5/21 vs M’s

[mvp 78]

Whitlock vs Flexen

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Let's hope the SOX can continue to 'FLEX' the muscles today.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

After his last two games Story is now tied with Ohtani for 5th in RBI in the AL with 27.

Whitlock having trouble getting his sinking FB down

[Tedballgame]

Whitlock is a great reliever and an average starter, as I have said before.

[vegasbob]

A couple of weeks ago and this 3-0 deficit was looking insurmountable already. Now we are expecting to score 5-6-7 , so it's game on.

May need more than 7 today.

[Tedballgame]

Whitlock's ERA up to 3.56 with this disaster.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

In the words of Daffy Duck, "This is despicable"

[Tedballgame]

With all of these pitches he may only go 1 inning today.

[Tedballgame]

Laughable that the ump checked him for foreign substance. He just gave up 4 runs and 6 hits in one inning. I don't think he is cheating.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Good and bad news:

 

Good news: It's early.

Bad News: It's early.

He should have been.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Pops leading off.

[vegasbob]

Kike's ( err, Pops) OBP is about .262. Not a prototypical leadoff hitter numbers. AC really needs to figure out how to get somebody on base in front of the big 3, plus Story now

[vegasbob]

Dugo's .250 OBP appears to not be the answer either

[jad]

If Whitlock (poster child of the BLoom era) were an average starter, the RS wouldn't be down 4 runs after a 1/2 inning.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Damn, I was just ready to post "Roy Hobbs blasts another one." Oh, well, only in movies.

[vegasbob]

Regrettably , another edition of Boston Pops

Good one, Vegas. Arthur Fiedler would be proud.

[vegasbob]

Good one, Vegas. Arthur Fiedler would be proud.

 

Yeah, but old Art was a poor Fielder ( no range)

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The problem I see is how much confidence is Whitlock going to lose from being a starter? Will this affect his performance if he is(hopefully) put back in the BP?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Yeah, but old Art was a poor Fielder ( no range)

 

Wow, that was a stretch.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

More good news:

 

I don't believe the Yankems can play .750 ball the entire season.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

We didn't lose a Pedey, we gained a Story.

[vegasbob]

shoot, 2 outs no one on, and 3 straight hits. Whitlock either gets this next one or get a shower

He'll be taking a shower, I'm guessing, as I post this.

[d-money]

When you bury yourself early you can’t afford to drop games. This team is still under 500 in late may. What a s***** start from whitlock . That’s not what they needed.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If a ballplayer is having a bad year, he should simply change his nickname to BOOG.

 

Boog Dalbec.

Imagine if Pops could actually get on base in front of Devers
