8/3 @ Tigers

[Maxbialystock]

All things considered, a good 4th inning by Richards. Two infield singles, then an 9 pitch walk because Candelario fouled off a bunch of pitches. Then the K, then the sac fly, and finally a ground out with a good defensive play by Cordero.

[TylerD]

Tied up against these scrubs.

 

Come on bats. Need more than two runs.

[iortiz]

Could have been worse but this offense is dreadful.

 

Funny thing is that we have been on base a lot of times in last 5 games but we just can’t hit for clutch lately as we used to.

[jung]

funny how the younger guys can't seem to check swing to save their lives. I don't think I have seen a successful check from Dalbac in a month and Duran can't seem to do it either.

[vegasbob]

I see what you did , I

[vegasbob]

JD used to drive that pitch into the Rf stands

I think Jacko said they messed with Duran’s swing. His swing looks kinda long.

[iortiz]

Same old story. XB and ND on base. Hopefully we catch a break here.

To be fair, Bogaerts is about the only one who can seem to do it.

[vegasbob]

JD held back, even if he was thinking about chasing. Now Dugo needs to earn his salary, big time for a large hit

Trained by the same great minds that helped Chavis and Dalbec. How did Devers escape the RS system and still be a hitter?

[TylerD]

Come on boys.

[Nick]

July OPS of .641 for Verdugo.....he's dropped each month.

It’s not the Sox system, it’s the overall mindset of baseball today starting in Little League.

 

Devers is a special talent, but even he is pushing 100 Ks on the year.

[vegasbob]

2 men on twice, and Dugo chases again. He is the hole in the donut

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The SOX didn't lose a Benintendi, they gained a Verdugo.

[d-money]

This team is so bad right now.

[illinoisredsox]

I’m wondering if his back is bothering just a bit. Not enough to disable him, but enough to throw him off just a bit.

It’s a shame.

 

I’d rather contact hitters than sluggers every day of the week.

In today’s game, you might have trouble finding enough to field a full team if you scoured all 30 clubs.

[d-money]

A leadoff walk. Smh.

[Tedballgame]

Walking the 9th place hitter is usually a recipe for disaster.

[vegasbob]

Richards showing no command of the baseball nor strike zone. looks tired at 70 pitches with a sloppy finish to his delivery

[TylerD]

Ugh. Brutal. 3-2

[Tedballgame]

Yep. A walk to the 9th batter is going to lead to a big inning.

[d-money]

That could be game. Implosion

[Tedballgame]

Took him out waaaaaaaaaay toooooooo late.

Dugo appears to be the type of player who will attract minor injuries for his whole career.

[iortiz]

While Richards is not good at all, I’m starting to think that Vazquez has a fair chunk of the blame.

[TylerD]

Richards needs to leave. He’s f***ing awful.
