Hope you bring some good luck, Max!

The Commissioner's office has just authorized me to make the following shocking announcement. Who starts the game thread has absolutely nothing to do with the outcome of the game. I know that is hard to believe , but it comes straight from the top.

Pitiful offense tonight. Not much.

[d-money]

Was waiting on Pivetta to give up runs.

No s***.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The SOX are blessed with 2 #5's with Pivettaboutit and Bello.

[d-money]

What an implosion by Pivetta.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

At least Pivetta is consistent. He will always be a pitcher with a 4+ ERA. Surprisingly, his WHIP before tonight's game was at 1.114. Not anymore.

Because there's 30 teams in MLB, I'll move Pivetta up to a number 4.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The SOX had two things going against them tonight. 1) opening game of a series, and 2) Pivetta.

[Duran Is The Man]

another shitshow by Pivetta.

[d-money]

Yup this team should stop from giving us false hope.

Three: they are the Sox is #3. This one is pretty much over already. I predict that this is the beginning of the team finding its rightful place in THE CELLAR again.

[d-money]

What a f***ing implosion.

[FredLynn]

What a f***ing implosion.

 

I would have left Pivetta out there until his arm fell off.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

No way the SOX stay in contention with this current rotation.

[illinoisredsox]

I see the usual suspects showed up as soon as the Sox fell behind. I’m sure they contributed their usual nothing.

 

Splendid, you are not on this list; you are here thick or thin.

I tune in when I have the time and the inclination whether they are winning or losing. If they are playing like crap and not worth watching I leave. And I feel free to comment on them either way. Hope you have no problem with that.

What a relief!

 

However, I think I'll back off of starting game threads for awhile. I've also been talking up the rotation a lot, as well as the bullpen. So maybe less of that too. Defense: nope, can't talk about that.

You are of course entitled to say almost anything within some pretty wide boundaries. That said, I can't remember you ever contributing anything positive about the Sox. But of course I'm 2 years older than the guy who lost the debate last night.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Based on the Padres' 44-41 record with an offense that averages almost 5 runs/game, their pitching must be pretty lame. Edited June 29, 2024 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

We sure have run into a buzz saw.

 

Gotta stop the bleeding!

It seems like the Brez, and Bailey magic show with the pitching staff has started to go bad. BBB (BIG BABY Bello), and Pivetta have really had some short stinkeroos lately. BP over load anyone? Maybe the ones who bought in, and bought season passes to see the Brez, and Bailey show should have held off awhile. It might not be as good as first thought.🤭🙈
