7/23 Jays @ Fenway, game time 4:10

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

One thing in the SOX favor is the Jays should be tired from all their base running last night.

[Tedballgame]

At least Crawford looks competitive today as opposed to Eovaldi last night.

Why is that attempted pitch by Manoah not a ball. His arm came through its full motion. The fact that his heel got caught is not our problem

Exactly. He threw the ball, no?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Bobby Dee hammers a hanger. Bout time.

[vegasbob]

Congrats to Bobby Dalbec on getting a ball up and out of the park.

He's actually hit more HR's than Bogey with over 100 less at bats.

The onslaught begins.

[vegasbob]

Crawford looks good for two, then goes awry. Yolmer needs to be a bit more alert

[jad]

Now there's a prime example of Bloomian thinking!

[Tedballgame]

Jays do something the Sox can't do....hit fly balls with guys on third and less than 2 outs.

[Tedballgame]

This game is over.

More than Cordero too. Cordero should ,among others, have no future here

Over half of the roster should have no future here.

[vegasbob]

Kutter, thanks for focusing on the guy at bat with 2 strikes to shutdown the inning. Springer stealing or not wasn't going to change your life

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

This could be one of the worst lineups the Red Sox have ever put on the field.

 

 

You know the line-up's weak when the opposing manager tells his pitcher "don't let Bogey beat ya."

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Now there's a prime example of Bloomian thinking!

 

Nope, it's an example of an unproductive SS looking to make 25-30mil/yr.

[Oscars]

And to add to the frustration of faux genius Cora's managing is that not only is Ref a better hitter than Duran, he's better defensively.

 

Ref should be starting in RF or CF every game with this current roster

[vegasbob]

I assume the Red Sox had no interest in George Springer when he was leaving Houston

I am a big bogey fan, but this season his production stinks . He has 1 HR and 7 RBIs in his last 30 games batting clean up.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The SOX should have sprung at Springer.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The SOX should have sprung at Springer.

 

But they already had the irreplaceable JBJ.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

As I've posted before, I still think Kutter has the best stuff of any SOX starter.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Ref should be starting in RF or CF every game with this current roster

 

I guess he's not a Cora favorite like JBJ. Bloom should do Ref a favor by trading him.

[vegasbob]

Yolmer Sanchez is another of those undersized Sox prospects who cannot hit a baseball but they got the gold chains flashing in multi-levels

 

Oh, and he's the Z in his name

[Maxbialystock]

Wow. I think that's the 2d time in a week an opposing baserunner scored from first base on a freaking single. This time it was to JBJ.

Yolmer isn't a prospect; he played 6 years with the White Sox before coming to Boston.

[vegasbob]

I thought as long as we hid them in Worcester, they were still a prospect. Ok, I'll call him a player from now on. I assume he's another Bloomian find.

 

He did take strike 3 on a straight fastball down the middle to generate his LOB. To be real honest I don't care who he is or where he has been. I'm only concerned with how long before he is gone

[Northern Star]

So Duran is rewarded for his lack of hustle last night by starting today and Ref is rewarded for his HR last night by being benched today. Way to manage, Cora.

 

"Maybe a series of fines for good play..."

[vegasbob]

So effectively the trade that marked the loss of Betts ( and Price) has resulted in Verdugo who is a regular for us. Wong and Downs have not matured into serious players yet
