Hope the 4th of July includes some Red Sox fireworks !! Looking to extend the 3 game win streak against a really good Ranger team (50-35) leading the AL West by 3 over the Astros , after Monday's 12-11 loss . Sox have 6 at home ( 3 w/TX; 3w/A's) before the reset of the All-Star break. Need to go 4-2 minimum . The Red Sox starter is TBD as of Monday while Cora and Bloom commiserate over a cold beer. If Bello is going Wednesday and Paxton is having a baby, who is left in the shredded rotation ? Call it a BP game or will a WooSoxer get an MLB appearance plus a day's pay? Texas will start Dane Dunning (RH) sporting a 7-1 record with a 2.69 ERA /1.10 WHIP. But he is not a strikeout artist with 51 in 80 innings, good news for a few in our typical lineup. Dunning came out of the TX bullpen having worked 8 games there before being inserted into the rotation . -
Yes, you could call it Bloom's Last Stand or Bloom's Revenge . It would feature comments on why Devers was traded for Bogaert's return from SD.
-
Yes, much agreed. That one had all the earmarks of many earlier losses that were lost late or the result of missed opportunities.
-
After starting a 3 game win streak, I'm getting a pass on disdaining Kike .
-
Incredible series sweep and utter dominance of the dead BJ's . Does this mean I need to start the next game thread too ?
-
Hope Jacques got the memo on 3 outs in the inning
-
The LH swinger is on a trajectory towards 1B so it's a graceful continuation move. The RH hitter has to stop his entire momentum and reverse direction of his hips/legs/torso
-
Your boy is asleep today, Dip
-
Congrats to Dugo for enabling the sweep, but get one more please, maybe 2 or 3. Is Kenley on the agenda ?
-
I trust that you have ever heard the phrase " compare and contrast" . I contrasted Casas still developing potential as a "100 OPS+" ballplayer to Kike's 0% possibility of ever being my fav Red Sox. There is no comparison.
-
Duran now needs to steal 2nd and 3rd, then score on a wild pitch
-
Every time you think Casas is ready to break out, he reminds you he is average . OTOH , Kike is flat useless
-
Justin Time Turner is not average in any way . A gamer as they say
-
As mentioned elsewhere on Talksox, this team is the definition of averageness, middle of the road, compromising , not exceptional, etc. However, I draw the line at mediocre. To me that would be below average. Revert to the mean or perish
-
Kike ( KKK), where is my prize
-
Then Cora's starter goes out after 1.
-
if Duvall is sick , as mentioned , then Cora is managing this one with a very short bench . Caleb Hamilton and sore Yoshida are all there is ?
-
f*** Kike and his 3 K's today. He is helpless
-
Sox will be at home next week. Paxton and wife presumably live in Boston area, unless she went home to Momma. Paxton can take 4 hours out to throw a 2 hitter and get back to the hospital .
-
Looking forward to July 2024 when Bloom ( or his successor) can trade Sale to a NL wanna be contender looking for quick help. Sox can pay off his salary. Of course, that would require Chris Sale to be physically capable.
-
Double D yet again
-
Ort was testing his luck the other day and doesn't have it now
-
Double D Duran strikes again but not out !
-
Notin, "You don't have to worry about seeing Whitlock no more"----a bad takeoff on Peter Clemenza explaining Paulie's absence. I think Bloom traded him after the HR, lol
-
Whitlock is another of those 2 outs don't make an inning pitchers
