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

[TylerD]

Crushed!!!!

[moonslav59]

Kike da man!

[a700hitter]

Huge HR by Kike.

[iortiz]

The kid goes yard too! Lol

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Ted Williams once said that he never argued with an ump about a strike/ball call; he would just glance at them and they knew they were wrong.

[a700hitter]

Excellent power the other way by Duran.

[jung]

Mize finally imploding. Funny how with all these big names and big bats, Hernandez has been the guy of late.

[Maxbialystock]

3 dingers, 4 runs. Opposite field by Duran.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Kike is making 3 million dollars less this season than Richards.

[illinoisredsox]

Duran needs to think opposite field all the time.

[iortiz]

Excellent power the other way by Duran.

 

And to the other way. Speaks volumes of his power.

[moonslav59]

Remember when several posters were climbing over each other to drive the Kike is a bum bandwagon?

Ted was a gentlemen.

[TylerD]

Back to back. That was awesome

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That opposite field HR by Duran proved one thing; he is strong.

[moonslav59]

Lets hope this is a sign the offense has awoke for good.

[moonslav59]

The kid has all the tools.

 

All.

[moonslav59]

Big inning for ERod.

 

Don't take your give 'em an inch.

[moonslav59]

Big inning for ERod.

 

Don't take your give 'em an inch.

 

So, he walks the guy!

[TylerD]

Can we get this E Rod every night

[iortiz]

Remember when several posters were climbing over each other to drive the Kike is a bum bandwagon?

 

In the long run, I think he could be a better asset in the middle-bottom of the lineup. The sixth spot would be a fenomenal spot for him in my book.

 

Verdugo

Xander

Devers

JD

Shwarber

Kike

Duran

Renfroe

Vázquez

 

Thing is he is hot. Keep him there.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The kid has all the tools.

 

All.

 

He has the potential to have all the tools. His speed, his arm, and his fielding are 3 tools he has proven.

[iortiz]

Watching vintage Lalo. Good!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

He has the potential to have all the tools. His speed, his arm, and his fielding are 3 tools he has proven.

 

Of the 5 tools speed is something you either have or don't have. It can't be a work in progress.

[illinoisredsox]

I was at the game in Atlanta when Cora pulled him at 4 2/3 with the lead. I’d do it again tonight. You want a W? Learn to throw less balls.

[iortiz]

Freeze!

[TylerD]

Excellent night for E Rod!!

[moonslav59]

Can we get this E Rod every night

 

Here on out. Book it

 

(Minus the 2 walks in an inning.)

99 pitches....5 innings......he should be done for the evening.

 

I do remember Cora getting on E Rod in 2019 about him not challenging the hitters

[Maxbialystock]

I remain astounded. ERod goes 5 shutout innings while relying heavily on his fastball although he did mix in some good changeups and the occasional slider and cutter.

 

Credit too goes to Vazquez.
