July Fourteenth Red Sox @ Rays

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

What do you think now?

 

I think a shite ball club is leaving a shite ballpark located in a shite state.

[redsoxrules]

Like I said the other day, they will be under 500 by August 3rd. They can't beat any contending teams

[Oscars]

J.D. and Bogie both blown away on fastballs.

 

Cruising along then give up a 5 spot.

They just flat out stink right now

[FredLynn]

With the orioles playing so well we could easily be a last place team by the end of the year

Guess the Rays should bench Diaz, right?

[iortiz]

A new way to lose.

[Tedballgame]

I predict that the Sox will go quietly with their tails between their legs. They don't have much fight in them. This will make it easier for Hang em Chaim to trade guys at the deadline.

I turned the game off. What did he do?

Are the Rays playing brain dead baseball overall like the Red Sox are?

[Tedballgame]

Got a break there. Should have been caught.

Got thrown out at home on a Choi double. Just applying the standards from last night.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The only thing I found shocking tonight was being informed by the Tampa announcers that both JD and Bogey made the all-star team. I haven't been paying much attention to which players have been selected, but I did find that shocking.

Probably right. Rays are in the Sox heads at this point.

Bogaerts was voted to the team by the players. JD replaced Houston’s Yordan Alvarez who went down with a hand injury.

Nah, they did this plenty of times in April, and, to quote Yogi Berra, it’s deja vous all over again

The standards from last night include not just one play or one player. When there are several players without their heads in the game then it’s best to make an example of one of them, embarrass him, and hope that the other brain dead players notice. Happens in other sports a lot.

But, its not over until its over.

[Tedballgame]

Dugo just missed a homer there.

i hope I am wrong.

[illinoisredsox]

You know if a Rays player had hit that it would have been one foot higher and a homer.

[Tedballgame]

It would have hit the top of the wall and went over.

[Tedballgame]

Vaz didn't even move the runner. Terrible AB.

[Tedballgame]

Crucial time of the game and Plawecki is hitting. No depth.

[illinoisredsox]

Vaz didn't even move the runner. Terrible AB.

 

He was trying to, got jammed. Would have been better to just turn on it

[illinoisredsox]

Not a matter of depth. You only have 4 bench players, and Story can’t play, so 3. Refsnyder’s in the game, Vazquez already pinch hit and Dalbec is up for Bradley.

[Tedballgame]

Please send Dalbec to AAA.

[redsoxrules]

Please send Dalbec to AAA.

 

And DFA Bradley

[illinoisredsox]

Please send Dalbec to AAA.

 

I’ve defended him long enough, he is totally lost. He may make it in another organization, but he’s not going to make it in Boston, and whatever he may do elsewhere doesn’t matter.

[Tedballgame]

Totally embarassing sweep by a low budget team.

[moonslav59]

This is sick.

 

I'm speechless.

[illinoisredsox]

And DFA Bradley

 

Bradley’s not doing anything other than what’s expected. Dalbec was counted on to supply offense and has utterly failed at that.
