My 1st effort at a game thread this year. Need to get back on a winning track or looking at next years draft and hoping to do badly threads will be popping up all over Soxtalk.

 

Sale has to be a stopper tonight.

Why is Gillaspie batting 7th now?? He has the highest average on the team. I guess we are facing a lefty today so it makes sense but didn't he bat lower in the line up yesterday too?

Breaking up the section of the line up that was all slumping at once, I am guessing.

Better question is why the f*** is Viciedo batting cleanup?

He usually does vs LHP. Not really a better option.

I hate when the Sox play the Orioles. Seems like it's a formality that a closer blows a save and the O's walk it off.

How the hell is the Sox collection of talent supposed to win one on the road vs. Balt after losing four to a hellhole team like Minnesota? Answer. Sox can't. So pencil in 3 losses. I assume it's a 3 game series. Of course Sale might shut out anybody so I guess one win is possible.

Bobby Jenks probably had really decent numbers after stripping his outings against Baltimore.

 

7.02 career ERA against Baltimore. I expected it to be even worse than that.

And suddenly, all my worries are gone.

Yeah, we are going to sweep the O's!

Do not sully the game thread with your negativity . And that goes for the rest of you too.

That's more like it.

I feel infinitely more confident against the Orioles than I do the Royals or Twins. We seem to play to our opponent's level. We play well against good teams, we play bad against bad teams.

I'm thing about taking the Sox tonight at the (-1 1/2).

 

What do you guys think?

Yeah, we are going to sweep the O's!

 

 

I am counting on it

ask greg775

And then do the opposite.

2-0 BAL

Balt 2-0 road trip from hell continues.

Sale threw a 24-pitch 1st inning.

Chris not fooling them do far

It's amazing how many fans have left the orioles. Good team, ace pitcher, nice night and a rather empty park.

When do we hear the first Cy Chen reference? I'll guess the 4th inning.

 

LOL ok, wrong Chen. Same idea though.
