7/21 Mets @ SOX game 2 7:10PM ET

Scherzer vs Paxton

 

My bad. S/B 7/22.

 

Duran

Masa

Turner(DH)

Devers

Dugo

Casas

Kike

Alfaro

Chang

 

SOX must stop 3 game skid. Scherzer is no longer prime-time. I'm not concerned about him, but I am concerned that the SOX have been struggling to get that big hit in their last 3 games.

 

Go SOX!

Looking for the Sox to actually get lucky with a decent umpire and a few mental and physical errors by Mets . Note that this is the third consecutive series against a sub.500 team. Results so far are 3-4. Not exactly a dash to the WC cash.

[vegasbob]

9 pitch first inning bodes well for Paxton. Can't pitch a perfect game without a 1-2-3 first . Kike at 2B, be alert

[vegasbob]

The problem with Kike being in the lineup is he can't then PH for Duran.. Oh, Duran opens the scoring with a lead off HR

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Duran and Casas; the future.

[vegasbob]

It is good to see them taking the ball out of the yard and posting some runs . Casas is building up his numbers after the slow start. Need some late inning game winners too.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Scherzer proving that the SOX pitchers aren't the only ones who allow HR's.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice play by Devers who may have made that tougher than it had to be.

[Nick]

Cora's son strikes out. Sub .600 OPS. Impressive.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Scherzer, Verlander and Lindor are being paid a total of 121 mil this year. I'm not an accountant, but I would guess the Mets aren't getting much bang for the buck. Edited July 23, 2023 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

Paxton has to settle down.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Alfaro; not the future.

[redsoxrules]

The wonderful defense strikes again!

[Jasonbay44]

Alfaro is horrendous

[Oscars]

The 2023 Red Sox are an abysmal defensive team, and show it on a regular basis

[d-money]

Lol making the mets look legit in this series

Nm now it was.

[d-money]

It would be funny now if Scherzer goes 4 shutout innings.

[iortiz]

Lol this is not a mlb caliber team. It’s a bush team.

 

What else JH needs to see to fire Bloom and Cora.

[iortiz]

Btw why Kike is still playing in this team?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Dugo may want to deploy his parachute. Edited July 23, 2023 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

JH isn't entirely blameless, but who's gonna fire him?

Your guess is as good as mine.

He just looked foolish on his AB there.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Cora to Kike: "It's OK son. We'll still go for ice cream after the game."

[Jasonbay44]

Kike and Alfaro are amazing players

Kike and Alfaro are amazing players

 

Expansion team material.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Chang goes clang. HR or nothing.

[Jasonbay44]

With the amount of outfielders we have and with Yu Chang just overall a better shortstop, Kike doesn’t need to play

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Chang goes clang. HR or nothing.

 

Chang reminds me of a smaller version of Mark Reynolds.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Earl Weaver was a big fan of 3-run homers. Probably not so big a fan of 3 one-run homers.
