June Twenty-Seventh Red Sox @ Blue Jays

[d-money]

I hope they can take one of the next two.

 

Can they beat the jays? Right now they have take 5 out of the first 7 matchups. Sick of losing to these guys. These divisional games are important.

[Maxbialystock]

Usually I would blame Vazquez's pitch-calling, but not tonight. When Seabold throws what is called for, it works.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Damn, if Seabold had done well tonight, I had planned to refer to him as Sonny. Anyone as old as me would know of which Sonny I'm referring to.

[d-money]

If the offense could do something and cut this lead in half but they don’t look so good.

[d-money]

Still very early if the offense can somehow just score some runs.

[Maxbialystock]

Terrible f***ing pitching.

 

Mostly missing his spots. When he throws what's called for, it works. When he throws sliders near the middle of the zone, he gets hammered for 2 dingers and 3 runs.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I believe that was 22 years ago.

 

Just checked; Buchholz was drafted by the SOX in 2005, so it was only 17 years ago.

Jurgenson or Fitzsimmons.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

When a good pitcher has all his stuff working, he has the advantage. That's been true since the game was invented.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Jurgenson or Fitzsimmons.

 

I love Jurgenson, but I was going with Sonny Siebert. He pitched for the SOX from 69-72.

[Maxbialystock]

Gausman is enjoying himself entirely too much. Devers, JDM, and Bogey are putty in his hands. Also Story, but he would be anyway.

 

Dugo get Sox 2d hit. Just like Dalbec's, it's with 2 outs.

 

Up comes Story with a man on. And K's again, but this time on 6 pitches--so, progress.

[Oscars]

This is the 3rd time this season Gausman has owned the Sox hitters .

It will be interesting to see over the next few weeks if the Sox hitters can handle the better pitching they will be coming up against , as they have been feasting on the lesser lights for a few weeks .

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I'm guessing Story leads the SOX in hitting into fewest DP's.

[Maxbialystock]

I love Jurgenson, but I was going with Sonny Siebert. He pitched for the SOX from 69-72.

 

I thought Fitzsimmons because he was a very successful trainer and I figured there was a great thoroughbred named Seabold.

 

Meanwhile, the Sox hitting stinks and the Jays' doesn't.

[d-money]

The offense blows tonight. They gonna get good pitching in this series and they gonna have to find a way and hit good pitching.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I thought Fitzsimmons because he was a very successful trainer and I figured there was a great thoroughbred named Seabold.

 

Meanwhile, the Sox hitting stinks and the Jays' doesn't.

 

It's all about the pitching.

[d-money]

It's all about the pitching.

 

Well true but can this lineup beat good pitchers?

[Maxbialystock]

No reason not to keep Seabold in there to eat some innings. Too bad no one in the bullpen can hit.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I thought Fitzsimmons because he was a very successful trainer and I figured there was a great thoroughbred named Seabold.

 

Meanwhile, the Sox hitting stinks and the Jays' doesn't.

 

Never heard of a race horse named Seabold, but I'm very familiar with Seabiscuit.

[Maxbialystock]

Well true but can this lineup beat good pitchers?

 

I think not. Of course, the giant caveat, even against a good pitcher, is that it ain't good pitching if he's getting hit. Tonight Gausman seems to be in complete command.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Well true but can this lineup beat good pitchers?

 

Well, if good pitchers got beat a lot, they wouldn't be good pitchers. Fortunately, if one likes to see hitting, there ain't a hell of a lot of good starting pitchers in MLB.

[Maxbialystock]

Never heard of a race horse named Seabold, but I'm very familiar with Seabiscuit.

 

You must be kidding. Nobody in his/her right mind would ever call a thoroughbred Seabiscuit. War Admiral, maybe. That has a good ring to it.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Seabold has been hittable, but for his 1st start against a pretty good hitting team he hasn't been terrible. Shouldn't give up on him too soon.

[d-money]

Can this offense do something and make this game interesting at least? So early in the game they have done nothing.

[d-money]

Well, if good pitchers got beat a lot, they wouldn't be good pitchers. Fortunately, if one likes to see hitting, there ain't a hell of a lot of good starting pitchers in MLB.

 

Eventually you gotta make some good contact.

[Maxbialystock]

I don't know how many first pitch strikes Gausman has thrown, but I think it's a lot.

[Oscars]

You must be kidding. Nobody in his/her right mind would ever call a thoroughbred Seabiscuit. War Admiral, maybe. That has a good ring to it.

 

 

More concerning is that the Sox have seen Gausman 3 times this season and still can’t touch him.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

You must be kidding. Nobody in his/her right mind would ever call a thoroughbred Seabiscuit. War Admiral, maybe. That has a good ring to it.

 

Seabiscuit was a hero during the great depression. But now we have a HR hitting horse named Judge.

[Oscars]

JBJ slipping back into one of his hitting funks again, as he is 1 for his last 23 ABs

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Eventually you gotta make some good contact.

 

Not necessarily.
