6/11 @ Mariners

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The lead-off spot in the SOX line-up is cursed.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Kike, Dugo, and VAZ all have more RBI than Jay Dee.

[Old Red]

Wacha is paying for that complete game tonight.

[illinoisredsox]

Kike, Dugo, and VAZ all have more RBI than Jay Dee.

 

Verdugo does. Vaz and Kike have the same number as Martinez. 24.

[Maxbialystock]

Wacha is paying for that complete game tonight.

 

He threw 105 pitches in the complete game, which is hardly onerous. He threw 92 pitches vs. the Jays on 27 April and in his next game vs. the Angels he went 5.2 shutout innings.

[illinoisredsox]

Wacha is paying for that complete game tonight.

 

Can’t pin it on that, that was a pretty stress free game. But he has nothing tonight for sure.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Clueless in Seattle.

[moonslav59]

Not Wacha's night. I guess he was due for a bad night, but maybe we can find a way to salvage this game.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Verdugo does. Vaz and Kike have the same number as Martinez. 24.

 

VAZ got his 25th tonight. But, yes, Kike and JD are tied. My bad.

[illinoisredsox]

VAZ got his 25th tonight. But, yes, Kike and JD are tied. My bad.

 

Vaz got his 24th tonight, unless both ESPN and Baseball Reference are wrong.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Can’t pin it on that, that was a pretty stress free game. But he has nothing tonight for sure.

 

Even the most talented pitchers have a few off nights during the season. Ask Garrett Cole.

[d-money]

This team is seriously jekyll and hyde.

[illinoisredsox]

Not Wacha's night. I guess he was due for a bad night, but maybe we can find a way to salvage this game.

 

Given they don’t know what they are doing pitching wise tomorrow, he may have to take one for the team tonight.

[illinoisredsox]

Even the most talented pitchers have a few off nights during the season. Ask Garrett Cole.

 

Yep. What was it Mussina said? You get around 32 starts a season. You’ll have everything working in 8 of them, something working in 16 of them and nothing working in 8 of them (or words to that effect).

If they say 24, then I'll stand corrected. Either way, JD having the same amount as Kike and VAZ isn't what the SOX are paying him for.

[iortiz]

the error by Cordero changed the whole thing.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

This team is seriously jekyll and hyde.

 

They're 7-1 on this west coast swing. That doesn't sound too schizoid to me.

[illinoisredsox]

That is a very true statement. And it’s not like Devers or Bogie (the guys he’s hit behind most of the season) are over the moon with RBIs.

[illinoisredsox]

the error by Cordero changed the whole thing.

 

Wacha has been hammered most of the night; that error may have opened the door, but it’s not like the inning should have been over.

 

One could say Crawford’s error changed the top of the first.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That is a very true statement. And it’s not like Devers or Bogie (the guys he’s hit behind most of the season) are over the moon with RBIs.

 

Devers has an excuse; he follows the lead-of batter and the bottom of the line-up.

[illinoisredsox]

Oh, I know. My point was more that it’s not like the guys in front of him are driving in so many men that there’s none for JD. He’s left an awful lot of guys on, especially considering Devers has spent the season on second base.

[Old Red]

Franchy, and his luster are starting to wear off.

[illinoisredsox]

Starting to see why the Mariners think they have something special in Kirby; he’s really settled down and is showing dome real good stuff right now.

[d-money]

What happened to this offense? They have stopped hitting.

[harmony]

the error by Cordero changed the whole thing.

As did the error by J.P. Crawford.

[Oscars]

Franchy, and his luster are starting to wear off.

 

Franchy hitting .163 in his last 15 games

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I know some here would not be happy with this, but I see Bloom attempting to obtain Merrifield. RH batting RF with a .286 lifetime BA.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Oh, I know. My point was more that it’s not like the guys in front of him are driving in so many men that there’s none for JD. He’s left an awful lot of guys on, especially considering Devers has spent the season on second base.

 

That is very true.

[d-money]

Wacha has to keep us in this game. Despite the errors this has been a crappy start for wacha.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice play by VAZ!
