6/29 SOX @ Jays 7:07PM ET

[Maxbialystock]

What's the bet?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Cordero looking for all-star votes.

[Maxbialystock]

That was not a wild pitch. It was a passed ball by Vazquez.

[iortiz]

We need Eovaldi, Whitlock and Sale healthy and at 100% of their abilities badly.

 

Grab an elite reliever before the ASG and If the later happens, this team can compete against anyone.

[a700hitter]

What's the bet?

Name it.

[Tedballgame]

Don't say that. I've already x'd him out because of his defense.

 

Franchy's defense looked pretty good right there.

[Maxbialystock]

Cordero looking for all-star votes.

 

Maybe. I have read on talksox that he is the worst fielding first baseman in the last 150 years of American baseball. Ok, not that bad, but almost.

[a700hitter]

Name it.

But like a coward you are waiting to see what Vladimir does.

[Tedballgame]

Can Schreiber pitch 3 innings?

[Maxbialystock]

Franchy's defense looked pretty good right there.

 

I do agree Franchy is a little rough at 1b, but that's because he has very little experience. However, I have defended him, not because I think he's great, but because I honestly believe his fielding has not hurt, at least not egregiously. To me first base is a good place to put someone who can hit, but ain't the world's greatest fielder.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That honor goes to ex-SOX Dick Stuart. He was the worst.

[iortiz]

Can Schreiber give us another inning before the pen blows the game lol

[iortiz]

Devers is swinging at every first pitch. He needs to chill the f*** down.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Jay Dee's BA dropping at the same speed as an Acme anvil.

[Maxbialystock]

But like a coward you are waiting to see what Vladimir does.

 

No, not Vladimir. If you will go back to last night, you will realize that the bullpen threw three really good innings, and tonight, thanks to Pivetta going the extra (6th) inning, that's all they have to do.

 

Schreiber is way better than the carping critics on talksox give him credit for. He is fearless, and has good stuff, and he has good command. Houck and Whitlock don't even come close. So, no, Vladdy wasn't going to do anything and in fact looked pretty bad.

 

So now 7 innings gone, and six outs to go.

[iortiz]

Devers is swinging at every first pitch. He needs to chill the f*** down.

 

Slow-bat Martinez doing the same Geez!

[redsoxrules]

Devers is swinging at every first pitch. He needs to chill the f*** down.

 

That's who he is. Grip and rip. He swings at everything

[iortiz]

The problem with the pen has always been the 8th and specially the 9th. 18 blown saves already is not a fluky thing.

The SOX have blown more saves than Elton John.

[Maxbialystock]

Boy is this ever an uphill fight. Our three best hitters--by a big margin--have 1 very weak single and four K's in 12 freaking at bats.

 

But never fear. The boo birds will find some way to blame Cora if the Sox lose.

 

Brasier back out again tonight. In his last 8 innings (7 games), he has given up 1 run.

And your bluster about a bet combined with a juvenile slur was just an empty can making some noise.

[iortiz]

Brasier is on the mound lol

[Jasonbay44]

So who blows the game tonight? If Robles comes into this game I swear I’m going to rage

[iortiz]

the sox have blown more saves than elton john.

 

lol

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Btw, good job by Pivetta tonight.

[Maxbialystock]

But like a coward you are waiting to see what Vladimir does.

 

I probably am a coward--just ask my wife.

[Maxbialystock]

Btw, good job by Pivetta tonight.

 

You bet. Tons of heart.

[Tedballgame]

Crap bullpen about to blow it. Braiser in 2022 is not the Braiser of 2018.

Max, why do you feel so obligated to continue to defend Cora? Is it some kind of cult?

[a700hitter]

Brasier is on the mound lol

He should go back to moving furniture.
