Aug 6, Bos (Eovaldi) @ Toronto (Manoah)

[jung]

That sac fly barely got out of the infield, and Verdugo should have been out by a mile. So sad that Bogie's wrist is really, really, really weak. I mean really weak.

 

That pitch was 79. X can hit 79 with a gimpy wrist. At leasts he can get it to the OF.

[Maxbialystock]

That fastball up in the zone and slightly over it is working for Eovaldi.

[Maxbialystock]

I can't remember seeing Renfroe look this awful against one pitcher.

[jung]

toronto pitcher is missing his spots. Throwing a lot right in the middle of the plate. Somebody needs to clock one of these.

[Maxbialystock]

Manoah has the Sox hitters mesmerized and I'm not at all sure it's because he is so great.

Hunter has a .233 career BA, so offensively he's definitely overachieved so far.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Kike remains amazing.

[Maxbialystock]

We can all be thankful Vazquez did not try to go to 3b on that single.

Pitching cautiously to Verdugo knowing that the patsy, JDM, is coming to bat. The ultimate insult for $20M/year hitter. Edited August 7, 2021 by Maxbialystock

And of course pitching around Verdugo to get to JDM (with the bases loaded, yet!!!) pays off.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The word is getting around. Pitch JD high and inside early and then you own him.

[iortiz]

Shwarber has to hit in front JD. JD is nothing but a 6th hitter in this Lup. His best years are gone. He’s no longer a threat.

[jad]

Not sure why the Toronto announcers claim he can't hit the high inside FB-- well, he can't, I guess. But the pitch that traditionally gets him is something breaking low and away ... like that. Amazing he made contact.

Dugo is seeing the ball very well tonight. He's ignoring everything that isn't a strike.

He was very good at the 2nd slot this year.

[iortiz]

This could have been out of reach but once again JD shits the bed.

[jung]

Talk about a pitiful effort to bunt the ball. That was a joke.

[jung]

I actually don't know what Nate is doing at this point. His split has been solid all game long and now he is dinking around like he is a Junker which he is not.

[TylerD]

I want beginning of the season Martinez back

[jung]

Wow.....I don't like just giving in to Jr like this.

[iortiz]

I want beginning of the season Martinez back

His swing looks so slow.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The SOX acquired JD to help them win a WS and he significantly helped do that.

[jung]

Ball 5 to Bichette but the count is 2-2

[jung]

Nate turned into a Junker with the bottom of the Jays order and screwed himself in the process. Don't have any idea what he and Vaz thought they were doing.

[iortiz]

Yup. Jd just can’t do what Toronto just did these days. It’s a shame.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Is it too early to bring out the broom? The Jays are the better team; it just took 100+ games to prove it.

[jacksonianmarch]

What the f*** just happened? I just switched back from the Yanks. Wow

[jung]

I just cannot believe Nate got into that jam THE WAY he got into it. Where the f*** did that come from? Here let me throw these dink balls, these shriveled nuts balls to the bottom of the Jays batting order. THAT WORKED.

[jad]

Well, the good news is that the starting pitching has REALLY improved. NE actually made it part-way through the fifth.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

What the f*** just happened? I just switched back from the Yanks. Wow

 

Why don't you share your wisdom on a Yankem forum? They might actually care.
