7/07 SOX @ Angels 4:07PM

Another bloop lol

[iortiz]

Arroyo will go yard here.

[Maxbialystock]

Max, that was Hernandez who struck out last inning; second time you’ve said it was Renfroe.

 

And JDM didn’t ground out, or at least his ground out bore a strong resemblance to a fly ball to left.

 

Looks like the middle of the order is starting to cool down again, which does not bode well for the offense. Plus 3 will be in Denver instead of getting a few days off.

 

Thanks for the corrections. I do remember the fly to left and do know that Hernandez is at the top of the order Renfroe 6th. Failing memory, I guess.

[TylerD]

blooping baseball (BABIP) killed him.

 

Lol strange game hahahaha.

[redsoxrules]

Vazquez with the rally killer

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I thought Iggy Slop missed the bag. Apparently not.

[iortiz]

There's no way Iglesias touched the base.

[illinoisredsox]

There's no way Iglesias touched the base.

 

Not when you stitch the two replays together.

[Maxbialystock]

Sox do not make that double play. Once again a Sox batter takes a hittable pitch, then grounds out on one out of the strike zone. Actually, the ever popular GIDP. But that kind of matches his passivity when Dalbec hit that ball of the wall and Vazquez could only get from 1b to 2b.

 

Best ever bone head play by a Sox was at least a decade ago. Man on 2b, and the next batter hits it over the the rightfielder's head for a double or triple, but the guy at 2b was too busy sliding back into 2b because he didn't want to be doubled up! So he ends up on 2b and the batter gets a single.

[d-money]

Gotta keep this at one run.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Why can't our Japanese guy be like their Japanese guy? Not fair. And I don't mean Suzuki.

we just did lol

[Maxbialystock]

In the old days before replays and when baserunners were allowed to destroy the the fielder touching the base, they gave that call to the fielder every time.

 

I too think he missed the base, but I also think the Sox deserved that GIDP

I think it was referred to as 'in the vicinity.'

[Maxbialystock]

I meant the flip to Iglesias that started the double play.

Hey! Sawa is awesome!

[Maxbialystock]

Exactly. Nice inning for Sawamura, he of the 2.57 ERA.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

C'mon, SOX. Let's de-wing these Angels.

[illinoisredsox]

Well, today if the Angels hit that, it would have hit the base and bounced somewhere else.

[Maxbialystock]

If that's true, the SOX are in for a disappointing 2nd half.

 

Good point. Devers is pretty good at adjusting. I do not expect him to disappoint in the 2d half.

That's whining, but that doesn't mean you're wrong.

[d-money]

Where do the angels rank when it come to their BP?

[d-money]

Thanks a lot hernandez .

[iortiz]

Where do the angels rank when it come to their BP?

 

it is awful, but we can't hit.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Didn't get to celebrate the Ohtani strike out for very long.

[redsoxrules]

Where do the angels rank when it come to their BP?

 

Against our west coast hitting abilities, anyone our opposing team sends for pitching they won't hit regardless if their good or bad

[Maxbialystock]

Sox have scored 21 runs in 6 games so far on this trip to the west coast, but 5 of those were unearned. So the hitting has been off, predictably so.

 

The Angels team ERA to date is 4.97. So the Sox are scoring 2 runs per game below that.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

These Angels' announcers react to Ohtani like young girls used to react to The Beatles.

[redsoxrules]

That looked like me playing right field there Lol!

[Maxbialystock]

Sox get a really lucky break!!!! Vazquez wasn't on 1b when JDM hit that triple.
