5/17 vs Astros

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Looking on the positive side I believe the SOX have the best 2-3-4 hitters in MLB at this point.

I'll be sure to post more positive news when and if it occurs.

[JDavis76]

The SOX and Astros are tied in hits, but the SOX have more scattered hits.

 

And houston has more that cleared the fence......

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Once JD heats up I can see a long winning streak.

That Danish went bad

Does JD also pitch?

Not bad for a slow bat.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Yup, 2 of them provided 7 runs.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The baseball must look like a volleyball to JD for the last couple of weeks.

Same for Judge, 2 more hr's and a double tonight!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Offensively, the SOX remind me of The King and His Court in that they only had 4 players in the line-up.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The highest paid 'clean-up' reliever in MLB.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Same for Judge, 2 more hr's and a double tonight!

 

A Man Called Horse.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Does Story end the season with more or less HR's than the number on his jersey? Or does he hit the exact number that's on his jersey?

[redsoxrules]

Call up the kids tonight and DFA JBJ and Franchy .I want Duran up yesterday

 

Oh JBJ can catch balls in the outfield!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Damn, if this game was being played in the Yankem sand box, the SOX would have had, at least, 3 more HR'S.

Probably not, the weather affects the sox hitters more than other teams.

[Old Red]

Some on here were making excuses for JBJ’s bad year last year like like new team in a new league, and facing different pitchers. Glad to see being back in familiar surroundings have straightened him back out.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Maybe, but that RF fence in Yankem park is an embarrassment. At least the Monster at Fenway is high.

[Old Red]

Hope Pivetta can go deep tomorrow night. Since Cora’s bullpen game on Sunday the bullpen have been pretty busy, and could use a break.

[moonslav59]

One could argue that JD has been the best long-term contract the SOX have given.

 

It hasn't ended like Manny's, but yes, one could argue it was.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Except for that 2nd inning this game would be tied.

He stinks period. He will have his usual streak where he will be good for one month of the season and fans will call it a good season. Same crap every year with him.

 

Meanwhile Renfroe is looking like he will duplicate last year's production which many fans said he wouldn't and it was fluke.

[moonslav59]

[/b]]I'm not sure why, I don't spend hours upon hours dissecting this team the way you do, that's why I asked you.

 

But I have a hard time believing that the weather affects one team more than the other teams. It certainly doesn't seem to be bothering the astros tonight.

 

We do play in colder climes than most teams, and I said it might be 10% of a factor. Might.

 

I took a stab at some possible factors. I'm just guessing.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Well the Astros aren't the Rangers offensively, so I wouldn't bet my house on it.

[moonslav59]

Not bad for a slow bat.

 

BTW, what ever happened to the poster who swore he could tell JD's bat had slowed and was destined to continue slowing further?

[moonslav59]

A Man Called Horse.

 

A horse called man.

[Old Red]

BTW, what ever happened to the poster who swore he could tell JD's bat had slowed and was destined to continue slowing further?

 

And to think that more than one on here wanted JD traded this past offseason.

[JDavis76]

Except for that 2nd inning this game would be tied.

 

Except for the bullet Kennedy was enjoying a nice ride in a convertible.

[redsoxrules]

I'd extend JD for the right price. His OPS so far with the Sox is at 916. He's been worth it

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That triangle at Fenway is unforgiving.
