Thought for sure Richards would be gone after last inning. Pitch count up there and was all over the place lat inning until Sands swung at ball 4 and Avila couldnt catch up to the heat.

Bring him back out there for 8. Give Albers and Jones the day off after going yesterday.

 

Jones pitched quite a bit while Albers was under 10 pitches I believe. I wouldn't have Jones up today but I'm not a manager

Unless we break this thing open, I would send Sale out for the 8th.

A good offense would have tagged him for 5 runs by now.

Yeah, he's made a couple good pitches on breaking balls but he's pretty much been all fastball today.

 

He is Padres property.

 

He has the right to leave for an MLB deal. Padres get first chance of putting him on the MLB team however.

Unless we break this thing open, I would send Sale out for the 8th.

Agreed

After everything that happened this offseason, it's kind of funny that Desmond and AJackson are a few players tied for next to worse WAR in all of baseball (Aybar is off to an amazing start)

Jones threw 19 pitches yesterday

The bunt is paying off today, as is the SB.

Easton's beard is too long. He's looking like LaRoche.

Nice hit by him, though.

Nice to see the Sox bunting and moving players over again. It's been a foreign concept to this team for too many years.

 

Why didnt Eaton bunt like that when AJAX was on 2nd with no out?

Bah.

Unless we break this thing open, I would send Sale out for the 8th.

 

I'm not pulling Sale until a runner reaches 2nd base.

Ah the curse of the game thread ovation...

 

1. Home run first time up

2. Gets applauded by game thread

3. Go 0-fer for rest of game

 

Saladino with the weak crap there. He did homer earlier, though. I'd take a Sale eighth and Robertson ninth and 2-0 win.

MLBTV skipped during that AB. Did Saladino hit the ball hard right at someone?

Most routine DP ever 6-4-3. Horrible at bat.

Grounded into a double play

Yes, hard grounder

I wouldn't be warming up Jones right now. Not sure what Robin is thinking.

 

wuh-oh

 

Great start.

Sale out, Jones in.

Alright give him the hook.
