6/08 The Day with No Game Thread ( Yet)

Bello vs Nasty Nastrini

 

This team needs all its threads. This one is in honor of the Walking Wounded... O'Neill, Whitlock, Giolito, Gruesome Grissom, Casas , Yoshida and all the little people rubbing their sore feet.

 

Blown chances in first two innings, time to rattle the bats and score

[vegasbob]

3 of 4 innings with a leadoff walk, but nothing happening after in terms of run production. Now it is raining so maybe getting a 1-0 lead could have led to a short win. Still could but thanks to Dom Smith's DP Boston is no longer batting.

Hard to get excited about a lineup where Connor Wong bats fifth, and he is the clear best option to do so…

[vegasbob]

Bobby D clears the bases, well would have if he wasn't leading off but he does give the Red Sox the lead at 1-0

[moonslav59]

Bobby Dee to save the day!

[Maxbialystock]

Bobby Dee to save the day!

 

That was also a smart at bat because he was looking for the right pitch to hit. Except the first pitch, which was very hittable.

 

I haven't seen him do anything in RF. So question is, is he actually playing RF?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Bobby Deep.

No shortage of bad chUMPIRES in MLB.

This is what happens when certain jobs guarantee a lifetime of employment.

Bitch about the umpire if you want but another early season Red Sox inning. Hamilton gets to second, no outs, Rafaela swings at pitch in the dirt for strike 3 but catcher has to throw to first while Hamilton goes to 3rd. Then Duran walks, promptly gets picked off and Westbrook takes strike 3 at bottom of the zone after Porter has been calling low pitches strikes all day. That MLB money won't last too long if you don't hit the ball.

True, but the chUMP still sux.

[vegasbob]

And Chump will make you look worse as he does to Bello, now walking two with 2 outs in a game where the rain can come. Should have been a K but not in crime infested Chicago. Runs up his pitch count too

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

This game is now official.

[vegasbob]

Sure enough an infield bouncer ties it up. TheN Bello shows his suckitude which is worse than his attitude. Turns a potential win into a 4 run deficit. Really don't have a lot of respect for Bello's abilities and certainly no maturity on the mound

[a700hitter]

They can’t even beat a horseshit team like the White Sox and a pitcher that can’t throw strikes. Laughable.

[a700hitter]

And I was overly optimistic thinking that we could beat the worst team in baseball with one of our better pitchers.

 

lesson learned. Never bet on this s***** team.

[vegasbob]

Bad News Bello cannot get a 3rd out for his life . All he needed was a simple inning but didn't get a couple marginal calls, then fully imploded.

[vegasbob]

One of my questions is going to be , is there any response by Boston hitters here to get back intot his game. With 12 outs, 4 runs is not too many

[d-money]

My goodness this team is terrible. Hopefully a celtics championship cures another miserable season by this franchise.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Fortunately, the SOX can make some hay while the sun shines against the Phils and the Yankems.

[vegasbob]

I thought the Chicago bullpen was one of the absolute worst . Looking pretty competent last night and today. Maybe the RS bats were too bruised after Thursday slugfest to keep hitting.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Houck and Pivetta and 3 days of bad weatha.

[vegasbob]

Westbrook is living proof that even career long MiLB'ers make enough money to eat well all year long

[vegasbob]

The simple fact that Rafaela leads this team in RBI's discounts the low value of that statistic. He seriously must improve his choice of what to swing at. He gets himself out the majority of the time. Always with 2 strikes, always chasing

[vegasbob]

You can almost sense times when the Red Sox players sort of give up on a game, Usually when down by 3 or more after 5 innings. Low energy effort from there on out

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Mr. Anderson.

[vegasbob]

Westbrook showing why Worcester needs him back. How, if , you are Westbrook do you take 2 called 3rd strikes on 3-2 counts. You are either incapable or stupid in a baseball way.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I'm guessing after the Phils' and Yankems' series the SOX will be back in their comfort zone; last place.

[Duran Is The Man]

f***ing pathetic.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Andrew Bailey should at least be credited with molding Houck into an ACE. The SOX 1st Ace since Sale in 2018. Edited June 8, 2024 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

Went to Target to buy socks. I asked myself do I want terrible socks or mediocre socks? I went with the mediocre ones, but they still could end up terrible.
