3/30 @ Seattle

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Timely hitting would be nice, but it's still early.

 

At least, that's what I'm telling myself.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Not many here tonight and it's only game 3.

[moonslav59]

Dalbec has a higher ceiling

 

Just cause he's taller.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hey, Moon, smart minds think a lot, but I already posted that. I didn't copyright it, so you're safe from a lawsuit.

Crawford has looked good. Reyes should’ve eaten that ball in the 1st.

I know it's early, but the expected weakness on this team has actually been the strength.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Seattle does have 3 pretty damn good starters. Any one of those 3 would be the SOX #1.

Kutter Crawford still has not surrendered an earned run in 16 career innings at T-Mobile Park. Edited March 31, 2024 by harmony

Kutter's delivery makes me believe he would be pretty good at darts.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Kutter Crawford still has not surrendered an earned run in 15+ career innings at T-Mobile Park.

 

Okay, the SOX will trade him to Seattle for Julio.

[moonslav59]

Haniger always scares the beJesus out of me.

[a700hitter]

Without Devers, the offense is hopeless. They are making Gilbert look like Drysdale to Kirby’s Koufax.

[vegasbob]

Incredible red Sox pitching , but without Devers, no hitter is much of a threat so far. Extremely small sample size but offense is the current issue. Can't use speed if you don't get on. As many have said, you can't steal first, but you can walk if very deliberate on waiting for strikes. Then the umps f*** you over

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Haniger always scares the beJesus out of me.

 

 

BeJesus is a term attributed to the Irish.

W/O Devers the SOX offense won't scare the beJesus out of anyone.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

An excellent starting job by Kutter tonight. The SOX may want their pitchers to bat.

[vegasbob]

Going to WAR with Abreu, Rafaela, Valdez and Reyes consecutively in the lineup is a AAAA mix at best. Surely Devers could PH if needed. Cannot waste this kind of pitching with no support.

Well, Seattle's offense hasn't been anything to write home about and their best hitter is playing.

Wong's recognition of the strike zone leaves much to be desired

Our pitching is so superior to any efforts to hit it, no team should score on the Breslow-Bailey trained hurlers.

I think we're gonna have to pray for wild pitches or balks when there's a SOX runner at 3rd. In 2018, the SOX took advantage of a ton of those.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Martin just gave up his 2nd hit of the season. Almost as many as he gave up all last year.

[vegasbob]

Watching Martin pitch is a real pleasure. In command, work the hitter and put them away.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Martin's a stud.

[vegasbob]

Always wondered why catchers were not generally better hitters only because they see so many pitches out of the thrower's hand. You would think pitch recognition would be the least of their problems.

Bailey did have a very good reputation when he was the Giants' pitching coach.

They usually make good managers.

Don't lose your glove, Trevor.

If Story was the size of a midget, he’d be a spitting image of Pedrioa with that beard. I swear I have to double take sometimes.

Berra had no pitch recognition. If he could reach the pitch with his bat, he would hit it.
