Marlins (Alcantara) vs Red Sox (Giolito): 8/15/25, 7:10pm

[vegasbob]

Sox pitchers. perhaps other than Crochet. who get 0-2 or 1-2 counts rarely put the next pitch in a location mostly unhittable but close enough to get strike 3 chasing.

Sox hitters could teach their pitchers something there

Anthony is a sucker for a breaking ball low and inside.  

[FredLynn]

Rafaela should be in CF permanently. No more 2B.

[Maxbialystock]

Rafaela takes better routes than Duran.  Thank goodness.  

Marlins are hitting Giolito hard.  

[Maxbialystock]

After 2, Giolito vastly outpitched, but the score is still 0-0.  

[FredLynn]

Abreu badly misplayed that double 

[FredLynn]

Giolito is getting hammered. He won’t even last six innings at this rate.

[Maxbialystock]

Marlins back to back doubles, 1-0.  

If there is in fact a good Giolito, he needs to show up soon. 

[vegasbob]

Gio's mechanics this inning going bad. getting racked on his change up

I thought so too.  

[vegasbob]

Gio can't give up a 2 out hit here and does not limiting the double damage

 

Sox hitters remain uninterested in the game so far

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Double double toil and trouble.

He took two steps IN as his first reaction 

[vegasbob]

Only a confirmed Sox batter. like Toro. will try to pull a low outside pitch. Bouncer to 1Bman

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Bring Me The Head of Wally Garcia.

[FredLynn]

Rafaela OPS at .736, pretty much where I thought he’d end up. .720-.740

[vegasbob]

Sox 1-9 say call me after 6th. No need to run now

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Instead of all the fancy drawings on the bats, the Sox should have put some fancy cork inside the bats.

[vegasbob]

Gio with 58 through 4 shows he can last 6-7 tonight.

But the overrated offense needs to wake up.  Please don't start quoting Run Differential 

[vegasbob]

Is Anthony awake ?

[FredLynn]

Anthony has looked like crap tonight 

[CanadianRedSoxFan]

Anthony plus 8 others

[CanadianRedSoxFan]

I smell a no hitter

Most everything positive about the Sox offensive stats rests heavily on their 19 games of 10 runs or more.

Yes it would be much more meaningful to see the median runs scored, not average.  I'm sure our stat guys have that.

For the remaining games the Sox didn't score in double digits their average runs per game is 3.5.

[vegasbob]

Gio with a quick recovery from the 2 out walk with nice pick by Bregman.

AC was calling the pen as he shifts to playoff mode

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Abreu's kids are safe.

That fact is much more the reality of this team and why they seem inconsistent

The K monster shows up as soon as Story becomes the sole runner of the night.
