5/15 vs Mariners

[vegasbob]

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

 

That may turn out to be a real possibility and Cora, unbeknownst to us was holding him back , maybe some forearm soreness that wasn't clearing itself up ?

[Maxbialystock]

Never fear, Bleier’s here and all is well.

 

Except for the hitting of course.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Get one reliever back from IL and another one goes on IL. And, of course, it's an effective reliever.

[Maxbialystock]

Could be

[Maxbialystock]

Please, please, if you think the Sox can score some runs, speak up. Because I don’t.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

After all the sidekick auditions in the booth, I declare the winner Lou Merloni and it's not even close.

Seriously, the way pitchers are babied do you really believe a manager would allow a pitcher with any type of arm soreness to pitch? Maybe it was caused due to lack of use.

[vegasbob]

It would be a great outcome to see a 6 run inning by Boston take this otherwise weak night and propel it into space.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Wong has been wrong for a long time.

[Maxbialystock]

Let’s see now. 2 days ago the Sox had 13 pitchers including 6 starters (pivetta should never be allowed to pitch in relief).

 

Of the 7 relievers, Winck and Jansen and Bernardino are suspect. Bleier might be. Brasier is gone. Schreiber is headed for the IL.

 

Who’s left?

[vegasbob]

Dugo has lost his mojo. He needs to find a way back to the All Star caliber play/hitting he featured in April, early May. Getting too anxious and jumping at bad pitches.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I see your Speier and raise you a Bleier.

[Maxbialystock]

Dugo lines out ever so softly with the bases loaded. Sox still with one lonely run.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It's definitely not funny, but now that Devers is hitting most of the other LH's have stopped.

DFA Dugo.

[Maxbialystock]

Assuming the Sox lose, Winck and Jansen should be available tomorrow. But will they be needed?

[Jasonbay44]

Bleier needs to join Brasier

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

With Pivettaboutit pitching tomorrow the SOX will probably need Wink, but not Kenley.

Shades of early April returning

[Oscars]

Bleier has looked like s*** all season , why can’t he get injured?!

[Old Red]

Dave Busch stay in the dugout. You coming out is not going to help this BP that was so good the ist month, but now looks mostly like mop up guys.

[Old Red]

Cora has that deer in the headlights look again.

[vegasbob]

Bleier throws 18 pitches, gets one out, gives up multiple hits, HR, runs and generally is not competent for MLB level pitching

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Now that the Dollar Store is charging more than a dollar for items, JH has told Bloom not to shop for players there anymore.

Stick with Good Will.

I’d say the Sox bullpen is in full collapse. This is the fourth straight game in which they have opened the floodgates. The four Sox starters in those games went 24 innings while giving up 10 runs. The bullpen 12 innings so far and 18 runs.

[Old Red]

Where’s Bra Man, and Ort when you need them?

[Duran Is The Man]

this is what happens when the worst hitting team in the league meets the worst pitching staff in the league.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Where’s Bra Man, and Ort when you need them?

 

"Down by the river; down by the river Charles."

[Old Red]

"Down by the river; down by the river Charles."

 

Maybe Bloom can bring Hansel back.

Fans leaving ballpark thinking they should have used that money to go see Stephen King's new movie THE BOGEYMAN.
