7/30 Brewers vs Remnants of the Red Sox

[vegasbob]

The game is pretty much lost already due to Pivetta's HR gifts including an ironic 2 run job by Hunter Renfro ( his 19th ??) .

 

Still very winnable game if you score more than 4.

Kaleb Ort ( to be elsewhere) throwing up a 2 out 4 pitch walk before whiffing whoever Milwaukee had at bat.

This team doesn't deserve a game thread.

[vegasbob]

JDM continuing his epic slump. Even a soft line drive cannot find a hole. He could easily finish July in an Oh for 25+- position.

[vegasbob]

Next Tuesday at 6PM EDT, some players will be happy to find themselves still on the Red Sox active roster. On the other hand they may consider the fact that no other GM valued them sufficiently to want to acquire them. Or maybe that Chaim overvalued them. Could go either way.

[vegasbob]

Arroyo back with two hits, and Jaylin Davis with 2 hits . Other than that it is Dugo and Vaz once again the only ones with a hit in this lineup. All of this slumping happening in Fenway where the batters should be most comfortable.

[FredLynn]

Pretty active thread here. Like the Flops the posters have also given up. Entirely too much crap about the flops being “on the fence”. They’re in LAST F’ing place!

[redsoxrules]

Seems fitting that Renfroe would hit a 2 run jack while his replacement isn't good enough to play every day. He is good at catching fly balls though I guess

[vegasbob]

Sox on fire with JDM up with MoB, 2 runs in

 

Thanks , JDM, for the flyball and the memories. Picked up that run making it a game again, 5-4.

Dugo must have hit 100 "At'em" balls this year right into some stiff like Tellez's glove

[vegasbob]

I knew Diekman could not get through a 1-2-3 inning. I figured a walk, but Jake wanted to hit a guy in the foot, of course with no one out.

 

Once again, Cora's bullpen roulette comes up a zero

 

f*** you , Diekman . a HBP, walk, WP puts them at 2/3rd

It’s a pasarela of bums lol

 

Geez this BP is a bag of s***.

Finally his slow bat is in effect.

[vegasbob]

Brewers get a run vis Diekman and Brasier ( sac fly) without a hit. Just enough to make any comeback that much harder

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Don't understand why SOX BP runs to the mound. It's like running into a burning building.

[vegasbob]

Cora continues with strange workings of the much maligned bullpen. Using Brasier in 2 innings and following with Sawamura says that the game is over , not worth competing. This game was 5-4 after 7, then Diekman, and Brasier moved it to 7-4 with 1 on, 1 out

It's on e the 7 signs of a successful reliever. They don't know the other 6 .

[jad]

Bloom ball! We better get used to it.

[vegasbob]

Sawamura gets an out on his first pitch. Too bad it wasn't the third out because between a passed ball by Vaz and another Brewer HR off Saw-job, it is now 9-4. Might be a hair too much for a comeback

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Btw, both Bogey and JD got an RBI in the same game. How rare was that this season?

Diekman is atrocious.

If viewing a MLB record about to take place is important to you, then tomorrow's game is a must watch.

Start the thread, please. I am officially ineligible due to this loss, which was simply taking one for the team.

Yep. It has never been done in history.

[oldtimer]

I thought Duran getting picked off first set the tone for the night. He didn't dive back. He is not doing himself any favors regarding a return next season. Thing is, the Sox are remarkably short of outfield talent. Even Kike was not hitting before his injury.

Done twice, but not in a month with 31 days.

If JD's still here after the trade deadline, I will be very disappointed.

[vegasbob]

Another series loss. A losing season record at Fenway. Not one win by a starter in July with 1 to go. JDM , oh for-ever in second half . Story is a fairy tale of lost horizons. Sale, the sad clown

 

I know it is unrealistic but there should be more DFA's Tuesday than trades. No other GM would take some of these pillow stuffers

I'd be honored to start the GT on such an historic day.

That was an exceptionally weak effort to start the game , but with Duran, you have so many choices of immature, low skill plays.
