Game Day Thread 07.11.21 - Phillies (Nola) @ Red Sox (Nasty Nate)

[Maxbialystock]

Pivetta is inconsistent. Can be so good and so damn bad.

 

Yep. Pitching is very demanding work.

[vegasbob]

Xander has to pick this one up

[Maxbialystock]

Great throw to 2b, and JDM still beat it. Looks like the oldest guy in the lineup came to play.

 

Verdugo, not so much. I still haven't figured out why he carries the bat to 1b when he hits a grounder. And he was late on the soft liner to LF, plus he let it go by him.

[Maxbialystock]

Rios got 3 outs in the 5th. Can he do that again in the 6th?

 

So far so good--an easy fly to Hernandez in CF. Barely had to move--that dive was unnecessary.

[Swiharts Ghost]

Yeah, lets move Kike to 1B so Duran's bat can replace Dalbec's.

 

You are truly Fckd in the head kid

[Maxbialystock]

Didn't anybody ever tell Arroyo you need to wave other fielders off when you know you've got that pop-up? Back to the minors for him.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Web gem again by the Kike.

[Maxbialystock]

Who ?

 

He means Cora of course. Also Bloom.

[TylerD]

Ya 2 runs against this pitching is just unacceptable. This is a winnable game. Absolutely need to win games like this. Pretty much gift wrapped for us.

[TylerD]

He means Cora of course. Also Bloom.

 

Oh for Christ sake. Give me a break. No energy to argue with comments like that.

 

Might as well get Ron Roenicke back. Such an awesome season last year, would love to repeat it.

[Maxbialystock]

Web gem again by the Kike.

 

Rike has the highest DWAR, 1.1, on the Sox.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Giving credit where credit's due; Pivetta today did not allow a run in the 1st inning. Something rare for a SOX starter.

[Swiharts Ghost]

Who ?

 

Bobby

[Swiharts Ghost]

He means Cora of course. Also Bloom.

 

Bobby D idiot

[TylerD]

What’s really pathetic is driving in two runs again this pitching. That’s what is pathetic. This game shouldn’t even be close.

[Swiharts Ghost]

Very Winnable game still

[Swiharts Ghost]

Not over just wait

[TylerD]

4 innings left. Let’s finish strong.

[Maxbialystock]

One of the more inglorious at bats by Devers this season. Hard swings at 2 straight breaking balls so far out of the strike zone they almost went into the dugout.

 

Where oh where are the real Sox?

[Swiharts Ghost]

We walk this off

[redsoxrules]

The first pitch to Vas was a cookie

Perhaps we over looked them. Not sure what else to say. Pathetic performance so far.

[Swiharts Ghost]

Sit on this one

[Swiharts Ghost]

Idiot absolutely needs to be benched

[TylerD]

Stupid, stupid. But at least we have a man at third.

[redsoxrules]

Ffs Vas. I don't care how many stolen bases you have. You're not fast!

[Maxbialystock]

Why does everyone keep saying what a great baserunner Vazquez is? Why?

[Swiharts Ghost]

Eyes closed and reallllllllly hoping here

[redsoxrules]

Why does everyone keep saying what a great baserunner Vazquez is? Why?

 

You never heard that from me. He stinks.

[Swiharts Ghost]

I’ll take it lol
