Another very winnable game lost due to a failure of hitting -
Free swinging Rafaela called out on strikes with bases loaded. Really weak. How many LoBs today ? A lot
-
Don't know if the Sox know it or care but they could have destroyed Arrighetti today. But DPs, and many LoBs sink them again. Story does suck
-
But Story was up , hah
-
Going to watch the Derby prerace so I can see some professional athletes. Phone me if the Sox make a comeback
-
Here's why Story is failing: He cannot catch up to a MLB fastball. Too slow
-
Good thing for Early that it is still early , However , this loss is looking booked
-
There were many outcomes Contreras could have achieved. instead he executed the absolute worst one.
-
Regrettably, watching the Bruins was a lot like watching the Sox. A definite deficit of scorers
-
Sox #4-6 batters stretched Arrighetti out to 12 pitches in the 2nd, so there is that. Mayer predictably chasing a breaking ball on 3-2 that wasn't particularly close.
-
Vs. Arrighetti's 10 pitch effort to retire our #1-3 batters. What the heck is going on with Anthony. Does he need to go to Worcester so he can be MLB's #1 prospect again and be somebody ? Obviously that is not going to happen, but I will dump on him if he becomes our best hitter again in the late part of a wasted season
-
Yes, on one swing of the bat. That was an anomaly when Duran hit an HR with MoB.
-
Today will be another run scoring challenge for the Yellowshirts vs the arrogant Arrighetti Probably be a run explosion both ways
-
Sox get a needed win Bruins looking at the end of their season. Down 2 in 3rd period
-
A bold prediction I do concede, but 3 runs will not be enough to win this game which is shortly going over to Kelly and Weissert. All runs came on 1 swing by Duran , but plenty of LOBsters out on the bases. 1 for 7 RISP through 5.
-
But still wondering how Casas spends his Saturdays
-
Contreras may be an asset on this team. Nice play to get the DP and help Bennett reach the 5th inning
-
Big HR by Duran. Way to go and grab lead
-
Bennett looks better throwing hard strikes, not so many change ups But challenged to close the inning out. Sox specialize in 2 out innings
-
Bennett starts nibbling and not following through issuing 2 walks with 2 outs FAFO with Altuve and you might pay or not Bennett will have trouble going more than 4 innings given his pitch count
-
Watching the opening road trip i commented that the players did not look ready for the season The WBC participants should have been ready for real competition The 6 game opening trip was extended ST and the guys wanted to get home. Crochet allegedly said he was saving himself in ST and consequently was not built up to be a power pitcher in April. Cora had enough of Breslow's dictating lineups and who played. He backed his coaches because , frankly, AC had nothing to lose financially . He is a known Coach's manager. Why would AC want to put in an entyire season of misery like us fans will now do. Enjoy PR , Alex. But you should have had them ready, that was your failure.
-
They ( FO) are concerned Masa will get injured and hurt his trade value in July.
-
So the incredibly deep starting rotation of March 27 now comes down to a rookie starter going against one of the very few MLB teams with a marginally worse record than the Sox. #1 and #2 on the IL before end of April, Crawford may be chronic . Bello is a bellboy , mental midget. Looking at the Red Sox hitting stats for OBP and OPS , you could say that only Contreras and Abreu are contributing as expected. Duran and Anthony are wandering in the desert . Durbin contributes almost nothing . Cedanne Rafaela is doing better than you might have expected. Trevor @ SS, well, that's another Story with a bad ending.
-
With virtually 20% of the season ( 31 games) played and most regular position players above or very near 100 PA's you can draw a few conclusions . They simply were not ready for the season, they got Cora et alia fired and the clubhouse is likely a quiet place . Tracy inherits a dead dog and is supposed to make it stand up and bark. This has become really bad
-
Good News ! Crochet only needs a 15 day rest not a shoulder reconstruction. The positives regarding this group are amazing . Hard to see the opportunity to turn this "lost" season around in any meaningful way
