Maybe Abreu can amount to something. He sure is having a good series.

[Jasonbay44]

Abreu is really starting to swing a good bat

Abreu is really starting to swing a good bat

 

And playing pretty good defense.

[Jasonbay44]

This umpire is dog s***. He’s missed like 15 calls in not even 3 innings

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

MLB has an unlimited supply of s***** chUMPS.

[vegasbob]

Dalbec is not a good enough batter that the umpire needs to f*** him over too

Leslie Nielsen is rolling around in his grave.

Bobby D was 0-33 going back to last year before his double Friday.

Earlier this week you posted that you are a Pirates season ticket holder and you didn't know who you were going to be rooting for, the Pirates or the Sox. No true Red Sox fan would ever say that, so no, you get no credit.

 

I’m gen Z. We don’t like to follow your lame rules of what counts as being a “true Red Sox fan”

Giving Abreu some playing time sure seems to have worked out well.

He’s always seemed to have that issue; even back when he had his good 1/2 season, BD had a lot of borderline pitches go against him. It’s not like he complains constantly.

 

Like you said, he’ll K enough on his own. He doesn’t need help.

 

He really ought to consider getting aggressive on the first pitch. Pitchers are just throwing it down the middle because he takes it 95% of the time.

The SOX roster is so thin, the batters can't even risk arguing a call against these f'ing chUMPS.

I was reading a stat a few days ago on Twitter that for whatever reason, a lot of the bigger guys tend to have more pitches out the zone go against them, Judge, Casas, Stanton, and O’Neil Cruz were some of the examples used. I understand high and low being more difficult with taller guys, but the outside strikes are pretty inexcusable

I'll define it for you then: A true Red Sox fan always roots for the Red Sox no matter who they are playing.

[Jasonbay44]

Holy s*** I’m so tired of this umpire calling pitches out of the zone strikes on Sox hitters and calling the same pitches Balls for the Pirates

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

A lot of posts relating to how bad this SOX team is, when the real question s/b how bad are the Pirates?

Are they ever not bad?

[Tedballgame]

Ceddane has to swing at that!

[Tedballgame]

I thought the Red Sox lineup was bad but take a look at today's White Sox lineup. One guy hitting .245, one hitting .200, 6 hitting .1 something and one hitting .056. Wow. Horrific.

[Jasonbay44]

Duran has been putting together some solid AB vs LHP this year.

To be fair, we have a guy hitting worse than .056

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Triolo is probably the Pirates' best everyday player.

That’s quite false

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Not lately. The SOX, otoh, since 2012 have been either very good or very bad. Nothing in between.

[Jasonbay44]

What did I just watch?

[Jasonbay44]

Triolo is probably the Pirates' best everyday player.

 

I think it’s Reynolds, but that guy can field really well.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That’s quite false

 

Whether it is or not, this Pirates' team is nothing to write home about.
