8/3 @ Tigers

[vegasbob]

Took him out waaaaaaaaaay toooooooo late.

 

The walk should have been his last pitch, it was evident he was all over the place

[d-money]

This team is literally just not playing with any pride or urgency whatsoever. Again I keep saying it but this goes back to the trading deadline.

[jung]

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

 

I refuse to get excited about these 5 inning starters. But if there is anything worse than a 5 inning starter its a guy that can't even make 5 innings.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

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

 

 

I agree. With a smarter catcher Richards could be another Pedro Martinez.

[vegasbob]

They get a gift last night with both Rays and Yanks losing. Time to step up, but the alarm has not rung yet.

[Tedballgame]

Why does it seem like we are watching a fifth place team (the Sox)?

[iortiz]

Lol

 

I think Richards days in Red Sox uniform as a SP have ended.

[jung]

Can't believe I am saying this but I don't want to see the Tigers get up by 2.

[vegasbob]

If Sawamura gets us out of this one with no other rum scored, have no fear we have more batters to come up

Same feeling here.

10 million dollars seems an awful lot for a pitcher who hadn't done anything positive for a long time. In fact, I thought the whole point of dumpster diving was not to spend a lot of money.

[TylerD]

This is embarrassing

[TylerD]

Good Sawa. Let’s get some runs.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

This is embarrassing

 

Seems to me the SOX peaked at game 100.

I think Ted has the rights of dumpster diving in this board. I think you are right. Dumpster diving doesn’t consider spend a lot of money.

Yup. This is pathetic. Offense isn’t helping anything.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

One would think the SOX would be more motivated after picking up a player on the IL.

[Tedballgame]

The Sox are just boring right now. No fire. They had better snap out of it soon or it won't matter if Sale and Schwarber get there.

[TylerD]

Good stuff from the new guy.

I just said this to my spouse. I love the Sox but they are boring lately….. I am damn near ready to switch to the olympics. This is just getting depressing. Can’t even beat a scrub team like Detroit.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Just checked the internet to look at Robles career stats and found these numbers. As of now the SOX have an 82.5% of making the PO's and a 4.6% of winning the WS.

Great comment. I do think that was a weak move.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Robles has looked good the couple of times he's been used.

[d-money]

One run game yet it feels over. What a joke.

Keep sale away if this continues.

[d-money]

Mariners helping on the scoreboard yet this team doesn’t show you any energy.

[vegasbob]

One run game yet it feels over. What a joke.

 

Not the 8th inning yet, don't rush the magic of com from behind baseball

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

When I switch the channel to the Olympics, I'll know it's time to put myself in a nursing home.

[vegasbob]

Duran must steal second now

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Duran must steal second now

 

and 3rd and then wait for a wild pitch or a balk.
