Pivetta on the mound vs Ohtani.

 

Both have been up and down this year, but Pivetta is in a groove lately and Ohtani has rejoined the human race. Still, I expect another tough game.

I think most players have a few up and down streaks in a season and over a career.

 

I'm not sure Pivetta has been extremely up and down, except in the sense that he has been much better since joining the Sox than he was with Philly.

 

5.50 ERA w Philly (1.433 WHIP)

4.13 ERA w BOS (1.249)

 

That being said, here are his cherry-picked sample sizes...

 

2022

10.30 ERA in first 3 starts

1.98 last 8 starts

 

2021

3.78 first 12 starts

5.63 middle 9 starts

4.43 last 9 starts (3.17 last 5)

[Old Red]

Bogey, and Story Land both resting tonight.

Twinkies start the bottom of the 1st with 3 straight HR's off of Cole.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Fun Fact:

 

Going into the 3rd game of this 3 game series, the Twinkies have lost 24 straight series to the Yankems. Twinkies have a chance to break that miserable streak tonight. But I'm pretty optimistic they won't.

Buxton just hit another dinger off Cole in the bottom of the 2nd. I'm loving this. Cole has thrown 53 pitches and there's only one out in the 2nd. Edited June 10, 2022 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

[d-money]

Need the sweep tonight.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Twins up 6-3 after 2, but unfortunately for the Twins they have the mediocre Dylan Bundy on the mound.

[Nick]

Rob Refsnyder to join Boston Red Sox; outfielder is on his way to Anaheim, per sources

 

I love this type of move.....let's see what these guys got. Always looking for diamond in the rough.

 

Duran is not coming because Sox will be facing 3 lefty starters in next 4 games. Cora is always thinking.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Bottom of the 3rd and the Twins have just hit their 5th homer off Cole.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

After giving up a double, Cole has been removed from the game for his own protection.

[Thunder]

If we win tonight, I officially petition we stay on the west coast for the rest of the season

Twinkies will find a way and lose that game.

I mean when you start off like the way this team did the only cure is like a 15 game winning streak right now.

[d-money]

The twinkies are a joke.

[d-money]

That first inning sucked dick.

[d-money]

7-7 Yankees vs twins. Twins are just embarrassing man. Hard to believe they’re 33-25. Always look pathetic against the Yankees.

[d-money]

Need good pivetta tonight.

[d-money]

This offense is cold right now. Pivetta has to keep us in the game.

[d-money]

Pivetta struggling to get batters out.

[d-money]

Looks like that winning streak will come to an end.

It's the second inning.

[d-money]

Bases juiced and two outs.

[d-money]

It's the second inning.

 

I don’t like how pivetta looks tonight. He’s all over the place.

[moonslav59]

Saint Nick!

[d-money]

Well he lucked out there. This offense needs to hit.

So, that means certain defeat?

[d-money]

Our offense has absolutely sucked lately.
