FU Weissert

This guy has the same deer-in-the-headlights look Rod Beck and Manny Delcarmen had.

[d-money]

Better get those bats going.

He is our 3rd or 4th best RP'er out of 8.

I'd care.

You want Hicks?

 

[Duran Is The Man]

should have left Tolle in. FU Wissert.

[moonslav59]

I thought they'd take Tolle out after 5. I think he was at 69 or 70 pitches, which is what they were giving him in the minors.

Maybe I'd want Buehler

[mvp 78]

Wet fart of a 6th

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Skenes on the Pirates is like a diamond on a pile of s**t.

Shouldn’t have come out for the inning

You've already mentioned that a couple of times. 

[d-money]

9 out remaining. Need some magic.

I’ll mention it again. Another mistake by Cora.

[iortiz]

Weissert shouldn’t pitch in high leverage situations. Never liked him. 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hopefully, the anticipation of Slaten won't be better than the actual arrival.

Need two more at bats by Anthony.

[d-money]

This could be the game here.

[iortiz]

Offense has to show up on this one. It’s their time. They can’t relay always in pitching.

Wasted this

Bregman is hitting into a lot of DPs lately 

Anthony just tied him at .888 for best Sox OPS.  This is his 7th or 8th bad game in a row,.

Yeah, but the Yankees couldn’t get him out. That counts.

No, I don't want Hicks.  But I do want Weissert to do better than that against the worst hitting team in MLB.  

 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Having players do what they can't do is bad managing. Cora checks so many boxes.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Can the Sox reach 3 runs tonight? Stay tuned.

What’s on Cora is not making sure they CAN do things like bunt. 

[iortiz]

This was a dumb call by Cora. I relay more in a SB by Rafaela than bunt by Wong who has been hitting the ball well recently. Then comes the 2P hence a wasted inning. 

Those are the little big mistakes and intangibles that are taxing us.

Actually, I'm a little surprised they got 2 against Skenes. The Sox did get 7 hits, which ties the most hits Skenes has given up this season. So congrats to that.

He's been terrific this season--at bat, in the field, and talking to other players after the games.  

But facts are facts.  I think he might be tired, but whatever the reason, this I hope mild slump is in its 7th straight game.

Oh, stop

[FredLynn]

Gonna lose this one

Pretty pathetic 

[iortiz]

Seems like Cora just threw this one away by sending Hicks. 

[d-money]

Offrnse not getting it done .
