5/17 vs Astros

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Cora asked Plawecki, hows his stuff? Plawecki answered, I don't know; haven't caught one yet.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

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

 

Was it off the same pitcher?

[vegasbob]

The game is still winnable, but only if Kike can get on base. Urquidy may not do much better than Nate . Notice we had 2 warning track balls while Astros cleared the walls.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It all started with that dropped throw by Cordero. Must have affected EO's concentration.

I think you're assuming the Astros stop at 9 runs.

No.

 

Two off Catfish Hunter, two off one reliever and one off another reliever:

I know he plays there, but Franchy is not a 1B, and it will happen again.

No,

Thanks.

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

 

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

That reference says 6 times and predates the Yankees doing it in 2020, so it’s been done 8 times now.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Some teams, unlike the SOX, actually score in more than one inning.

[vegasbob]

It is reaching the time to call BS on JBJr. Should not have been brough6t back to play regularly and his cost exceeds any reasonable 4th OF'er. Hope the prospects mature someday

[iortiz]

I know he plays there, but Franchy is not a 1B, and it will happen again.

 

2 outs and nobody on paths scenario? definitely another game moving forward.

[vegasbob]

Kike's not far behind Jackie, and thankfully we won't be feeding his kids for the next 10 years

[illinoisredsox]

In breaking news, Sox get a man on second with nobody out and fail to score.

[iortiz]

Let Arroyo and Duran play instead of JBJ and Kike. Cant be worse.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

"Nothing comes of lead-off double." That should be the title of the SOX season video.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

JD and Bogey both know it's a contract year.

[vegasbob]

Nice blow by JDM.. Had f***wit Cora even just made a mound visit after it was 5-1, now 5-3, maybe he could have helped the situation. Cordero has few excuses for his glove. He didn't ask to be called up and play in lieu of Dalbec Edited May 18, 2022 by vegasbob

[Old Red]

JD and Bogey both know it's a contract year.

 

And to think that some on here wanted JD traded, before the season.

[mvp 78]

So… about that famed Plawecki CERA…

[Swiharts Ghost]

players need to as a group just weather this catastrophe start and grind .Early for Fenway .

[Swiharts Ghost]

Let’s freaking Goooooooooi

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

We'll accept all the help the Astros give us.

Cora messed things up by thinking he had to go to a bullpen game on Sun.

[vegasbob]

JDM, Bogy and Devers must feel like it is 3 vs 9 in the first 20% of the season . They certainly know there will be some significant payoff, this coming offseason ( are we there yet?) or after 2023. Good for them

[Swiharts Ghost]

Want some violent angry swings

[Swiharts Ghost]

Now blast here we have a game

[Swiharts Ghost]

Franchy Due for a blast

[Swiharts Ghost]

On you KP

[vegasbob]

Franchy is in the game because Dalbec couldn't hit. With 2 on and one out, Cordero fouls out behind 3rd. These guys are true AAAA'ers masquerading as MLB hitters
