July 28 BOS (ERod) vs TOR (Ryu)

[Maxbialystock]

I gotta admit I prefer the WEEI guys because they do talk about the game. The TV guys like to interview people, talk about their golf games, whatever.

 

Francona, age 62, is on medical leave for the rest of this season.

i have listened to the radio feed a lot lately. They are pretty good.

[Maxbialystock]

Terry Francona would have broken Lou Boudreau's record for most wins by a Cleveland manager. He still can, just not this year.

This game was over before it started. The tampa series is big. Tampa coming off a series loss to the Yankees.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I find it difficult to believe that the SOX are 10.5 games better than Toronto. Anyone else feel the same?

[Maxbialystock]

WEEI guys say that, if the A's decide to leave Oakland, they could end up in--wait for it--Montreal. Reportedly, the money and the land are in place.

[Maxbialystock]

Valdez warming up.

I don’t think toronto is very good but they’re competitive in games.

[a700hitter]

This is a struggle to watch.

[TylerD]

Might switch to olympics for a bit. This is not very pleasant to watch lol.

[Maxbialystock]

Bases loaded with Semien and his 24 dingers at the plate. Just outside the pesky pole!

If that happens, Franchy would be a good fit there.

[Maxbialystock]

0-2 count, and ERod walks him with the bases loaded. Three straight walks.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

More proof that the SOX don't need another starter.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Some call E-rod a nibbler; I call him gutless.

[d-money]

Man ERod sucks. I wouldn’t care if the Sox DFA this guy along with Richards.

[d-money]

I see that the dodgers got danny duffy. Man i can’t stand that franchise.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That should make the web gem highlights later tonight. Renfroe is the best defensive RF in the AL.

[TylerD]

Man ERod sucks. I wouldn’t care if the Sox DFA this guy along with Richards.

 

I’m with you man!!!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I’m with you man!!!

 

Addition by subtraction.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Note to Cora. Except when EO and Houck start, have Valdez warming up in the 1st inning.

[Oscars]

As a free agent at the end of the season, EROD has cost himself a lot of money with this years horrid numbers

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice play by Dugo. The SOX aren't getting any wood, but they are getting some leather.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Bloom has been 'interested' in most of the deals getting done. Maybe when this season is over and the SOX don't make the WS, we can all say "well, ya know, Bloom was interested." Edited July 30, 2021 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

Like father, like son. Vlad is awesome.

Get us Berrios!

 

Until we have an actual rotation we aren’t doing anything.

I believe Bloom is 'interested.'

[d-money]

Sale, EO, Berrios, Houck, Pivetta

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Sale, EO, Berrios, Houck, Pivetta

 

Pivetta is definitely a #5 starter.

Perhaps. Right now it looks as though the rotation weakness is simply too big to fix. Pivetta, Perez, ERod, and Richards are all more than capable giving games away. That leaves Eovaldi, who is quite good, Houck, who lately can't quite get thru 5 innings, which places a big burden on the bullpen, and Sale, who we only hope is the Sale of 2018 which was a long time ago.
