7/07 A's @ SOX 7:10 PM ET

If the Sox batters would take every pitch from Medina, the bases would be loaded again. Instead Luis is racking up K's despite giving up some runs

The plate discipline on this team is just atrocious. It’s embarrassing.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Casas hits an at'em ball, which is less effective than a dunk in the OF. Baseball isn't a fair game. You don't always get rewarded for doing things right.

Using these extreme adjectives on the SOX; what adjectives would you employ for the A's? I mean 'atrocious' is pretty hard to top.

[vegasbob]

Going on a limb here, but that last one handed swing by Chang was a reaction to pain in his left wrist from the ridiculous swing on the prior pitch. I think he is hurting a bit now, and luckily doesn't have the hamate bone to break, but I bet it is still tender.

“Horrendous”?

[d-money]

This division is getting wild with the rays struggling.

[vegasbob]

“Horrendous”?

 

Heinous, godawful, diabolically bad

[notin]

Thunder only has a chance at a ball up in the Monster if Ort comes in later, maybe Garza too.

 

Ort hit the IL today…

Oaklandy

[vegasbob]

Ort hit the IL today…

 

A bad case of the redass, I'm sure.

 

Do you need a note from the team Dr. to go on the IL. It gets a little suspect this time of year.

The two main things I remember about Middlebrooks are !) his 3 HR game in Toronto; almost hit a 4th, and 2) he was dating that very hot blonde who worked for NESN at the time and did on field interviews. Edited July 8, 2023 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

Ort hit the IL today…

 

 

Ort:"I didn't even know I was injured. What's your story Kluber?"

 

Kluber: "Bloom called my cell phone and told me I was injured. I had no idea."

[FredLynn]

Unbelievable

More brain dead baseball

Can’t go a game without looking like idiots in the field

[vegasbob]

Pivetta did not need yet another batter. I do think Raffy gets mind wandering in dull games. The Sox should not think this one is over quite yet

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Does anyone here have Medina on their fantasy baseball team?

[FredLynn]

Nice outing by Pivetta, albeit against a horrendous team

[vegasbob]

Pivetta with 4 strong innings, maybe more (?) , and will get a week off until the guys reassemble at Cubs July 14

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

A bad case of the redass, I'm sure.

Probably one of those crime family doctors; they'll sign anything.

With Paxton going tomorrow, will Wong need to catch him or go to Alfaro? Wong will benefit greatly from the A-S break.

The diagnosis on Kluber was bone spurs.

Good question. I thought Alfaro would catch tonight.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Disregard a pitcher's stats when he's facing the SOX. We should all know by now they mean absolutely nothing.

[vegasbob]

The diagnosis on Kluber was bone spurs.

 

Certainly no joy in seeing a former multi-Cy Young winner go out of his career on a sour note. And we could have used him.

[FredLynn]

More brain dead baseball by Duran. This is one of most egregious defensive teams I have ever seen.

Now it’s 5-3.

Go As

Screw the Flops

[vegasbob]

Sox hitters in a funk again need to WTFU.

You old man, she was/is a hot brunette NESN reporter that quit to be his wife. The hot blonde left to work for MLB.

 

The only thing I remember about this season is that if the Sox' opponent is good, they'll play good, but if their foe blows, so will the BOSox...

[d-money]

Just embarrassing lol.

[d-money]

As just hanging around.

[FredLynn]

Pivetta deserved better
