Please tell me that we have better pieces in the farm at pitching.

[vegasbob]

On a night where the Sox BP could have been helped by 5 or 6 innings this pitcher has really screwed them up. How do you let him go back out, except to concede they have lost this one in the top of the first ?

Yeah

We have Bello

His high ceiling is a decent long RP

I know I was impressed by him in his first start

[jacksonianmarch]

Sox brass knew this kid was gonna get lit up. Yanks are right hand dominant, even more so with Rizzo out. So a right hand dominant team facing a righty needs to watch out for the breaking ball moving away. Seabold doesn’t have it right now and it’s not known to be a great pitch. Hence, right now he’s fastball change, which will work against lefties but will get smushed vs righties. Unless he finds his slider’s release point, he’ll be down 6 or 7 by the end of 3

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Seabold is one of worst starting pitchers I’ve ever seen. How does he keep getting chances? Sign someone off the streets and let them pitch over this bum

 

I think I'll give Boreass a call.

Exactly

Send him back out there, by all means

He’s a mid level minor league pitcher facing a major league lineup. The results are what is expected

[vegasbob]

Nice to see something positive by JDM, but hit a little too hard, lol

[jacksonianmarch]

Cortes is not sharp to statt

[vegasbob]

Bogaerts is the new Pops in case no one has noticed

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

deVAZtating!

[vegasbob]

Gotta respect Vazquez for showing some cojones on this inconsistent team

[Tedballgame]

Vaz cuts the lead in half

[Jasonbay44]

Seabold will probably give those runs back and more.

[Tedballgame]

Strike three. Ump missed it.

[Tedballgame]

Make up call.

[vegasbob]

I will take Bloom and Cora off my personal hook for the pitching. Get serious, who could have overcome Hill, Whitlock, Eovaldi, Wacha on the IL simultaneously? Pivetta is a #4 at best. They were a marginal rotation to begin with. Then Chris Frail takes MONTHS to get even close to ready ( FEB-JULY). Paxton was not expected to be ready . Josh Taylor misses half the season.

 

The real question is that with 60% of the WooSox lineup pitching for Boston, who is pitching for Worcester ?

 

Add Barnes continued implosion , Danish on the IL ( no big deal), and Robles turning into a sick dog, you try managing this bunch

Makeup call on Judge

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Of the two best players on the two best teams in the AL, one is a horse and the other is a jockey.

[Tedballgame]

Can we get Seabold out of the game please?

[FredLynn]

Can we get Seabold out of the game please?

 

Why?

[Jasonbay44]

This is pathetic

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I'm not gonna praise Seabold until he's left the game. It's bad luck.

[Tedballgame]

This ump is horrible.

[Tedballgame]

Time for RoBo umps.

[Jasonbay44]

I'm not gonna praise Seabold until he's left the game. It's bad luck.

 

Praise him for what? Only giving up 3 balls that inning with 100 MPH exit velocity and giving up another run?

[Old Red]

Story, and Judge called out on balls. This could be a long bad game.

The pitch to Judge before the makeup call was strike three so Judge got what he deserved. Story got screwed.

[vegasbob]

Dalbec walks on 4 pitches, with no swings. He is trainable !

In 2013 Napoli hit 23 HR's, 92 RBI, and had 187 K's. His BA was .259. Except for the BA Story should beat Napoli's other 3 stats. Edited July 9, 2022 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER
