7/26 vs Blue Jays

[TylerD]

He’s definitely giving Richards a run for his money.

 

Ya nearly a loss lately when one of them starts. Not good at all man.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

He’s in line with Richards that’s why i wish we could get another starter if possible.

 

Probably not going to happen, but if Bloom picks up a couple relievers, perhaps Cora can insert BP starts.

[Tedballgame]

Trying to get Pivetta a win by letting him finish the 5th is costing the Sox.

[Tedballgame]

Plenty of time left but have to keep Toronto from scoring any more. They have a dangerous lineup.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Not worried, the SOX are behind. A comfortable place for them to be.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Not worried, the SOX are behind. A comfortable place for them to be.

 

 

Also, a recurring place for them to be because of the starting staff.

[d-money]

Have to keep this at 1 run. Where’s the damn offense?

[iortiz]

Valdez has been pitching pretty well.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Viva Valdez!

[TylerD]

Valdez has been pitching pretty well.

 

Yes I have always liked him. I was the only one that thought it was weird he wasn’t in the pen for a few weeks. He’s got good stuff! Glad he’s back.

[d-money]

The offense not there right now.

[d-money]

Have to keep this at 1. They’re running out of innings though.

[TylerD]

3 chances left for the offense to score

[Tedballgame]

Time for some runs.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If the Jays get any pitching going into next season, there going to be the team to beat in the AL East for quite a while.

[d-money]

BP doing the job! Damn offense has to wake up. It’s one run.

[Maxbialystock]

Valdez's last two pitches were both changeups in the middle of the zone with not much break. One was a single for Guerrero and the other was a line drive to SS for a double play.

 

Lucky Valdez.

[Maxbialystock]

BP doing the job! Damn offense has to wake up. It’s one run.

 

Sox #2 hitter has turned into an out machine. Yesterday 3 K's, today 3 outs (1 K). Saturday 0 for 4. Today 0 for 4. So that's 0 for 11 which would have been 0 for 12 except Cora pinch hit for him yesterday in the 8th. Of course.

[Maxbialystock]

Sox top of the order (Kike, Duran, JDM) now 1 for 12.

 

Need an 8th inning rally again, this time with the middle of the order (Devers, Renfroe, Verdugo), who are 5 for 8.

 

Jays bullpen has been tough.

[Maxbialystock]

Ottavino climbing back on the horse.

[d-money]

Shocking that the blue jays BP is shutting this offense.

[Maxbialystock]

And the horse don't wanna be ridden.

[d-money]

Come on ottavino. Do your job.

[d-money]

BP pitching shutout. This offense has to do something.

[Maxbialystock]

And the horse don't wanna be ridden.

 

Gene Autry for Adam Ottavino: "back in the saddle again, back where a friend is a friend."

[Maxbialystock]

Shocking that the blue jays BP is shutting this offense.

 

Actually, they look pretty good to me. Or did I imagine Devers, going against a righty, striking out in 4 pitches?

[Maxbialystock]

Renfroe is so, so lucky. He tried to strike himself out in that at bat, but the pitcher wouldn't let him.

[iortiz]

Alex f Verdugo! Lol

[Maxbialystock]

Was that Verdugo? Looks like that slump is long gone.

 

Zoweeee!

[iortiz]

Incredible how this Toronto BP implodes over and over agin against us in late innings.
