9/10 Sox (Red) @ Sox (White) 8:10 EDT

[vegasbob]

Once again, a walk to the nine hitter bites us in the ass.

 

Sure sign of a pitcher who is a thrower that cannot prevent that happening by staying in the strike zone

[moonslav59]

Mets up on Yanks 8-2.

[moonslav59]

I believe the SOX pitchers lead in giving up hits on 0-2 counts.

 

...and walking the 9 guy.

 

...and leadoff walks.

[vegasbob]

Vaz with a great throw to pick Jiminez. Houck was never going to get strike 3 and is now mental toast. Do not bring him out for the 4th

 

BTW, score 4 runs or the Red Sox are toast

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

...and walking the 9 guy.

 

...and leadoff walks.

 

Moon, back in the day certain teams would fine the pitcher for giving up an 0-2 base hit. SOX may want to put that back in play.

[vegasbob]

Jays just tied the O's 3-3. Guess who will win that standoff?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

In Houck's defense he did come up thru the SOX farm system, which has been a disaster in developing pitchers.

[vegasbob]

And the pitchers often give up the long ball to the most obvious guy to work around.

[vegasbob]

Sox hitters make me think of Smucker's JAM jobs

Houck's 3/4 delivery almost screams of an upcoming TJS.

The TJ or blow the labrum out . Another reason Tanner needs to go BP next year

[vegasbob]

Rafi should look at all his hitting video for this week to see he is messed up

[redsoxrules]

I'd be surprised if they come back and win this game.

[redsoxrules]

Ffs I see that Iggy is no longer elite on D

[vegasbob]

Iggy will be gone before mid month. Shows little to no ongoing ability to play the game at the plate or in the field

[redsoxrules]

And this ump blows. He's giving Rodon a larger strike zone than Houck

[vegasbob]

You can't spell sack of sh.... without the letters in Santana

[redsoxrules]

Santana is a disaster waiting to happen. Why is he stil playing is beyond me.

[vegasbob]

Houck is just throwing now, no clue, no plan, no movement on the ball

[redsoxrules]

Houck started the game strong but has been trash since the 3rd

[vegasbob]

Cora needs to go get him now, it is about to get ugly

[vegasbob]

Cora pulls Houck at least 1 if not 2 batters late, proving for sure that his future may be in the BP

Cora or Houck?

[redsoxrules]

Dalbec continues to rake

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice blast by Bobby.

[vegasbob]

Cora or Houck?

 

Pronoun references go back to the last name mentioned, unless one use the former/latter designations to leap across the language divide. Meanwhile Dalbec shows more reason he may be developable

[moonslav59]

Santander with a 3 run job for the O's- now up on the Jays 6-3 (7th).

 

Mets still up 8-2 on Yanks (7th).

 

Tigers down 4-3 to the Rays but have men on 2nd and 3rd with 1 out- top of the order up.

 

Now, let's rally!

[vegasbob]

This team has trouble bunching base runners with HRs unlike Jays, White Sox ,etc. I'm glad for Dalbec but it won't change the game much

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

One positive thing Iggy did do tonight was help raise Rodon's pitch count with his 12 pitch at bat earlier.

There is that. The result of 12 pitch ABs is usually a walk or hit, not the swing K
