8/25 Dodgers @ SOX 7:10PM ET

[Duran Is The Man]

It was also brought up by someone else that sitting Abreu v the lefty on Saturday seemed like the probable plan.

 

"Everyone plays" should involve playing the guy who has hardly played, at all- the hottest one-- ABREU!!!

 

This is a major head-scratcher.

 

Masas better do well!

 

 

this has always been one of my biggest gripes about Cora. sit the hot hitter for a guy that's been stinking it up lately.

Agree, and then to top it off, he sometimes does it vs the wrong handed pitcher.

[moonslav59]

Now, I fully expect Masa and Casas to rake, tonight and shut me the EFFF up!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Storyland may finally be open.

[moonslav59]

Maybe "storytime" can actually be stories we like.

[Old Red]

Storyland may finally be open.

 

Finally!

i agree. i'd love to see Masa tear it up tonite.

[moonslav59]

Mookie sucks!

[wyo-sox]

Just put the game on .... where did our 3 runs come from?

[vegasbob]

Well, Verdugo and Crawford making the Betts trade look lopsided, which it may have been. Warning to some: Sarcasm present)

Lead-off HR by Dugo and 2-run homer by Story.

[wyo-sox]

Man Kutter looking good

[Jasonbay44]

The bats look good and so does Kutter

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Credit where credit's due. McGuire was a damn good pick-up by Bloom.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

More pop-ups than an internet web site.

[Jasonbay44]

Story has been very solid defensively. Glad the SS defense is at least good now

Story is just a solid athlete. If he was put in the OF, he'd probably be a great defensive outfielder.

What did Crawford have to do with that trade? Or were you referring to Crawford retiring Betts first two times?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Devers is hitting .220 on outside pitches, so what does he swing at on a 3-0 count? Of course, an outside pitch. Very frustrating batter to watch. Edited August 26, 2023 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

All of a sudden Cora is Captain Hook. Very good job by Kutter tonight.

[d-money]

This team has been stuck on 3 runs. They can’t get more.

 

Welp. Here we go.

[d-money]

Brand new game.

[Oscars]

Devers is hitting .220 on outside pitches, so what does he swing at on an 0-3 count? Of course, an outside pitch. Very frustrating batter to watch.

 

Devers has always been his own worst enemy with swing decisions

That s/b 3-0 count. I'm a bonehead.

[moonslav59]

How many times has Devers swung on an o-3 count? NEVER!

 

On 3-0 counts, yes, and many for HRs.

 

His OPS when swinging on 3-0?

 

2.170

 

In the 12 times he swung, he's got 5 hits, including 3 HRs.

 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

And the pop-ups keep on popping.

I saw the error of my ways and did correct it.

Oh, come on. He has held Crawford to a max of 90 pitches, and he had 86 and was clearly "done" with two straight hits--hard hit double and hard hit single-- to start off the 6th inning.

 

The problem is Pivetta has been a freaking disaster and is still in there.

[Jasonbay44]

Great work Pivetta!

[moonslav59]

Still. Devers has a great record when swinging on 3-0 counts.
