9/05 SOX @ Rays 4:10PM ET

[vegasbob]

Story does figure it out but like having JDM on the bases, Raffy's sore hammie prevents scoring from first with 2 outs .

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

In Casas' 6 at bats so far, he may have seen 8 pitches.

Obviously he’s a bum 😉

[Maxbialystock]

After 3, Wacha with 43 pitches and 1 run. Patino with 62 pitches and 3 runs.

 

Thus it becomes the duty of the bottom of the Sox order to give Patino a break--again.

If a pitcher keeps the ball away from the inside half of the plate, he will own Kike.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If a pitcher throws the ball, he will own Cordero.

[Maxbialystock]

Thru 3 1/2 innings the last four Sox hitters are hitless in 8 AB's with 2 K's by Cordero, who's getting better because this time he fouled one off.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Because Ripken played everyday he was known as an 'iron man.' What term would be the complete opposite of 'iron man' when describing Arroyo?

I'm thinking 'balsa man.'

[Maxbialystock]

Rays helped by the Trop. Again.

I refer to it as the 'Maus.' Short for mausoleum.

[FredLynn]

Nice play by Wacha…and bad baserunning

[Maxbialystock]

Based on what?

[Maxbialystock]

Sox need to keep Wacha.

In MLB bad base running is as rare as the duck-billed platypus.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

balsa=light weight wood used a lot for model airplanes.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The only thing missing from Dugo's relaxed approach at the plate is a corn cob pipe.

To me he's a good infielder who is now hitting. I'd rather see him out there than Casas even though I understand why Casas is getting a look. It's September and the Sox are very unlikely get to the postseason.

I'm pretty sure Arroyo is day-to-day after fouling ball of his foot a couple days ago.

[Maxbialystock]

I like that move by the Rays, walking Devers. They could even walk Story to get to Casas--except that Story grounded out weakly.

[Maxbialystock]

Didn't Arroyo finish the game? The box score says he did.

True, but he was limping.

[Maxbialystock]

So the Sox got a twofer--rest Arroyo, give Casas some MLB burn.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

You know when the HP chUMP is doing a good job when he's hardly noticed behind the plate.

I want the Arroyo back next year, but the fact of the matter is he's just unlucky when it comes to staying healthy.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Leave it to Florida to have a Mickey Mouse Land and at the same time have a Goofy ballpark.

[FredLynn]

Good

Cordero is leaving the game. He is totally useless. He should leave the sport.

[vegasbob]

I was wondering why it was a better idea to put Cordero in left rather than leaving Pham. Now Franchy is probably out for the season with a major ankle injury. Dalbec gets new life, except he needs to be playing for Woosox, not sitting watching Casas

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Damn, Kike almost got run over by bearded drunken driver.

Dalbec was demoted
