After two gut wrenching losses to the Dodgers, can the Sox salvage the finale? These next four games will go a long way towards determining whether the Sox will be buyers or sellers at the deadline. They cannot win anything with the bullpen they have now.

[vegasbob]

I'll be looking to see what Romy G. does in the leadoff spot. He has not looked real good in his last 7, going 1 for 15 with 6 K's and 0 walks.

 

Kutter will need another very good start to give this lineup a chance. Westbrook at 2nd tells you all you need to know

 

Maybe O'Neill is on a streak, maybe Devers needs to get his going again. He can carry them to a win if he's right

 

To say that today's game will be very important to this team is Capt Obvious.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The 2-man offense known as the Yankems lost 2 of 3 against Tampa, so the SOX right now are only 2 games behind them in the loss column. BTW, the Yankems' BP is nothing to write home about.

[moonslav59]

Lets hope Paxton doesn't bite or ass like Kike did.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Watched Stroman pitch for the Yankems today and couldn't help noticing his similarities to Bello. I guess if Bello ceilinged out to a Marcus Stroman, that wouldn't be too bad.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Lets hope Paxton doesn't bite or ass like Kike did.

 

He's LH'd, he's already bitten our ass.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

3 ways to a sure win:

 

1)Kutter goes 7.

2)O'Neill stays hot

3)Devers contributes on offense

[moonslav59]

He's LH'd, he's already bitten our ass.

 

I think we score 4-5 or more runs, tonight.

 

Crawford needs to bring his A game after a long rest.

Teddy Ballgame preached about bat speed back in the '40's. That's why Teddy swung a 31oz bat.

[vegasbob]

Managerial tip for Boston: You could lose the game in the first 6 innings but you cannot win it unless you are ahead when the 27th out is recorded.

Love Teddy Ballgame. My Dad loved Ted Williams and named me after him which made me a Red Sox fan for life even though I grew up the the Midwest.

[vegasbob]

So Romy jumped paxton for a double and MVP Duran took him downtown for a quick lead. Omen for a great game ?? Sure hope so.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I hate it when Freeman continues to prove he's the best LH hitter in MLB.

My father's name was Ted, but he wasn't a baseball fan. But Teddy Ballgame is the reason I'm a SOX fan.

[bmattioli]

Dodgers are relentless can't wait to get out of here..

[vegasbob]

Memo posted in Sox pitcher's lockers: 1. It takes 3 strikes to get a K ; 2. Do not give Freeman a meatball. 3. It takes 3 outs to get back to the dugout, not 2.

[Tedballgame]

Crawford doesn't have it so far. Sox could get swept out of L.A. Have to show some toughness.

[FredLynn]

Well that didn’t last long, did it. This team is sinking down to where they rightfully belong.

At the bottom.

[vegasbob]

It is never over nor easy with these guys

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Duran making a big case to be the face of the SOX.

Dodgers are not a 3-7 team coming into this series. They are a very good team that will get better as their injured pitchers return.

[vegasbob]

Leaving the runner on 3rd with less than 2 outs, SMH. The next hitter invariably K's and the last hitter makes contact that would have scored the run

[d-money]

This team is playing losing baseball. The dodgers are a good team but not unbeatable. Judy lousy execution in this series.

[vegasbob]

Duran making a big case to be the face of the SOX.

 

We should trade him while his stock is high . We have plenty of faces hanging around

And Betts.

I am not buying the dodgers. You will see them choke again. Who are they getting back pitching wise?

They may trade for Crochet and Skubal.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

More bad news:

 

After Roberts removes this rag arm, he'll have his LH relievers available that he used in the 1st game.

[FredLynn]

Dom Smith?

3-2 we are already losing.

Anyone else get that sinking feeling?
