4/1 vs O’s

[notin]

Sox bats look ok.

 

But I’ve been saying all off-season the entire outcome depends on Sale. The early returns are not good.

 

But on the bright side, only one more season after this one. ( Calling it now - his 2025 option based on a top ten Cy Young finish will NOT vest.)

[notin]

Are we seeing a strong Oriole offense or lousy Red Sox pitching?

 

Couldn’t it be both?

[d-money]

Pitching pitching . This team has none of that. How would you summarize sale’s career in boston?

Nope -- Kluber and Sale are cooked placeholders. The only way to contention is if both Bello and Whitlock emerge as above-average starters.

[guinness22]

Kelly. Ort. Brasier. What could go wrong? Lol. Of course if the starters could go more than 3 innings that would help too.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

With the wind blowing out in Fenway, this one is long from over.

 

Dean Wormer is done after four. Otter seduced his wife, Bluto and D-Day left horse heini in his office.

[d-money]

Of course the bats are gonna go silent now. Thank goodness for the Bruins. What a season for pasta. The hat trick today.

[mvp 78]

I watched some of the Padres game last night. How refreshing it was to listen to Donny O again.

 

Dave O’Brien and Youk is just a s*** combo. The audio version of paint drying. Get Merloni in there at least.

[mvp 78]

Why don't you like Youk? I mean don't you want to know that maybe a slider is coming unless it's a curve but if it's off the plate that's no good you know hitters like good pitches sometimes have trouble with bad ones but it's a little different when the count is 2-2 because another strike and you're out but a ball and you're 3-2 which is a good thing especially if you want to walk because one more outside and you're on unless it's just off because the ump might call it a strike so you better swing at least foul it off because it's better to get on base than to make an out on the other hand you don't want to hit into a double play because two outs are worse than none so you have to be thinking when the pitcher throws the pitch and don't forget the pitch clock you know back in the day they didn't have one ... [REPEAT]

Like the worst blind date ever.

Cora brought in Wink to help the Oriole’s hitters lock in on getting the barrel to the ball.

[mvp 78]

Winckowski has been good so far this year. Not so much for every other pitcher.

[mvp 78]

Scheiber struggled this Spring. Hasn’t turned it around.

[vegasbob]

Once again the pitching is just not quite ready for prime time.

[redsoxrules]

Duval has to hit cleanup for this team.

[a700hitter]

Winckowski has been good so far this year. Not so much for every other pitcher.

His bat to ball skills are unparalleled.

[a700hitter]

Casas K’d leaving runners on base and to make matters worse he chipped a nail!

[d-money]

Close but no cigar. Looks like this team might come up short once again.

[Old Red]

Dave O’Brien and Youk is just a s*** combo. The audio version of paint drying. Get Merloni in there at least.

 

I would rather listen to Merloni than the rest of the Yuckers they’ve got lined up again this year.

Still on the same pace as the 2021 team!

[sk7326]

Hey - Sale went a full start without being kidnapped and being forced to knit T-shirts in bangladesh for 17 cents an hour. So that's a positive!

[redsoxrules]

Still on the same pace as the 2021 team!

 

2021 team had way more talent.

[sk7326]

2021 team had way more talent.

 

I'm trying to have fun ... 160-2 is still a great season,

[vegasbob]

So the Orioles have stolen 10 bases in 2 games. Sox haven't.

[vegasbob]

Here comes the walk-off win to get the season rolling. Who has got a bomb in their bat ?

[moonslav59]

I'll go with Casas, if we can get to him.

[vegasbob]

I'll go with Casas.

 

Going to have to do some hitting to get to Casas, or maybe a couple walks will work

[moonslav59]

Fitting: it comes down to Yoshida.

[moonslav59]

Fitting: it comes down to Duvall.

Turns out it was Duvall

[mvp 78]

That’s crazy.
