9/9 - We Are Going To Lose

[soxin6]

Boiled ass, that's what this ump is. Boiled ass.

Like the Sox needed help losing

 

[Vandalman]

Rally time.

 

[Joe Shlabotnick]

Time to atone, Tristan.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Oh for fuck's sake, you gotta send Verdugo there. 95% chance he scores. Oh well, bases drunk for Casas.

I don't know, you can't take the chance of denying the Casas at bat

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Jeez, Casas missed that by more than a foot.

 

[Joe Shlabotnick]

Cock tease extraordinaire.

 

[Bergs]

Dammit, Tris.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Ugh

 

[soxin6]

I don't know, you can't take the chance of denying the Casas at bat

Yes you could. Casas had been terrible this game and that continued.

 

[patinorange]

Oh for fuck's sake, you gotta send Verdugo there. 95% chance he scores. Oh well, bases drunk for Casas.

Yup.

 

[Pandemonium67]

17 hits and losing. Can we get 20?

 

[patinorange]

I don't know, you can't take the chance of denying the Casas at bat

I'd like to see a replay on Verdugo's jump from second base with two outs. I have a feeling I would be annoyed.

 

[Joe Shlabotnick]

How often does a team score 9 runs and lose?

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Going to be interesting to see if hte O's can succeed in October with this pitching staff, especially with Felix Bautista likely not coming back.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Going to be interesting to see if hte O's can succeed in October with this pitching staff, especially with Felix Bautista likely not coming back.

I haven't followed them enough to know. I know we haven't seen Cano today, but are these relievers the top half of their pen?

 

[Joe Shlabotnick]

Going to be interesting to see if hte O's can succeed in October with this pitching staff, especially with Felix Bautista likely not coming back.

Yeah they’ve been real hush hush on Bautista. It doesn’t appear that he’s close to coming back.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Yoshida extends his MLB lead in grounding out to second

 

[DeadlySplitter]

I think Webb who was roughed up today is supposed to be their 3rd-4th best guy, but I might be spitballing.

Also their rotation is just pretty uninspiring for a 1 seed in a league. Again, it's going to be really interesting with Camden Yards full of expectations for the first time in nearly a decade.... and it will likely be HOU or TB as the opponent....

 

[aksoxfan]

Yoshida extends his MLB lead in grounding out to second

Trying to break JBJ’s record.

 

[patinorange]

The strikeout machine, Trevor Story.

 

[soxhop411]

The Sox will lose this game and it really is on the pitchers Cora has chosen after Sale

No. Its 100% on sale. Your so called “ace” should be pitching more than 4 IP. And his last start of more than 5IP was in May.

he can continue to make excuses for why he is pitching like crap every postgame. But he has yet to actually back up those reason and prove he can depended on.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Basehit!

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Yoshida has walked once this month.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Remember when people were upset that Abreu was starting today?
Fun times

 

[LynnRice75]

Another chance for the elusive two out three-run shot.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

BLAST ONE INTO THE MOTHERFUCKING STRATOSPHERE, CONNOR!

 

[mauidano]

Baseball is a weird game. 19 hits and we're losing.

 

[aksoxfan]

Yoshida has walked once this month.

Well we’re only 9 days into it.

 

[teddywingman]

Trying to break JBJ’s record.

I love JBJ, but was looking at bref just now. His ops+ for the year is 9. Wow. 9

 

[Harry Hooper]

O's out of mound visits?

 

[Joe Shlabotnick]

Shocker.

 

[LynnRice75]

Sigh. So many chances.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Oof. Non-competitive at-bat from Wong. Oof.

 

[E5 Yaz]

There are holes in swings, and then there's low-and-outside to Wong

 

[Big Papa Smurph]

Well we’re only 9 days into it.

6 walks since July 1st (212 plate appearances). His OBP in that time frame is .302

 

[patinorange]

Why would anyone throw anything near the plate to Wong? Pathetic.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Two ABs with the tying run at the plate yield zero.

 

[AB in DC]

LOB

Baltimore 2
Boston 12

 

[E5 Yaz]

Why would anyone throw anything near the plate to Wong? Pathetic.

The thing that gets me is that he's a catcher, the guy who's trained to get pitchers to take advantage of batters' weaknesses, and he can't figure out they're going to that spot in his own at-bats

 

[AB in DC]

There are holes in swings, and then there's low-and-outside to Wong

Or Story.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Jacques will have to hit four batters to get a run across

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

6 walks since July 1st (212 plate appearances). His OBP in that time frame is .302

He’s got 0.7 fWAR. Wonder if Keith Law will reply to everyone who sent him nasty notes a few months back.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Scared of the corpse of Aaron Hicks

 

[soxin6]

No. Its 100% on sale. Your so called “ace” should be pitching more than 4 IP. And his last start of more than 5IP was in May.

he can continue to make excuses for why he is pitching like crap every postgame. But he has yet to actually back up those reason and prove he can depended on.

Oh come on, Sale isn’t an ace and did a short rehab before coming back.

 

[LogansDad]

Intentionally walking Hicks might be a new low on this season.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Has anyone noticed that this is a pretty poorly constructed team?

 

[patinorange]

Scared of the corpse of Aaron Hicks

Should be. He's killing them.

 

[derekson]

He’s got 0.7 fWAR. Wonder if Keith Law will reply to everyone who sent him nasty notes a few months back.

I'm more partial to bWAR, but wow fWAR really hates his defense. He has 1.3 bWAR for a comparison (which still isn't amazing for $15.6M).

 

[E5 Yaz]

Should be. He's killing them.

Then shoot him in the brain

 

[patinorange]

No. Its 100% on sale. Your so called “ace” should be pitching more than 4 IP. And his last start of more than 5IP was in May.

he can continue to make excuses for why he is pitching like crap every postgame. But he has yet to actually back up those reason and prove he can depended on.

Sale is done. They should work on making him a middle reliever. Maybe that would prevent us from seeing Jacques next year.
