Lead-off double=kiss of death.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

One major thing an average pitcher(Pivetta) doesn't need is a s***** chUMP calling strikes balls.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

A depressing looking ballpark(The Maus) + A depressing looking team(SOX)=Clinical Depression.

[Oscars]

A familiar line so far, 0 for 6 with RISP

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Maybe the worst 5 innings of pitching by a starter where he only gave up 1 run that I've ever seen.

It was gutsy, though.

I'm sure Bill Lee had many outings competing with that! (I believe he was vocally promoting the chance of a 20-hit shutout.)

Interesting that the SOX manager would have two of his better hitters sitting out tonight with no game tomorrow. Lucky for Cal Ripken that he never played for Cora. Edited September 8, 2022 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

Emmanuel Valdez who the Sox got from the Astros in the Vaz trade is having a heck of a year. Between AA and AAA he has 32 doubles, 28 HRs, 104 RBI and a .304 BA. Only 23. Strikes out a little too much but plays multiple postions. A Bloom guy if I ever saw one.

Playing for Cora, Ripken would have had multiple 9 game streaks.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Giving credit where credits due. The SOX this season were very successful beating teams that had a worse record than themselves. It was mainly the remaining teams that were a problem.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

True. With or w/o multiple hits.

[Tedballgame]

TB doesnt deserve baseball. Under 5000 people there. Pathetic.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Good deception by Wong.

And half of them are dead and waiting to be entombed in that mausoleum.

When the season's over and if Bloom offers JD an all-paid first-class flight to any country in the world, could that be considered a QO? Edited September 8, 2022 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I seriously can't stand Cora.

[Tedballgame]

Why do Sox bother showing up at TB?

[Jasonbay44]

Why would you ever use Abraham Almonte as a pinch hitter? Dude is literally definition of bum

[moonslav59]

Lots of highlights, tonight.

 

At least we are helping the Rays chances of catching the Yanks.

[Oscars]

The 90 million dollar rays absolutely own the 208 million dollar Red Sox in 2022

Any criticism of your cult leader Cora tonight?

Except for Devers and Bogey there wasn't anyone else available.

[moonslav59]

Nope. I think you guys more than make up for any praise or non-bashing.

 

He sure blew all his pen moves, tonight.

You're good with numbers, MOON; I'll give you that.

[Oscars]

A good pitching line for the Sox, as for the hitting, 0 for 10 with RISP says it all.

The season's glaring weakness. When we do get hits w RISP, we often don't score.

[Tedballgame]

There is really not much else to say about this Sox team other than they stink.

[FredLynn]

Another day another loss…
