5/17 vs Astros

[Bellhorn04]

Franchy has a 122 wRC+ since May 1. He needs to run into a HR or two.

 

That damn Manfred rolled up sock ball...

 

Now that's funny.

[moonslav59]

Correct, and that's why I clarified my question.

 

And, again, since there are only 2 teams behind the sox, I don't think the cold weather excuse really holds up.

 

Also, I never said that they suck. And I don't know why their power is down, that's why I asked an "expert".

 

You don't think cold weather can have any affect, just because a few teams ahead of the Sox did not drop off a cliff by as much?

 

I'm not saying it's a major factor, but I do think it plays a role. We had a lot of hitters, last year, that took off at some point in May and June.

 

Maybe the dead ball is 50%, the slumping is 40% and the cold weather 10%. Who knows?

 

Why not tell us your opinion?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

DEVERS DEliVERS!

[vegasbob]

You could say that Urquidy is hittable. Now if we had a lead off man with some kind of OBP.....

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

SOX one run leads are magical as in how fast they disappear.

[Thunder]

SOX one run leads are magical as in how fast they disappear.

 

As long as it's not a deficit, I don't see the problem. This is the ultimate game of ups and downs

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Oops.

[vegasbob]

Nate's nemesis, the HR

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Oh well, at least the SOX 2-3-4 hitters will have, hopefully, 3 more times at bat.

[a700hitter]

Eovaldi is throwing BP tonight. Get him out of there.

[vegasbob]

One HR in an inning ( or game) can be a mistake. 3 in a one out inning is tough to win with. Although Syndergaard gave up 6 runs in his first inning last night.

[iortiz]

LOL this is simply unbelievable

[vegasbob]

Now it is just plain embarrassing to watch. One game win streaks ???

 

12 HR's in 41 innings. Not good for the ol' ERA

[a700hitter]

It was obvious after he gave up the second HR that he is throwing BP. Cora had to invoke the 7 run rule and give away the game.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Can't remember a starter getting hit this hard.

[iortiz]

oks, time to go with Brasier and Barnes all the way.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Might as well bring in Bra Man.

[vegasbob]

oks, time to go with Brasier and Barnes all the way.

 

Firing nothing but BB's from here on out

[a700hitter]

oks, time to go with Brasier and Barnes all the way.

Go with Plawecki to keep the score from getting too embarrassing.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

People pay to see HR's.

[iortiz]

Wow! another one LOL

[bmattioli]

And Cora sits there watching F him..

[a700hitter]

Is this a record?

[Old Red]

Go with Plawecki to keep the score from getting too embarrassing.

 

Who has a more dazed look Cora, or Evol?

[vegasbob]

Clearly the problem is Plawecki's pitch calls and framing. Although it is hard to frame a pitch that lands 400' away. Keep watching this may be a true All-Time record for one inning.

[iortiz]

Is this a record?

 

Must be.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

"Just a tough day for Nate." Brilliant, Youk.

[harmony]

The Twins of the 1960s once hit five homers in an inning.

Twins in the 7th inning vs KC A’s at Metropolitan Stadium, June 9th, 1966. Only time it happened in the AL. Rich Rollins, Zoilo Versalles, Tony Oliva, Don Mincher and Harmon Killebrew. Twins scored 6 runs in the inning and won 9–4.

Before today five other teams reportedly have hit five home runs in an inning.

They love to give days off? this is the day Cora.

[vegasbob]

Must be.

 

Tied an all time record
