6/30 vs Royals

[illinoisredsox]

That pitch was off the plate and still hit a HR

 

It won’t matter to the doom & gloomers. They just don’t get that sometimes major league hitters hit home runs, even on good pitches.

[d-money]

Time to score some runs! Go sawx.

No doom and gloom here.

[illinoisredsox]

I thought Minor is a lefty, which is why I'm shocked Dalbec isn't in there.

 

The heat-related issue would explain it.

 

My mistake, Minor is a southpaw.

[redsoxrules]

Nothing but pop ups so far.

[d-money]

Well i hope this offense finds something in the second turn at bat. Perez has to keep this close.

[d-money]

Let’s go fellas!!!!

[jung]

Geez you would think Mike Minor would want to put a little Grecian Formula or something in that beard of his. He is only 33 but he looks like 43.

Umpire widening the strike zone on Dugo.

[redsoxrules]

Verdugo got f***ed on the ump on that AB. The first 2 pitches were balls

[Tedballgame]

Dugo beating out the DP grounder proved huge. Way to go JD!!!!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

JD! Mistakes will not pass.

[redsoxrules]

JD!

[Tedballgame]

Minor turning into a human rain delay.

Kimmi has said that a team that wins a lot but does not have a big run differential is, according to the experts, in peril. And that's our Sox with their 49-21 (.613) record, best in the AL and 2d only to the Giants, but a run differential of + 44, which is lower than the Rays +84, Jays +84, White Sox +82, Astros +130, Giants + 97, Dodgers +106, and Padres +78.

 

Here's a look at some of the big wins by the leading run differential teams:

+130 HOU 15 games to reach 130 run differential (16-2, 13-0, 13-1, 14-3, 12-3, 11-2, 10- 2, 10-2, 9-1, 8-1, 8-1, 9-2, 10-4, 10-4, 8-2)

+84 TBR 11 games to reach +84 (13-3, 10-1, 9-1, 13-6, 12-5, 9-2, 8-2, 7-1, 7-1, 7-1, 14-8, 7-2)

+44 BOS 6 games to reach 44 (11-2, 11-4, 11-3, 9-0, 9-2, 9-2, 8-1, 7-1, 7-1, 6-1)

[redsoxrules]

Crap, renfroe just missed that one

[d-money]

Let’s see how perez pitches with a lead.

[d-money]

Leadoff hit.

[d-money]

These royals can be free swingers. They go for their pitch.

[redsoxrules]

Hate the shift. That would of been an easy 3rd out

[d-money]

Come on perez.

[redsoxrules]

f*** off ump. You called 2 strikes on Verdugo that was worse than that

[d-money]

Any chance of rain coming?

[iortiz]

Whata inconsistency from this ump.

 

We really need robo umps. This is XXI C. Most umps are like 70 yo or something. I don’t think their vision are at 100% of their abilities.

 

Good job Perez, despite this chUMP.

[redsoxrules]

Any chance of rain coming?

 

It's already raining

[Tedballgame]

Minor is so slow. That why MLB needs a pitch clock.

[Thunder]

Any chance of rain coming?

 

Isolated thunderstorms all around Boston right now. Severe thunderstorm warning for the rest of the night where I am - 20 minutes south

[iortiz]

I guess these are the final days of Chavis in Red Sox uniform. I don’t think he will bring more to the table. Shame. He looked like he could make it when debuted.

[redsoxrules]

Need to get through this inning quickly so it's an official game

Well hope they hurry up and get this inning over with lol.
