2 outs, no one on and you walk the hitter, then it turns into a run. Bunch of 2 out pitchers, but no shutdowns. Then another 2 out walk, Sawnuts goes over 20 pitches and all hell may break loose now
Enjoyed Jahmai's report on the wild 72 pitch, 5 walk, 3 hit, 8 out effort by Sale. When he does come back to the rotation he will need a couple starts to get up to 6 inning potential.
Eckersley didn't like it either
We may be underestimating the rotation problems with Wacha, Eovaldi, Whitlock plus Sale and Paxton's long recoveries . Pivetta blowing up didn't help last night . Could not be in a worse set up schedule wise. Then the hitters go quiet and Devers has lower body soreness as they say in hockey
Bello needs to shut up all of us who haven't seen a homegrown stud pitcher in a long time. Best of luck and talent to him to get it done. Need to get a W
Good call ! This stretch with irregular starters needs a run scoring average of about 8 to be competitive. July 4th was definitely an outlier, but very appreciated.
You guys think I was kidding about Robles needing to build his confidence. Who is warming up to prove AC's devotion to his players?
Thank goodness, AC had a sane moment and let Hansel just keep warming up, with Schreiber trying to close it
Nice hitting by Franchy to stretch the lead. Almost humorous to watch Vaz hugging the bases one at a time unlike his earlier tendencies to go flying around
The Dodgers just extended their backup catcher, Austin Barnes, for 2 years at $7MM total. Would it make sense for the Red Sox to discuss extending Vazquez at for 2 years at $13MM? We know there will be some significant turnover this coming off season with high profile players. Do we want a key position behind the plate also moving?
