8/14 Sox @ Yankems
vegasbob replied to SPLENDIDSPLINTER's topic in Mike Grace Memorial Game Thread Forum
Sox pitchers have been squeezed lending credibility to the the fact that umpires and referees in general defer to the home team or perceived power teams. Guys like Brewer have to be perfect -

2 out, 2 strike pitching : 1. Walk ; 2. infield single 3: CALLED STRIKE 3, Carlton, you are a beauty -

Brewer gives the 2 out walk. Why mess up a scoreless inning? Then goes 3-2 and gives up a rolling ground ball single to load the bases. Now over 20 pitches, look out guys, here comes something -
Just to confirm how screwed Roenicke is with this bunch, he uses Peraza , his somewhat regular 2Bman, to pitch the ninth and he gets tagged on the knee by a hard hit ball, stopping that experiment. So Plawecki, the backup catcher comes in to pitch and Two Way Lin goes behind the plate. Honestly you couldn't make this season up.

I see the Cubs are doing well after their WS hangover. Whose their Pres/GM ? Maybe we could get him.
-
An amzing performance by all of them. Swept by the Rays at home, and the finale the Sox score 8 runs only to lose by NINE. Roenicke is not going to be around next season, but there really is nothing he can do with the utter lack of talent this pitching is showing
-
Yeah, the fans were brutal , jumping all over him. He does need another start just to see if that was for real. It's really the Sox fault if he 's not reay for prime time to keep him away until such time that he won't get crushed.
-
Walden is almost incredibly bad. 20 pitches, gives up 3 runs and gets NO One out and is still pitching. Why?? Because they still need 12 more outs and nobody is any better. Here's a new record I'm sure--- the pinata gives up a second HR and a total of 6 runs without recording an out. Incredible.
-
I'll go out on a limb and say Marcus Walden is a pinata, or an extreme case of worthless crap
-
Anyone who was worried about Brandon workman being overworked this year had no clue as to the depth of the problem. Workman is on unemplyment sincee his team may never have the lead again.
-
Devers having a big inning in the field. 4th inning can't get anybody our and down 9-4. After this bomb-out, not even on pace for a 20 win season. Swept at home.
-
Devers can be somebody else's idea of a good time on a ball field.
-
He's definitely showing some spark after getting that first hit out of the way. A new Brock Holt or a full time regular next year?
-
How the heck does JBJr always find the perfectly positioned fielder even on his harder hit ground balls? His pursuit of an FA deal will be frustrating for him this coming off season. Fortunately, he will have plenty of free time to send his resume video around.
-
keep in mind Hart has thrown 72 pitches and counting to get 6 outs
-
Keep the drone over the field. It helps keep the score closer by not allowing the Rays to keep hitting Hart in the nuts
-
This junior f***wit has now pitched 2 innings given up 3 walks , back to back HR's and 5 runs. Not ready for prime time.
-
Glasnow of the Rays looks like the kind of thrower, our boys usually come up with He is so wild today , he is going to hit and hurt one of our hitters. Do not dig in on this wild child
-
Based on strictly batting averages, Boston's murderer row consists of Moreland, Pillar, Plawecki and Arauz.
-
I wish Kyle Hart no ill and hope he becomes part of the answer. I do see he got the RedSox Way pitching manual : walk the leadoff man, and give up a soft 2 out hit, digging a small hole in the first at 2-0. Not Kyle's fault, his team has not developed a pitcher in so long they don't know how to restart the process
-
You keep Godley, preferably far from Fenway, in your dog's house
-
Keep in mind that the guy who assembled most of the Rays team currently shutting out the Sox, 8-0. , now works in our building. I guess there's hope some day.
-
Amazing Weber comes back from the dead and racks up 5.0 innings of shutout pitching on just 49 pitches with 4 K's and a DP. OK, the Rays hitters are probably tired from slugging Godley and running around the bases.
-
Does anyone here picture Michael Chavis being the regular 1Bman or 2Bman for the next 4-5 years ?
-
Max, it may be unfair in the broad sense but the play and some decisions so far this short season tell my optic recognition system that Ron Roenicke has little or no control nor influence over these guys. I can see where the position players get tired of being buried early many games, but Ron does not seem to be the personality to wake them back up next Spring. Chaim needs his own guy, younger and ready to get them up to Bogaerts level of effort.
