May 7th Red vs White

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

I'll translate for Eck: "I'll be Barned. Back to the meatball."

[notin]

Thinking 5 runs off Barnes here

[moonslav59]

Barnes vs. Abreu? Barnes isn't good in back-to-back games when he's "right" and the Red Sox have been looking to "get him right" since last August.

 

There are other situations you bring someone in to try and get it right, but this is not one.

 

Not that we have anyone better to bring in, since Houck is locked into piggy backing Hill.

[notin]

Stupid, stupid play by Kike

[jung]

The fans shivering in the cold not leaving....."punish us, punish us...we deserve it God"

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

30 to 1.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

How dare Barnes wear the same number as Jim Brown.

[notin]

Now if Kike didn’t throw him, that’s a double play ball…

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Tony Maz: "The last few innings they haven't gotten cheated"... wasn't talking about the fans.

[MADSTORK]

You have 15 pitchers in the roster and you run out a reliever who can’t pitch anymore?

The third Stooge should have been traded 2 years ago

 

Rumors have it Cora and Orlando not seeing eye to eye on Roster management

Bye bye

[jung]

What a back to back combination...Robles to Barnes....YIKES

[iortiz]

DFA Barnes. Addition by subtraction.

[notin]

Thinking Bloom needs to DFA Barnes just to keep Cora from using him in extra inning games

[notin]

What a back to back combination...Robles to Barnes....YIKES

 

 

Robles gets out of that inning if Cora has Devers guard the line…

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

JH looked at last night's and today's attendance and said "no problem here."

[jung]

Barnes is aiming the ball now.

[notin]

So even if Barnes gets this hitter, the Sox need to score two in the tenth after scoring 3 in the previous 18 innings

[MADSTORK]

DFA Bloom who handed out the Barnes extension

 

This ain’t in Cora

 

How bout Bobby in the 9th hey 59 ? What’s that Who song “get fooled again” no bat speed in that AB hey my friend

[jung]

Robles gets out of that inning if Cora has Devers guard the line…

 

Robles had already given up a run by then.

[MADSTORK]

XB will be shown the door while Story book from Coors field collects 100 plus million

 

Brilliant move ! Just Brilliant

 

Meanwhile Scherzer in NY

[notin]

And we can expect Liam Hendricks in the 10th.

 

Story at second.

 

Devers, Bogaerts and JD due up.

 

This is their best chance to actually score..

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Robles walked the leadoff batter in the 9th on the team that's taken the least amount of bases on balls in the majors.

[jung]

Well we can't hit and we can't pitch. I would have said fielding would be a weakness at the start of the season. We appear to be fielding better than we do anything else. Who'd a thunk it?

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Boston's ghost runner is its ghost batter.

Right. Starting pitching is the problem with the Sox.

 

That’s how bad this team is right now. Even our trolls suck…

[moonslav59]

Brutal.

[jung]

Sox 0-6 in extras. Sort of tells the bullpen story.

[a700hitter]

No one in the pen is reliable enough to lock down saves at a 90% rate. And when tour team isn’t hitting, you need to lock up the games when you are leading.

[Tedballgame]

Time to start scouting the top players who will be in the draft next year. Looks like the Red Sox will be picking in the top three.

[iortiz]

And people keep will saying that closers are not special.

 

We need a closer badly.
