8/29 vs Astros

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The more Duval is hitting the more his price tag raises for next year

 

Possibly, but Duvall has a history of being a streak hitter, so he could just as easily turn cold during a large part of September.

Sox fortunate they are only trailing by 1. Houston putting some good wood on the ball

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Having said that, Duvall will definitely want at least two years and more than his current 7 mii/yr.

France seems to be a whole different country tonight.

Oh Devers

[vegasbob]

Oh Devers

Got to love the grinning man having fun

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Oh Devers

 

He'd make a great defensive DH.

[Old Red]

Oh Devers

 

Bad play by Devers, but what is Casas doing stretching for a ball that’s going over his head. Bad play on both ends.

[vegasbob]

Bello struggling in 5th, but defense determined to sink him

[Old Red]

Extra outs = extra pitches again.

[redsoxrules]

This is why Defense is so important. Got to make the easy plays. Something that this team has a hard time doing. The inning should be over with no runs scores and Bello probably goes another inning

[Randy Red Sox]

Worst defensive 3B in MLB and he ain't getting any better

Oh Devers

[iortiz]

Extra outs = extra pitches again.

 

This defense is pathetic. Turning a double play is literally rocket science for this team.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Bello gets pulled because of little league defense. That's Cora baseball. I'll have to wait for his book so I can understand it.

[Randy Red Sox]

watching Devers play 3B is infuriating.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Bello gets pulled because of little league defense. That's Cora baseball. I'll have to wait for his book so I can understand it.

 

I know it's not obvious, but I don't like Cora.

In Little Leagues play way better defense. Not kidding.

[Randy Red Sox]

it is what you get when you use M/L players at key spots

This defense is pathetic. Turning a double play is literally rocket science for this team.

[Randy Red Sox]

and I don't like Bloom either. Varietk needs to be the manger

I know it's not obvious, but I don't like Cora.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

My apologies to Little League Baseball.

[Tedballgame]

Ground ball to first. Ground ball to second. Ground ball to second. Good inning.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Ground ball to first. Ground ball to second. Ground ball to second. Good inning.

 

I believe that's where the saying "you've been grounded" originated.

[redsoxrules]

More missed execution on defense

[vegasbob]

Schreiber not effective and McGuire poorly plays catcher at the plate. Watching any vague dreams of winning sliding away. Duvall is not fast enough to play CF in Fenway

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Ball arrived in plenty of time, but a terrible job by McGuire. But it's only defense and we all know how unimportant that is.

[Old Red]

Masa playing ping pong with the IF again.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

HR's are nice. A solo homer is like kissing your sister, where as a 3-run homer is like kissing Angie Dickinson in her prime. A grand slam is like getting past 3rd base.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Masa playing ping pong with the IF again.

 

 

When it comes to ping pong, Koreans are the best.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Toronto also doesn't seem that interested in making the PO's.

[vegasbob]

Winck just doesn't have the stuff he showed earlier. He has been used up.
