AUG 4: BOS (ERod) @ DET (Mize)

[moonslav59]

Crooked number time.

[illinoisredsox]

Rafi looks like he’s gone pull happy again.

[TylerD]

Come on Martinez. Let’s do it again!

[iortiz]

Finally this lineup is the way I like it. Xander at 3rd, Devers at 4th and JD at 5th. I only would swap Verdugo and Duran, until Duran gain more confidence, but it’s ok.

[iortiz]

The damn bat broke.. geez!

[Maxbialystock]

Man on 3b, one out, no rbi for JDM.

 

Leadoff double for Bogie, but Raffie, JDM, and Verdugo can't bring him home.

 

Sox lineup doing all they can to keep the Tigers in this game.

[TylerD]

Well that sucked.

[TylerD]

The damn bat broke.. geez!

 

Ya that was frustrating

[moonslav59]

Crooked number time.

 

Can't

bunch

hits.

It’s called slump. We just catch a break right now.

[illinoisredsox]

The damn bat broke.. geez!

 

When you’re scuffling …

[Maxbialystock]

Finally this lineup is the way I like it. Xander at 3rd, Devers at 4th and JD at 5th. I only would swap Verdugo and Duran, until Duran gain more confidence, but it’s ok.

 

Devers, batting 4th, lefty vs. righty, is killing the Sox offense tonight.

[iortiz]

ERod is rolling!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The damn bat broke.. geez!

 

Bats will usually break when the ball is hit on the handle.

[Maxbialystock]

If I have said it once, I've said it a million times this season. ERod cannot and must not rely on his fastball.

 

But tonight that fastball is working like a champ. He just threw one right down the middle on a 2-0 count and the batter swung and missed it!

[TylerD]

E Rod is filthy tonight

[iortiz]

Devers, batting 4th, lefty vs. righty, is killing the Sox offense tonight.

 

Yeah, Rafa hasn’t been hitting lately. When he doesn’t hit we are in trouble. Alex isn’t hitting either.

 

Good thing seems like JD is turning around.

[d-money]

This offense should not be this terrible. They’re just not getting it done right now.

[Maxbialystock]

Meanwhile, the hitting stinks. That said, Mize for the Tigers has pitched very well at home this year. His splitter is pretty darn good.

[d-money]

E Rod is filthy tonight

 

Still early. Just a one run game.

[iortiz]

Renfroe!

 

Can we at least bring Renfroe home?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

E-rod in his career 7 starts against the Tigers is 4-1 with an ERA under 3. So this is the team he owns.

[Maxbialystock]

5 out of 5 innings, the leadoff man has gotten on base. But just one run on a dinger.

Sure looks like it tonight.

[iortiz]

The ump just killed Cordero there man. It was clearly outside.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That was outside, but it doesn't matter because there is no strike zone anymore.

[moonslav59]

That was outside, but it doesn't matter because there is no strike zone anymore.

 

It's like the umps are lobbying for robo umps to take their jobs away.

[illinoisredsox]

Meanwhile, the hitting stinks. That said, Mize for the Tigers has pitched very well at home this year. His splitter is pretty darn good.

 

He’s been better at home, but he’s been good both at home and on the road (2.50 ERA at home, 3.25 on the road, opponents Batting Average .232 at home and .227 on the road).

 

He stays healthy he’s going to be a really good pitcher for a long time.

[iortiz]

3-0 HR? Lol

 

Yeah!

[Maxbialystock]

Finally, the leadoff hitter with a 2 run dinger!
