8/28 @ Cleveland

[Jasonbay44]

Schwarber just continued to hit the ball well

[a700hitter]

The 2nd strike to JD was practically in the 1st base dugout and JD swung.

[Maxbialystock]

Excellent at bat for JDM, tough break on that liner.

[Maxbialystock]

2 long outs ain't helping, but at least no GIDP's.

[Jasonbay44]

JD and Xander both hit the ball hard, unfortunately for outs

[a700hitter]

Let’s see if the slumping Devers can do anything

[a700hitter]

He looks lost.

[illinoisredsox]

I am not sure about the ejection. Wouldn’t there have to be a rule for that?

 

That’s the rule of a manager tries twice on one hitter, so I’m guessing it would be the same thing. Rule 5.10(l) says, in part

 

In a case where a manager has made his first trip to the mound and then returns the second time to the mound in the same inning with the same pitcher in the game and the same batter at bat, after being warned by the umpire that he cannot return to the mound, the manager shall be removed from the game and the pitcher required to pitch to the batter until he is retired or gets on base. After the batter is retired, or becomes a base runner, then this pitcher must be removed from the game.

[Jasonbay44]

Devers is 4th hitter in a row to hit the ball hard

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

A team could build a pretty good offense around Schwarber and Devers.

[a700hitter]

Verdugo stinks in the clutch.

[Maxbialystock]

Stupid, stupid pitch on an 0-2 count. Devers nails it, but for just a single.

 

What's that line, shave and a haircut, two bits? I think I'll send a quarter to Cleveland's catcher.

Interesting, I didn’t know about the ejection rule.

[Jasonbay44]

Unfortunate inning. 4 hard hit balls, 0 runs

[Maxbialystock]

Verdugo looked stupid, but those were tough pitches.

[Maxbialystock]

Unfortunate inning. 4 hard hit balls, 0 runs

 

That it was.

[a700hitter]

Unfortunate inning. 4 hard hit balls, 0 runs

An excellent defensive play by the RF holding Schwarber to a single kept the run off the board.

[TylerD]

Offense strands so many runs. Beyond frustrating

[illinoisredsox]

Interesting, I didn’t know about the ejection rule.

 

I remembered hearing about it years ago. But the only way I could conceive of it happening is if the manager/coach is visiting the mound, leaves the pitching circle and then immediately goes back. Otherwise I can’t see a major league umpiring crew letting him get to the mound a second time.

[Maxbialystock]

One heckuva game.

 

Romo struggling to get the final out vs. the Yankees after a 2 run dinger by Judge. He got it.

 

If the Sox win, they are 2 back of the Yankees.

 

The Orioles have already sent an emissary to the Rays dugout to discuss the terms of surrender.

[illinoisredsox]

Maybe we could save time and just have the lead off guy take first against our bull pen every time.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Would it be correct to post that in the last two weeks Aruaz has hit more HR's than either Bogey or JD?

[Nick]

When is Renfroe coming back?

[d-money]

Have to win this game!!!! Come on!!!!!

[Oscars]

No walks from Nate, but 4 walks from the bullpen already …..

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Maybe we could save time snd just have the lead off guy take first against our bull pen every time.

 

The SOX were extremely lucky to win last night. Must not forget that.

[Nick]

Maybe we could save time and just have the lead off guy take first against our bull pen every time.

 

That and penchant for walking the 9th batter.

[d-money]

What’s with the damn walks!!!! It’s getting irritating.

[d-money]

Could be the game here.

[Jasonbay44]

I don’t trust Davis in high leverage situations at all
