Rays at Red Sox 1:10 PM

[Tedballgame]

Another Fing dink hit.

[d-money]

This game is squarely on sale. Just pathetic performance.

[moonslav59]

Is that like the 8th IF hit?

[redsoxrules]

This game is squarely on sale. Just pathetic performance.

 

Are you kidding me? Verdugo is mostly to blame this inning.

[d-money]

Get out of the f***ing inning already!!!!!!

[moonslav59]

Sale:

 

11 Hits

 

11 Outs

 

Many of the hits were infield hits, but still...

 

[d-money]

Are you kidding me? Verdugo is mostly to blame this inning.

 

He has allowed 11 hits. He hasn’t been great as you think.

[redsoxrules]

I sure hope Richard's has the same stuff as his last appearance

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Sorry, Moon, but it may be awhile before Sale ever becomes 'freakin'' again.

[vegasbob]

Are you kidding me? Verdugo is mostly to blame this inning.

 

Verdugo to me is a very average player, better than some but not a guy to pick up the team. Plus I believe he is lacking smarts

[moonslav59]

It's too early to ask if the season is riding on one player's shoulder, but it sure feels like that, right now, with Richards.

[iortiz]

Are you kidding me? Verdugo is mostly to blame this inning.

 

Yeah, this inning should be ended 4 batters ago.

[Tedballgame]

This game is squarely on sale. Just pathetic performance.

 

No way. Dugo should have caught the ball and it would still be 7-1.

[d-money]

Couldn’t even get out of the fourth inning. Just a complete f***ing meltdown.

[redsoxrules]

He has allowed 11 hits. He hasn’t been great as you think.

 

He's allowed ONE earned run. Some days pitchers don't have their best and allow a lot of hits

[d-money]

No way. Dugo should have caught the ball and it would still be 7-1.

 

True but he has to get out of that. He allowed 4 earned runs .

[moonslav59]

Verdugo to me is a very average player, better than some but not a guy to pick up the team. Plus I believe he is lacking smarts

 

He's gotten some big hits, but he looked better last year, and there does seem to be something about him that rubs me the wrong way.

[Jasonbay44]

Verdugo makes THAT catch though. Okay

[vegasbob]

Still 15 outs to get in one of the longest games of the year.

[d-money]

Those bats better get going especially when you’re getting help on the other side.

[moonslav59]

Wow, the other team can make hard hit outs, too.

[Tedballgame]

Sorry. Moon, but it may be awhile before Sale ever becomes 'freakin'' again.

 

TB has 3 dink hits, one that was lost in the sun, and another off the wall that Dugo could have caught. Sale wasn't his best but it should still be 7-1 in the bottom of the 4th and his pitch count would be about 70. Not his fault today.

[redsoxrules]

He's overrated on Defense. When he's playing the monster he's lost out there. He's always bobbling the ball.

[d-money]

5 of those runs where earned by sale?! He she to get that past that!!!!

[TylerD]

Missing that catch hurts bad

 

Kills Sales ERA too. Ugh.

[moonslav59]

All after the first two hitters flied out.

[d-money]

We could play that game all day long! Even if they where dink hits they where hits! Don’t allow further damage. I thought he wasn’t as sharp even the game started.

[redsoxrules]

Wtf they didn't give dugo the error on that missed catch.

[d-money]

This is a must win game. Can’t keep f***ing up

[vegasbob]

Hah, the Red Sox do sign Jose Iglesias so one of the AAAA'ers can go home. Preferably Motter or Lopez
