Whitlock just needs to be a better starter.

[redsoxrules]

Whitlock should be the closer, not a starter. I have said that for a month now.

 

Same. He's way more effective as a reliever.

Much as I love their losing streak, the Angels are due to win a game. Even the Reds win once in a while. Speaking of which, there are a ton of crappy teams in MLB this year. And Houston is blessed to continue to be in the weakest division in MLB.

[Old Red]

He doesn’t have the secondary pitches.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Productive out. Sort of an oxymoron.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Dalbec is too young to have such a slow bat.

[vegasbob]

Another man on second, no outs, can't score him. Dalbec inextricably to useless even against bad LH'er. Kike isn't my favorite either

[d-money]

You have to hit suarez more.

I looked up 'rag arm' on the internet and there was a picture of Suarez. SOX should be pounding this guy. Both teams are on opposite types of streaks, and is the case, all streaks are eventually broken. Hopefully, it won't be the SOX.

Tony Mass agrees too.

The SOX got more out of Kike last year than they ever expected. This year, so far, not so much.

[d-money]

Need to get that offense rolling.

[d-money]

Let’s go sox!!!!! Come on.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Tony Mass agrees too.

 

I'm pretty sure that once the SOX farm develops a starter then Whitlock can be the closer. Of course, Whitlock may be in his late 30's when that happens.

Sox still featuring 3 guys in this lineup whose combined BA's do not total .600

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Wade Martinez slapped that one hard. Does a player get more money for BA or for HR's?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Vegas, there's more than a couple of teams in MLB this season that can say the same.

[moonslav59]

Vegas, there's more than a couple of teams in MLB this season that can say the same.

 

Some dont total .550

[moonslav59]

This game is still very winnable.

[Old Red]

Good for you, and have a great time!

 

And don't forget to boo loudly every time Whitlock has a good inning: Old Red wants him closing, not starting.

 

Mass spelled it all out for you during the broadcast why he should be in the BP. He just looked exhausted pretty much the whole game too.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

In case anyone is interested, Story is 4th in K's in MLB with 69. Schwarber is 3rd with 70.

[Tedballgame]

Dickman sucking again.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That should lower Trout's WAR, because his replacement just drove in a run.

[Old Red]

Now the bullpen takes over in a close game that hasn’t happened to much lately. Can you say STREAKMAN?

[vegasbob]

Diekman's walk scores, what else is new?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Some teams can't wait to go to their BP; unfortunately, the SOX aren't one of them.

[d-money]

A really s***** game thus far.

[moonslav59]

Diekman's walk scores, what else is new?

 

Has a leadoff walk ever not scored against this pen?

[Old Red]

Bloom’s pride, and joy.

[d-money]

This offense has been sleeping the last couple of innings. Need to do something.
