-money]

There is hope. Duffy is not exactly mowing us down.

 

Yes but have to keep the game at minimum 3 runs.

[Maxbialystock]

My guess cora will stick with Richards. Smh

 

Not being able to doctor the ball might be part of the problem, but the real issue with Richards is command. Both those dingers, one on a fastball and the other on a slider, were right down the middle.

 

Someone last night opined that ERod needed to pound the strike zone, but in fact what worked for him was moving the location around and mixing up his pitches and not throwing too many pitches right down the middle.

 

Richards gave up way too many runs, but has now thrown 2 straight shut out innings. Of course Cora will stay with him awhile long. Bullpen was heavily used vs. the Yankees. Also at Tampa. And no off day until July 8.

[Tedballgame]

Good hitting by Xander.

[Maxbialystock]

There is hope. Duffy is not exactly mowing us down.

 

Agree. I wrote the Sox off after the first two innings and will be delighted to be wrong. Again.

[Tedballgame]

Hunter is due for a big fly.

[Tedballgame]

Hunter is due for a big fly.

 

As I was saying!!!

[Maxbialystock]

Who was that masked man who got 2 more for the good guys?
