  1. See if the boys can force the tying run from 2nd to 3rd with less than two outs. At least that gives two chances at keeping it going. I only say that because obviously a home run is out of the question
  2. Forget that the pitching through 9 innings held the Jays to 2 runs. How many LOBs did the failure to hit leave out there when the game was easily winnable. I will put as much of the failure of this team on the majority of the position players who could not hit when needed, sometimes not even making contact , much less a hit.
  3. Duran , the rally killer. 2 pitches by Cimber, 2 outs, including a hit by McGuire
  4. You have to be witless to have that AB. Absolutely no clue
  5. While you are issuing invites be sure to avoid Kike as well. Showed nothing when it counted. Same for Darling Dalbec
  6. Win it in the bottom of the 8th with men on and a key hit needed or continue the frustration
  7. Hugh, here's how it correlates : Sale cannot even throw the baseball, once again, so therefore he has no "stuff'. I understand your point but anyone who looks at Chris Sale as anything except dead money until he actually returns to the mound and earns some has no stuff. Speculating about what he can and cannot do is pointless. He was back, then unluckily took a shot off his finger, then fell down riding his bike. Why is he such a subject of interest ?
  8. Nice to see Bogaerts catch up to a real FB and drill it out. Adios muchachos to this year.
  9. Or to give up 15 simultaneously
  10. I wonder if the pitchers know they suck when they are warming up in the pen. 3rd most walks in the AL, can't get the 3rd strike or out. Giving it up late . Still it only shadows the inability to score runs.
  11. #9 hitter Mateo lights up Schreiber like a Christmas tree. Walks and HBP's score . You may be seeing the end of the competitive season right now
  12. I truly hope Dave Bush reviews Barnes's videos with him to point out how his mechanics and overthrowing body motion ruins what stuff he does have. Matt is mentally and physically unhinged out there. Essentially he got 3 outs on 25 pitches with 3-2 counts everywhere, and a wild pitch to put a runner in scoring position.
  13. I called Cora betwe3en innings and said at least 5 of us wanted Franchy to get a shot. AC listens
  14. probably just my eye test being in error but in this start and numerous previous ones, Nick sure seems to struggle with 2 outs , putting men on base, a lucky hit, etc. I have talked to Cora about it, and he agrees. Pull Nick whenever 2 outs.
  15. So the hitting slump continues through 6 tonight. The pressure barometer in the BP starts to rise.
  16. Odor, who stinks, makes zero effort to avoid the pitch brushing his jersey . Next time hit him flush
  17. I think the pick'em up team pays the MLB minimum prorated for the partial season.
  18. Bottom 1 and this game looks like it's the Bad News Bears already
  19. Red Sox recall Franchy Cordero as the 27th man for tonight's "Special Event" game with the Orioles. Hosmer out with sore back and Pham says his is hurting too. The team needs a back coach . His room would be full with a waiting list.
  20. The Red Sox will NEVER get to 10,000 wins without a decent closer . They also need to get rid of Bloom and Cora to have a chance. Also DFA anyone who is or will be a "dead money" contract burden. Also draft better, develop a pitcher once a decade and improve the farm system depth chart.
  21. So the asswipe is a builder , not a baseball guy. Good for him. I'm both
  22. This site has turned, for no good reason , into the same 'civil war" as our politics so Fire Cora, Fire Bloom, Henry should sell out. All the players suck, or are the best ever. JDM is broken down, X is old and stiff, Devers never will amount to anything and is not worth a 2 month contract for $10,000, Sale is Freakin' or a grave robber , a closer is critical or doesn't matter, Story is a typical Colorado slacker. Duran Duran should stick to music or sucks at every opportunity . Dalbec, Cordero and Sanchex=z should be tied up in a ball of wax and lit on fire. Asswipe Houck can't close or last a season, but should be a starter and Whitlock should still be a Yankee if we didn't trade for Ottovino. Get a hold of yourself guys and analyze what's going on. Sox either win tomorrow or this season is over.
  23. Like yourself, I think I have seen a lot of baseball over decades. I watch the plays and replays and trust most of what I see. Dugo has in the past dogged it on occasion, but i think he was looking for a rebound off that paddded wall. It makes, however, an absolute nothing burger because Whitlock got the 3 outs before orioles got 4 runs, so screw it.
  24. It sort of hit at the base of the wall and did not rebound hard. It did look a little odd, but I didn't put that one on Dugo
  25. 3 up/3 down and the season will continue. Nominal gain in overall terms but better than a loss that would have ended any dreaming.
