9/5/23 Red Sox continue with Rays in Tropicana , 6:40 EDT

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I called for a wild pitch.

[moonslav59]

Bunt coming here

 

who needs to bunt when you are playing against the Sox...errrr. I mean ... the Rays D?

[moonslav59]

Was that ReeseWhitherspoon PH'ing?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Need another wild pitch or a balk or an error or an error called a hit.

WP did the job, but McGuire’s tap would have anyway.

[vegasbob]

McGuire hit some early in the year but in reality he is not good with the bat

[Jasonbay44]

We’ll take it!

[moonslav59]

Was that Urias Heep at bat?

Error called a hit was close.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Urias is the son of Uranus and should be treated as such.

[illinoisredsox]

Error called a hit was close.

 

Not an easy play as far as he had to go.

You have become insufferable.

 

Turner’s ball was hit hard. It was also a play that should have been made. Two things can be true at the same time.

 

The SS was right in front of it and he moved out of the way so he could Ole it. If he had just stood there it would have hit him right in the clove on one bounce. And no...that was not a shot.....more of a looping liner.

 

Then Siri who did make a very good to great play in the OF earlier in the game crosses in front of the RFer as he is trying to make a catch. What the hell was he doing there? The correct place for him to be would have been several feet in front of the RFer so that if the RFer gave himself up trying to make the catch and the ball rebounded off the wall Siri could have hunted it down without much damage. From where Siri was he was just in the way and in no position to do anything. Then in the next half inning Siri lays down a bunt and Casas who is often found chewing on his glove at 1st base fails to get back to first so that there is somebody for the pitcher to toss the ball to in order to recored an out.

 

Defense/fielding in MLB this year is just terrible and it will remain terrible until MLB adapts to life without the shift and gets more all around ballplayers in the game....guys that can actually hit AND field some position.

[jung]

Like I said, you have become insufferable.

 

If truth is insuperable then I guess I am insufferable.

[d-money]

Might wanna throw strikes.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

3rd appearance in row for Kenley. This is unknown territory.

[d-money]

f*** you Jansen!

[Jasonbay44]

Lol really

[jung]

3rd appearance in row for Kenley. This is unknown territory.

 

Well I guess now its known territory

[redsoxrules]

3rd appearance in row for Kenley. This is unknown territory.

 

First time all season.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

3rd appearance in row for Kenley. This is unknown territory.

 

Not unknown any longer.

[moonslav59]

B Lowe has always killed the Sox.

[d-money]

Lol really

 

Looking at gameday that pitch was up. 🤦*♂️ Right in the wheelhouse.

[illinoisredsox]

3rd appearance in row for Kenley. This is unknown territory.

 

You could see that coming in the AB against Diaz. Couldn’t put him away.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Tough loss, but there's always tomorrow.

[vegasbob]

Now Jansen has lost 6 games

[illinoisredsox]

Might wanna throw strikes.

 

How did that work out?

[d-money]

How did that work out?

 

Well that walk didn’t help.

[BOSOX11]

Jansen is garbage. If he was any good, the Dodgers would have kept him. We just pulled his sorry ass out of the recycle bin.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

B Lowe has always killed the Sox.

 

Actually, the SOX kill themselves. They don't need any help.

[illinoisredsox]

Jansen is garbage. If he was any good, the Dodgers would have kept him. We just pulled his sorry ass out of the recycle bin.

 

He saved 30 games this year, they’re asking him to do something he hasn’t done all year and he’s garbage?
