Braves (Sale) vs Red Sox (Crochet): 5/16/25, 7:10pm

[FredLynn]

Wasting more opportunities…can’t do that

[FredLynn]

Dumb move sending Devers. He’s as slow as molasses. 
Cora should be fired right after this game. 

[vegasbob]

These guys are little league goofballs to the max.    

Bregman, that was a very tough pitch but it was a strike. Sit down.

Devers, not sure if that was a play to help Duran steal home, but you in a rundown is similar to a pig in a poke.

Crap like this does reflect in some way on the manager and coaches.  The case is building

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

It was a trick play: "Raffy, run three-quarters of the way to second and stop, so you can get tagged out before Duran scores... with our clean-up batter in the box (because we really don't have anyone who can clean up)."

Nice save by Sogard.

Since Duran never got off the base at all, I’m guessing Devers went in his own.

Might have been worth the attempt had Sale gotten to 2 strikes on Refsnyder, but not on the first pitch.

[vegasbob]

Speaking of pigs, Story almost butchers another throw to first with plenty of time. Saved by Sogard

Either that or Duran missed the double steal sign

Since Duran would have seen Devers was a dead duck, to continue the Animal farm references,  he should have broke for home even if late because it would take a good throw to get him .   I did not see if he went .

He was headed back to 3B

Just more boneheaded baseball 

Cant win that way

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The most impressive thing, IMHO, the Sox offense has done so far this season was scoring 5 runs off of Skubal.

[vegasbob]

Story, in addition to his other skills, really knows how to make a pitcher work. First pitch from Sale , beat it into the ground and get thrown out.

Another strong candidate for a trade in July if any team needs a SS/2B

[vegasbob]

I'm only getting a lot of constructiuve criticism in early because my wife insists we go out tonight , after 45 red Sox games, she may have a point.  

Campbell , predictably, has a ways to go to be a MLB hitter. Understandable , but similar concerns for Mayer/Anthony when they get called.  Might be a year of patience clearly seen in Mid-May.

[d-money]

This team blows. Just going through the motions. Sick of cora .

Nobody’s gonna take his contract. He’s useless.

[FredLynn]

Rafaela is also useless with a bat in his hands. Just another version of JBJ. 
This isn’t a fun team to watch at all. 

[FredLynn]

Duran with more unwatchable baseball getting picked off down two runs 

This is a disgusting team. 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That's now referred to as the Abreu maneuver.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Crochet must feel like he's still pitching for the White Sox.

[FredLynn]

One more run (or less) for Atlanta and it’s over.

Winning run on 1B now

[FredLynn]

Winning run on 2B now

Almost over now

[FredLynn]

Bregman joins the circus baseball.

The Flops simply aren’t focused and that’s on the manager. 

[FredLynn]

Not quite over yet!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Another impressive start by Crochet.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

At least dead contract Sale won't leave the game scoreless.

[FredLynn]

More circus baseball. So hard stops then decides to try for 2B and is out by a mile. 
These buffoons are unwatchable.

Im outta here

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Sale wins a Cy Young last season while his salary was paid by the Sox. Hilarious.

But the Sox did get Grissom, who's a well kept secret .

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nothing productive about that out. Don't lose your glove or your arm.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

OB trying to convince himself that the Sox have a good offense.
