6/11 @ Mariners

[Maxbialystock]

Wacha vs. Kirby, both righties. Sox beat Kirby May 19, 12-6. He's a rookie off to a decent start (3.38 ERA and 1.09 WHIP). Wacha threw 105 pitches his last time out--a no-baloney 3 hit shutout, all 9 innings. The White Sox hit him hard on May 26, but no one else has in 9 total starts and an ERA of 1.99, WHIP 0.91.

 

Game again starts 10:10 pm.

 

Whitlock (right hip--similar to Eovaldi's issue, but he is cleared to play) now on 15 day IL.

 

Valdez back with the Sox.

 

Today's Sox roster shows 14 pitchers and 12 position players.

 

Cora loves to change his lineup, but, even though last night's Seattle starter was a lefty and tonight's is a righty, I think he will go with the same lineup: Refsnyder RF, Devers 3b, JDM DH, Bogey SS, Story 2b, Vazquez C, Cordero LF (where he looked better than I ever remember him looking in RF), Bradley CF, and Dalbec 1b.

The Red Sox have beaten the Seattle Mariners five times in a season for the first time since the 2013 World Series champions went 6-1 against the M's (who returned the favor the following year with a 5-1 record against the 71-91 Sox). Edited June 11, 2022 by harmony

Wrong about the lineup. Verdugo is back in LF, Cordero in RF, and the Sox have 4 lefty bats including Devers and JBJ. Story leads off in lieu of Refsnyder (on the bench) and Verdugo is back batting 5th. Hitters 2 thru 4 and 6 thru 9 remain the same as last night.

Nice job Max.

[Maxbialystock]

JDM finally got a dinger last night, so tonight is my chance to apologize again to redsoxrules for my comments on last night's thread.

[Old Red]

Yankees are bombing tonight.

[moonslav59]

Good to see CLE & TOR lose.

I played back the JD HR on my DVR.

 

If you zoom in, you can read his lips. He says, "This one is for you, Max" right before going yard!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Thank goodness I'm getting the NESN feed tonight.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hard to believe the SOX are second in the AL in runs scored with Bogey and JD having a combined total of 51 RBI.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

DEVERS DEliVERS!

[Old Red]

Sox playing some more small ball tonight. Love it!

[Old Red]

More small ball. The Go Go Red Sox.

[a700hitter]

Get Franchy a basket to take into the OF.

[d-money]

The Sox need to sweep this team.

[Tedballgame]

Franchy's error is going to cost Wacha a lot of extra pitches.

[d-money]

Come on wacha. Can’t allow when you get spotted 3 runs.

[Tedballgame]

This inning is turning into a cluster

[d-money]

They better bring those bats tonight. Ridiculous.

[d-money]

Ridiculous man. This is one of the many problems with this team.

[d-money]

Come on wacha get out of the inning.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Between Cordero butchering that fly ball and Wacha due for a bad start, this could be another long game.

[Tedballgame]

That ball should have been caught too.

[d-money]

Talk about a cluster f***.

[iortiz]

whata disaster lol

[d-money]

This is why they’re not going anywhere. You can’t have this crap on a consistent basis if you’re trying to crawl yourself back into the playoff picture.

[iortiz]

It's going to be a looong game man

[iortiz]

Wavha at 34 piches lol

[d-money]

Better get those runs back.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Can't wait for Story to get hot again. Hopefully before the All-star game.
