July 2, 2023 Red Sox trying to Sweep Blue Jays 1:37PM EDT

[wyo-sox]

Bernardino is in big trouble because they are calling his curve a curve. These days it must be called a swerve or slurve or something else that makes no sense. A curve won't get anyone out because it's so passe.

 

Well, at least he got through the 2d inning. 1-2-3 too.

 

Good post. I find the "swerve" annoying.

Double D Duran strikes again but not out !

[wyo-sox]

Only thing that could be better about Wong... is if he could have overlapped his stint on the Red Sox with Steven Wright. It would have been pun gold.

[Maxbialystock]

Right elbow tightness for whitlock. My goodness this team is the walking wounded.

 

My goodness is the perfect phrase--and one Cora should be entitled to use several times a day.

 

Duran is looking like the complete pain in the ass we want him to be.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Insert Whitlock in the same file as Arroyo labeled 'Injury Prone.'

[Maxbialystock]

My, my. The ump has starting calling balls balls--against Gausman.

[wyo-sox]

If this is a rebuilding year... Duran may be a gem we find in this .500 season. Really like his approach and attitude.

[Maxbialystock]

3-0 count and Dugo grounds out. Lucky it wasn't a GIDP.

[wyo-sox]

Lead off hitter gets on base... the four hole hitter gets him to home plate. This is a fantastic plan. I hope they keep using it.

Meh. I would give more kudos to Wong and Bello. Also Paxton, but he's a veteran.

 

Also Devers--who seems to be rediscovering his swing.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

DEVERS DEliVERS Again! Looks like he's got his 'groove' back.

Pretty much agree- but don't see it as either, or.... Wong to me is like Duran... playing much better than expected (by me) and giving you a solid piece for the roster next year if they continue. Bello,,,, I think he was on most people's radar for his potential. Devers.... I think he has already been paid as a discovered talent... no surprises there. He is our 3rd baseman for a while... which we knew at the start of the season.

What happened with whitlock? Is this cora babying his players?

 

What an incredibly stupid post and I would have said it real time. My only mistake was starting to peruse the thread without logging in, which meant I actually had to see it.

 

You really need to learn the value of an unexpressed thought.

Ort? Seems like a white flag.

[Maxbialystock]

Tomorrow's a day off. Nothing could be worse for a pitching staff because rust can set in very quickly. Fortunately, Whitlock only went the 1 inning, so Cora will have a chance to bring in lots and lots of arms. Maybe not Winck or Jansen.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Ort should require an L-Screen when he's on the mound.

Dude be quiet cora has a history of resting guys .

[d-money]

Ort- white flag.

[d-money]

Nice job cora.

[vegasbob]

Ort was testing his luck the other day and doesn't have it now

[wyo-sox]

Blue Jays paying very aggressive.. wanting this win and to avoid another sweep. Hopefully our pen can keep us in it. Offensive looks alive on both teams today.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Didn't see that coming.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Ort must have one of those rubber arms that allows Cora to use him in every game.

Absolutely agree there is no need to limit the kudos.

[wyo-sox]

Watching these games most days.... what is our one or two biggest holes to fill next year? For me... it's clearly a 2nd baseman, and secondly a good dependable starting pitcher. I'm hoping / assuming Story is our SS.

Don't forget that so far the Jays are getting some help from the guy behind the plate. I try to avoid slamming umps, but today has been very one-sided (and unintentional).

For games, not after one inning of a starting pitcher.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Kike and Kluber; the Special K's.

He’s also a guy I don’t think they really care if they burn him out. He is utterly replaceable.
