8/31 at Devil Rays

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Pitch count of 7. That's not SOX-like.

[mvp 78]

Peacock leads the Sox with a 0.00 WHIP

[moonslav59]

JD is 7 for 14 since the ONE and DONE day off, with two 2Bs and a big HR.

 

He was 14 for 41 before the slump, with 5 2Bs and 2 HRs.

[moonslav59]

Peacock leads the Sox with a 0.00 WHIP

 

Tied with Bazardo & Brennan -3 IP each and Marwin, Plawecki and Arroyo with 1 IP each.

[moonslav59]

Fun with numbers

 

JD had a .305 OPS in a nine game stretch not long ago, but when you go back...

 

JD last 18 games before tonight's 1-1: .838 with 15 RBIs.

 

This stretch includes the whole 9 game slump!

[moonslav59]

Now, Bogey's out!

[illinoisredsox]

Bogaerts out of the game; didn’t appear to hurt himself.

 

Cora waived him in which tells me another Covid list member and I doubt it’s a contact tracing thing.

 

Hope all these invincible athletes are proud of themselves.

I guess some were afraid they'd turn into magnets.

0.50 whip

I guess some were afraid they'd turn into magnets.

 

That might help the Sox defense.

[mvp 78]

Xander Bogaerts:

 

-Starts game

-Snacks in the middle of his at-bat

-Delivers RBI single

-Plays bottom of the first

-Leaves game in second inning

 

WHAT'D HE EAT???!

[mvp 78]

Let’s go Julio

[illinoisredsox]

The way JD hits Yarborough, why would they pitch to him with Munoz on deck?

 

Edit - Dumb AB by Martinez. Not something you swing at on the first pitch.

[Tedballgame]

Sox should be hammering this guy.

[mvp 78]

Not enough fans to boo fake pickoffs.

 

s*** throw by Verdugo.

[mvp 78]

Johnny Damon arm

[jad]

Plenty of steam on the throw; it just wasn't to any particular base.

Johnny Damon arm

 

I think Verdugo crossed himself up....looking at 3rd and throwing to second...ended up throwing it nowhere.

[mvp 78]

Cora?

[mvp 78]

Guy walks the bases loaded and other pitcher is ready. Take Peacock out.

[mvp 78]

I think Verdugo crossed himself up....looking at 3rd and throwing to second...ended up throwing it nowhere.

 

Like I said earlier, defensive issues. Unsure what to do at any given moment.

[mvp 78]

Holy s***.

[mvp 78]

This f***ing team.

[jad]

Eck is not holding back!

[Tedballgame]

Sloppy and embarrassing baseball by the Sox.

[jung]

You heard it here....Management gave up on the team at the trade deadline and the team has now given up on the season. They will be lucky to beat the A's to the 2nd wild card.

Yep. What was it we were taught at age 9 about knowing what are you going to do with the ball before it’s pitched.
