6/17 Cards @ SOX 7:10PM ET

[d-money]

Yankees destroying the jays 10-1. Can’t wait till we play against the yankees to see where this team is at currently.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Arenado and Goldschmidt are one hell of a duo

 

Agree. But not as good as the Manny/David duo. Not sure it's possible to set the bar higher than that.

Manny and Ortiz weren't Batman and Robin. They were Batman and Superman.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

JBJ continues his success hitting to opposite field.

[Old Red]

JBJ against a lefty. Starting to hit more, and more.

Comparing Mike Maddux to Greg Maddux is like comparing Tommy Aaron to Hank Aaron. Edited June 18, 2022 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

DEVERS DEliVERS!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

There's a few things that will never be seen again in MLB, but the one that tops my list is 3 brothers playing in the outfield at the same time on a major league team.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hard to believe Dugo didn't anticipate an inside pitch.

[Jasonbay44]

What’s the story on sale? Any idea when he’s gonna go on a rehab start?

 

He’s starting his rehab assignment this weekend and aiming for July return

The no-hitter and 3-hitter by the Dean brothers in a DH is right up there, too.

[Jasonbay44]

That will probably go down as one of the best, if not the best duo ever.

Ruth & Gehrig

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Ruth & Gehrig

 

If we limit it to post WWII, it would be Manny and David.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Very good, MOON, coming up with another brothers' act.

[moonslav59]

For 3 seasons, these guys out hit Papi & Manny's best 3 year stretch:

 

1948

.369 25 126 Williams (1.112 OPS)

.269 29 137 Stephens (.821)

(Note: Doerr was .285 27 11 and .891 for the 2nd place Sox)

 

1949

.343 43 159 Williams (1.141)

.290 39 159 Stephens (.930)

(Doerr: .309 18 109 & .890)

 

1950

.317 28 97 Williams in 89 games 1.099

.295 30 144 Stephens

(Dropo: .322 34 144 & Doe .872rr .294 27 120)

Very good, MOON, coming up with another brothers' act.

 

At one time when Joe DiMaggio had the 56 game hit streak, his brother Dom had the second longest in the AL.

[moonslav59]

The Sox have 299 RBI on the season. Devers and Story account for 86 of them. Almost 30% in 21% of the PAs!

That would be the Alou brothers

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That would be the Alou brothers

 

Yup, with the Giants. Jesus, Matty and Felipe.

[Jasonbay44]

Really annoying they needed to use Houck in this game

[moonslav59]

Don't let Goldschmidt or Arenado get up.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If there were only 2 outs to get out of an inning, the SOX would have a great BP.

[Jasonbay44]

Please get this guy out. I don’t want to see Goldschmidt up

[Jasonbay44]

I don’t see anything on that replay to change this call

[Maxbialystock]

Really annoying they needed to use Houck in this game

 

Even more annoying that Houck, the born to close ace, gives up back to back doubles when he's supposed to be putting the fire out.

 

Old Red, take note.

 

Score is now 6-5, and Houck only had to get one measly out.

[Jasonbay44]

This is yet another pathetic performance by the bullpen.

[iortiz]

by Davis and Houck.

[Jasonbay44]

by Davis and Houck.

 

It just seems like the whole pen takes turns blowing games late.

[iortiz]

LOL this is getting ridiculous.
