July Third Red Sox at Cubs

[Maxbialystock]

Lately the Sox seem to have perfected the swing plane that leads to long outs. They lead MLB in doubles, which is great, but . . .

Swinging bunt practice before today's game is paying off. Edited July 3, 2022 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

Good job by Seabold getting out of that jam.

 

yep

[Jasonbay44]

This is getting frustrating. The amount of line outs and double plays is insane this series

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I guess Bogey didn't participate in the swinging bunt excercises.

Yep.

[Oscars]

Bogey let’s one go down the middle and then a GIDP .

Another lame AB from him

If he keeps continuing to be unproductive, the SOX may be able to afford him.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Bogey has 1 RBI in over two weeks. If one was a farmer and had a chicken only laying one egg in 2 weeks, the farmer would probably have that chicken for dinner. Edited July 3, 2022 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

Red Sox abusing the shift today

[Jasonbay44]

5 infield hits. What the hell is going on

[vegasbob]

Vaz preserves the DP chance here

5 infield hits. What the hell is going on

 

Cubs used infield hits yesterday to develop runs. Not the mighty Red Sox

[Jasonbay44]

What it took to get one run for the Sox is concerning

[Jasonbay44]

How the hell is that an infield single for Cordero?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Good question.

[vegasbob]

Did Speedy Vazquez gets lectured after his running this weekend. He is going slow and careful now.

Well to be fair, he’s always slow

[Maxbialystock]

That Thompson curve has a pretty good break to it.

He’s pitched very well, he’s just had extremely bad luck

Same with Winckowski yesterday. There’s a word for it - baseball.

Fantastic AB by Duran

[Old Red]

This is like watching a Little League game.

[Maxbialystock]

Duran is a hard case. Just nasty at the plate.

[Jasonbay44]

Chance for Raffy to blow this open

[vegasbob]

Duran showing some great discipline to get a run. A bases loaded walk and a missed popup. Hell of an offense

[Old Red]

Bogey has 1 RBI in over two weeks. If one was a farmer and had a chicken only laying one egg in 2 weeks, the farmer would probably have that chicken for dinner.

 

Raffy has been struggling too.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Cubs' pitcher tried to walk Devers, but Raffy wasn't having any of that.

[Jasonbay44]

Sox scored 2 runs but it still felt like an awful inning with missed opportunities

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

This is like watching a Little League game.

 

C'mon, don't be picking on the Little League.
