Another hard hit ball.. caught. Goddamn.

Another hard hit ball.. caught. Goddamn.

 

The approach of going the other way is the correct one though.

[d-money]

Very concerning right now. Too many slow starts by this offense.

Gabe Kapler looks like a shoe-in for NL MOY. He'll join other ex-SOX players Cora and Cash in recently winning that MOY award. Edited October 2, 2021 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

Houck looking very good. Has to throw a 7 inning shut out.

This offense is f***ing pathetic and annoying right now!

[d-money]

Just hope we can pitch well cause this offense is dogshit right now. Frankly i feel they’re a little tight.

Develop him as SP. Core is there.

[redsox87871]

I trust Tanner Houck more than I trust bot Nick Pivetta & Eduardo Rodriguez as far as starting pitching.

Yup, not even close.

It's been annoying since the start of the Yankem series.

[Maxbialystock]

Sox have one freaking hit in 3 innings, so I don't want to hear about hard hit balls.

[d-money]

Wake the f*** up and do something!!!!

It’s been beyond of 3 innings. They are likely in slump and entering to POs.

[Maxbialystock]

Houck pitching great and getting zippo support from the lineup which is simply choking. Again.

Toronto pounding on Baltimore in the fashion the Sox should have…

Yessir.

 

Sit some. Shake this team up. Won’t happen though.

Agree.

Maybe for 4 innings, 5 max….

[redsox87871]

My thoughts exactly. In my opinion, if our offense was right, we should be getting 6-9 runs per game against the Orioles and Nationals based on the starting pitchers we are facing. The offense is not right and we won't get out of the 1st round after the Wild Card unless it improves.

Is it possible for Bogey to look any worse at the plate? He lets two fastballs go by for strikes, then swings and misses at a slider.

Spot on, he looks completely lost

[FredLynn]

Watching these guys flail around against second rate pitchers is really getting old. Shoulda nailed this guy in the first inning.

Yep. That would have taken a little pressure off the offense. At this point everyone is pressing and it shows.

[iortiz]

Xander is f***ing useless. Put Arroyo there already geez!

 

Devers! Lol

[Tedballgame]

Devers delivers this time! Yes!!!!

[FredLynn]

Its about time!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

DEVERS DEliVERS. Business appears to be re-opened. Like it or not, he's the best hitter on the SOX.

[YastrzemskI]

Devers has been hitting the ball hard but in the wrong spots.. I’m not surprised that he just went deep. 1-0 SOX

[Maxbialystock]

Finally, a solo dinger--what else?--by Devers on a fastball right down the middle.

 

I guess the rest of the Sox so-called hitters can relax now and say, "well our job is done. The rest is up to the pitchers."

 

Pretty obvious that's how JDM thinks. 2 K's in two plate appearances. And you'll never, ever guess how he K'd. A slider away. Isn't that amazing?
