5/2 Red Sox vs SF Giants Getaway Day and a Sweep Possibility

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

This chUMP is definitely not a pitcher's chUMP, but, at least, he's consistent.

[mvp 78]

Devers has been out of control since coming back from his injury.

 

Excluding today: 1217 OPS, 241 wRC+

[mvp 78]

If O'Neilll doesn't HR today, it'll be his longest homerless streak since joining the Sox: 4 games.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The Giants' catcher must be completely surprised when the thrower on the mound actually hits the target.

This Harrison guy perfectly exemplifies the difference between pitching and throwing.

One thing one can't take away from Bobby D is his ability to catch high or wide throws to 1st base.

[d-money]

This offense blows today.

[d-money]

It seems like we can never get the sweep.

[d-money]

Here we go.

Cue the nattering nabobs of negativism who haven’t been seen in a few days. Edited May 2, 2024 by illinoisredsox

I want the sweep.

[d-money]

Is this the only guy available right now? Game is about to get away from them.

[d-money]

If they can just get out of this.

[d-money]

That f***ing sucked. Gonna need magic from this offense.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Not a good day for our two Zacks.

[moonslav59]

Just Three runs allowed should be enough to win at Fenway.

Have you seen this offense? Rafaela and Short hitting 8th and 9th.

[moonslav59]

Woulda been nice to sweep.

The bats went to sleep.

Don’t forget Bobby D.

[Old Red]

Let’s go B’s tonight!

[d-money]

Just pitiful offense. Oh well. At least they won the series .

i tried to stay silent as I lay on the cardiologist's table and not let false rallies get me too hyped up. Sure enough we take a loss in the last game but 4-2 at home is OK ..

Did you get the echocardiogram? That's a lot more amusing than some of the things they do in the doc's office. I hope it's nothing serious.

Those damn opposing pitchers.

Those damn opposing pitchers.

 

In this case, I think our bats missed more good pitches to hit, or we swung at clear non strikes, but yes, their pitching got the job done.

 

How about the fact that 30 of our 32 starts and openers have been decent to great? (Only 2 bad ones!)

Yeah, it's been an incredible run by the starting pitching, including by most of the "openers".

 

May it continue.

Would have been 31 out of 32 if McGuire had just been able to squeeze that foul tip off the bat of Jose Ramirez…

There's always someone who has to be greedy...

[vegasbob]

May a worthy person on Talksox get a new streak started against the suddenly terrifying Twinkies

[mvp 78]

Max and moon haven't gone in a while.

OK.
