August 11, 2021: Red Sox (Eovaldi) vs Rays (Fleming)

[Tedballgame]

Get the bull pen up!!!!

[vegasbob]

Bobby Dee:

2 Hits

2 BBs

0 Ks

 

WTF?

 

I'm glad for him, the hits were not really the result of exceptional swings, more fluky but those make up for some of the hard shots that got gobbled up. The real key is the two walks which is what he needs to focus on----stop chasing way out of zone trash. Take the walk Bobby

[moonslav59]

Listen to me well, if Sale, Houck and Shwarber turn into A+ help, we will face SF in the World Series and you can betcha I’ll be there lol

 

We don't need A+ to win the division or ALCS.

 

We also have many other players capable of giving A's and A+'s.

 

This can be a damn good team!

 

1. Kike 2B

2. Devers 3B

3. Bogey SS

4. JD DH

5. Schwarber 1B

6. Renfroe RF

7. Verdugo LF

8. Arroyo 2B

9. Vaz/Plawecki

 

Bench

Plawecki/Vaz

Dalbec

Cordero, Marwin, Arauz, Munoz

 

Sale

Eovaldi

ERod

Houck

Pivetta

 

Barnes

Ottavino

Whitlock

Taylor

Sawamura

Valdez

DHern

Perez, Richards, Rios, Davis, Brasier, Seabold

...and one BB was an IBB, but hey...

[Nick]

Brasier threw 10 pitches to retire the side in his first rehab assignment last night...

[Nick]

surprised to see Eovaldi in 7th

[vegasbob]

How far does Cora let EO go , if he gives up a run and 2 or 3 baserunners? Let's plan on it not even being an issue

[Nick]

Wander Franco, #1 prospect in MLB comes in at .693 ops......this game is really hard...

[TylerD]

Awesome game.

[vegasbob]

Watch closely, Nate is beginning to struggle. Not worried about this game, just his ability to stabilize and get his last out

[moonslav59]

I thought it would take more than one good game to change the tunes sung by some posters.

 

[vegasbob]

Nate finishes well. , Congrats on a shutdown game regardless of how many runs we scored.

[moonslav59]

Can we trade for Lowe, this winter?

 

Just to keep him from busting our balls?

 

The guy had a 1.271 OPS against us, before tonight.

Yeah 100% agreed. Loving how this team is rounding moving forward.

 

Thing is Sale, Shwarber and even Houck have the realistic potential in my book to be A+ help.

Moon, keep in mind that these heroes have not yet accomplished anything with respect to tomorrow's game .

 

JDM , nothing but a stat padder , (LOL)

[Tedballgame]

Rios has ERA under 4.

[vegasbob]

Cordero shows his stuff. Probably couldn't hit in the LLWS

[vegasbob]

The f'ing Rays need to be compelled to finish this game trying to be competitive . Make them burn up their bullpen

[Tedballgame]

Stats getting padded tonight

[jacksonianmarch]

Well that was unexpected

[iortiz]

Rios has ERA under 4.

 

Ríos is way better than the two guys they just traded.

[Tedballgame]

Pretty sure the Sox have used position players to pitch this season.

[Tedballgame]

Batting practice.

[Tedballgame]

Marwin owns that guy!!!!

[iortiz]

They should implement a mercy rule. This is simply nonsense.

[moonslav59]

Ríos is way better than the two guys they just traded.

 

Bloom & Cora agree.

 

The real question is how they feel about Richards and Perez.

[moonslav59]

New Manfred rule: if you win by 19, it counts as 2 wins, and you get the next day off.

[vegasbob]

Valdez comes in with a 19 run lead and gives up a hit, then walks two. That would be enough to disqualify any pitcher from a team's future plans. Phillips can't find the plate with a search crew

[Nick]

Ríos is way better than the two guys they just traded.

 

Most definitely.

[iortiz]

Bloom & Cora agree.

 

The real question is how they feel about Richards and Perez.

 

I think they are also better than the guys the jus traded. In fact I believe they will contribute well coming off the pen.
