6/09 SOX @ Yankems

[wyo-sox]

Great play by Casas. I do believe he is better at grabbing those off-throw than Turner is.

 

I would agree... but would also say that being better than Turner on defense, at this point in his career, is a pretty low bar.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Every time I see that replay, I think Dugo had no chance at 2d base. But I also agree with Cora that he didn't even try.

 

On your tombstone, Max, it should be written "I agree with Cora."

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That's what you should do with hangers.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Arroyo's on the 15 day HL.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The only thing uglier than Stanton's swing is Tropicana Field.

Been unavoidably detained this week but really enjoyed reading the game thread on the Cora-Kluber Guardians game. Lots of potential reality on the FO vs Cora behind the scenes. Alex may well be showing the FO up, and the team knows it, so plays sloppily.

 

Nice that the Sox and whitlock are competing well so far tonight.

 

I think if this season doesn't result in any notable improvement, there will be changes made by ownership. To me, it all started with a wishin-hopin off season that has backfired spectatcularly on Bloom, the latest being goodbye for 2023 to Sale. At very best it would mid -September before he could pitch again. Chris Frail---remember him well.

You forgot Mark Texiera, aka “Horseface”.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Too bad Duran or Duvall can't play SS.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Or the other Yankem not fondly referred to as penis head.

[Nick]

There's the other half of GIDP twins.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Too bad Duran or Duvall can't play SS.

 

I forgot that Duran throws left handed. Oh, well.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

There's the other half of GIDP twins.

 

He's more productive when he pops out.

[vegasbob]

Poor AB by Yoshida. Passed on 2 center cuts, one at 3-1. What could he have been looking for >

[Nick]

He's more productive when he pops out.

 

Yep.

[d-money]

This offense struggles against good pitching. Whitlock has to be perfect.

[wyo-sox]

Too bad Duran or Duvall can't play SS.

 

But they could play 1st

[iortiz]

They DFAed Tapia and sent down Valdez but kept Hernandez who can’t hit to save his life.

 

Bloom has to go. His management is horrible.

Chaim is also very unlucky and can't catch a break . This makes his judgement mistakes on players really bad

Lately, any pitching.

[vegasbob]

Turner is on the slide of death as a DH. It will take awhile but he's going to lose the comparison contest with JDM

[vegasbob]

Rafi finds the wall and passes by it

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Devers just needed some Cole.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Devers just needed some Cole.

 

Devers' 7th HR against Cole.

[vegasbob]

Cole racking up a 93+ pitch count, may be done after 6, if we can stretch him further

[vegasbob]

Sox have Cole on a growing pitch count and Arroyo attacks three pitches, 2 out of zone to end the inning. Cole is still likely done.

[d-money]

Damn whitlock.

[d-money]

Maybe whitlock can give us 7.

[d-money]

Get that run back.

[wyo-sox]

Maybe whitlock can give us 7.

 

Should be able to

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Donaldson still reminds me of a less good-looking Rutger Hauer.
