Nice first hit Abreu! That was smoked

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Let's bury Graveman.

[wyo-sox]

That call has to go to Turner!

[wyo-sox]

I'm hoping the Sox make enough money to buy Yoshida some pants that fit next year.... poor guy should not have to hike them up so high.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

For Boston, this game just got Grave,man.

 

JT has seen fire and rain...

Yoshida's slap hitting not playing well in crunch time. Hitting .239/.612 in last 30 games.

[Duran Is The Man]

The box score says Abreu came in for the bottom of the 4th as a defensive replacement. Did Verdugo get booted while Casas was at bat (and K'd)?

 

yes, Alex got ejected for mouthing at the home plate ump when Casas was batting. not that the ump didn't deserve it.

I thought Graveman was digging himself a hole, but he got out of it.

[Duran Is The Man]

another wasted opportunity.

[vegasbob]

The official count through 7 may be 10 LOB's, but batters have been up with 17 men on base and failed.

[redsoxrules]

Lol Cora

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Might as well keep Abreu in the line-up going forward. He has nothing left to prove at Triple-A. He can't be any worse than Dugo or Masa have been of late.

[redsoxrules]

Llovera is useless. DFA him already

[vegasbob]

f***ing Llovera , a pitcher cannot throw a ball to second. Another dumb MF

[redsoxrules]

There's a rookie mistake

[vegasbob]

Abreu is another Hunter Renfroe with his big arm. No basic baseball mental discipline

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Abreu has a strong arm.

[vegasbob]

Crappy throw home regardless of safe/out

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Abreu is another Hunter Renfroe with his big arm. No basic baseball mental discipline

 

Kind of a SSS to critique his 'mental discipline.'

You can see a lot about people by looking at them--Y. Berra

[redsoxrules]

Toronto won and Seattle will probably also win.

 

I think it's RIP 2023 Red Sox

[redsoxrules]

Nice move Bloom on Llovera

My favorite Yogiism is the following: A teammate of Yogi's mentioned that he was going out for dinner at a famous NY eatery. Yogi told him that no one goes there because it's always too crowded.

[wyo-sox]

I would love to know what the front office's goals were this year? Wonder if they really thought they had a contender? Did they think a .500 team would keep the stands full and that would be good enough? Is this a bridge year for them?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice move Bloom on Llovera

 

Nah, ya gotta Llove him.

None; No; Yes; Yes

[Maxbialystock]

Abreu has a strong arm.

 

Worst looking outfielder I can remember seeing for the Sox. First an error on the throw home--10 feet over Wong's glove--now two fumbles on a routine double into the corner.

How appropriate that Graveman was pitching tonight.

[vegasbob]

It's one thing to get beat in a matchup of skills and talent, but to be playing this stupid brand of ball this late in a season is an indictment of the overall preparation and mentality of these guys.

This must be the s*** they are teaching in Worcester.
