June Twenty-Fourth Red Sox @ Guardians

[Maxbialystock]

This should be a fun series between two AL contenders who have been playing pretty good baseball this month; Boston and Cleveland have the third and fourth-best run differential in the league. Pivetta vs. Quantrill; Winckowski vs. Bieber; Hill vs. Civale. Prediction: one of these games expected to be a pitchers' duel will be a slugfest, while a pitcher with the worse stats will beat a guy with better numbers.

 

Even more fun after yesterday's break. I like your point about the unpredictability of this series because this has been an especially unpredictable season with, no doubt, many more surprises to come. Nice ballpark, too.

 

Cleveland's a good team with a good manager, but I am encouraged by the recent series vs. the Cardinals, also a Division leader, against whom the Sox took 2 of 3, with the two wins being close games and the loss a slaughter.

 

Sox still missing Whitlock, Eovaldi, Kike, Taylor, Sale, et al. Arroyo, a spare part, should be available tonight.

 

I am grateful for the discussion on Jose Ramirez, definitely (I now realize) a player to watch.

[Maxbialystock]

Will everyone who is talking to the piss baby please stop quoting him? Thank you.

 

You talkin' to me? Well, I'm the only one who's here.

[Maxbialystock]

Bogey gets his back to back days off anyway. Once again, five lefty bats against opposing righty Quantrill

Duran is becoming what I had been expecting. Love the kid. He will be our titular CF moving forward and in years to come. He's living the process, he is starting to collect all the effort he has put. Good for him. Natural leadoff hitter.

 

Wonder why people complain about his defense. it is great as well. What an athlete btw

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

DEVERS DEliVERS!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I would guess at this point in the season Devers would rank 3rd in AL MVP voting. Behind Ramirez and Judge. Devers is 5 years younger than either of them.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That was a fair ball. Inept a-HOLES.

[d-money]

This offense has to hit on this road trip. Look awful early here.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Cal is a much better pitcher than his ex-SOX father Paul.

[Swiharts Ghost]

JBJ is a terrible ball player who has had plenty of opportunity to turn his career around .Time To DFA JBJ it’s waaay past time .Reff is heads and toes better than this stiff enough already

[d-money]

They surely are making pivetta work.

[Swiharts Ghost]

Wasted opportunities by JBJ and Vaz .Id get rid of both .

[d-money]

Nice pitch pivetta. This offense has to wake up.

[Swiharts Ghost]

Finally playing a good team and we are making horrible decisions .Why is JBJ and Arroyo starting any games for this team at this point FFS

[Swiharts Ghost]

They surely are making pivetta work.

 

 

Vaz flipping suuuuuucks .Go get the kid for sale in a cubs uni

[d-money]

Wasted opportunities by JBJ and Vaz .Id get rid of both .

 

They surely didn’t bring JBJ back for his bat. He has been terrible before he got here.

[d-money]

Need the bats to wake up.

[Swiharts Ghost]

Holy s*** 187 Arroyo got a hit .Parade

[Swiharts Ghost]

Hit here knocks this hump out

[Swiharts Ghost]

Arroyo f***ing sucks

[Swiharts Ghost]

Arroyo is hooooooorible

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

And that's why the robotic JD has 28 RBI.

[Swiharts Ghost]

Guy can’t run can barely hit but he’s coras boy huh ?.

f*** you cora

[vegasbob]

Had Alan Porter not blocked the pitch in the dirt or if Arroyo had broken for second and continued , the game would not still be tied. And if JDM could buy a hit, everything would be nice

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Vaz flipping suuuuuucks .Go get the kid for sale in a cubs uni

 

You off your medication again?

[Swiharts Ghost]

And that's why the robotic JD has 28 RBI.

My wife said same thing his swing is like Barkley’s golf swing

[vegasbob]

Looks like a grinder of a game, with the Sox unable to get the key hit.

[Swiharts Ghost]

Arroyo and JBJ and Vaz need to go period .

[Swiharts Ghost]

Pivetta can go 8 tonight if not for long ball

[Swiharts Ghost]

JBJ the slowest outfielder we have
