9/6- Pivetta at the Trop

[JohnnyTheBone]

dude has to be fired at the end of the year right?

I sure hope so. Clearly, these guys need a new voice and maybe a kick in the ass.

 

[Salem's Lot]

At least he’s thrown a lot of pitches.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Abreu is overmatched against Glasnow

 

[strek1]

Sox clueless against this guy.

 

[patinorange]

Not even a prayer with this kid against Glasnow.

 

[Salem's Lot]

I sure hope so. Clearly, these guys need a new voice and maybe a kick in the ass.

And better pitching most importantly.

 

[shawnrbu]

2021 may have ended very differently if the Rays had Glasnow.

 

[patinorange]

I cannot believe he walked the strikeout machine, Story.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

I don't think the Red Sox have ever had a manager that cares less than Cora.

Cy Young, maybe.

The next shit he gives will be the first. All he wants to do is go home and watch cute pet rescue videos on youtube and eat ice cream. Fuck, if they made glasses that showed videos of golden retrievers cuddling with kittens, he would never take them off.

But it's important to understand WHY he doesn't care. Everyone criticizes him for not caring, but nobody ever talks about why. It seems like only half of the conversation.

Because he's as bad a managing as he was at playing baseball?

 

[patinorange]

Can't get through five innings. The story of the 2023 Sox.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Because he's as bad a managing as he was at playing baseball?

No. It's because he hates the Red Sox.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Oh goody -- two outs! We're home free.

 

[shawnrbu]

That’s not gone?

 

[patinorange]

Ramirez is a pro's pro.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

4 2/3s, the average outing for a Red Sox starter.

 

[shawnrbu]

Another start under 5.

 

[brandonchristensen]

I vastly preferred the era of starting pitchers pitching deeper into games.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

I'm skeptical the Red Sox can get 4 runs this game, but I think they are going to need more than that. This feels like it's about to go off the rails.

 

[bloodysox]

No Rafaela after a great game at the plate really annoys me, especially considering that Abreu cost the Sox 3 runs yesterday. Rafaela is a top 5 prospect in our system while Abreu doesn't crack the top 20, so why is Abreu getting more starts than Rafaela?

Perhaps, and please bear with me here, because Glasnow is a RHP.

Not working out well so far.

Plus with us being out of contention for the most part I think it's important we play Rafaela as much as possible to get a better sense of how he fits into their plans next year.

Don't worry, Corey Kluber began his rehab assignment

 

[patinorange]

Dave Bush getting some exercise. Fourth walk of the inning.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Oh Thank God. The season might not be over yet!

 

[InsideTheParker]

You know your game is going into the toilet as soon as you see Llovera warming.

Whether we are out of it this year or not, Rafaela needs at bats, hete or in AAA. If he isn't going to be played here, send him back down.

 

[brandonchristensen]

I like how the Yankees bring up some kids and they all start mashing.

Sox bring up kids and Cora won't play them more than one day at a time because of reasons.

 

[scotian1]

This team suffers from a serious lack of talent.

 

[shawnrbu]

Also liked when the best players played no matter which hand the starting pitcher throws with unless it was Randy Johnson.

These guys know they can swing yeah? Am I unaware of a recent rule change?

Blame @absintheofmalaise

 

[patinorange]

I guess Raffi was looking for the yakker.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Blame @absintheofmalaise

I always do.

The Moneyball era has been pretty good to the Red Sox.

What has it done for me today though

[JOBU]

That’s not a strike

 

[strek1]

Too bad Glasnow can't throw 150 pitches. With the help of this ump he could break the record.

 

[bigq]

Glasnow is pitching a gem.

 

[E5 Yaz]

The last time the Red Sox put the ball in play was when Yoshida grounded to the pitcher to end the T4

 

[patinorange]

Glasnow is pitching a gem.

Rooting for Cash to pull him. Their only slim chance.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Glasnow is pitching a gem.

He looks incredibly sharp today.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

17 first pitch strikes for Glasnow (out of 21).

 

[E5 Yaz]

All this criticism and ineptitude ... and they're only down a bloop and a blast

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Hey Siri, sit the fuck down!

 

[dhappy42]

Why raise the white flag, down only 3-1?

 

[brandonchristensen]

Or a bloop and a walk!

I have it on good authority the Red Sox are done scoring for the night.

Sounds like a good Croenenberg movie
