May 1 Red Sox at Orioles

[vegasbob]

An absolutely stupid piece of hitting by Devers. That is not a pitch you swing at 0-0.

 

Although he is truly a veteran by now, he shows streaks of immaturity for a key hitter in the lineup

[vegasbob]

Orioles trying to outthink the Red Sox. A mismatch ! Bloom outwits them by having Vaz throw to second for the DP

[vegasbob]

Splendid, man on 2nd, nobody out, go ahead and call the outcome !

Ground out, strike out, deep fly ball.

[illinoisredsox]

Ground out, strike out, deep fly ball.

 

Oops.

[redsoxrules]

People, please stop bashing JBJ. He's hitting the ball very well according to advance analytics. He's a much better play than what his stat line says!

[d-money]

Someone has to get fired early here. Heads need to roll.

[d-money]

Pivetta imploding here.

[d-money]

Get somebody out!!!!

My eye test says he’s had some hard shots right at people. He’s also had a lot of soft contact as well. In other words, his normal offense.

 

He’s at his best when he uses the whole field, but once he did that a few times, he gets pull happy again, and that’s when he really struggles.

Pivetta looked good for 4 innings and K'ed a .120 hitter in the 5th. 13 outs is just less than half a game. Eligible for the loss once again, but not the win. Can you see a 2-1 loss and series loss in a 5 inning rainout ?? The humor would be inescapable

[vegasbob]

If the O's are smart they will intentionally end the inning now

[d-money]

This is pathetic to watch and sad at the same time.

[vegasbob]

7 batters for the O's this inning so far, but not a single ground ball

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Cordero's error opens up a big O opportunity

 

Corderror.

This is pathetic, but sad is watching the news.

Jackie Bradley is REALLY struggling

 

They are pretty much all struggling at this point. Mentioned the other night that as a team the Sox do not hit breaking balls that good. Devers does and Bogey does. Hernandez when on a hot streak hits everything. The rest of them....meh. Does not prevent them from flailing away at them.

 

Lots of breaking balls being thrown this year from what I can see, especially when pitchers face the Sox.

[jung]

This will be low outside slider which Story will flail at of course.

 

Lyles brain farts and still gets Story.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

In the field JBJ is impeccable; at the plate he is despicable.

 

Btw, Daffy Duck agrees with me.

[vegasbob]

Btw, Daffy Duck agrees with me.

 

So do a lot of Sux fans

[d-money]

Could be a tough Sunday with the Sox and Celtics. Celtics with a flat uninspiring performance against the bucks.

Someone’s gonna get he axe early and it could be the hitting coach .

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I can actually foresee the SOX and O's fighting all year long for that coveted 4th spot in the AL East standings.

Bashing Bradley is a bit silly. This team has scored 2 runs in the past 23 innings against an Orioles AAA pitching staff, but the bottom of the order is the problem?

Easier than firing all the hitters...

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Yup, they're usually the 1st to jump into the volcano.

[notin]

I didn't know MLB still had home runs...

[jung]

I am not sure Mother Nature is doing us any favors here. Could be just extending the misery.

Bashing Bradley is more about bashing Bloom for the trade and the fact we're paying him $12 million.

[vegasbob]

11 f'ing pitches for Crawford to give up an HR and then a walk. The ball must be wet . Umpires then decide to give the Orioles a chance to secure the win by rainout, maybe
