July 22 Mets @Fenway
- Thread starter pk1627
- Start date
Crappy long reliever/swing starter type.
27 y/o. 5.54 ERA in 52 innings for Worcester. Only 30 strikeouts & a 1.635 WHIP.
He was going to start for Worcester tonight, so at least he stretched out & ready to pitch some innings if things get ugly I guess?
You guys will be excited to hear that Jake Faria has pitched 4 innings of scoreless relief for Worcester so far today with 6 strikeouts.

This seems to be a disaster mitigation strategy - getting you innings coverage in a loss. Or if you're on the good end of a blowout - maybe he steals an inning. But his stat line is awful. You're almost guaranteed runs if you plug him in. So there's no real wear-and-tear upside for the pitching staff if they're playing a competitive game.
Unless, as the tweets suggest, they think he's suddenly found the magic mix he's been missing since his AA campaign in 2021.
Game 99
On a wet Friday night, the game was suspended.
I truly feel bad for the fans who attended.
It was like Biblical rain that never ended.
We scored in the first then our lead was extended,
but, as skies turned darker, things quickly descended.
(Giving up Met homers is not recommended.)
Things resumed, but doomed by the efforts expended,
the Sox tried to come back but never transcended.
Our hitting and pitching never really blended,
leaving us lost and sad like we’d been unfriended.
Beating the Mets in game two sure would be splendid.
We’ve got the home field. Fenway must be defended.

I wouldn't, but Cora would. I would rather Kike no longer be on the team so Cora can't play him.
These poor Veterans have been subjected to so many horrors in their life and now they have to watch a Mets game.
I'm confused about something: Paxton only went 4 innings in his last start? Do I misremember? If yes, what was the explanation.
FTFY. The Sox have looked even worse than the Mets, losing four of five to the Cubs, A's, and Mets
What happened? Alonso walked and then he was out. Picked off? (I wish that they'd show reviews of those things, b/c when they aren't talking about the game I mute it and then I'm lost.) Edit: see now he struck out. The gameview I use is slow tonight.
He went into a deep freeze right after a batch of posters on the main board began talking up an extension.
Right after he was disturbed that he didn't make the All-Star team. FWIW, he should have.
