  1. Beni called himself a f*** as he K'ed. At least he got something right. That's 5 personal LOBS
  2. I would have sent Devers there to try and get a lead. Beni better not POPPER UP or K
  3. Yes, got in a few innings there and did well
  4. Devers may start speaking English, in addition to his swearing, he likes London so much
  5. Loving it. If the Pen can just shut the Yanks down, I like our chances. We have 24 outs to go. It would be truly ironic if our pen throws a shutout for 8 innings
  6. Huge credit he came through with maybe the biggest non-walk off of the year
  7. Called it. MC HAMMER gets it all right. Where's jacko ?
  8. Chavis has my ok to swing for the fences here. Go for broke
  9. My man Beni, the King of Popper Uppers. Why is he swinging at pitch #1 and 2 against a guy who has shown no control ? He's a real mystery,
  10. A Grand Slam in bottom 1, and they would still be down. Just shows how bad Porcello was,
  11. Well guys, a 3 run HR by JDM and we will still be down by two in bottom first. Let it happen.
  12. Very strange first inning. Must be the mound. Betts and devers will be #1/#2 for the whole second half. Bye-Bye Beni
  13. I think No Dick Rick needds a new nickname, BUZZ, as in buzzkill. Porcello personally wiped out a half season's worth of PR hype about the London games. Can't wait for him to say , " I need to get better, Working on it"
  14. Brewer says, Who did I piss off ? I'll show you.
  15. The Brits may not know the rule that games are supposed to go the full 9. I suggest, Cora call it sometime during the second inning and blame it on English breakfast for a teamwide case of the shits. There goes any discussion of resigning Porcello. That was embarrassing on a big , though artificial stage.
  16. Porcello can't get out of this inning. He'll be at 30 pitches on the next hitter. Everything is a shot except for the missed foul.
  17. Welcome to 2019 a bizzarro version of 2018. Porcello has nothing and Chavis had to run a lot, probably not when he gets up since the walk of shame isn't too far back to the dugout
  18. It doesn't take 20-20 eyesight to question whether the Sox are better off playing 2 "home" games in London vs the unfriendly confines of Feway in 2019. Normally a team bulit for Fenway's oddiites have played their way to a muddling , wait for it, 20-20 record . I am just hoping someone reminds the players that it is not an exhibition and the results will count as they make a run at the #2 WC.
  19. Good catch, I better text Devers and Nunez en espanol to go the wrong way.
  20. Seeing that we are now in Part 11 , it would n't hurt to see the focus shift from its early and we are shoe-ins for at least a WC slot, to actually winning at about a .650 pace, 96-97 wins. Right now the Sox are not #1 nor #2 for the slot and the blown game by Barnes vs CWS just put a stink cloud over the start of the second 81 games. I don't think dropping 2 in London to the Bombers would help clear the air. Taking two could be something sweet for a reset . BTW, when does the new reliever show up ??
  21. The London games will be on artificial turf so there could be some odd plays and the catchers/1B/3B will be chasing some fould balls in the generous foul areas. I would say there is a good chance that the field itself will come into discussion as a condition that affects the outcome. Hopefully the British umpires have a better strike zone recognition than the MLB guys.
  22. Cannot argue with your point of the potential difference one more Matt Barnes statistical twin would have made in the current record. That hypothetical pitcher plus Barnes in the 7th inning when a comeback is still possible, plus Workman could have salvaged a few more wins, maybe several since the others would be less used. Hembree may have been trending that way, and I suspect his loss for however long was somewhat a nail in DD/Cora's coffin re the BP. That and not one guy from Pawtucket who you can say made a real difference either by effective inning count or results. I'll give Mike Shawaryn a pass on some decent numbers to date but only over 11.1 innings, but no decisions, no saves, not any real late and close PA's, looking at Moon's table above. yet
  23. This was well noted by Terry Smith and Mark Langston of the Angels radio team as well recently.
