July 5th Tampa Bay Rays at Boston Red Sox

[Tedballgame]

This offense will be their undoing. They’re not just not good scoring runs.

 

Red Sox are seventh in the major leagues in runs scored.

[d-money]

Throw a damn strike dude!!!!!

[d-money]

Red Sox are seventh in the major leagues in runs scored.

 

Well doesn’t feel like it. Too inconsistent .

[Old Red]

The BP has been worked hard of late, and no rest tonight either.

[Oscars]

Is it my imagination or are the Red Sox utterly useless at scoring with a runner on third and less that 2 outs ?!

[d-money]

This is pathetic. Let me walk the hitter and get another runner in scoring position.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Pivetta gets a pass; he's been solid most of the season. Added pressure on Pivetta tonight because there's a rookie pitching tomorrow, so that probably didn't make his job much easier.

[Maxbialystock]

Three terrible, terrible at bats by Bogey, Vazquez, and Story--with men on 2d and 3d and no one out.

 

Plus the Rays score a man from 2d base on a grounder to SS because Bogey wasn't alert and neither was Dalbec.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Is it my imagination or are the Red Sox utterly useless at scoring with a runner on third and less that 2 outs ?!

 

Well, the pattern this season has been not scoring with runners on 2nd and no outs.

[d-money]

Nice job making the rays look like a great hitting team tonight.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Tonight just proves how good Kutter was last night.

The rays are not a great hitting team. They’re not.

[Old Red]

Pivetta gets a pass; he's been solid most of the season. Added pressure on Pivetta tonight because there's a rookie pitching tomorrow, so that probably didn't make his job much easier.

 

Pivetta is only worried about what’s going on tonight, and I don’t think any thought about who’s going tomorrow.

[d-money]

Now this team tomorrow could lose another series to an AL East unless they get a miraculous performance from a rookie pitcher. This homestand will only expose this red sox team more

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Btw, is Kike still amongst the living? Haven't heard any updates on him ever returning.

[redsoxrules]

Tampa's offense blows big time and yet scored 7 runs so far tonight.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The rays are not a great hitting team. They’re not.

 

Coming into this SOX series the Rays had scored 24 runs in 3 games against the Jays. When's the last time the SOX have scored 24 runs in 3 games. It's been a while.

[Old Red]

A Hansel sighting warming up.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Pivetta is only worried about what’s going on tonight, and I don’t think any thought about who’s going tomorrow.

 

Probably true, but then I'm not a mind reader, so I don't really know what his thoughts are. I was just speculating.

I don’t think you need any miraculous performance tomorrow night to beat this team.

[Old Red]

I think Pivetta is highly strung every time he takes the mound.

The Red Sox scored 33 runs in a three-game road series May 24-26 against the Chicago White Sox (and still lost one game).

IOW's the SOX are not a great hitting team either, and the most disturbing part of that is the SOX offense has been pretty healthy this season, so there's really no excuse.

[Old Red]

Hansel to the rescue!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I think Pivetta is highly strung every time he takes the mound.

 

Which is a good thing; the complete opposite of ex-SOX E-rod.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

So it has been a while. Thanks for the info.

The Rays are 26th in mlb runs scored. Their offense is s***. Toronto's pitching blows

[redsoxrules]

Robles in the game. Cora waiting the white flag

[Jasonbay44]

I can’t believe Robles is sucking again!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I don’t think you need any miraculous performance tomorrow night to beat this team.

 

The SOX will probably need more than 4 runs I'm thinking. And that is certainly not a given.
