8/26 Twins at Fenway

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Twinkies BP is worse than terrible.

[oldtimer]

Good example of keeping the line moving. Don't need HRs to score.

[iortiz]

I’m starting to like more and more they extend Schwarber.

[Oscars]

Shwarber is an on base machine

[iortiz]

This why JD shouldn’t hit at the top of the Lup right now. Rally killer.

[iortiz]

Devers! No. 30!

[redsoxrules]

Holy f*** JD is dog s*** lately. His OPS is plummeting downwards and so is his average

[Maxbialystock]

JDM is turning into a one man wrecking crew. He just did the one thing that could derail a big rally.

 

Fortunately, it wasn't a triple play and Devers jacked one out and the score up to 10-2.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Be interesting to know which batter has left the most runners on base in the month of August. I have a good candidate.

[TylerD]

Blow out!!

[iortiz]

Send Barnes.

[Oscars]

Good to see Devers find his swing in this game

2 for his last 24 and no rbis. I have wanted to rest him. maybe tomorrow.

Well, JD was Mr April.

[redsoxrules]

Interesting to see Whitlock still out there with an 8 run lead but the pen has been such garbage lately Cora doesn't want to take any chance

It seems like JD has been on a steady decline since his red hot April, but watching a high OPS fall steadily can be deceiving.

 

Until just the last week or two, he’s been remarkably consistent, and not too bad, really, except that we expect .900+ from him.

 

1.175 April

.801 May

.788 June

.806 July

.749 August (.563 last 2 weeks)

Devers sure finds ways to keep getting RBIs during slumps.

Trivia:

 

Which great HOF hitter employed a split grip on the bat?

Alex Cobb

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Dalbec not missing any mistakes tonight. And there's been a lot of them.

[iortiz]

Well, we are about to win 2 series in a row. Hopefully we can do the same vs Cleveland and face TBR with our best version.

 

Who said it’s over? Quién dijo miedo? (quoting the Spanish announcer of NESN) Lol

 

Let’s f go!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Alex Cobb

 

 

Nope. And J. Cornelius Cobb would also be incorrect.

[moonslav59]

Bobby Dee not so quietly up to .740, now!

10 less RBIs than Bogey and 150 less PAs, too.
