7/22 @ Coors Banquet

[Maxbialystock]

Pretty gutsy game by Houck. Horrible 3d, but 5 other scoreless innings. No lineup subs by Cora so far.

[Duran Is The Man]

My bad. I should have just posted that Devers is batting .218 against LH's. It's probably down to .217 now.

 

i didn't realize he did so poorly against lefties. but he is leading the team against righties with a .325 BA.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Missed call by chUMP ends up a run.

[vegasbob]

Wink gets robbed on strike 3 and then gives up the 2 out 2-2 run scoring double. Now well over 20 pitches . He has the serious issue of inability to throw a shutdown pitch. Low velocity, FB up in the zone, not much horizontal or vertical movement. Does exactly enough to get the team in a deficit.

[vegasbob]

Needed to get that 5th and now 6th run . Might be a challenge

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Great to see Cora go after the chUMP after that bad call. I'm kidding of course.

[vegasbob]

Wong f***s Beeks. Sounds funny but once a Boston pitcher, always a Boston pitcher, Jalen

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Long Gone Wong!

[vegasbob]

The home field advantage. Rockies have 6 total outs to get a run, Sox have 3 left in regulation. Going to need a 9th inning HR by the boys

[d-money]

They just can’t get a lead over this team.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Note to Devers:

 

The thin air only affects balls hit in the air.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Damn, I miss the days of Manny and Ortiz.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

This team can't bunt, but they've got hitting into DP's perfected.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It's time for ghost runners in the sky. A fan favorite around here. Yippee I oh, yippee I ay. Edited July 23, 2024 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

Dom!

[vegasbob]

Dom Smith with a huge PH. Raffy gets PR Abreu home with sac fly. Now just a shutdown 10th wins it.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

You get to see everything in a SOX game.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Deja Vu all over again. You can't write this shite.

[vegasbob]

Dodgers game all the f*** over again. Cannot get 3 outs without a HR and Wong's drive to the deepest part of the park is just short by 2 '

[vegasbob]

Bullpen ERA since the A-S break is too much to calculate

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Deja Vu all over again. You can't write this shite.

 

And here I thought The Natural was unbelievable.

[notin]

Can the Sox go an extra inning without giving up a run?

[vegasbob]

Can the Sox go an extra inning without giving up a run?

 

Apparently , that would be a challenge with a difficulty level of 10

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Can the Sox go an extra inning without giving up a run?

 

At least the balk didn't hurt him.

[vegasbob]

The losing W-L records in previous year "second" halves should be unrelated from one to the next , but clearly something happens to this team over the break that causes them to lose the ability to close things out.

[vegasbob]

McGuire has outlived his usefulness. OPS below .600. He should have bunted the 3-0 pitch, Rockies were back in standard positions. Starting to smell bad here

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Overachieving is hard to sustain over a 162 game schedule.

[vegasbob]

Weissert has become the surrender option for Cora

[FredLynn]

Dom Smith with a huge PH. Raffy gets PR Abreu home with sac fly. Now just a shutdown 10th wins it.

 

Fat chance

This team can’t afford to lose games to bad teams like this

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Game saving play by Rafaela. At least for now.
