09/01 SOX @ Rays 7:10PM

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

C.Sale 3-0 vs Rasmussen 1-1

 

 

My turn in the barrel.

SOX might want to win this one.

[mvp 78]

Sale on.

Sale on.

Sale on.

Sale on.

[moonslav59]

Chris Freakin' Sale!

[mvp 78]

No Munoz tonight. Get Lopez in a uni!

[TylerD]

What Moon said in the other thread. Sale needs to give us more than 5 today. He has been nothing short of fantastic, but against this team we need at least 6 and to keep it at a 2 run game..... The bullpen is over worked and starting to melt down big time. We also need the offense to show up. That goes without saying.

Called up Lopez and Schrieber

[mvp 78]

First MLB experience for Lopez

[moonslav59]

Called up Lopez and Schrieber

 

My God!

 

I won't recognize half the team!

[TylerD]

I’ll eat ribs for the game.

[moonslav59]

Not only was Lopez just called up, he's starting.

 

1. Schwarber 1B

2. Renfroe RF

3. Devers 3B

4. JD DH

5. Verdugo LF

6. Vaz C

7. Duran CF

8. Lopez 2B

9. Arauz SS

 

Lopez has a .749 OPS in the minors (1.213 AA/.699 AAA)

 

I might have tried Dalbec at 1B with Schwarber in LF and Duran on the bench, but I guess Cora wants the lefty bat and Dalbec as a PH'er.

After 883 games and 3247 at-bats over nine minor league seasons, Jack López will be getting his first big league start at second base tonight. Along with winning a Silver Medal at the Olympics, López has slashed .260/.321/.378 this season at Triple-A.

[mvp 78]

They’re going to announce 6,000 fans, but there’s just no way.

[illinoisredsox]

Renfroe swung at balls 4 and 5

[mvp 78]

Starting off with this ********.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Definitely overmatched.

[moonslav59]

We are 6th in the league in HBPs and moving up.

[moonslav59]

This is worse than the Bad News Bears.

[illinoisredsox]

Sale not sharp and iffy D rears it’s head again (tough play, but one that an regular infielder makes).

[mvp 78]

Red Sox: k k k

 

Rays: HBP 1b

[mvp 78]

Should have been a DP

[illinoisredsox]

This is worse than the Bad News Bears.

 

Career outfielder trying to play the infield.

 

Arauz late getting to 2nd. Two DPs missed already.

[moonslav59]

Red Sox: k k k

 

 

That's racist with no supporting evidence.

[moonslav59]

Should have been a DP

 

Yup, after there should have been a ground out.

[a700hitter]

Should have been a DP

The turn was awful

[mvp 78]

Got it that time

[moonslav59]

Career outfielder trying to play the infield.

 

Arauz late getting to 2nd. Two DPs missed already.

 

The first is at least understandable.

 

The second is basic foundations.

[illinoisredsox]

3rd times the charm.

[mvp 78]

The turn was awful

 

Eck was right. That was sloooow.

[a700hitter]

Even that last turn was very slow.

[moonslav59]

Got it that time

 

Still, we made Sale throw a few more pitches to get the 4th and arguably even the 5th out.
