8/10 Rays @ SOX 7:10PM

When it comes to dingers, the Green Monster giveth and taketh away, but that triangle usually just taketh away.

 

The only good that comes out of the triangle is if it pinballs around in there.

[Tedballgame]

TB doesn't have a guy close to hitting .300 but their lineup still is dangerous because of when they get their hits. And, they come back and win a lot of games. They have a really good organization.

It's not the golden triangle; it's the golden shower.

[Tedballgame]

Get the bullpen up.

[Tedballgame]

Whitlock may have to go 2 innings tonight.

[moonslav59]

First walk by ERod.

 

(A couple close calls.)

[Tedballgame]

I thought Sawamura was hurt?

[vegasbob]

Sets up the DP, Cruz walking is better than Cruz trotting

[jung]

It's not the golden triangle; it's the golden shower.

 

The garage door can make you crazy. It is sort of like an arcade ballpark. All kinds of s*** all over the place including an optical illusion RF wall.

[Tedballgame]

Red Sox miss an opportunity to add to the lead in the 5th and E-Rod lets TB right back in the game. Looks like Sunday all over again.

[vegasbob]

Bad call by Vaz , should have been a change up after 2 FB's. Somebody is not thinking

[moonslav59]

It's like every single walk the Sox allow is followed by a hit.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

i was thinking the same thing, because E-rod usually has good 6th innings.

[vegasbob]

Nice gift from Joe West who is usually a pain to Sox

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Good job by the SAW man.

[moonslav59]

ERod

60 Ks

22 BBs

Nice job!

 

Thanks to Sawamura for not allowing the IR's to score.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Cora, knowing E-rod's history in the 6th, probably would have liked to start the inning with SAW, but how do you pull E-rod when he only gave up 1 run after 5, without a ton of 2nd guessing?

[TylerD]

Our pitchers struggle to go 6 this year.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Our pitchers struggle to go 6 this year.

 

That may be the biggest understatement of the season, so far.

[TylerD]

I’m getting that bad feeling again guys

[TylerD]

That may be the biggest understatement of the season, so far.

 

Ya man. Just needs to be better. Ugh. Won’t make playoffs with this kind of pitching.

[jung]

For God sake. We don't put teams AWAY lately. Had bases loaded at that the middle of the order with a 4-2 lead AND nothing.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The Rays batters stay within themselves, make contact with the ball, and produce tons of timely hits. The SOX? Not so much.

[a700hitter]

If we get this ERod the rest of the way, we could pull out of this death spiral with Sale returning.

Ignore this unwarranted positivity. ^

[Oscars]

The one guy who hasn’t blown up lately in the bullpen finally blows up.

[TylerD]

Ignore this unwarranted positivity. ^

 

Lol I have done that so many times this year. At one point I think I said Richards could be ace material LMAO

[jung]

If we come out of this half inning behind I am going to lose my mind. You don't come back on the Rays if they have the lead in the 7th inning.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The Rays batters stay within themselves, make contact with the ball, and produce tons of timely hits. The SOX? Not so much.

 

Like OB mentioned earlier, the Rays have scored more runs than any team in history with a team batting average in the .230's.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Ya man. Just needs to be better. Ugh. Won’t make playoffs with this kind of pitching.

 

Playoffs? You're talking about the playoffs?

 

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

[a700hitter]

Going down the stretch with Franchy in the lineup doesn’t bode well.
