4/9 @ Yankees

[a700hitter]

The bats look dead.

[d-money]

This offense is dead once again 🤦*♂️.

[d-money]

Stop with the damn leadoff walks!!!!

[d-money]

Just asking for trouble.

[bmattioli]

Knew that was comming. Come on Cora..

[d-money]

Christ this team looks like dog s*** two games in. Bad pitching and just no hitting.

[d-money]

Cora needs to get his team more motivated.

No excuse for Pivetta going through lineup third time through on day 2 of the season

I agree, but the pen is not very trustworthy, either.

[moonslav59]

It's too early in the season to spot any patterns yet. If the SOX play up to their talents, they'll be fine.

 

This.

It’s not about wins and losses. It’s about grooming your #2 starter for the season

[d-money]

This.

 

 

Problem is this division. You don’t wanna start 0-5 or 0-6

[a700hitter]

12 bullpen pitchers and we can’t trust any of them today?

[d-money]

Can they come back and make this a game? Offense has been spotty.

[harmony]

That would be a problem in any division.

Started 0-3 last year against the Orioles…

[d-money]

This offense is completely dead. They better not get swept here.

[iortiz]

So we just can’t hold a lead since Gm 4 against HOU?

 

F’ brutal!

[d-money]

Started 0-3 last year against the Orioles…

 

Yes but you wanna keep going to the well so often?

[Maxbialystock]

If there are two things I think we can be sure of, it's that the Yankees value good bullpen arms and the Sox do not. I'm referring of course to the GM's because I'm sure Cora would like a good bullpen.

[iortiz]

Verdugo has to leadoff already btw

[Swiharts Ghost]

So we just can’t hold a lead since Gm 4 against HOU?

 

F’ brutal!

 

Chaim is not a great GM like we hoped for .Theo was ten times the GM. Cheap bullpen gets cheap results .

[Maxbialystock]

They got 2 off the Yankees starter, and since then 4 straight Yankees relievers have each pitched one scoreless inning without having to face the Sox hitters a second time.

 

That second dinger off Pivetta was on his 3d time through the Yankees lineup.

Last year has nothing to do with this year.

One more time. The Yankees, after Severino gave up 2 runs in 3 innings, have used five straight relievers to shut down the Sox.

 

They have a bullpen, and we don't. It's that simple.

[d-money]

Dead wood. This team looks awful. They better snap out of it.

I don’t wanna hear about their BP. You gotta hit the damn ball!!!!!!

The Sox bullpen is not the reason they could be 0-2 very shortly. Giving up the long ball by the starters, and sluggish bats has been more of a problem.

Sluggish bats are because of the Yankees bullpen. The Sox hit both Yankees starters, but haven't done too well against the Yankees bullpen--0 earned runs in 12.1 innings so far. Correction, make that 1 earned run in 13 innings. I missed the run Holmes gave up yesterday.

 

And my point remains. If the bullpen pitchers are on their game, they have a big advantage only facing hitters one time.

 

And that, ladies and gents, is who you take the first two games of a series. Use the heck out of your bullpen.

Not impressed with IKF two games in. Here’s to hoping he turns this around
