04/13 SOX @ Tigers 1:10PM ET

[Tedballgame]

Trying to blow a 9-2 lead. Pathetic.

[moonslav59]

What may be a little food for concern is I doubt the SOX will face a weaker line-up than this current Tigers' line-up.

 

You mean no other team is led by Spencer Torkelson?

[moonslav59]

What is Cora waiting for?

 

Rain?

[jacksonianmarch]

Diekman has enormous balls. He just might not have command

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nasty pitch. I doubt Miggy would have hit that in his prime.

[jacksonianmarch]

Really weird game here. But the lack of a single shut down reliever outside of the games Whitlock piggy backs is a problem

[Tedballgame]

This is on the verge of becoming this season’s first worst loss ever.

[Tedballgame]

Robles gets out of it.

[moonslav59]

It's going to be Barnes and Nobles in crunch time, guys!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

With most of the SOX starters, with maybe the exception of EO, only going 5 or less innings most of the time, this will be a recurring problem.

I think many teams have 4 starters expected to go just 3-4.2 innings or no third time through the line-up.

I think Pivetta can average 5 or more per start.

[moonslav59]

JBJ started the game with an .091 OPS, and now he's almost at last year's OPS!

 

.455 now

 

.491 in 2021

 

[Tedballgame]

Dodgers pulled Kershaw after 7 innings and no hits with 80 pitches

I think many teams have 4 starters expected to go just 3-4.2 innings or no third time through the line-up.

 

Then similar to last year, we'll just have to hope this SOX BP is up to the task.

Ole Gary Sanchez got the only hit of the game.

Tough managerial decision, but probably the best decision for the long run.

[moonslav59]

Will we see Hansel or Gretel in the 9th?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

SOX have scored 9 runs which is obviously a good thing. However, this problem of not scoring runners on 2nd base with no outs is a problem that has continued from last season.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That foul ball was caught by the only fan holding a glove and not a beer.

[moonslav59]

A win is a win.

 

Pack your bags!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Never a moment of doubt said the pathological liar.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Damn, no game tomorrow. Hope that doesn't screw up my streak.

[moonslav59]

Yanks playing TOR the next 2 nights.

[Maxbialystock]

Damn, no game tomorrow. Hope that doesn't screw up my streak.

 

And what an incredible streak it's been, bringing the Sox up from the depths of .250 to the dry land of .500 with the mighty peak of .625 just two more giant steps ahead. Bunyanesque, I would say.

We getting a thread for today or no?

[Bellhorn04]

SPLINTER is usually very reliable. But the clock is indeed ticking.
