April 10 Baltimore at Boston

[vegasbob]

Crawford having trouble with 5th innings, both in Anaheim ( no defense either) and tonight. Needs a DP grounder in the worst way right now

[illinoisredsox]

Nice play by Gonzalez to save a run there.

[redsoxrules]

Thanks ump! That 3-0 pitch was a ball

In a very limited time, he is showing his MiLB ability to field and throw.

 

Kutter is likely done, I think he may have jammed his foot slightly getting the out at 1B. Casas's toss didn't help.

All 3-0 pitches are strikes !!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

26 pitches that inning. Hello BP.

The SOX were due for another injury. Let's HOPE it's not serious. Damn these guys are fragile.

[vegasbob]

Kutter certainly went sideways there , but prevented a big hit and pitched out of 3-0 bases loaded. Love for him to get the win here, but like Winkowski, he has an issue with having no power pitch. All breaking balls.

 

That said, he was up against a heavily LH hitting O's lineup. He has done enough to win tonight.

Nice!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That would be a HR nowhere but Fenway, so it's good the SOX are playing at Fenway.

[vegasbob]

Great when our Lh'ers go the oppo way and use the wall as a backboard or nominal barrier to fly over. Good for Casas, and with Devers actually on base too.

 

Very winnable game, but 12 outs to get.

[jad]

When did Devers change his set-up? Has he been doing this all year?

[moonslav59]

Nice D Tyler!

[Tedballgame]

Get this clown out of the game.

[moonslav59]

Nice D Tyler!

 

...and it rubbed off on Duran.

[vegasbob]

Outfield groundball practice tomorrow at 5PM. Be there

[Tedballgame]

Come on Cora

[Tedballgame]

He's got nothing.

[moonslav59]

Get this clown out of the game.

 

Just like that, the O's are back in it.

[Tedballgame]

Comfortable lead is going to be blown by clown reliever.

[moonslav59]

Come on Cora

 

Just started warming up someone.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Get this clown out of the game.

 

This is what can happen when the starters, for the most part, can't go more than 5. Keep going to the well and the well runs dry.

[Tedballgame]

Is there no one else in the pen?

[Tedballgame]

DO NOT bring him back for the 7th. Every pitch was a slider.

[jgar658]

Who is this guy throwing fat pitches?

Every ball hit over 100 MPH

[vegasbob]

Go to your bullpen every day after just 5 innings and things will happen that are not so positive. Campbell threw nothing but sliders , giving up 3 runs ? The Of'ers kept the runners on 2nd/3rd from where it is easier to score.

If MLB games were 7 innings long, the SOX would have the best starting staff in the league. Unfortunately for us, games are still 9 innings.

[vegasbob]

Yoshida does get a single which will look like a line drive in the box score but was actually another of his patented rollover grounders through the 1B/2B gap. Holliday was probably too far to his right, not knowing Yoshi's tendencies

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The SOX have Martin and Kenley to cover the 8th and 9th, so the 7th s/b interesting.

Fielders get placed by the coach based on analytics with their cue cards. Baseball isn't what it used to be. With the analytics it has taken out the human elements of the game
