Go SOX!

Franco, and Kiermaier out, so Rays not as good with 4 batters under the Mendoza line.

[Tedballgame]

Sox need to win this series with Rays missing Franco and Kiermaier

Bello should be more settled down tonight.

Duran

VAZ

JD

Bogey

Dugo

Story

Cordero

Ref

Dalbec

[Maxbialystock]

Wisler is a reliever. Kluber should take over in the 2d or 3d inning.

[Old Red]

Quite a difference in the atmosphere tonight after playing the Yankees, and I’m sure what it will be this WE at the Stadium.

[Old Red]

I just hate the concept of openers. Give me a closer any day.

[d-money]

Bello has to show you more than this. The guy has been batting practice.

[Old Red]

Dugy got a hit he shouldn’t have, and Story land got robbed on a GREAT play. That’s baseball folks.

[Jasonbay44]

Bello needs to stop walking (and hitting) guys. All 3 runs scored were guys who got on via walk or HBP

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Seeing as how the last successful starting pitcher who was drafted by the SOX was Buchholz, is it the bad job being done by SOX scouts or is it the bad job being done by the farm system? I guess it could certainly be both.

[iortiz]

Our farm at pitching is putrid. Whata s***** show.

He is not ready. Back to the bushes, kid.

[bmattioli]

Not impressed so far..

[Jasonbay44]

Big hit by JD

[Old Red]

Big hit by JD

 

Hopefully he starting to come around with driving in some runs.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

So far this ump is calling the pitches just like a robo-ump would.

He’s been really good so far

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It would be interesting to know what percentage of AB's does Story have with runners on base? I'm guessing the % is really high.

[FredLynn]

Bello should be more settled down tonight.

 

Bello just isn’t ready for prime time and from the looks of it he won’t be for a long time, if ever

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The only hot Bello I've ever seen was the actress Maria Bello. She was really scorching in the movie A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

A shut-down inning!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

One thing is certain, Ref is a better hitter than Joey Gallo and much less expensive. Suck on that Yankems.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I could have posted a few years ago that the SOX would never replace Pedey defensively at 2nd base, but I would have been wrong.

[Jasonbay44]

I’ve never watched a game there, but I’ve been to the Trop and it is one of the shittiest venues I’ve ever seen.

It's easy to find out. Go to baseball reference and see he has 337 PAs, this year.

 

Then, click splits 2022 and schroll to men on base: 168 PAs w men On.

 

168/337= 49.9% (64 of those 168 were with 2 or more men On)

 

RISP: 97

97/337= 28.8%

 

[Jasonbay44]

JD is a doubles machine

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

JD is definitely employing his lower body with his swings lately compared to his recent past.

Thanks, MOON.
