5/24 @ ChiSox

[iortiz]

Offense is literally hitting everything lol

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Until further notice the 'bottom of the line-up' will be referred to as 'extension of the line-up.'

[d-money]

Save some of these runs for tomorrow. We might be needing them.

[moonslav59]

Franchy may end up being a better player than Benintendi. He has a lot of potential. He just needs consistent playing time.

 

Beni had 2 years of team control left, and one turned out to be the COVID season.

[iortiz]

Love these kind of games. I can drink my scotch and smoke my cigar relaxed lol

[moonslav59]

Vazz- a- doodle-doo!

[d-money]

The orioles suck. Looks like they will lose.

Hey, weren't you the one who complained about the SOX lack of offense? Now you want them to slow down.

The O's suck even when they win. The Yankems don't suck, but they do lead the league in signing A-holes.

On Story b atting 6th. It seems Cora really likes the lefty-righty flip-flops in a line-up but accepts the Bogey-JD back-to-back righties right in the middle of the lineup.

 

Here are two possible solutions:

 

1. Bat Story first and Kike 6th.

 

2. Bat Story 2nd, behind Kike and have 2 righties 1 & 2, with Devers 3rd, and two righties 4th & 5th (Bogey & JD). Then, the lefty Verdugo bats 6th, if Cordero doesn't win the slot from him..

Hey, Moon, let's not fix something that isn't broken. If it becomes broken, then let's consider some fixes.

Naw man i just want them to get that winning streak going. Get back to 500.

[d-money]

Orioles escape the 10th inning.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Is it too early to bring in Plawecki?

[Oscars]

All of a sudden Dugo now has the lowest OPS of the starters at .590

Dugo will start hitting; probably when one of the guys who's hot now stops hitting.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Two outs in a row. What's happening?

[vegasbob]

Alan Porter has concluded that the RedSox have enough runs, and therefore if the pitch is anywhere in the vicinity of the strike zone, you better be swinging

Another one of baseball's "unwritten rules."

Porter is saying I have watched 259 pitches so far , 19 runs and there is still 18 outs to go. Enough, already

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Who's closing for the SOX tonight?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Another fine performance from N. Pivetta.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Good game for Cora to use his RH relievers, except for Schrieber.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Keep this Valesquez in the game so he can't be used tomorrow. Quez vs Quez.

[illinoisredsox]

Sox have multiple players out of position now. No Arroyo? Or is he going to hit for JD in the 9th?

[vegasbob]

Please note that Matt Barnes is displaying all that is wrong with him. 16-3 lead, he walks 2 uses 27 pitches , due to his lack of control. His mechanics, particularly on the overthrown FBs are very bad. His curve while a sharp breaker is often spiked in front of the plate. He is a hot mess and of little use to this team if it recovers to the point of strongly competing to pass the BlueJays. No confidence vote from here. Matt must actively not pay attention to his coaching and just is a lost soul with respect to baseball pitching

[moonslav59]

It's games like this that get teams to click, although we seemed to be clicking pretty well, before tonight.

 

Just don't lose 2-1, tom orrow.

[moonslav59]

2 games under .500, now, with a chance to pass the CWS, tomorrow.

 

We're 2.5 behind TOR and the final WC slot. May is not even over, yet.

[Oscars]

Another fine performance from N. Pivetta.

He is too good a hitter and will find his stoke, but this is a prolonged slump, as he is hitting .191 over 30 games

No, Beni was traded before the 2021 season.
