6/17 Sox vs Yanks

[Jasonbay44]

Modern baseball, folks. Paxton will have a week off between starts, while Ort starts a game against the Yankees.

 

I don’t get it either. Makes no sense

[Jasonbay44]

Devers taking more walks is a good sign

[d-money]

This guy’s looking like cy young right now lol

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Many hittable pitches by Schmidt not being hit. It's still early.

[Tedballgame]

How in the wild world of sports does Ort start against NY? Pathetic

[Jasonbay44]

Does Kike make any play look easy at SS?

[Maxbialystock]

Middle of the 4th, score 2-0 Yankees.

 

So right now it's the stinking lineup that's losing the game. The Sox are 0 for freaking 5 with RISP. Same old, same old.

Ort wasn’t that horrible, and that says not easy for me to say…

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Kike's approach at the plate; step in the bucket and swing at outside pitches. A tested formula for failure.

[d-money]

Just pathetic offense. Is this guy gonna be the ace next to gerrit cole?

If throwing the ball to first was eliminated, he would be an excellent SS.

I’ll assume that was a auto correct and not a genetic hybrid using DNA from Gerrit Cole and Phil Coke…

The Sox are a .500 team that odd 6 games over when Kike doesn’t play SS, so not sure what conclusion Cora draws from that. “We need to get better when Kike plays SS!!”

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If one thinks the SOX offense is ineffective, just check out the Slam Diego Padres. Their team batting average with RISP is .198.

[Maxbialystock]

Chalk up another error for Devers--not Kike--and of course 4 scoreless innings by the lineup.

 

Sox pitching, even with Ort starting, has been just fine: 2 runs through 5 innings.

[d-money]

Gotta start doing something offensively right now.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Cora wants his dangerous bat in the line-up. But seriously, I have no idea why Cora does what he does.

[Jasonbay44]

Gotta score here. 2 on for Devers

[Maxbialystock]

How does Dugo not score on that?

[Maxbialystock]

Well, that's something. A groundout RBI by the great Devers.

[Jasonbay44]

I’ll take it. 1 run game

[Jasonbay44]

Duvall! TIE GAME

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hopefully, Duvall is getting his groove back. Terrible pitch by Schmidt with an 0-2 count. Thank you, dumb ass.

[Bellhorn04]

Duvall might have some more Mr. Clutch material left in him.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

How does Dugo not score on that?

 

Because he's not Ellsbury.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Because he's not Ellsbury.

 

 

Also because the LF should have caught it, so Dugo couldn't run at the crack of the bat.

[d-money]

Need the pitching to put up zeros now.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Not a bad job by Murphy.

[Maxbialystock]

Cora wants his dangerous bat in the line-up. But seriously, I have no idea why Cora does what he does.

 

I can explain that for you. Cora knows a ton more about baseball and about this team than you do. So, when you say, "I have no idea," you are right.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

A very good job by Pivetta.
