    The hopeless K's were Vazquez and Devers in case you were watching. Betts AB was actually worse after he finished it.

    Exactly what was Mookie looking for on the 2-0 and 3-1 counts, where he got some center cut medium fastballs, only to dribble out on a horseshit 3-2 pitch. Betts made CC's night instead of knocking him out.

    Jackie takes one for the team, now Mookie's turn to light it up after 2 hopeless K's

    Great reaction to his offside by Devers, maybe the bats will now show up.

    JD Martinez, I believe

    I guess running Erod back out there against the middle of the lineup is a "character building" lesson in lieu of No Mas

    Julio is either tired or just can't time slop pitches and that hurts their chances of a comeback

    Now a JDM blast here would make it a game again. Will Cora let Erod bleed or let Haley see the big time show ?
  9. vegasbob
    See the size of Gardner's glove ? Big enough to cover CC's prodigous ass

    It would also help him to lose the A. Lincoln beard. His fastball only diet makes it look scruffy

    Now you get a taste of what it's like to be an Orioles or Angels fan. Remember the Rays just swept these guys

    Gives up an HR to a .167 hitter. This guy has a loser mentality

    Nice start Erod, your walk comes home and you give up nothing but EBH's.

    Many like to crap all over Nunez and he deserves some of it, but I never have thought Xander Bogaerts was any kind of elite SS either. That was a pitiful AB. At least Nunez is playing daily when he was signed on as a utility player.

    Nice graphic on Pearce by NESN. Lifetime 83 HR's but only 28 rbi's. Must have missed stepping on the plate a lot.

    C.B. Bucknor at third base umpire? Does he rotate to home or second-then first , so we don't have to see him miscall pitches behind the plate/

    The umpires do not run much, mostly stand in place watching the game until something catches them by surprise and they wake up with no worries because replay will get it right.

    I would think it is almost assured that even if Pedey does not play again this year or the knee inflames on another restart that he will be at 2019 ST in Ft. Myers and give it a try. The guy will not just walkaway from the opportunity or the money to be commercial about it. If he could play 110-120 games with some effectiveness, he will be out there trying to do so.

    What is it if you split a 3 game series, lol ?

    I have a completely unfounded hypothesis that some pitchers lack a lot of self confidence and easily talk themselves out of their potential abilities. They are also sometimes not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Recent examples , IMO, are Clay Buchholz and Daniel Bard. Joe Kelly's "streakiness" (not inconsistency) is beginning to look similar. Joe may be the JBJr of the BP. I rewatched his inning from last night again. He had 0-2 counts on Trout and Upton, only to walk MT and give up a hit to Upton. He was ahead of Pujols 0-1 before his hit scored trout. Simmons hit a bullet that Betts intercepted, and Beni made a leaping catch to stop the next shot. Finally Joe git a routine fly ball. OK, so two games in a row of true slop and never a domiant pitch after getting a strike or two up. Indicates no fine command of his fastball or slider. Just a bad 2 nights or a guy who cannot bring a tough mindset to the park each day ?

    Here are the possibilities: Sox go 0-3, 2 behind NY Sox go 1-2, Dead tie for AL East, NY with 4 more games yet to play , probably worth 1 to 1 1/2 game gain. Sox go 2-1, NY would be 2 up , Yankee's 4 games to play can only tie at best Sox sweep'em at 3-0. NY 4 back and the 4 games don't close the gap. Note---there is no way for the Sox to be 3 up after Sunday. Conclusion, a sweep is the most effective way of flushing the Yankees into the Bronx sewer system. It would be epic.

    Nor Kelly, so Hembree and Barnes are your studs with neither Johnson nor Velazquez available for long relief after 5 inning E-rod gives you his best shot. But at the end of the season a win vs the Angels counts exactly as much as a win vs. the NYY crowd. Just not as enjoyable emotionally.
  23. vegasbob
    Could not agree more. Oh , and Joe Kelly keeps auditioning for the role as the next ass clown in the bullpen. If you are Cora , how much confidence can Joe bring after those 2 Angel appearances ? Beni totally saved his butt on the play in LF.
  24. vegasbob
    Let's see Jackie hold .200 for a week before voting him an All-Star. I hope does go on his streak and if he will go with pitches to left field he may well have it figured out. But only if he could bunt too

    Angels self destruct yearly with pitching staff DL's. They seriously need a whole different strength, conditioning and flexibility coach. BoSox need to continue crushing them like a used soda can to teach them the error of their ways.
