7/01 SOX @ Cubs 2:20PM ET

I was laughing to myself when Hill started the 5th with a 4-0 lead that Cora might pull him with two outs to cost him the win. Certainly hope he is not injured .

He did take a hard roll on that grounder he fielded.

[d-money]

Hill's run out of gas. That run to first probably consumed half his tank.

 

It’s embarrassing to walk so many cub hitters. They stink.

[d-money]

This team is self imploding.

[d-money]

Wow lol. Just give walking these useless cub hitters. They will take that.

[vegasbob]

You knew that Danish would come in throwing s***** curve balls, and starting with a walk. This is the primary complaint about relievers who can't throw strikes

[d-money]

The hapless cubs with a chance to take the lead here.

[vegasbob]

After this hot mess ends the Sox hitters need to wake up again

[d-money]

Better get that offense cranking. Always playing down to their opponents.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Makes sense Cora would relieve 42 year old Hill with a Prune Danish.

[vegasbob]

Franchy shows great discipline and eye until it matters, then just swing at any old crap

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It's a shame the SOX have to depend on the bottom of the order because the 3 & 4 batters haven't produced Jack Shite.

Baby steps, Vegas. He'll get there.

You might say the #3/#4 hitters are taking Jack off, the hook

[Maxbialystock]

Coming into this game the Sox were tied for the 10th fewest BB's.

Cubs pitchers have given up the 9th most BB's.

Refsnyder shows the patience of a veteran hitter to work that walk and runs Hughes pitch count up to 17

[Maxbialystock]

Vazquez once again demonstrates his inability to adapt his baserunning aptitude (or lack thereof) to the situation on the field.

[vegasbob]

Vaz for all his running by mid game has heavy thighs. Does he realize that the next hitter who would have been up with the bases loaded was a young guy named Devers ? Or maybe Feckless Febles sent him because of his "early" speed.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

VAZ's speed is so elusive that even his 3rd base coach doesn't know whether VAZ is fast or is he slow. Edited July 1, 2022 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

Whichever of the two chose or waved to go that was a real mistake to get the third out in front of Devers

My error for not mentioning the 3b coach.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Robles would dominate in a baseball league that had two out innings.

[vegasbob]

Robles looks so good until he faces the #9 hitter , BA of .192 , who works him over for a walk. Like Danish the performance is just so inconsistent. He had 2 outs on 5 pitches

[Old Red]

Robles would dominate in a baseball league that had two out innings.

 

Why is Robles still on this team? That’s on Bloom, and Cora.

[vegasbob]

Well, the good news is that we might get to see if Tanner Houck survived his time off , assuming they can now get out of the 6th

[vegasbob]

I suspect Robles is somewhat intellectually deficient as well as a horsecrap thrower. You really cannot leave him in now

[vegasbob]

Cora hanging like a monkey on the dugout rail. he will regret leaving buttwipe out there on the hill

[iortiz]

Cora wants to lose this one badly

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Cora seems to be alright with Robles out there. Gotta love Cora or you don't.
