August 23 vs. Blue Jays, 7:10

Stripling (righty) vs. Winckowski (righty)

[moonslav59]

The Wink Man needs to start showing he belongs in the bigs. He started out okay, but he needs to make some adjustments to the adjustments hitters made on him.

 

Does he have what it takes?

 

I hope so.

[Maxbialystock]

Game delay.

[JDavis76]

I'd love to see jbj come up big today......

[FredLynn]

More brain dead baseball on pitch number 3.

Unbelievable

[iortiz]

Cordero is a f nightmare at literally any defense position.

 

How these guys make the majors man?

[iortiz]

JD has become what I predicted if not worse. A mediocre hitter. Thanks for everything but he has to go.

 

His bat has slowed down quickly.

[Maxbialystock]

Am I imagining things, or is Winckowski actually pitching more quickly than last time? I'm a firm believer a pitcher, especially a starter, should not dawdle on the mound. Dawdling only convinces the hitter you're scared of him, usually because it's true. Edited August 24, 2022 by Maxbialystock

Triple by Chapman. A double if a Sox player had hit it because most Sox players, if not all, like to watch the trajectory of their batted balls before, you know, actually heading out for first base. Especially a well hit ball in to center field.

He's had some good years with the Sox--a good acquisition by DD because he made a huge difference with the 2018 lineup, his first year--everyone else improved on the year before and JDM's OPS was over 1.000.

Something a firm manager could have put a stop to.

[Maxbialystock]

Back to back clean hits, a double and a single by Arroyo and Kike and a run scored !!! Need more.

[Maxbialystock]

Cordero should have been told to keep trying to bunt. What a miserable at bat.

[mvp 78]

“JBJ throws to each base better than anyone else.”

 

No.

[mvp 78]

Damn, Pham…

[FredLynn]

Pham blows an easy catch. Hit him in a bad place, in the glove.

This is one awful team.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I'm thinking the SOX have had more injuries than wins this season.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Good D by Devers.

[d-money]

Toronto still making contact against wink.

[d-money]

I knew that was coming . 🤦*♂️

[FredLynn]

Gotta keep on losing here.

[iortiz]

May Day, May Day! The ship is sinking!

[d-money]

Wink with garbage.

[iortiz]

and here comes Davis. Game Over.

[FredLynn]

This team needs to be totally torn down from Bloom to Cora to 90% of the bums who play the game. It’s going to be at least three years before they are competitive again.

Hold your noses.

And boo the bums.

[Maxbialystock]

Good grief. Winckowski threw just 2 pitches, a slider and a fastball sinker. You can't do that against a good hitting team. No curve and no changeup. A lamb led to slaughter.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

A nod is better than a Winck.

It’s embarrassing that they likely will finish last with their payroll. I still feel like they have underachieved somewhat. They could have a better record.

[FredLynn]

5-1

Time to find a better use of my time

[iortiz]

What exactly does Davis do well to be in this team? please tell me what?
