I know Chavis is still young and this season's results don't matter much, but does anyone see progress in that guy's hitting ? I don't see him making a move towards consistency in pitch to hit selection
Can you fit a pig in a pinata. ? I feel a little for Roeneicke for being stuck with these duds, and if you go back to March 1, Bloom thought he had Sale (wihful thinking) and Erod plus Perez and Eovaldi. All he needed was one of his cast-offs to get lucky and he would be ok, not good but ok.
Sale was in denial since the 2018 WS final out. Erod caught the disease and then had complications. Bloom failed to get lucky with any cast-off pickup. Sometimes you get lucky, often you don't.
$20 mill for 2 years, you got it Mattie. I think the real frustration is listening to the "analysts" who really thought he was worthwhile. I've seen a lot of baseball, as most here have, and you can tell a winner from a loser after a reasonable number of observations. I hope I'm not accurate but I put Benintendi in the category of a prospective failure . Chavis is next.
To all the believers in Santa Claus and the fairies, go ahead and trade Matthew Barnes to the high bidder. You must really want that tub of Dubble Bubble. I have bitched about this pork meat ball for 2 seasons only to be shown the brilliant stats and "advanced analytics" determinimg Barnes's greatness.
The guy was , is and will be a gutless horseshit thrower of the first degree. I only have my eyeball test to determine that but if it stinks it's horseshit or probably pigshit and Barnes is it
Of course, JDM couldn't barrel up and get it out to right center. No Red Sox will take the cheap way out to right field. The ultimate insult is Brett "Head" Gardner getting his second double.
Bot6tom of the 6th will be the inning where the winner of this game is determined. if Eovaldi gets them out only down 4-3 the Sox will lose.. If it goes beyond 4-3, then the Sox will lose. Never give up there is always the chance of an earthquake.
That was excellent !. I only hope Rask and/or his family actually have a situation worth his bailing out. He wasn't all that great in the round robin. But i5rt leaves the B's with no real backup, except a guy that has never played in the league
here's the problem with Sox relievers, brice comes in and closes the 3rd nicely, but now with on;ly one out in the 4th, he is at 24 pitches. relievers start sinking heavily at 20 pitches
Brewer did what he could with little command and a high pitch count. At least , RR made a move to try and strand the runner on 3rd. Brice may be able to get this next out to close the inning, but as usual Sox down 2-0
Two on , no outs, Brewer pitch count at 59. This is where RR needs to think and do something, even if it meant bringing in Barnes to stop it
Blows up Urshela's bat, but it was as good as a bunt, with runners moved up. Can't catch a break
