7/11 vs A's

[mvp 78]

Houck vs Medina

 

Medina: RHP, 1.54 WHIP, k% in bottom 10th percentile, good slider, a lot of hard contact, a lot of walks.

 

Houck's last two starts weren't great. Has an opportunity to turn it around.

There are no sure things in baseball, but this game is about as close to it as you going to get.

[Tedballgame]

I think the Sox should trade Grissom for Sale. That would give them a number 1 starter.

Said 90% of bettors!

[Tedballgame]

Now that I have thought about it, no GM would be dumb enough to trade Sale for Grissom so Atlanta won't do it. Oh wait......

People saying that are the ones who built Vegas and keep it making billions today.

Masa prevents another bases loaded embarrassment.

Exactly. Medina held the O’s to 1 run over 5 innings in his last start and only gave up I run in 6 innings against Arizona the time before that. He’s either been very good or very bad.

Wong gone and hard to find.

Funky Cold Medina--Tone loc

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

A gem by Rafaela.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It appears Abreu's got his groove back.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Willy Mo Pena hit a HR at Fenway that was smashed so hard it hit a bench in the monster seats and bounced back on the field near the SS.

[Dipre]

Wily Mo was never the same after he broke his hamate bone.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The 'red seat' is 502 ft from HP. In 2021 at Fenway Miguel Sano hit a ball in the same area 495 feet. At the time he stated that he thought his HR was farther than the 'red seat.'

Btw, the seat was painted red in 1986.

[Old Red]

GOshida!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Mass Attack! He's been a pretty good DH of late.

[Dipre]

Yoshida-san dedicates that homerun to his biggest fans, Bellhorn04 and Old Red.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

An excellent CF'r and a very good SS. That's usually two different players.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Mr Anderson.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The A's have a winning % of .372. So winning 2 of 3 is not disappointing.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Only the A's as a team have K'd more than the SOX.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Masa is definitely the best contact hitter on this team and it's starting to pay off.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The A's have hit 111 HR's to the SOX 109. Edited July 12, 2024 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER
