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

Damn fine job by Pivetta.

[Dipre]

Every time you think Casas is ready to break out, he reminds you he is average . OTOH , Kike is flat useless

 

I'll find you and kick your ass next time you compare my boy to Kike.

I trust that you have ever heard the phrase " compare and contrast" . I contrasted Casas still developing potential as a "100 OPS+" ballplayer to Kike's 0% possibility of ever being my fav Red Sox. There is no comparison.

Clarification accepted. But I've got my eye on you vegasbob. The other is on Bloom. If tries to re-sign Kike, y'all just watch the news....

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

So far Pivetta seems to have found his true calling as a long reliever. And not a minute too soon.

Way da Go, Dugo! SOX trying their darndest to ruin the Canada weekend.

[vegasbob]

Congrats to Dugo for enabling the sweep, but get one more please, maybe 2 or 3. Is Kenley on the agenda ?

Jacques up. Why not Martin to save his own game with the off day tomorrow? He only threw 9 pitches in the 8th.

Your boy is asleep today, Dip

Well let’s see if they can close it out.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Why do most LH batters have prettier swings than RH batters? Is it related to how the earth spins?

[d-money]

Jacques a lefty?

[d-money]

2 more outs. Let’s go!

The LH swinger is on a trajectory towards 1B so it's a graceful continuation move. The RH hitter has to stop his entire momentum and reverse direction of his hips/legs/torso

[d-money]

Throw strikes.

[d-money]

Good sinker. 1 more out.

No idea. I’ve always wondered why a lefty can throw that curve/slider that breaks from the left handed batters box across to the right handed batters box but you never see a righty throw it a similar pitch.

[vegasbob]

Hope Jacques got the memo on 3 outs in the inning

[d-money]

Beautiful sweep! The good guys win!!!!

That makes perfect sense.

Incredible series sweep and utter dominance of the dead BJ's . Does this mean I need to start the next game thread too ?

[illinoisredsox]

This one feels like they stole one.

[d-money]

So the Sox are 7-0 against toronto this year. Very nice after last year’s debacle. Edited July 2, 2023 by d-money

Yep

Jacques KOJI. Guess the SOX can trade Jansen. Edited July 2, 2023 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

You can have tomorrow off for doing such a great job, plus the SOX aren't playing.

[Maxbialystock]

Very exciting game. Offense comes through yet again and big time. Too bad about Whitlock, but really good pitching by Pivetta, Martin, and Jacques.

 

5 hits by Duran!! 3 by Devers and 2 by Refsnyder and the game-winning dinger by Dugo!!!

 

The bullpen needs tomorrow off, but I sure wish the lineup could keep playing.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

No idea. I’ve always wondered why a lefty can throw that curve/slider that breaks from the left handed batters box across to the right handed batters box but you never see a righty throw it a similar pitch.

 

 

Well, I'm going with the Earth spin theory.

dam strait you do. Feel free to start it now, but don't forget it's day after tomorrow and at Fenway.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That makes perfect sense.

 

I'm pretty sure that's the best response a Vegas post ever got.
