Go SOX!

 

That was about as much of a "series win" as the play in game was a playoff game......

 

But I guess when you are a sub .500 team in the cellar you need to grasp at any straw....

What's the O/U o n Judge's HRs this weekend. I would set it at 3.5 to insure a winner. Nate has to be good for one, and surely our relievers are good for 2, so who delivers or denies the 4th HR. I'd say Matt Barnes has a shot.

 

In reality the Sox should sweep this series to mess with the standings.

Already LOSING the game.

Sox fans are relegated to hoping the Yankmees don’t win a ring.

Sorry

Just can’t watch these bums any more.

[vegasbob]

Familiar territory, down in the first inning but Nate's DP did avoid a big hole. Let's see if there is any response.

 

Pretty much no response. Dever's flyball wall double was good to see but his AB and swing choices are still troubled.

Is Reese McGuire injured ? Or has he decided not to hit vs RH'ers ? Or did Cora get confused and just thinks Kevin P. is the lucky choice of the night. Maybe Nate likes Plowboy's CERA.

[d-money]

Has this team showed any life against the yankees this season? It’s pathetic the way the sox have played them this season.

[d-money]

This is just pathetic stuff from Eovaldi.

The agents representing JD and EO will have to pull rabbits out of their ass to get significant money for either one during the off season.

One or two year deals, with a lot of performance incentives, low base pay ($5 million range)

[vegasbob]

Our infield dribblers are not as good as the Yankees dribblers. We hit too hard, or alternatively, we hardly hit.

[vegasbob]

Bottom 2, 2 hits and a walk but wrapped around a DP sandwich and a popper to end it. Red Sox 2022 version of a rally

I definitely think JD is about done. EO is gutting it out. If he can't get his back to cooperate on the FB, it probably hurts him every pitch. Maybe if he gets his back straightened out he will make some sort of comeback.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Didn't see that coming.

Well, well, sometimes this is just too easy. Thanks , Nate. High FB to a guy who is sort of tall

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Next thing you're gonna see is horses playing hockey.

The Yankems have a horse and the SOX have a lonely bull.

Long ABs by the NYY'ers. Nate just doesn't have a killer pitch to put them AWAY

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

How the SOX finished the regular season in the AL East from 2012-2021:

 

1st place 4 times

3rd place 2 times

Last place 4 times.

Well, EO's pitching is killing me.

So on average the Sox have been a 3rd place team

So on average the Sox have been a 3rd place team

 

For those ten years you would be correct. However, during those last 10 seesaw years the SOX have 2 championships and the Yankems have 0 championships. So there's that.

Dugo challenges Aaron's arm, and then begs JDM to plate him. It all works. JD's next contract looking better, lol

JD must speak German.

Nice shutdown inning.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Sadly, the SOX don't get to face Cole in this series.

[vegasbob]

Here comes the big inning. Nate at 95 pitches but only a run down. If he can keep it out of the bullpen in the 6th, there is still a shot.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

D-hern still on SOX active roster. Apparently, every pitcher in the SOX farm, who is available, is worse.

[vegasbob]

Fernando Tatis , the poster child for a 14 year contract. Injured the first half of the year due to a motorbike accident, out the rest of 2022 and early 2023 . What a FU

[vegasbob]

The Red Sox shifts don't seem to put the infielders in the path of the batted ball, as happens when the Sox are batting

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

This f'ing chUMP has squeezed EO since the 1st inning.
