8/06 Jays @ SOX

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

You should already know the starters and line-up if you've watched the pre game show.

 

 

 

Go SOX!

[Jasonbay44]

This game is essentially a must win if they want to actually make playoffs

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Another big crowd today so JH is happier than a pig in mud.

[wyo-sox]

phew

[wyo-sox]

Hope the sit down works with Verdugo.... He certainly has not been himself. His at-bats- he just looks likes he is going through the motion- a real lack of enthusiasm in his body language for the past month or so. He was so full of energy and anticipation at the beginning of the year. Hope he gets back to that.

[Jasonbay44]

Big scoring chance here

[vegasbob]

Verdugo fails to make amends leaving the bases loaded. Over last 30 games , 118 PA's he is hitting .185/.573 .

 

He has not been the same player since his grandmother died, got overlooked for the A-S game , began slumping and displaying an obvious passive attitude towards the game, culminating with being late ( 2 hours pregame) pissing off el jefe .

 

Could have benefited many parties if he had any trade value, but didn't.

Kike must have donated his crappy yellow shoes to Reyes . Those jinxed shoes will lead to Pablo having the throwing yips .

[wyo-sox]

"That should all be taught before you get here" Amen Wake!

The Boston Rally Killers

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

When Duran hits into a DP, that's a strong sign the end is near.

Maybe the reason nobody offered what Bloom wanted for Dugo was because the other GMs are hip to his schtick.

Red Sox have a bad habit of going into the tank after the trade deadline, making decisions to hold on to walk year players look STUPID.

[redsoxrules]

Omf Duran, how do you miss that

[Tedballgame]

Duran alligator armed that one.

[vegasbob]

Defense , catching flyballs even after a long run

[a700hitter]

The team D sucks.

[a700hitter]

They can’t catch the ball and they don’t know how to run the bases.

[wyo-sox]

I can forgive Duran for an error.... sun must have made it tough.

[d-money]

Hit parade early by this team.

[redsoxrules]

And the miss catch leads to runs. This team needs a serious overhaul on D next year

[wyo-sox]

.... and playing from behind...

One thing about last year's trade deadline I wasn't aware of until recently was the fact that Bogey had a no-trade clause in his contract. So there was no way Bloom could have traded him anyway. Bogey screwed the SOX.

[Tedballgame]

Chaim made a huge mistake by not selling at the deadline. This team was never good enough to win any type of playoff series even if they snuck in, especially without adding talent. Just like last year, Chaim blew the trade deadline.

[vegasbob]

The constant BP games have caught up to the Sox . Expecting multiple innings from pitchers day after day . Murphy at over 40 pitches is now throwing layups to Jays.

[wyo-sox]

No pitching, lackluster defense, and dead bats.... this needs to change quick..... we are starting to dig a hole here at this point in the season.

There were plenty of other guys he could have traded and got something in return.

[d-money]

What a complete shitshow by this team at home in this series. Just f***ing terrible.

I don’t think winning 2 WS for Boston was screwing the Sox. Ridiculous.

I don’t know about that. The simple fact is this team did nothing at the deadline. I mean you can’t wait for your pitchers to come back. That’s why they’re screwed. Too many injuries and need better starting pitching.
