July 31, Sox @ the Rays

[a700hitter]

Boston ranks 20th in the majors in starter ERA (4.57).

 

Manager Alex Cora said he’s not concerned about the starting pitching.

 

Cora....July 30, 2021

i am concerned.

[d-money]

It’s not happening right now. Cora needs to get these guys on the same page before the season spirals. It’s looking like that already.

[d-money]

i am concerned.

 

Someone should have told bloom that. I wonder if he was watching.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If the SOX aren't going to win the championship this year, my first thought would be that I hope the Rays do. But, I won't hope that, because their 'fans' don't deserve it.

What he says in public and what he said to the front office may have been vastly different.

 

No more trades and there are no waiver deals anymore, do sny help either comes from the minors or by pitchers who have been DFA’d

It’s obviously a pre fabricated answer to unload pressure. Of course he is concerned.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Funny how motivated a team can become when their GM picks up a quality bat before the trade deadline. The players on said team start thinking the management really wants them to go for broke.

No, but Chaim is certainly interested in mapping out all possibilities, then selecting the cheapest

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

i am concerned.

 

My pug was concerned. He barked loudly at 4:00 PM on Friday.

[jung]

Maybe if Eck actually watched the game instead of offering his usual ra-ra BS, he would have seen how the flow of this game had turned decidedly against the Sox innings ago.

[vegasbob]

Austin Davis, there's the answer !! Put him in.....Oh he is

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

0 hasn't been as effective as he was earlier on, but his history says we shouldn't be surprised.

[a700hitter]

My pug was concerned. He barked loudly at 4:00 PM on Friday.

A very observant pug.

[TylerD]

Lmao. We aren’t making playoffs if we keep this up. Can’t even win with our ace.

[vegasbob]

O'B says the Rays can score with the Red Sox. Wrong announcer breath , the Sox cannot score with the Rays, especially the #9 hitter

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I was surprised he didn't take a dump at 4:00 PM Friday.

[Nick]

I anxiously wait to watch Sale get his pitch count to 90 in his next start at AAA. Oh Goody.

[iortiz]

Is this the bum they traded? Why to mess with the pen? Why? The pen is the least of our problems.

[oldtimer]

Kiss this one goodbye.

[vegasbob]

The illusion of the magical 100 game tour de force. Regrettably the other 62 must still be played.

[Nick]

I'll say it.....I can't stand the smugness of Ottavino.

 

He's not as good as he thinks he is......

[vegasbob]

The number on his uni isn't an O , it is a Zero for good reason and it isn't ERA

[iortiz]

Long faces in the dugout. Cora looks really worried and in shock. Haven’t seen this scene this year, even when we were loosing.

[TylerD]

Kiss this one goodbye.

 

Kiss our season goodbye if we don’t figure this out.

[vegasbob]

Keep in mind this was 3-0 after top of first, since then 9-2

[d-money]

Kiss our season goodbye if we don’t figure this out.

 

Yankees creeping closer as well. Smh. Cora needs to call a meeting with his club.

[vegasbob]

Here's looking up the TBR tailpipe as it pulls away

[iortiz]

Pitching sucked but we left the bases loaded 2 times. 2 times! JD has to sit already to start off.

[Maxbialystock]

Rays now in first place, which they can cement further with another win tomorrow. It was a fun 2/3 of a season, but the final 1/3 looks like a whole lot of pain.

[d-money]

Pivetta going tomorrow? Yikes
