7/29 Brewers @ SOX 7:10PM ET

[Tedballgame]

Notice how Vazquez hustled the last 30 feet home to avoid not scoring in case Dugo got thrown out at second. That was good thinking

 

That is something that is taught in Little League. Every MLB player should know to do it every time. Basic fundamental.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I was watching that. Not so good thinking that he didn't hustle the first 60 feet!

 

 

So dis the guy that's actually hitting the baseball.

JBJ catches that flyball.

[vegasbob]

Franchy still looks awkward at 1B, poor footwork and stumbling even when making a play.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

VAZ and Dugo continue to get the ire of posters here while higher priced spreads get a pass.

[redsoxrules]

JBJ catches that flyball.

 

I doubt that

[FredLynn]

2-1

Game over folks

And that’s not a bad thing

Funny how so many MLB players ignore the basic fundamentals. And I'm not just referring to the SOX.

[vegasbob]

Great K by Bra-man after giving up the key hit to Yelich. Cora's luck on picking the hot hand out of the pen is missing

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It still appears that the scientists at the Robotic Institute haven't adjusted JD's launch angle.

For sure. Many players have no concept of most of the basic fundamentals of baseball. That is why there are so many mental mistakes made along with sloppy play.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Who do you consider the classiest player to wear a SOX uniform?

I'm going with Ryan Dempster.

Maybe Varitek

Bobby Doerr was an exceptional person beyond the ballpark, and pretty fair on the field too.

[FredLynn]

Bradley Ks on two ball 4s

Why is he still on this team???

[redsoxrules]

Nice Bradly. Swung at ball 4 twice

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That should sell more JBJ jerseys. Maybe he should bring his glove to the plate instead of a bat.

[oldtimer]

To say this lineup is weak is an understatement.

[iortiz]

JBJ is unwatchable.

Incredibly stupid AB by a true nobody

[redsoxrules]

I keep saying he's better off keeping the bat on his shoulders. At least he would get a few walks here and there

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Yup, I met him during the YAZ HOF induction. One of the nicest guys one could ever meet. As a player he had the added responsibility of keeping Williams in line.

On and off the field.

Why didn’t Refsnider PH for him?

[vegasbob]

This is quite true. Cora should tie a string from the end of his bat to his balls and he'll quite swinging at trash pitches soon enough

[vegasbob]

Why didn’t Refsnider PH for him?

 

Because Cora hates Refsnyder. Not one of his butt boys

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Maybe Varitek

 

Hard to argue with that. Love to see him be a future SOX manager.

[Tedballgame]

Bill Buckner because he never complained about the s*** way he was treated by fans and the media and he even came back to Fenway. It was never his fault.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Cora should have PH'd for him, but your idea isn't a bad one.

[vegasbob]

Bill B came at the end of a string of mental and physical mistakes, and weak pitching that led to the loss. Grabbing that grounder was no assurance of an actual out at 1B.

[vegasbob]

Suddenly Bra-man is Rivera, except for Yelich, the only one that mattered
