June 1, Reds @ Boston

Everyone remember the bad throw by Devers last night followed by the three so-called unearned runs? I like Turner a lot, but I think Casas catches that throw and gets the 3d out.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Greene going at a 21 K pace, but it won't happen because starters don't pitch 9 innings anymore.

[wyo-sox]

So frustrating how a team can be so on offensively... then so off.

[wyo-sox]

Maybe a lucky ball dropping like that will spark the bats???

[wyo-sox]

Casas an auto out it feels like. How long does he get to try to prove he belongs here?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Based on the money involved, it could be argued that the Kike signing is just as bad as the Kluber signing..

[wyo-sox]

Kike could at least be valuable as a Brock Holt type guy. Probably over paid... but he just is not an every day SS. Using him in a different role is an option. Kluber.... just ugly, no way to find any value with him.

The one advantage Kike has over Kluber is Kike can be traded if the SOX agree to eat some of his salary.

Any report on Sale?

[wyo-sox]

Here's a spot Devers should deliver on. Carry the team here.

Any report on Sale?

 

Left shoulder soreness

[Maxbialystock]

Heckuva, heckuva ball game. Too bad no one else on talksox is watching it. Instead, the usual bellyaching about anything and everything.

 

I think the big change in Pivetta is he's throwing a lot of breaking balls and throwing them well. Clean 7th inning.

[Maxbialystock]

Thanks.

Pivetta looked great there for sure.

[wyo-sox]

Kluber can't do that

[Maxbialystock]

Hmm. Public enemy #1 on talksox, the worst player in Sox history--according to all of you--just hit the go ahead dinger.

[Maxbialystock]

Kluber can't do that

 

You are probably right, but I think he should--depend more on the breaking stuff than on that worthless fast ball of his.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Kluber can't do that

 

Actually, that did look like a Kluber pitch.

Well to be fair he's still not having a good season. Minus WAR at the moment

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

You're going a little bit over the top, Max. Kind of like Nicolas Cage.

[Maxbialystock]

Cora knows ten times as much as I do, but I would have stayed with Pivetta vice bringing in Martin.

 

I wrote that before the double, but you don't have to believe me.

Wow! Wow! Wow! You called him an idiot on here not to long ago, so I hope you are including yourself.

[Maxbialystock]

Tie game, just like that.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I guess tonight was the usually reliable Martin's turn to shite the bed.

[Maxbialystock]

Wow! Wow! Wow! You called him an idiot on here not to long ago, so I hope you are including yourself.

 

I could have, but I don't remember doing so. Maybe it was for an at bat.

[wyo-sox]

I think Kiki is a good mlb player. I don't think he's worth 10 million, and don't think he is an every day SS.

[wyo-sox]

Actually, that did look like a Kluber pitch.

true true

[Maxbialystock]

Gidp!!

[Maxbialystock]

Completely agree they overpaid him at $10M.

[Maxbialystock]

OK, 2-2. Bad start by Martin, but good finish. Very exciting ball game.
