Cmon batters, let's help out Nick.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Pivettaboutit. Hoping not to post that because he's really pitched a good game.

Sorry- to clarify... Cmon Boston batters

[Larry Cook]

Very impressed at how pivetta threw the ball today !

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It could have been worse. Kirby could have started last night.

. Agreed 6 innings, one run given up... Should win ball games. He did his part for sure

[harmony]

This Mariner fan has Nick Pivetta and George Kirby (and J.P. Crawford) in his fantasy lineup tonight.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

As a concerned citizen, I think the Seattle manager should not let Kirby return for the 8th inning.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Thank goodness.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hopefully, Devers won't be out for too long.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Rafaela might end up being the lead-off batter in the not too distant future.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Didn't see that coming.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

At this point could Mayer be any worse than Dalbec?

[wyo-sox]

Ughhh feels like we should be winning this game

[wyo-sox]

. No. The fact Bobby is our first line of defense against a Devers injury is really scary

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hopefully, Stanek will continue to stink.

[wyo-sox]

I'm sooo over hearing how tired Yoshida got last year

[Jasonbay44]

I’m ready for robo umps. Casas saw 6 pitcher, all out of the zone, didn’t swing at any and struck out looking. Dumb as s***

[moonslav59]

Tough loss.

 

Great start by Pivetta. (After 2 games, the rotation has been our best area.)

 

Wink looked okay.

 

Gotta hope the O comes around, tomorrow.

[Maxbialystock]

Without Devers, a miserable Sox lineup. Duran absolutely, positively can neither see nor hit a breaking ball. And why oh why is Dalbec on this roster? He has had an infinity of chances and never delivered.

 

I know, it's early. 160 games to go, but tonight was just miserable.

 

Sox pitching looked good, however, especially Pivetta. Good move leaving Winck in for the 8th.

True--and who knew our rotation would be our best area?

 

The 0 is 0, actually.

[vegasbob]

Shame to lose that one 1-0 . Big question tomorrow will be whether Devers is ok to swing the bat.

[jad]

First place to last place overnight!! What-a-world what-a-world ...

Just a half game from 2nd place!

I think you misspelled “O”….

[jad]

Just a half game from 2nd place!

 

It'll be tough given the Devers situation. I mean he was on pace to hit 162 dingers, and now he's been out half the season with injuries!

Not so. The catcher has by far the best view of the strike zone, and he agreed with the ump's calls. If he had complained to the ump about those called strikes, you would have a case, but he didn't and you don't.

 

I'm fine with human umps and believe, quite strongly, that a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds.

Why would a catcher complain, when the calls are helping his team?

They won't be facing Kirby, so that's a plus.

I believe, Moon, that was sarcasm.
