June Twenty-Seventh Red Sox @ Blue Jays

[d-money]

This is pathetic tonight. They gonna get more of the same tomorrow.

[d-money]

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

 

Might have to get aggressive.

[d-money]

A lot of goose eggs.

Although I would love to see the SOX not lose any more games the rest of the season, I seriously doubt that will happen. Just be happy knowing that they will be in the PO's where anything can happen. Edited June 28, 2022 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

They gonna get competition for that but this team had to start showing you they can hit good pitching

Losing 6 out the first 8 stinks! Win the next two.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Knowing the large number of crap teams there are in MLB, we're fortunate that the SOX aren't one of them.

Or not

I guess Cora figures this game is over so Seabold may as well eat some innings.

They just beat Bieber; he's pretty good.

[d-money]

Take seabold out of the game.

[d-money]

He’s ok but these division games are important in the grand scheme of things. Jays have had their number this year thus far.

[d-money]

Well the streak will be over tonight. Gotta bounce back tomorrow.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Yankems losing to A's in the Bronx.

[Tedballgame]

Back to AAA for Seabold. And probably to a therapist after this beating.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I hope Mr Seabold didn't unpack.

I have always believed that the best time for Sox starter to have a bad night is when the Sox bats are silent. Now that the Jays have a commanding lead, the Sox might score, but the fact is Gausman has dominated them.

[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.

 

He eventually did turn terrible, so forget I posted the above.

For the 3rd time this season. Anyway come back tomorrow hungrier. They will face more good pitching. Gonna find a way and hit them!

Why did Seabold make a start?

[Maxbialystock]

I hope Mr Seabold didn't unpack.

 

That was the idea.

 

SoxProspects says he has good command of his pitches, but tonight he did not. Most of those solid hits were off pitches near the center of the zone. That last dinger was high in the zone, but the 2d straight pitch in that location, plus it was no 90 mph, not the 93 mph earlier in the game.

How come when Pivetta or Wacha dominate a team with their pitching, we never post how bad the opposing offense is? That's a question for the ages.

[Maxbialystock]

Had to be someone brought up and his Worcester stats were good. He simply lost command of his pitches.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

He might have been nervous. Coming up from the farm and pitching for the SOX is a whole lot different than pitching for Kansas City, for example.

Is that question connected in any way to the post you cite?

Probably. On the other hand, his first two innings were pretty darn good.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Thank goodness that MLB allows teams to make trades. Can you imagine what the SOX would look like if they could only use pitchers from their farm? Edited June 28, 2022 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

[Maxbialystock]

That splitter is a workhorse for Gausman tonight, and it's the pitch Devers hit for a double.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Is that question connected in any way to the post you cite?

 

No, just the fact that sometimes one has to tip one's cap to the opposing pitcher.

[Maxbialystock]

91 pitches and 3d time through the Sox order. Edited June 28, 2022 by Maxbialystock
