7/10, Phils @ Sox, 4:00PM Eastern game time

[jung]

Obviously for anybody looking at the time stamp for this post, the hours I keep may not conform to the start of this game. Hence I figured I better get the game thread up now.

[TylerD]

Let’s get a win!

I'll be running somewhere around Fenway right when this game is starting. Beautiful day here in Boston. Sun is trying to break out. Not overly warm or humid.

After last night's appearance Andriese was limping back to the dugout. The SOX have put him on the 10 day IL. According to a SOX source, when the 10 day IL expires, Andriese will be demoted to Worcester. Brice was called up this morning to replace Andriese. Edited July 10, 2021 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

Nothing much good to say about the 2020 poor excuse for a baseball season concerning the SOX, except that they will have the #4 pick in the upcoming draft.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Pivetta is skipping his scheduled start today. Perez will be on the mound instead.

Andriese is out of options. He’d have to clear waivers first.

Clearing waivers I would think shouldn't be a problem.

Btw, Moon, you know more about this draft than I ever will. I hear the name Jack Leiter, Al's son, being mentioned a lot as the SOX 4th pick if he's still on the board. What do you think?

Pivetta just getting an extra day of rest. He'll go tomorrow. My guess is they want to start with Nate out of the All Star break

If Leiter is off the board, then the next best pitching prospect is Kumar Rocker, who, like Leiter, pitched for Vanderbilt.

Thanks. That makes sense.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

This forum wasn't the only thing broke today. Hopefully, the SOX can be repaired by tomorrow.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Brice appears to be the perfect replacement for Andriese. Is Marwin warming up?

[Maxbialystock]

Brice appears to be the perfect replacement for Andriese.

 

He does indeed. Different style, but the same dedication to giving the hitters what they need.

 

But we have to face the fact that Taylor and Workman served up the most meatballs today.

Perhaps the SOX shouldn't draft a pitcher. Their farm system will only ruin him.

Right now, I'll believe anything.

[Maxbialystock]

Bad news is the Phillies scored 8 in the 8th.

 

Good news is it wasn't a crooked number. Wild applause for our bullpen who kept things symmetrical.

[Maxbialystock]

9 run rally!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Right now, I'll believe anything.

 

The SOX sad history of developing starting pitching speaks for itself.

[TylerD]

Ya were toast lol

[Maxbialystock]

Chavis the rally killer. Talk about a versatile guy, he is a keeper.

[moonslav59]

There goes the run differential.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hadn't thought about that. Now I'm really devastated.

The bad news really was that the SOX scored one earned run against the Philies' sad sack of shitey pitchers.

And the really good news was, er, I'll have to get back to you on that one. No, wait, the good news was the SOX didn't have to wear out their closer.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If the system went down, this was the perfect game for it.

[Larry Cook]

Good news today: the draft is tomorrow.

 

Bad news today: offense went Mia today. The pressure of tying the record causes Taylor to melt down.

I found one: our top 4 hitters in the opening line up got on base 7 of 14 times with 1 HR.

Tying what record?

[Larry Cook]

Tying what record?

 

Outings between giving up a run.
