April 10 Baltimore at Boston

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Speed kills!

[wyo-sox]

Duran our best hitter, lol oh man. He is entertaining for sure- all energy.

[redsoxrules]

Not a good start to the big leagues for Jackson Holiday

[vegasbob]

Duran may have only mid-level, average talent but he does play the game hard. That run was his all the way.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Devers just didn't swing hard enough.

I wonder if he'll be called 'Doc' by his teammates?

[wyo-sox]

Devers looking more and more like a really bad contract. There is WAY too much discrepancy with what players make and how they play in baseball. Some guys making less than a million this year will do more for the team then Devers making like 30 million a year

Why do I have the feeling I'm gonna be dead before the SOX win another championship? OTOH, lots and lots of SOX fans died w/o ever seeing a championship. Ive lived long enough to have seen 4, so I'll stop my complaining right now.

 

Unfortunately, history seems to be repeating itself. The Sox won 5 titles between 1903 and 1918. They would not have a .500 season again until 1934.

 

They haven’t been quite as bad as that since 2018, but still …

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

"That's a HR at Camden Yards." There's some useless information.

They got rid of a pretty good ballplayer. I believe his name was Mookie Ruth.

[wyo-sox]

So happy to see Kutter Crawford pitching good this year- total waste of a perfect baseball name not to become a great pitcher.

I'll take him and his hustle over a more talented player without the hustle any day.

Needing a 2Bman, maybe we should make the O's an offer. How about that wily Yoshida and Reyes for the vastly unproven Holliday ? That's a BOGO deal.

Jarren is the anti-Verdugo.

I thought it was George Herman Betts.

 

But yeah, I forgot about that parallel.

[redsoxrules]

Lol. Players can't bunt anymore

[vegasbob]

Of what possible use is Reyes holding a stick at HP. He is a POS of the first degree. Edited April 11, 2024 by vegasbob

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

One would think that weak batters like Reyes would, at least, know how to bunt. I guess not.

[redsoxrules]

At least it wasn't another double play for Yoshi

[wyo-sox]

Jarren is the anti-Verdugo.

 

Ha well said!

[moonslav59]

Totally shocked that Yoshida grounded out to the right side.

[wyo-sox]

Yoshida and Devers are killing me to watch their AB's

[iortiz]

At the first two attempts you could see from miles that bunting was the moon for this bum.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice piece of hitting there by Wong.

[moonslav59]

Everybody Wong-Chang, tonight!

[vegasbob]

Sometimes just putting the ball in play and hitting balls where they ain't is enough to get results. Nice 2 out, 2 rbi groundball hit from Wong.

Jarren is the anti-Verdugo.

 

It's looking like 2023 was not a fluke.

[illinoisredsox]

The two catchers did pretty well at it last year when they were called on to do it. But overall you’re right.

 

This is where they need to do it in the minors. Since every one of them was the best player on their amateur teams, they werent going to learn growing up.

There's no excuse for a player like Reyes not perfecting how to bunt. The hitting coach should make it a priority to teach glove and no bat players to bunt.
