I'd like to see something Akin to a 9-2 Red Sox win.

TBD is probably Sale.

 

Sox need to blow the doors off of these lowly teams as much as possible. Try to save some of those pitching bullets.

So of course expect to see lots of bleeders, bloopers, bobbles, overthrows, blown saves and platoons of ghost runners on second every night at the witching hour.

Try as I might, I have yet to see a ghost runner. Maybe need to adjust the settings on my tv.

I wanna see Sale dominate these guys!

 

Let’s keep winning folks. That Seattle series felt great to win that.

The best solution if you want a WC berth is to go 14-0 from here on out. Not realistic, then think of the anxiety that 8-6 would cause the Nation. The two games yet unplayed by Toronto, and one for the NYY'ers are still a concern . At this point the only acceptable outcome for this weekend is a 3-0 sweep of the Orioles. Payback for the still unexplained season opening series at Fenway.

Sale needs to throw a few of those f*** you fastballs tonight.

I don't care how the SOX win these 3 games against the terrible O's as long as they win. Remember the end justifies the means. Fortunately for the SOX there will be no Means in this series.

Just checked and Bingo, Sale is the TBD.

Red Sox wearing their yellow City Connect jerseys all weekend that they wore Patriots Day weekend. Players wanted to wear them again.

 

Why?

Sox are not making the playoffs if they only go 8-6 for the remainder of the season. They need to go at least 10-4.

The Yankees extra game is of no concern; the Sox have 3 games left with the Evil Empire. They control their own destiny against the Yankees.

"Still unexplained" like the other great mysteries of baseball.

[TylerD]

Sale is gonna have a great night.

[d-money]

You can’t f*** around in this series at home. You better sweep.

[bmattioli]

The uniforms are stupid. Win Chris Sale!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The Yankems had the M&M boys. The O's have the M&M&M boys.

[jung]

So has anybody seen a single photo of this mythical pitcher's mound behind Chris Sale's house. I haven't.

 

Why diid they start with this nonsensical story and why do they continue to push it. Just say nothing. Is that so hard Red Sox.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It's all about selling more stuff.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

It's all about selling more stuff.

 

I won't buy one. Yellow is cowardly, blue sad. And they really stick out like a yellow shirt in a sea of red somethings: shirts, caps, letters, stockings, number one fingers, etc

[jung]

They make the Player's Weekend unis look like sheer stylistic genius which of course, they were not!

[vegasbob]

Nice, JD, start building the RISP/LOB count tonight

[TylerD]

That sucked.

[vegasbob]

Play from behind, nothing new. Wait until the 8th inning

[jung]

Meh....I wouldn't worry too much about solo homers the way the O's pitch. I mean Mother of God. They are awful.

[Tedballgame]

Red Sox should hammer this pitcher. 6.83 ERA!

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

O's swinging from their heels vs. Sale, almost as if they have nothing to lose, no pressure, and there's only two weeks left in the season. Pedro might say a few up-and-ins could make it more uncomfortable for relaxed hitters.

[TylerD]

Let’s take advantage here.

[Noles_1335]

Sale has topped out at what like 93…. And his last few have been 89-90… not good fella’s, not good!!!
