5/30 vs Reds

[notin]

Joely Rodriguez is a joke. Another scrap heap project who cannot throw a strike for his life. He will allow this game to get outside GS range

 

And sure enough he did, but it was giving up the GS. What a POS

 

Walking the number 9 hitter with the bases loaded is very bad, but he’s actually been a decent pitcher in his career.

Good day! Good night! Good bye! Was was Wink in a 1-0 game?

 

No, Red, where was Kluber? LOL

[Maxbialystock]

Let's see now . . . Bello goes 4 innings and give ups 1 run, and the bullpen has now gone 2 1/3 innings and given up 7 runs.

 

And Bello gets singled out as a bum by our resident expert and beer connoisseur.

[moonslav59]

Meet the new boss- same as the old boss

 

Bye bye Brasier- Hello Joely!

 

[moonslav59]

Time for a team meeting.

And then he follows it up with a grand slam to a light hitting backup CF…

[Old Red]

I don't drink, but my guess is you've had two or three too many Gansetts. Otherwise you would have more sense than to single out Bello for criticism when it's the rest of the team--the bullpen and the lineup--that are falling on their asses.

 

Yes, 5 innings for the bullpen. Too freaking bad. But at least Bello--unlike Sale, Kluber, Pivetta, Houck, Paxton, Whitlock, whoever--didn't give the game away. He went 4, giving up 1 run. And you want to label him a bum.

 

Yes 5 innings for the BP is my point, and that once again is unacceptable.

Joely Rodríguez seems like a DFA candidate

Guys. As has been said more than once. Just stop.

What the hell is a Gansett?

 

Narragansett lager. With some of the funniest and often tasteless ads some 60-70 years ago.

[Old Red]

Like I asked earlier. Where was Wink when the game was 1-0?

[FredLynn]

No, Red, where was Kluber? LOL

 

Kluber is on paternity leave.

A Main sponsor of the Red Sox. Hey neighbor.

[FredLynn]

Time for a team meeting.

 

I am afraid that a team meeting is not going to be nearly enough. This team just doesn't have the talent, especially when compared to the other ALE teams.

[Maxbialystock]

This game was bad, and they should feel bad

 

Spot on. I sometime like to say a shutout (of our hitting) combined with a bloodbath (of our pitching) means we didn't waste good hitting or good pitching.

 

But the Sox look awful tonight. Bello only lasted 4 innings, but at least he showed some guts on a night when he did not have his best stuff.

[illinoisredsox]

Time for a team meeting.

 

I’d recommend a mandatory 8 am practice tomorrow morning. Everyone except tomorrow’s starting pitcher can be there.

Does Chaim Bloom just sign random guys to pitch out of the pen every few weeks? Who the f*** is Ryan Sherriff

[vegasbob]

Oh boy, What a comeback now that the game is a little out of hand. Seriously, Cora should have pulled Rodriguez at about 30 pitches

[vegasbob]

Kluber is on paternity leave.

 

More useful than ever. What a contributor.

33 year old journeyman. He was up with the Sox a few weeks ago and got into a couple of games. I don’t think he allowed any runs but it was a MSS (microscopic sample size).

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If one can accept the fact this team isn't going to the PO's, but may still finish over .500, losses won't drive one so crazy.

Bob Marley shot him, but he didn't shoot no deputy.

Doubtful they will finish over .500 if only because of the division in which they play. They are the worst team in the ALE. Its going to be a season of very low expectations.....but we will all be there watching.

[Old Red]

Seriously when Cora took Bello out down 1-0 Wink should have been the first guy in. You got what you deserved with what he’s brought in.

[vegasbob]

8 runs allowed by the BP after that incredibly horrible start by Bello sunk them. If that GS had not occured this would still be an interesting game as the Sox bats maybe wake up.

It's definitely an addiction.

Except the Reds change who they use out of the pen in a closer game. Can’t assume the game plays out the same.

Brain dead Yoshida

I’d be more impressed with calling for that move had you made it before the top of the 5th (i.e. in real time).

When enough people continue to exalt how great a manager Cora is, one tends to believe it, even when one's eyes tell a different story.
