I hope these windy conditions don't slow down the RED SOX offense.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Cease will cause the RED SOX offense? to desist.

[vegasbob]

Story should argue his way out of the game, just to break up the monotony of losing

[Bellhorn04]

More torture from the Dead Bats Society so far.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

A foul tip off of the f'ing ump's mask may cause his vision to return.

Story now has more Ks than Jackie Bradley Jr. and Verdugo combined.

Story now has more Ks than Jackie Bradley Jr. and Verdugo combined.

 

And honestly looks clueless in doing so at bat

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I like a good Story as much as anybody, but I'm afraid this Story may have a Carl Crawford ending.

Or maybe a Renteria ending. Neither ending is good.

[vegasbob]

Does anyone think that bringing in Bogaerts' replacement while X was still ostensibly negotiating an extension sent the most negative possible message to this team , leading to a truly uninspired season ? It should not affect the individual AB's plaguing this team but they have seem uninspired since day 1

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Cease is a very good pitcher, not that it matters.

[moonslav59]

Cease will cause the RED SOX offense? to desist.

 

We need to cease and desist taking borderline pitches and swinging at balls in the dirt.

My next astonishment came from reading that Chris "Frail" Sale's recovery and return to the mound is now delayed a few weeks due to a"personal medical issue" . This walking medical disaster is way beyond his expiration date. He will be the newest dead money contract for the Sox. I cannot be enthused thinking about this straw in the wind.

Dems the chances an organization takes when handing out expensive long-term contracts.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Btw, obviously leading MLB in doubles means absolutely nothing. Especially if that same team also leads MLB in not scoring from 2nd base. Edited May 7, 2022 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

DEVERS DEliVERS!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Not a crooked number, but, at least, not circular.

[Oscars]

Pivetta having a great outing so far

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Excellent job today by Pivetta. Starting pitching continues to be the best thing about this team. Who'd a thunk?

Indeed, but why does he het to go 3 times through an order but not Wacha or Hill?

It did not start out that way, this season.

 

The pen actually started out better, but wow, the starters have really stepped up.

 

Too bad nobody else has.

My concern is say the SOX offense does start producing runs; will the starters be able to adjust to having more runs to work with?

[Oscars]

To a degree I understand managing the 42 year old Hill’s innings, but Wacha should have a longer leash

Fair enough.

 

Can we please stop the Houck piggybank cah-cah?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Watching this RED SOX offense? is like watching the 2nd coat of paint to dry.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Tuff break for Story; a little more wind and he would have had a hit.

Btw, paint shouldn't take over a month to dry.

[moonslav59]

Schreiber might just be a keeper, or is everyone else in the pen so bad, a couple good games in a row is all you need to be promoted to the top set-up man?

[Oscars]

Verdugo looks lost at the plate .

He lets 2 hittable strikes go by, then swings at a ball below the plate .
