10/22 ALCS Game 6 @ Astros

[vegasbob]

Never seen anyone predictively defensed like Dugo

[Tedballgame]

Arroyo hasn't swung at a strike all night.

[vegasbob]

Time to shift motivational gears : f*** Arroyo

 

Probably Renfroe too

[Tedballgame]

Don't take the bat up there next time Arroyo. He will walk you.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Anyone who actually throws a strike to Arroyo the rest of the night should be DFAed.

[Maxbialystock]

Agree. They don't need to do that for Arroyo, JDM, or Schwarber, however.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Hunter says hold my bat.

[Tedballgame]

Renfroe swings at a ball two feet outside and then takes a FB right down the middle. Smart.

[iortiz]

My feeling is 2004. We’ll see/

[Tedballgame]

Have to pinch hit for Renfroe next time. He is pathetic.

[illinoisredsox]

Vazquez is the one calling the pitches.

 

Funny thing about Ted's stupid saying. When he is on the mound, Sale does everything he can not to think. He is totally focused on executing his pitches and leaves the thinking, the selection of pitches, to the catcher. That's called "dumb like a fox."

 

Plawecki’s the catcher tonight.

[vegasbob]

Ironic how the warts come out when the pressure goes up.. The no hitter still lives???

[mvp 78]

Arroyo is a quart of milk that is 3 months old.

[Maxbialystock]

Those were two very ignominious at bats by Arroyo and Renfroe.

The SOX FO did DFA Iggy. I guess they're banking their future on Arroyo. Good luck with that.

Renfroe has killed the Sox this series with the bat.

[d-money]

This just pathetic and sad from this sox team. Something tells me they’re clutching the bats tightly.

[d-money]

0 hits through 5 innings. I believe they did the same thing last game.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

It hasn't been that long since the Sox had a hit in the playoffs. It just seems that way.

[Tedballgame]

The SOX FO did DFA Iggy. I guess they're banking their future on Arroyo. Good luck with that.

 

That was a formality. Iggy is a FA. It was just to clear a spot on 40 man roster to add a player if necessary. I expect Iggy to be back next year. He loves Boston and he played great for them.

[NewSox]

Freakin atrocious ... and Garcia's windup is just stupid-looking

[YastrzemskI]

My feeling is 2004. We’ll see/

 

If the pitching holds up.. we have a shot. Someone needs to become a leader in the dugout right now. The time is now, not in the f***in 9th.

[Maxbialystock]

Plawecki’s the catcher tonight.

 

Yeah. I meant Plawecki and identified him on an earlier post. Tonight he did need a little help from the pitching coach, who had to go out and tell him and Eovaldi to fall out of love with Eovaldi's fastball. Fastballs got those two hits, and non-fastballs got the three K's. Non-fastballs also made Arroyo and Renfroe look very foolish.

[d-money]

Sooner or later the Stros will put this game away. Sox batters should be ashamed with this performance tonight.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That was a formality. Iggy is a FA. It was just to clear a spot on 40 man roster to add a player if necessary. I expect Iggy to be back next year. He loves Boston and he played great for them.

 

I certainly hope that happens.

[vegasbob]

Those were two very ignominious at bats by Arroyo and Renfroe.

 

Without being too hyperbolic, coud Cora relay the TAKE sign on every pitch to Renfroe and Arroyo just to test the theory?

[Tedballgame]

If Maldanado gets a hit its time to take Nate out.

[d-money]

If the pitching holds up.. we have a shot. Someone needs to become a leader in the dugout right now. The time is now, not in the f***in 9th.

 

Meh these are not your old sox teams. They’re clearly choking on their cereal. Holding those bats tightly.

[d-money]

I would take Nate out frankly. He has done his job.

[Maxbialystock]

That was a formality. Iggy is a FA. It was just to clear a spot on 40 man roster to add a player if necessary. I expect Iggy to be back next year. He loves Boston and he played great for them.

 

Hope you're right. Sox lineup is set for next year with him available--and hopefully Schwarber.
