Welp if this game goes extra innings. Gotta get there first.

[vegasbob]

Put your shift in your butt

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

This offense is letting them down tonight. 🤦*♂️

 

The starting pitching let them down tonight.

[d-money]

Ughhh here we go.

[moonslav59]

Why would you want your top RBI man leading off? Who is going to drive in the runs that Story has even if they were getting the same opportunities with men on base.

 

Our bottom of the order is doing much better the last 3-4 weeks.

Story is fast.

Leading Kike off is a mistake.

I guess we could lead off our best singles hitter- JD, but we already have issues scoring from 2B on doubles.

Meh they should have gotten more runs off suarez.

[d-money]

Get somebody out plz.

Are you saying Cora is wrong leading Kike off? I agree Cora is wrong.

[d-money]

RIP. Need to execute here.

I hope you don't believe the SOX are gonna average 7 runs/game for the rest of the season. You'll be very disappointed.

Naw man i know but after last night’s game i figure they would score more today. They’re more than capable.

[moonslav59]

Just because I really like Cofra, does not mean I never disagree.

 

(BTW, many times I disagree, his choice works, so who is wrong?)

 

Cora did stick with Kike in the leadoff slot a long time, last year, and it finally paid off. Was he wrong? In hindsight, I'd say yes. He should have know precisely when Kike was going to heat up, and put him leading off that very day.

 

[d-money]

Well the offense has to come through now. They have to find a way and score here.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I wonder if Cora would have IW Ohtani if Trout was still in the game. Definitely would have been a much tougher decision.

[BOSOX11]

Looking at Suarez's ERA, I thought the Sox would use him like a batting practice pitcher.

We've had many chances.

 

Not that 5 is a bad number.

[moonslav59]

Story on base for the third time, tonight (lol.)

[moonslav59]

Looking at Suarez's ERA, I thought the Sox would use him like a batting practice pitcher.

 

I know it's probably all in my head, but I swear we hit good pitching better than we do unknowns and struggling pitchers.

Any pitcher at the major league level is capable of shutting down any other team. How often they can do it is what separates the great from the good from the average from the poor.

[vegasbob]

Dugo couldn't do his rollover grounder to right side

[moonslav59]

We might have a better chance at scoring without a ghost runner.

 

[moonslav59]

Vaz-ectomy!!!

deVAZtating. When your package on 2nd needs to arrive home, call VAZ delivery service.

[Old Red]

Vaz’s RBI are usually clutch ones.

I posted earlier on another thread that VAZ deserves more love than he's been getting. Not many catchers hit as well as he does.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Bobby Dee Pee

 

He hasn't been striking out as much lately, so that's a positive sign. Baby steps.

[d-money]

Well here we go.

[d-money]

Strahm?

[illinoisredsox]

Bobby Dee Pee

 

Base hit pre shift. Of course, his first RBI hit of the night was a routine grounder pre shift as well. The shift giveth and the shift taketh away.
