7/25 vs The Yanks

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Obee's afraid to say NO-HITTER when it's a Yankee pitcher he might jinx?

[d-money]

So if this holds the sox would be up 8 games in the win column and just 6 in the loss column on top of the Yankees. I have seen crazier things happen but this series leaves a sour taste.

Chris Sale so far today: 3 IP, 5 hits, 1 run, no walks, 8 strikeouts.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

There's a strong ODOR in Fenway right now.

[d-money]

If they’re gonna do anything they might as well start something this inning. Still looking for their first hit against domingo.

1978?

It's ok, you can say it: because he's throwing a NO-HITTER

 

ps. not just pitching to no hitters

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I hope Cordero didn't unpack. Btw, I just saw Cora smiling in the dugout; so if he's smiling, why are the rest of us so pissed?

[d-money]

No hitter intact. Lousy f***ing game. Ughhh

We did not lose any ground....2-2

[d-money]

1978?

 

2011?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

2011?

 

Yup, forgot about that one. The ultimate implosion.

[d-money]

We did not lose any ground....2-2

 

You say that like a good thing. I see it as losing the series. This is without their best hitter as well. This could jumpstart the Yankees.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

We did not lose any ground....2-2

 

Except to the Rays.

[d-money]

After this they have 4 with the blue jays and 3 with the rays on the road. All divisional games.

[d-money]

More walks. Nice.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Not having Sawamura available definitely hurts.

[Maxbialystock]

Not having Sawamura available definitely hurts.

 

Not today. Today would be a good day to send Andriese in so that the fans will realize this game is over.

[vegasbob]

Cordero, Rios etc. None ready for prime time

[vegasbob]

This just in : Stanton could play for us today and his super cheap "double" yesterday was actually no better an AB

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Stanton will never get booed at Fenway. They only boo the great players.

[oldtimer]

Cordero, Rios etc. None ready for prime time

 

Rios has the stuff but his command makes him very unreliable.

[Maxbialystock]

Hmmmmm.

 

Looks like Cora wants to win this game after all. So do the Sox hitters of course.

 

The problem is Germain and the simple fact that good pitching tops good hitting.

[vegasbob]

If Germain and BP complete the no hit shutout , Sox will be 10-9 for July and have blown a 4 game lead over the Rays . The warts do show up over the 162 game schedule. I think Chris Sale's pending return can't come soon enough to reenergize a sleepy bunch in late July. Having said that the problem is hitting and lineups loaded with AAAA'ers

[Maxbialystock]

I think I saw Duran in a supporting role in the Clint Eastwood film, Trouble with the Curve--except he's much skinnier than that guy was. But he has that swing and miss down pat.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

German has a 4.70ERA and a .280 BA against. Who wouldn't expect a no-hitter from him?

[vegasbob]

I trust that Duran has been coached by the same people who produced Chavis and Dalbec, none of whom can recognize a breaking ball in the dirt,

[Maxbialystock]

Duran and Dalbec, what a pair.

[vegasbob]

Bogaerts shows them how to do it.

[Maxbialystock]

Sanchez caught the Vazquez passed ball bug!
