09/14 SOX @ Mariners

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Bobby is a 30 home run a year guy for the next 5-7 years. He has really improved since the first 3 months.

 

I agree completely and Bloom really doesn't need to look for a 1st baseman.

[illinoisredsox]

This is all true and I was blinded by his great throw outs this season. In Renfroe's defense, pardon the pun, he has been more of a positive addition to this team than a negative one. W/o him overachieving offensively this year along with his number of outfield assists, the SOX would probably be making plans right now to play golf.

 

I agree. You have to wonder if the fact that he’s played more games than he ever has before is a factor in his hitting slump.

I believe, and I may be wrong, that this is his first real slump of the season. But your point could definitely be a factor.

Batting slumps do get magnified when they happen in September.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

EO with any luck this season could easily have 15 wins right now.

Just did some stat checking on Seattle. They're near the bottom in runs scored and batting average. Their team pitching ERA is actually a little higher than the SOX. Their defense is about in the middle of the league. So, again I ask the tough question of how is Seattle in contention?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The few of us still watching this game are gonna be pissed if Bogey doesn't score.

Pissed but not shocked.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Cora would probably like Dalbec better if it was Dalbez.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

C'mon, Shaw.

[BOSOX11]

Load 'em up!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Schwarber is due?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

A walk would work.

[illinoisredsox]

Schwarber is due?

 

I like the use of the question mark.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Covering my ass.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That was actually better than a walk. Good work, Kyle.

[BOSOX11]

Woo-Hoo!

[moonslav59]

Wow, an extra base hit with men on base!

 

How long has it been?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Wow, an extra base hit with men on base!

 

How long has it been?

 

I'll go with my pat answer; late July.

IDK, but it may have been the Eisenhower administration.

[illinoisredsox]

July of what year?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Travis demonstrating how speed kills.

[BOSOX11]

Nice shot, Alex.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Holy s***; it wasn't a solo job. What's happening, Moon?

[illinoisredsox]

Too bad they couldn’t have scored a few of these with Nate on the mound.

[moonslav59]

That's all we needed to break the hex.

 

The floodgates will be opened for the rest of the season.

 

Mark my words.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That was intentional.

[illinoisredsox]

That was intentional.

 

Nah. You don’t waste that on Jose Iglesias.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Too bad they couldn’t have scored a few of these with Nate on the mound.

 

The shock might have killed EO.

[illinoisredsox]

The shock might have killed EO.

 

You have a point.
