  1. Here's a good thing: Sale is not getting cheated by the umpire.
  2. Chang and Kike raking at a combined .081. Bradley throwing a no-hitter through 3 with 55% K's. Like SS says, look at the oppo. Perhaps a really bad roster and lineup. Maybe the Rays have found and DEVELOPED another starting pitcher
  3. Sale reminding me of 3-4 years, maybe more, of Sox starters having no clue in 1st inning, getting behind and then finding the rubber beginning in the 2nd. Questioned the mental and physical warmup in Boston the last few years.
  4. I wonder what % of Fenway capacity is presold/prepaid season or mini-season tickets. I suspect JH & Co. have no incentive to lower prices.
  5. Bradley messes up Tapia and Dalbec quickly after getting Casas on a foul pop down the line. Maybe used 10 pitches. Did Sale get to sit down on his raw ass before he's back out?
  6. 31 pitches and a trip through 8 batters ? I am so tired of reading the same quote after many of these games...." We just have to do better".. No s*** guys. Many complaints here about O'B and Youk as broadcasters but how would you create a good spin putting lipstick on this pig ?
  7. On the positive side, Dugo makes a nice play in foul territory to give Chris Sale some help
  8. A boot at Ss, a walk, then a 3 run bomb. Sale should watch Bradley.
  9. Dalbec perfect on defense @SS until the second batter
  10. Devers and Turner make a first time rookie look pretty good. Our Dynamic Duo slumping
  11. Great find on the probability chart. We'll get to see Dalbec with 12-14 assists and no errors, plus a DP started . Now , the Rays tend to hit flyballs that go over the wall and Sale does give those up , so maybe not.
  12. The right answer should be 3-4 years after beginning play within the system, not later than age 25 for a debut at the MLB level. Otherwise your chances of being a MLB regular contributor start falling off the cliff of woulda, coulda, shoulda
  13. That final AB (now 0-27) by Kike should go into the HoF for swinging at a pitch high/inside that the rays catcher doesn't come close to handling . Kike then stands there like the numbnut he is, not realizing the ball rolls to the backstop. The catcher still has time to retrieve the ball and throw to 1st to get Hernandez by 10'. A real candidate for worst effort by a $10MM player.
  14. yeah, why play McGuire over Wong ? Is McGuire's defense that bad ? Wong cannot hit at all. Mcguire gets 2 in 2 ABs against the world champion Rays
  15. At least Tapia showing some hustle and smarts as he hits for Arroyo and slides into first to avoid the tag
  16. I would go a step further out on the limb and say the roster construction is the beginning of the problem and then Cora , maybe with some analytic advice, has organized them into a mess of a lineup. The players themselves have responded with no production to speak of from about 6-7 of them.
  17. When you suck, it only gets worse as the nerves become more raw with each cheap run you allow
  18. Ort at the Trop Dome !!! A made for Netflix limited series. The Sox still need to get a minimum of 5 more outs because there are no 10 run rules in MLB baseball
  19. Casas looks like a big leaguer , just doesn't play that way yet. He does have the potential of , oh say, Middlebrooks, Swihart, Lavarnway, Castillo, and others who looked pretty good in a uniform fitting session. Casas will make us all forget those guys
  20. That will be when it's no longer "early"
  21. The King of the Pops chart strikes again !!
  22. Yoshi has trouble hitting anything but bouncers.
  23. That was an issue last year also. We have some 2 out pitchers who cannot get the 3rd. At the end of the 5th, Whitlock had nothing left .
  24. Somehow, without genius Bloom, and without big bucks, TB Rays, once again have a very strong team on a big time roll. Some other team will eventually beat them
  25. Was thinking for a minute that Whitlock was pitching ok, given his first start, getting into the 5th, but the HRs are intolerable
