7/5 @ Angels

[d-money]

They should be teeing off this angels BP. Don’t know where they rank.

[redsoxrules]

Good thing we won’t likely face Othani and Fletcher again in this game.

 

Unless they get 1-2-3 innings they will

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

This game is getting very close. Our offense hasn’t done much just 5 hits.

 

SOX are obviously playing on the west coast. Again, I repeat, winning on the west coast is always a struggle. Before this 6 game trip, I posted that I would be happy with a 3-3 record.

[iortiz]

Taylor is on. Power vs power!

Our boy won the battle. Good!

[redsoxrules]

That 0-2 was a meatball. Thank f*** othani missed it

These teams ain’t any good. The angels are mediocre. Oakland yes but not the angels.

Fletcher maybe, Othani is a long shot considering their bottom is coming.

[d-money]

Hopefully they add another run. Is Barnes available tonight?

I posted yesterday that the SOX winning the series against the A's in Oakland hadn't happened since 2016.

We’ve got this. Our BP is way better than their bottom of the order.

 

My guess of this series ? We sweep them. They don’t have Trout and Rendón. Their SP suck and their pen suck even more.

[iortiz]

Hopefully they add another run. Is Barnes available tonight?

 

I don’t think so. Taylor and Whitlock probably will finish this.

[redsoxrules]

The f***ing shift again

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That was a great play against a fast runner. Most of those type of plays work only against slower runners.

[illinoisredsox]

I don’t think so. Taylor and Whitlock probably will finish this.

 

With Barnes having thrown 30+ pitches last night, it’s likely some combination of Taylor and Hernandez for the 8th and then Ottavino for the 9th.

Taylor and Ottavino would be great. I wouldn’t use Hernandez in this situation unless we score a couple of runs — and still lol

The Angels' offense is far from mediocre.

I agree 100%.

[iortiz]

The Angels' offense is far from mediocre.

 

Without Trout and Rendon it is average at best.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Devers could make a case that batting averages are overrated.

[iortiz]

JD has to pound this bum right here and right now.

[redsoxrules]

Another wasted opportunity

[iortiz]

JD looked awful man. Wow

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Maybe.

[redsoxrules]

JD looked awful man. Wow

 

He's been up and down big time lately.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Thank goodness Devers is the one who is 24.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Devers could make a case that batting averages are overrated.

 

I guess Ohtani could, also.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

He's been up and down big time lately.

 

JD was hot until he was given that day off. Probably just a coincidence.

[iortiz]

I guess Ohtani could, also.

 

With all their stars healthy it is a stacked lineup.

 

We have to take advantage that Trout and Rendon are out and their pen is atrocious.

[redsoxrules]

Devers could make a case that batting averages are overrated.

 

He's batting close to 300 and has been his entire career
