9/24 SOX @ Yankems

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Broke the rules but who cares.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Herman Munster made short work of the SOX in the 1st.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Pivettaboutit!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Casas owns the Yankems and McGuire continues to impress.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

You don't gain or lose much with Dalbec replacing JD as DB.

[bkzwhitestrican]

McGuire continues to only hit HRs against the Yankees. Time for IKF to do the same.

[Jasonbay44]

Jerk off man and Casas seem to like playing the Yankees

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I thought he was safe because of bad tag by Bogey. Thanks reviewer.

Casa has 3 of his 4 HR's against the Yankems.

They wanted to make sure Judge doesn't come up until the 3rd inning so that viewers keep watching.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Interesting call on that attempted steal. Rizzo was safe until the check swing was deemed a strike, then Rizzo was called out.

[Jasonbay44]

Pivetta vs Yankees is a s*** show

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Pivettaboutit! Nick reminds me of the worst years of Porcello, except Porcello was a better hitter.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

SOX have many holes to fill; maybe more holes than the Albert Hall.

This is looking like a potential repeat of the last two games, back and forth lead changes until someone in the Sox bullpen coughs up the final run.

They will suck next year too, and maybe 2024 as well. But hey-maybe Henry will sell the team by 2025 and they could possibly be watchable again!

For the SOX it's called a CAT PEN, because of all the hairballs they cough up.

Game 1

3 ER in 6 IP Wacha

1 ER in 3+ IP Pen

1-12 RISP

Pen blamed for loss.

 

Game 2

4 ER in 5 IP Hill

1 ER in 3 IP pen

1-5 RISP

Pen blamed for loss.

 

This has been going on all year. Sure, the pen did not help us win, but these are team losses, and many times, the pen was not the most responsible- only the most memorable, to many.

 

I didn't even mention the defense and base-running blunders- all year.

 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Still a pleasure to watch Stanton strike out.

That makes sense statistically. I guess it's just instinctual to blame pitching because it's easy to associate their runs being given up as the difference in the game.

Dalbec stares at strike 3s down the middle like it’s his job

I get why the pen runs are more memorable, but Hill and Wacha let up more and more per IP.

[moonslav59]

Will Casas be our next Yankee killer?

[jad]

Dalbec stares at strike 3s down the middle like it’s his job

 

Time to let another organization waste time wondering whether he will ever be able to hit ML pitching.

[oldtimer]

Let's hope Dalbec will not be on our 40 man next year. He is a AAA wonder only.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The only guy in the SOX BP one can rely on is the BP catcher.

[d-money]

This team waved the white flag a long time ago. They’re looking for basically a high draft pick at this point but this season has been embarrassing to say the least.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It appears the 'handle with care' guy Arroyo must be injured again.

[notin]

It’s because the pen failed to hold the lead. That’s what is memorable.

 

Granted, it gets easier to hold bigger leads, but the Sox really do need to replace about 3-4 bullpen pitchers next season…

I'd keep the BP catcher though.
