Pivetta vs Charlie Morton to see if a new streak can be started.

Pivettaboutit!

Pivettaboutit!

 

Agree. This game is over. Pivetta throws the ever popular hanging curve ball right down the middle.

Nice start! Looks like the new streak is about to stand at #2.

[jad]

He's lucky that strike 3 is in the catcher's glove and not that of some dude in the bleachers.

 

Good hands by McGuire (oops, didn't mean it that way).

When a mediocre pitcher doesn't get help from his defense. Do I need to go on?

[d-money]

Back to the crappy playing. Atlanta is a lot different than playing the Phillies.

Pivetta stink. Stinkvetta

[iortiz]

Pivetta looks like a bum.

[d-money]

Thanks a lot *******.

[redsoxrules]

Pivetta is what he his. A number 5 starter who will get the occasional good start.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I'm not worried about Kike. He'll heat up in the PO's.

[iortiz]

Can't wait for Duvall to replace Kike in the Lup

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The SOX need to assault Morton.

[iortiz]

Pivetta is so afraid to throw strikes man lol

 

Take his ass off the game already!

[Maxbialystock]

Sox tonight are giving every indication they can lose 8 in a row as easily as they won 8 in a row.

[Maxbialystock]

With Yoshida, Duran, and Verdugo in the outfield, Kike plays infield or not at all. Duvall is probably going to replace Duran.

I think it’s more likely Casas or Valdez gets the hook and Turner plays more 1B/2B while the outfielders alternate DH. Duran is playing way too well to take out of the lineup.

He has no problem throwing strikes because that's what the Braves are hitting. His problem he can't hit corners. Most of his strikes have been right down the middle.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Ist time Masa has swung and missed in May.

Well, he made up for that.

Half of them or so have been balls.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Pivetta usually settles down after a couple of early bad innings.

Whatever. To me all these future lineups are sand castles.

Yeah! you don't let that bat on the bench.

 

Kike is a utility player, not a titular in my book. Wonder whether Valdez or Arroyo can play SS.

Don't you mean "after the game is given away?" Atlanta's up 5-0 and their pitching is better than Philly's.

[Nick]

Never been a big fan of Pivetta. But he will start 33 times for us.

 

Oh goodie.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It's inevitable that MLB teams cool off offensively during parts of the season and then it becomes the responsibility of the pitching staff to carry the load.

[Jasonbay44]

Valdez isn’t much of a defender and only has 17 minor league innings at SS

He's an 'innings eater.' Usually what pitchers are called when there's nothing else positive to say about them.
