6/19 @ Land of 10,000 Mistakes

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Paxton made a mistake on a batter who was due. s*** happens.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

SOX also had opportunities to blow this game wide open, but...

[Maxbialystock]

Lopez has pretty much dominated the Sox lineup so far--except, thank goodness, for Duran.

[Jasonbay44]

Unrelated but I just saw on ESPN that Luis Arraez just had his 2nd 5 hit game in 3 days and is now hitting .400

[Maxbialystock]

Casas is heavy and slow.

[Jasonbay44]

Another chance to score here

[Maxbialystock]

Paxton made a mistake on a batter who was due. s*** happens.

 

Not the only mistake that inning. Don't forget the HBP when he had an 0-2 count.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Pablo has to make contact here.

[Jasonbay44]

What the f*** kind of AB was that Reyes?

[FredLynn]

Actually, Sale, Paxton, Houck, Whitlock, and Bello have been pretty good this season. Kluber and Pivetta, not so much. Same goes for Crawford.

 

They have been good for the past few games. I don’t have access to BR right now but the eye test would indicate that they haven’t been good overall.

[Maxbialystock]

Pretty awful AB for Reyes--looked like Devers and Yoshida. Clueless.

[vegasbob]

All Reyes has to do is make contact to open possibilities for a run. But instead the 4th K with RISP that I can recall

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

It's ok, we got Double Trouble up...

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Not the only mistake that inning. Don't forget the HBP when he had an 0-2 count.

 

These pitchers are human not machines. Paxton has been money since he's come back.

[FredLynn]

What the f*** kind of AB was that Reyes?

 

Reyes isn’t a ML player. Career OPS+ of 80.

[Jasonbay44]

I get that Refsnyder kills LHP, but really? Pinch hitting for a guy whose 3-3 with 3 doubles and knocked in two runs?

[Jasonbay44]

Alright Verdugo we need a hit

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

The Red Sox have become so cheap they pinch-hit for a guy with three doubles just so he won't break any more bats.

[vegasbob]

These pitchers are human not machines. Paxton has been money since he's come back.

 

Maybe we could get robo-pitching machines throwing to robo umpires. Get rid of all this uncertainty

[Jasonbay44]

Verdugo!

[notin]

Yeah not sure what Cora was “thinking” there, except maybe “how can I overmanage this?”

[vegasbob]

Dugo rips the Twins a new one. Way to go

[wyo-sox]

He's Hungry Like a Wolf!

 

Well played sir... very damn well played.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

DUGO does GOOD!

[vegasbob]

Can the swing meister pick up Dugo ?/ Who knows Edited June 20, 2023 by vegasbob

Yet again--

 

Cora right, Talksoxers clueless.

 

Thank goodness it was Dugo at bat and not Devers.

Well played sir... very damn well played.

 

One could say, "He's Come Undone," but that can have negative connotations.

[FredLynn]

Huge hit by Verdugo.

 

And Devers is going to have to get it going. He is better than this.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

I can't believe on an 0-2 pitch that the Twins catcher called for a bases-loaded triple. CERAusly.

[Jasonbay44]

Yet again--

 

Cora right, Talksoxers clueless.

 

Thank goodness it was Dugo at bat and not Devers.

 

Yeah Cora only makes right moves, absolutely right!
