09/01 SOX @ Rays 7:10PM

[Maxbialystock]

They know the Sox D and are playing the odds.

 

Yes, but sometimes the odds can be, well, odd.

[TylerD]

Far from beautiful because he didn't have his best stuff. But he sure was gritty and definitely did not let the weak defense get him down.

 

Or the weak umpire. I have never seen so many bad calls. Jesus it was terrible.

 

Need the offense to come through now.

[Maxbialystock]

Really dumb. Devers hit right into that shift.

I agree the Rays got more calls and that Sale got screwed a couple of times. But I think the defense was the bigger problem.

[redsoxrules]

Ffs ump. That was ball 2 on JD.

[Maxbialystock]

That right there is way I think it is foolish to say hitters can tell balls from strikes on pitches close to the margins of the strike zone. That was a strike, and JDM whined.

[Tedballgame]

J.D. can't come through

[Maxbialystock]

Ffs ump. That was ball 2 on JD.

 

Nope. It was a good pitch. JDM was doomed anyway.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nope. It was a good pitch. JDM was doomed anyway.

 

Doomed in the dome.

[Tedballgame]

All right. Two men on.

[moonslav59]

Up to Vaz. How fitting.

[Maxbialystock]

I'd like to give a big shout out to JDM for no GIDP. He is a team player all the way.

[Tedballgame]

One more ball!

[Tedballgame]

Great pitch by Fairbanks.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Dfa vaz.

[TylerD]

Squandering base runners. What we do best lol.

Which team?

[Tedballgame]

Is anyone ready to say that Duran will be a starter for next year? Not I.

[Maxbialystock]

Vazquez was entitled to that K and he was right to recognize the 3d strike was just a very good slider at the top of the zone.

[moonslav59]

Squandering base runners. What we do best lol.

 

That and solo HRs.

[moonslav59]

Is anyone ready to say that Duran will be a starter for next year? Not I.

 

All 3 OF'ers are under contract.

 

He's the 4th OF;er in '22.

[Jasonbay44]

Duran!

[Tedballgame]

But I am happy he got a big hit!!!

[redsoxrules]

Yes

[TylerD]

There we go!!!!!!! Clutch hitting.

[moonslav59]

No Mas!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Duran Duran! Hungry like the wolf.

[Maxbialystock]

There you have it. Vazquez was out at home because he's actually as slow as a catcher (and doesn't know it). Devers had exactly the same play and scored standing up.

[Tedballgame]

Jack Lopez is not a major leaguer.

[Jasonbay44]

This Lopez guy has looked overmatched all night
