Rodon vs. Burnes

Hopefully the team comes out with some fire after yesterday!

Edited July 24, 20214 yr by BigHurt3515

Let’s strive mightily to win.

I think we will be a bit more lively today. Just get that sense.

Need to get bullpen help....priority #1

Remember how bad we felt after being swept in Houston?  A week later we were feeling cocky and self-satisfied.  It's never easy to feel good after getting outplayed in every way.  Keep the faith that the FO is working on our shortcomings as we speak.  Help is on the way.

 

Goodwin better be on the bench for a while.  

4 for his last 27.  

Engel needs to be in CF and Sheets in RF.  

6:10 though...

That is what I thought, but when I created the thread I went to the Sox website and could have sworn it said 7:10, it now says 6:10

Of course Goodwin and his lack of hitting is still playing.  At least 1-5 are mlb hitters.  6-9 ?

 

For the love of god, can people start acknowledging Zack Collins is a good hitter against RHP?  Dude has a 128 wRC+ against righties, which is the same as Tim, better than Jose (117), Grandal (116), & most of the other guys on the roster.  Rip his defense / receiving / framing, but the dude is a legit good strong-side platoon hitter.

We're gonna get all the calls tonight after Tony got thrown out last game. That's baseball 101.

If you’re at the tailgate. Come say Hi, I’m in a gray Anderson jersey and in ray bans. Black dude. can’t miss me.

Don't you mean none of the calls and TLR gonna get the heave ho again?

Nope. Tony is the reason why the Sox never get calls. If he would complain more to the umps and get thrown out, they'd get way more strike calls than they do. 

We shit the bed in Game 1 vs Houston when they came to town, and then curb stomped them the final two. Let’s hope for a repeat of that. 

Lets come in and put up a crooked number in the first

It’s kind of scary how good Burnes is.  Dude has made 16 starts and has given up zero runs five times, one run six times, two runs one time, four runs three times, and five runs one time.  Like he barely walks anyone (1.50/9) and doesn’t give up home runs (three all year).  We’re going to need Rodon to be lights out tonight because I can’t see us getting more than two runs off Corbin.

Feels like something flukey will need to happen in order for the Sox to score more than 2 runs today. Burnes is unbelievably good.

TLR is obsessive about lefties facing righties no matter what. At least Goodwin is not hitting cleanup like he previously did for several games.

Tony's bitching already paying dividends. 

Name a better duo: Abreu with 2 strikes swinging at junk that bounces 4 feet in front of the plate

Burnes is great but at least make him throw it 60 feet.  Not a lot of energy from Abreu up there.
