No Tony Armas. No senior, no junior, no mas.

 

 

And no reason to have a team in WOO.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The nickname of Pittsburgh is 'Steal City.' I don't remember a Pirates' team that stole that many bases.

I hope you’re joking. That’s not where the name comes from

Just a sad attempt at humor.

Crawford starting to give up the hits.

[d-money]

Crawford starting to lose it. Pirates making him work.

[d-money]

Nice job! Get runs!

Has something to do with the crime rate, I think.

[Maxbialystock]

That was one terrific 5th inning by Crawford. Sure looked like the Pirates had him on the ropes, but then he struck out 2 with the bases freaking loaded.

 

Crawford is vastly underpaid, just as Story is vastly overpaid.

Ridiculous dinger by Yoshida. I've been assured by numerous talksoxers he can't hit anymore and certainly not with any power. Mr. Groundout.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Mass Attack!

That would be Oklahoma City.

No argument from me.

Where would the SOX be w/o the versatile Bobby D on the club? And please don't say 1st place.

 

Casas is out hence Bobby D lives another day.

He should know that non-solo homers, while technically allowed, are strongly discouraged on the 2024 Red Sox.

I'm pretty sure the SOX lead MLB in injuries and solo HR's. I fail to see the connection.

It was just a silly comment. Pittsburgh is not crime-ridden. Nor is Boston. But Baltimore certainly is. So is Memphis.

Bobby D does a have a background as a pitcher.

On the rare occasions that I'm here posting, you can read about 2/3 of my comments as (attempts at) dry humor.

Hey, smartass, the solo homers are helping, especially when the pitching is so doggone good-- like right now against the Pirates.

 

You really want to take back last night's win because of the solo homers?

Pittsburgh was known as the 'Steel City.' Not sure if that's still true.

[Beaneater]

Crawford's WHIP was nothing to write home about, but 6 IP with 1 run is acceptable every day all season long.

Why the aggression? I'm trying to have fun here.

He is critical to be available right now, but it is a statement on the organization that a player like Bobby Dalbec is critical to fielding a team.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Another grand start from a SOX starter. This is approaching TWILIGHT ZONE territory.

Depends, I think, on whether US Steel becomes a Japanese firm.

Rod Serling didn't know squat about America's pastime. But, you're right, the Sox rotation this year--just 21 games--is the best I've ever seen in terms of results.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

What the SOX are totally paying annually for the guys playing today is probably less than what the Yankems are paying annually to Soto. Edited April 20, 2024 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

1. I don't like Dalbec and pretty much never have.

2. But the vibes--or the results, take your pick--from this team right now are awfully good.

3. It starts and darn near ends with the incredible starting pitching, but lately the lineup players, probably because of the magnificent pitching, seem inspired. And just maybe Dalbec is too.

Any word on when Pivetta is due back?
