7/06 Rangers @ SOX 7:10 PM ET

Wong with a huge night, on base 4 times

[Jasonbay44]

Player of the game right now is probably Winckowski for allowing 0 runs after coming into the game with 2nd and 3rd no one out

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The SOX are outrangering the Rangers.

[Duran Is The Man]

bottom of the lineup coming thru today.

Pretty impressive.

Yup. That was big.

[Maxbialystock]

Given the two starters and how Crawford only lasted 4 innings while giving up 3 runs, I do think Cora has outmanaged whoever is managing the Astros.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Wong has shown previously that bunting is not his skill. Clear the wall, Connor

 

Screw that bunting s***

 

 

It's a lost art anyway. Probably hidden somewhere in the Vatican.

[Maxbialystock]

Yup. That was big.

 

Agree with both of you. Winck was THE MAN tonight.

[Jasonbay44]

Turner is a very good hitter

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

After Turner retires some team should hire him as the hitting coach.

[wyo-sox]

Glad I got home when I did.... quite the hit parade here.

[Jasonbay44]

This is just amazing. Everything is going the Sox way this inning

[wyo-sox]

pretty much cementing we get swept by the A's.... LOL... only kidding.. being sarcastic.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Old time Fenway baseball. Lots of runs and a long game. I love it.

[Duran Is The Man]

batting around. haven't seen that in some time. or so it seems.

[vegasbob]

Sometimes, it's your turn and better to be lucky than good tonight

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

What happened? Did Roy Hobbs pinch hit?

[vegasbob]

Or take the reverse and sweep the A's to make a move on Toronto's slippery grip of the 3rd WC

[vegasbob]

Write down all the really hard hit wall shots and foul line rockets this big inning, plus factor in all the HR's. Oh wait ?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

In memory of Earl Weaver that equals two 3-run homers.

[vegasbob]

Note that Bochy never stopped managing his team and working the pitchers even when everything was breaking against him.. There are still 6 outs to get and if one can score 6, so can the other. Not to pick on Cora when we are winning but i think he has laid down in some negative games this year.

I saw the field lights acting crazy and my first thought was Roy Hobbs.

[Maxbialystock]

Dugo

Turner(DH)

Masa

Devers

Duvall

Casas

Kike

Hamilton

Wong

 

Before anyone asks I have no idea why Duran isn't in the line-up.

 

Pretty big blunder all right. With Duran in and Casas watching, the Sox would have had a chance of winning tonight.

 

Past time to get a new manager.

After Turner retires some team should hire him as the hitting coach.

 

Turner has been a damn good hitter for many years. He's the kind of player that had he been a Sox player and signed with another team for this season, many on this board would be crying about how "Bloom let him walk."

 

However, when we sign a guy like him, we hear crying about how we let JD walk.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Dugo should work with Casas regarding how to be more relaxed at the plate.

[moonslav59]

BAL is killing NYY 14-0. (Severino got shelled.)

SEA is up on HOU 4-1 in the 8th.

CWS are up on TOR 3-2 in the 5th, but TOR won game 1.

For what it is worth, TBR lost to PHI 3-1.

 

[vegasbob]

Dugo should work with Casas regarding how to be more relaxed at the plate.

 

" Stands like a statue, becomes part of the machine"...... Too bad his parents didn't name him Tommy. He is in fact very still and stiff looking. The walks are contributing but the failure to sharply hit the strikes is why he is there. Given his other noted oddities, I'm suspecting Triston is a little bit over the line on the OCD spectrum.

[Maxbialystock]

Note that Bochy never stopped managing his team and working the pitchers even when everything was breaking against him.. There are still 6 outs to get and if one can score 6, so can the other. Not to pick on Cora when we are winning but i think he has laid down in some negative games this year.

 

First of all, his team was leading until the bottom of the 7th when the dam burst, so of course he was "managing." Second, his team leads MLB in runs scored. Third, his team has a lower ERA than the Sox. Fourth, his starter in this game was his ace and Cora's starter lasted 4 innings. Fifth, if his team does win this game, it sure won't be because of his managing.

Game over

No matter

It’s best to lose as many games as possible

No way this is a playoff team

 

Just a couple innings back…
