In Which the Red Sox Beat the Astros

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

For those who can't get it, some game threading of it will be appreciated

Agreed. Not sure if MLB.TV will cover it or not.

 

[bosockboy]

Shank sharpening his knife. He’ll be the one to attack Cora.

 

[LogansDad]

If they don’t go out and spend a ton of money on actual top of the rotation starting pitching, then I fail to see what they’re trying to build.

If they don't get starting pitching this offseason, they will probably even get me off the Pollyanna train.

[Philip Jeff Frye]

This is Homer beating up the Krustyburglar. Just cruel.

Just saw the box score after being tied up all evening and this is the first thing I thought of.

 

[patinorange]

I'm not rooting for illness, but it will be interesting to see what the hell was going on with the bullpen.

 

[strek1]

9 walks and 10 hits but only 5 runs scored. Not that were going to match 13 but that's pretty awful hitting with RISP. 3 for 12.

 

[scottyno]

yes, but the ballpark has become a visitors home game, the team can't pitch, hit sporadically, and just cannot field. I want to be optimistic but they give me very little reason.

Can't pitch yet have above average pitching for the year

 

[mauidano]

Agreed. Not sure if MLB.TV will cover it or not.

If you stay with the feed on MLB.TV they'll show it.

 

[shawnrbu]

TC, Lenny DiNardo and Darnell McDonald.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Carrying the water so far.

 

[shawnrbu]

TC: 6th Inning as bad an Inning as I have seen from a pitcher.

 

[RedOctober3829]

If they don't get starting pitching this offseason, they will probably even get me off the Pollyanna train.

It would signal that they don’t care about winning

 

[LogansDad]

McDonald Dinardo (I am an idiot)is all aboard the Cora apologies.

Fuck that shit. Caron calling him out, thankfully.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

If you stay with the feed on MLB.TV they'll show it.

Perfect.

 

[E5 Yaz]

TC, Lenny DiNardo and Darnell McDonald.

Who will be the next three starting pitchers for the Red Sox?

 

[RedOctober3829]

TC is pretty pissed

 

[budcrew08]

Agreed. Not sure if MLB.TV will cover it or not.

They have been this year pretty consistently.

 

[shawnrbu]

McDonald is all aboard the Cora apologies.

Fuck that shit. Caron calling him out, thankfully.

That’s Lenny.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

McDonald is all aboard the Cora apologies.

Fuck that shit. Caron calling him out, thankfully.

That’s not Rice.

 

[simplicio]

If you stay with the feed on MLB.TV they'll show it.

On some platforms it automatically leaves the feed and you have to go back.

 

[LogansDad]

That’s not Rice.

Yeah, I am an idiot. I was totally wrong. I may be really pissed tonight.

 

[LogansDad]

That’s Lenny.

Yep, I will leave my post unedited for my shame.

 

[bosockboy]

Lenny burying Kyle. Ruthless.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Showing the chart of pitches thrown by the bullpen the previous week

 

[budcrew08]

Talking about the bullpen and why they have so many pitches.

 

[budcrew08]

Now talking about Sale only throwing 4 2/3 and getting pissed about the passed ball.

 

[Shaky Walton]

I've been told that the Red Sox are on the upswing.

Well, well, well.

I would hate to see what the downswing looks like!

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Can't pitch yet have above average pitching for the year

Huh??? They’ve given up 638 runs- about even with the Tigers.

The only AL teams to give up more are the Angels, White Sox, Royals, and A’s.

 

[RedOctober3829]

46 innings in the last 10 games by Sox starters

 

[shawnrbu]

Needless to say McGuire will be catching next time Sale starts.

 

[Papo The Snow Tiger]

Cora on live

 

[shawnrbu]

Lenny: 5 Innings used to be a C- start.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Cora—a lot of guys were down

 

[budcrew08]

Going live to Cora: Bear Claw “didn’t have it today.” “Guys weren’t available” but no explanation.

 

[mr_smith02]

"he just didn't have it"...So you leave him in for multiple innings?!?

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Cora refusing to answer and even giving the canned spiel Bear Claw was doing fine at AAA. This isn't going to fly.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Barraclough throwing a lot of strikes in Worcester. Said Jansen and Martin available, won’t discuss any of the others.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Cora first said he just had Martin and Jansen left in the pen, but when asked about Wink's availability he kind of hedged about who was available.

 

[budcrew08]

“This is where we’re at, 16 games in a row”
“We’ll be in a better spot tomorrow with the bullpen”

 

[Reggie's Racquet]

Cora first said he just had Martin and Jansen left in the pen, but when asked about Wink's availability he kind of hedged about who was available.

Total bullshit.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Lot of usage, trust our medical staff, still a lot of games to play.

 

[LogansDad]

Barraclough wanted the 9th.

 

[scottyno]

Huh??? They’ve given up 638 runs- about even with the Tigers.

The only AL teams to give up more are the Angels, White Sox, Royals, and A’s.

Because they pitch in a massive hitters park and have terrible fielding, neither of those has anything to do with the pitching. They had a 105 era+ before today, by definition that's above average pitching.

 

[budcrew08]

I feel bad that we left Bear Claw in so long, wanted to have a position player in the 9th, but he wanted to come back out.

 

[shawnrbu]

Barraclough asked for the 9th. Warrior.

 

[8slim]

Huh??? They’ve given up 638 runs- about even with the Tigers.

The only AL teams to give up more are the Angels, White Sox, Royals, and A’s.

Im sure there’s an algorithm that shows how good we are. All those runs are probably just “bad luck”.

 

[HangingW/ScottCooper]

I'm guessing Barraclaugh, Llovera, Martin and Kenley were the only guys available.

 

[budcrew08]

Maybe he gave the reporter the real deal in Spanish, I couldn’t understand that haha.

 

[RedOctober3829]

I'm guessing Barraclaugh, Llovera, Martin and Kenley were the only guys available.

Just speaks to how poor the SP has been
