Kopech vs Woo

This series will probably be indoors.

Go Sox?

Apple TV? FFS

Absolutely horrific weather for the series. I won't be bothering to go. It's going to be in the damn 40s on Sunday.

Just looking over the lineup

Watching the losses grow

Thinkin' how it all looks hand-me-down.

 

 

 

 

 

Roof closed and a heavy air settling over the city as we head into the weekend. Mariners pitching is decent. Over under on total runs scored this series from the Sox? 12 imo.

Yesterday really hurt. IDK why I am even going to watch. Should of had 2/3 in LA.

I think I’d take the under.

I predict the Sox hit four HR and score three. 

Twins getting their ass beat again....looks like we'll either cut it to 4.5 back or be tied with the Tigers

The Central divisions are an embarrassment to baseball. And people really want to go to 4-team divisions someday? f*** that.

Twins going to keep Shohei out of the postseason? Good lord. Get a clue, MLB.

No Liam, likely until July at the earliest was the final death nail to any hope at a .500 June through the hard part of the schedule.

Don't think they have the balls for total mid-season tank trades (Benintendi, Burger, Cease, Crochet, Eloy, Kopech, Robert Jr.), but still could be looking at an 8/1 roster of:

• Catchers: Perez, Zavala; DH: Sheets vs. RH, resting player vs. LH.
• Infield: 1B Vaughn; 2B Gonzalez; SS Andrus; 3B Burger; Reserve: Sosa.
• Outfield: LF Benintendi; CF Robert Jr.; RF Jimenez; Reserves: Frazier; Hamilton.
• Rotation: Cease; Kopech; Scholtens. (Final Two Charlotte Guys, DFA pickups or garbage trade return players).
• Bullpen: Banks; Bummer; Crochet; Lambert; Lopez; Middleton; Padilla or Peralta; Santos.
• Traded and/or Season Ending IL: Anderson; Clevinger; Foster; Giolito; Grandal; Graveman; Hendriks; Kelly; Lynn; Martin; Moncada,

I think I like that projected roster better than the current one.

Anderson still hitting 1st. Try. Something. Different. Pedro.

Showcasing for a trade.

Pedro is risk averse and afraid to confront players.  He “trusts” them to do the right things. In the meantime, no adjustments and we keep losing with more of the same.

At least playing the better teams hasn't been a total disaster so far. Took the series against the Yankees and couldve easily won 2 of 3 against the Marlins and Dodgers . Very cpmpetive games for the most part but losing teams find a way to lose more often than they find ways to win.

Sox will likely look like the Walking Dead tonight unless they can light this Woo kid up.

Reminder you can switch Apple TV audio to either radio broadcast if you don’t care to listen to D Train babble. Pause, then Lower right hand corner.

hot start

582 Tim

672 Benintendi

 

2023 Rays have the exact same 50-22 record as the 2005 White Sox and 2001 Mariners at this point in the season. 

 

Brewers Pirates Reds all battling each other and .500 for first place.  Cubs 2 1/2 back suddenly.  Make that three.  Someone has to be 1 over.

Sorry, Luis. The umps have decided you are simply not allowed to take borderline pitches.

Just like I don't question players' health based on how bad this organization has managed health issues, these decisions could be Pedro's or could very well be Hahn's, who likes to meddle in s%*# he had no clue with, including the Game 3 in Oakland debacle and throughout Ricky's tenure. 

Tony wasn't going to answer to someone as clueless as Hahn, and Jerry backed Tony. Hahn didn't like being cut out, and that is why Pedro is here and not someone with more stature who wouldn't put up with Hahn's clueless bullshit like Bruce Bochy, who the Sox weren't interested in after 2020 or 2022.

Solid Double Play by Andrus and Anderson.

#DefenseMatters

Kopech at 94-95 to start the game. 

Last out at 96.
