Whitlock is very good

 

Very. Name him closer and stop nonsenses.

[jung]

Whitlock is very good

 

Probably the best pitcher on the staff right now starter or reliever.

[vegasbob]

You know Matt Barnes will earn his keep? Based on what?

 

As many know on this website, Matt Barnes is my all-time Red Sox favorite surpassing Williams, Yaz, Rice, Evans, and Ortiz . Matt's combination of skill, guts and high character plus strong arm capable of throwing 30-35 pitches in a single inning make him my MAN. Love the guy.

Houck has been fine as closer.

[Jasonbay44]

Plawecki is due up this inning. Can’t wait for another strike 3 looking of a weak grounder to short

unless you know him in person, that was bold my friend.

[vegasbob]

Score here and win, don't score and there will be runners on second in your dreams

[iortiz]

Id go

 

Houck H

Whitlock C

[Jasonbay44]

Id go

 

Houck H

Whitlock C

I would use those two and Schrieber in whatever role is needed for each game. Sometimes we need Whitlock to go multiple innings, like today, or come in a little early, like the 5th or 6th. I like the way they’ve been used since Whitlock came back healthy. It just sucks we only have 3 guys we can trust.

Senor Ortiz,, I think your signature tag line should be applied to Matt Barnes. I don't know him personally and have been a huge critic of his poor pitching , except first half 2021,. I cannot stand his mental weakness and inability to throw a freakin strike.

He shut me up, nice weak grounder to 2nd!

[jung]

Those uni's all look drenched. Wonder how much temp has come off the thermometer since the sun went down.

And tomorrow is a bright sun afternoon game, Better end the extra innings soon.

[iortiz]

LOL! he is a definition of what black hole is.

[vegasbob]

Well, you won't have to sweat extra innings.

[jung]

Told you guys it would be last ups wins it. Too much jump on the baseball tonight.

[redsoxrules]

Can't even beat s*** teams anymore

[iortiz]

geez that hurt.

[vegasbob]

The Sox opened this 16 game stretch needing to go 11-5 , now 1-2 . Can't hit or pitch with 2 outs.

[Jasonbay44]

This team is frustratingly bad

[FredLynn]

geez that hurt.

 

Not imo

It’s best if we lose as many games as possible for the rest of the season. Better draft position.

This team is soooo easy to hate.

[jung]

I can't believe they are going to play in the afternoon sun tomorrow. I bet a lot of the players from tonight sit. Neither catcher will play. Perez can barely walk.

[TylerD]

This team is frustratingly bad

 

We’re toast

[iortiz]

Simply unbelievable.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Didn't see that coming, but shouldn't be surprised. SOX have made a season of this s***.

Btw, why wasn't Hosmer pinch hitting in the top of the 9th? Was Hosmer actually being platooned with Dalbec or was this a Cora scheduled day of rest?

[vegasbob]

This team is frustratingly bad

 

It's a .500 team , playing .500 ball. Win one , lose one, pay out the $230 million.

There's really no player on this team I hate, but there is a manager I'm disliking more and more.

[moonslav59]

Snakebite season.

No Plawecki; that really sux.
