5/20 vs M's

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Not catching that ball has changed the whole inning.

 

If a team has perhaps the best defensive OF'r in baseball, use him to help protect leads. It isn't like he's replacing Ted Williams in RF.

1st start after 15 day IL. Not that bad.

[Old Red]

That’s on Cora for putting Arroyo out there, and Bloom for not getting a regular RHH RF to put out there.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The SOX LH relievers as a group have been pretty dependable so far.

[moonslav59]

When Bloom trades one of note to get someone of note like DD did let me know.

 

They haven't been in that mode, yet.

 

The closest they came was trading A Ramirez for 2 months of Schwarber.

[moonslav59]

Nobody notable was given up. Not in the Sale, and Kimbrel category, or even Rizzo for that matter.

 

From what I've been hearing, none of the guys DD traded were any good anyway. That's the scuttlebutt, I hear, here.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Austin Davis has been a big surprise this season. A surprise of the good variety.

Moncada?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

When facing a good pitcher like Ray with his outstanding slider, a batter has to guess to have any success.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Moncada?

 

He wasn't a proven big leaguer when he was traded, although he was a highly regarded prospect.

[Old Red]

Who’s closing tonight?

That’s what I was going on that he was a highly regarded prospect. Kopech was also.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Who’s closing tonight?

 

I'm guessing Strahm. I'm hoping Strahm.

[moonslav59]

Moncada?

 

I was not one of the guys saying we gave up nothing.

 

I like Moncada, Kopech & Margot. I was just saying several posters have said things like, "None of these guys would be playing for us, now."

[moonslav59]

Who’s closing tonight?

 

Let's get to the closer, first,

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That's a catch. The ground caused the fumble.

[Old Red]

Red Sox Infielders, and outfielders have had trouble communicating all night long. The outfielders have to take more charge.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Doesn't appear that anyone called for that flyball.

Let's get to the closer, first,

 

That question shouldn’t even have to be asked, but it does on the Red Sox 40 games into the season.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

******** call by chumps. He had possession more than long enough.

[Old Red]

Doesn't appear that anyone called for that flyball.

 

That’s the point the outfielders need to take charge. Especially Dugy.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Tough luck for Schrieber that inning.

[vegasbob]

Dugo should have laid out for that soft hit to left. He was close enough, IMO. The run scored anyway and worse case was that the batter reached second. Schreiber took care of that with the K

Dugo has to play smarter in LF, if that's at all possible.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I had a feeling Bogey would leave the game. Love his game, but he is of the fragile variety. Similar to Ellsbury.

[d-money]

Hanging on for dear life in this game. 🤦*♂️

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Franchy wants his 1st base job back.

[redsoxrules]

I had a feeling Bogey would leave the game. Love his game, but he is of the fragile variety. Similar to Ellsbury.

 

Not even close. He's constantly playing over 140+ games every year.

Wow, not sure i buy that comment. Ellsbury was skilled but not a gamer, IMO

Just hoping Bogie will be back tomorrow.
