AUG 5: BOS (Perez) @ DET (Skubal)

[vegasbob]

Even the outs are long flyballs

[jung]

125lb soaking wet Short gets the ball to deep CF. Nothing to be proud of in that out Perez.

[iortiz]

Perez is a blank check right now. His tank is empty.

[Maxbialystock]

Whatever Perez is throwing, the Tigers seem to see perfectly and hit hard--a dinger, triple, and double in 3 outs.

 

With a man on 3b and no one out, Short with his .157 average easily delivers a sac fly to deep CF.

125lb soaking wet Short gets the ball to deep CF. Nothing to be proud of in that out Perez.

 

But at least there is no one on base anymore, there's that

[TylerD]

Not a good start.

[Tedballgame]

Tigers taking batting practice against this bum.

[vegasbob]

May have to go get Perez very early before the game gets out of hand. Cora is checking the BP hot list.

[jung]

Well this is going well.

[Tedballgame]

Embarrassing that the runner went from first to third on that.

[Maxbialystock]

That's at least two solid hits off what is probably Perez's best pitch, his changeup.

[vegasbob]

And the train keeps rolling. First to third on a roller to LF ? That's a Duran move.

[jung]

Oh well...DP in order with the hit batsman.

[Tedballgame]

Take this clown out.

[vegasbob]

At least that's a different way to load them up. Perez is total horse crap, and about to blow this game's possibilities

[iortiz]

They have to bring Valdez right now to minimize the damage. Perez is garbage.

[Tedballgame]

Perez and Richards should not start another game this year.

[Maxbialystock]

Tigers could put it away in the 2d inning. Perez is a lost soul out there on the mound.

 

Can Valdez bail him out with the bases loaded and 1 out?

[iortiz]

Perez and Richards should not start another game this year.

 

Agreed. What to do with them?

[vegasbob]

Hit them hard , hit them soft, doesn't matter just put a ball in play to get a run. The RS dugout could use that technique sometimes

[iortiz]

Outstanding performance by Valdez

[a700hitter]

Thank goodness for Valdez. Vomit emoji for Perez.

[mvp 78]

Outstanding performance by Valdez

 

Clutch

[vegasbob]

Hard to imagine Miggy Cabrera with an OPS, now below .695 , k'ing with bases loaded . Note to self, avoid long term expensive deals with players over 33

[Maxbialystock]

Astounding. Truly astounding the difference between Perez and Valdez. It's like Cora decided to start a reliever and just left him in too long.

[jung]

Perez ends up knocking a decent bat out of the Tiger's order. I guess we can say he did the usual job of scrub pitchers.

[d-money]

This team is downright pathetic. Seriously and lopez stinks. He’s another guy who shouldn’t be on this team.

[vegasbob]

Now Sox have to get 2 or more r5uns to take this game back. Kike and Devers lead the way

[vegasbob]

Trying a pick at 2nd base should be a pitcher's 39th option of what to do

[vegasbob]

Put the f'ing ball in play
