5/15 vs Mariners

[vegasbob]

For a clue on Houck's prospects for a strong winning effort, watch the 2nd time through the lineup to see if anything starts popping

 

Anybody seen enough yet to know that Tanner Houck needs to be assigned as the 2-3 inning relief specialist?

[moonslav59]

I guess it's inning #5.

 

Maybe he should be the opener.

 

Or, get the last 9 outs.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

With his limited menu of pitches Houck should and probably will be sent back to the BP. It's disappointing at this point that Houck still only has two effective pitches, but then this is the SOX and developing starters isn't their thing.

What is with that harpoon? Every team with a "cool homerun" gimmick to attract the Millennials that don't even watch TV..

Maybe the players just want to have some fun? Who really cares

Looks like it would be effective for carp spearing.

The Rec Sox sending out a lineup of nobodies.

Houck about to to be tested thoroughly this inning , but once again , Where are the hitters ? Now shoutout for the prior 14 innings at Fenway. No wall ball HRs, not a sac fly, but a few DPs . There are some phonies in that lineup.

Kirby is a very good pitcher. He may have something to do with the SOX ineffectiveness.

[Old Red]

Finally a Schreiber sighting!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Funny, when Sale pitched those excellent 8 innings, no one said "man, those Cards can't hit."

Cards , like the Mariners, can hit. The Red Sox cannot do so effectively to score a f'ing run. Bernadino is crap as well. Another Bloom junkyard dog.

I guess Bernardino has regressed to what he really is.

[Old Red]

I guess Bernardino has regressed to what he really is.

 

For some reason he’s become one of Cora’s favorite pitcher.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Now that the game is out of reach, I guess it's time to bring in Schreiber.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

For some reason he’s become one of Cora’s favorite pitcher.

 

Especially now with Bra Man gone.

[Tedballgame]

I guess Bernardino has regressed to what he really is.

 

Yes, he is back down to earth after an impressive start.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Interesting that they even pitched to Devers.

[vegasbob]

Devers breaks through and actually makes 2nd safely, plus the RBI. A major turnaround

[Jasonbay44]

Devers is starting to get hot

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Devers is starting to get hot

 

He's the best hitter on the team and he most lkely will be for the next ten years.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I guess Cora needed another inning to judge Bernardino's ineffectiveness. Has a manager ever been DFA'd?

[Maxbialystock]

Could be we are seeing the second day of the dud liberation movement.

[vegasbob]

Who is this new guy Schreiber ? Might have used him in the Cardinal's series.

[Maxbialystock]

Need room for Whitlock and Crawford.

[vegasbob]

Whoever he was, he didn't last long

[Tedballgame]

Now Schrieber will go on the IL.

[Jasonbay44]

Usually when someone comes out that quickly after a pitch it’s not a good sign

[Maxbialystock]

Ahem. He just walked off the mound. Just maybe he’s been nursing an injury.
