4/12 Rays/Sox. "Nice Streak You Got Going There. Shame if Anything Were to Happen to It."

[bosox188]

I think I heard Youk saying that play was on Casas. And this is whatever, but I'm pretty sure Casas started charging as soon as he saw the batter show bunt, which is what you see a 1B do a lot of the time in that situation. It's not like he knew the thing was about to be bunted directly back to Sale. Doesn't the 2B have to start moving to cover first as soon as he sees the batter showing bunt and the 1B charging? I might be wrong.

 

[patinorange]

Nice inning, Chris.

IHe has nothing at all. Pretty sad.

 

[Manramsclan]

This is just giving me bleak bleak feelings.

The Sox are a long way with competing with a team like this talent wise. I feel bad for Mayer, Rafaaela, and Bleis. It's almost like our whole organization rides on these guys panning out which they rarely do.

 

[Kliq]

Sale's stuff varying from meatballs to bat-losing-nastiness is very odd.

 

[Madmartigan]

Put Sale in the pen and see if can give you something. I think he’s done as a starter.

Bob Dalbec: Starting Red Sox Shortstop

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Bet he screams into his glove as he walks off the mound

 

[strek1]

Who is the top prospect in this year's draft?

It doesn't matter. Even if we get to pick them, they will turn into a bust.

 

[Ale Xander]

THey need Raffy to be superhuman to not get swept and he's in one of his high-K phases.

There’s Spahn and Sain and pray for rain

we have Verdugo and Devers and pray for . . . Walks?

 

[ObstructedView]

That wasn't his fault.

Bad gamethread posting by me. But I am disappointed that he’s not hitting to his potential. And I’m just mad at everybody.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Playing Dalbec at SS is like playing Franchy at first, it’s not putting either play in a position to succeed.

Which reminds me, why are we building with an eye on prospects who are in A ball with the third most valuable franchise in the sport again?

 

[Mantush]

I made the right choice going to yesterday’s game.

 

[WrenHorn]

Put Sale in the pen and see if can give you something. I think he’s done as a starter.

This is ultimately the play, IMO. I realize 2 starts is not a sufficient time to make the decision [nor is 3] -- but I doubt anyone thinks Sale is likely to give a better performance than Kutter Crawford at this point, at least not demonstrably so.

 

[Daniel_Son]

Playing Dalbec at SS is like playing Franchy at first, it’s not putting either play in a position to succeed.

I'd take this year's version of Franchy in a heartbeat

 

[GPO Man]

Bob Dalbec: Starting Red Sox Shortstop

Boegarts has to be laughing his ass off.

 

[LesterFan]

Kind of crazy how their top prospect who's only pitching cause of injuries is better than anyone we have.

 

[Daniel_Son]

Just hang around .500 until Bello comes back. Please.

 

[TimScribble]

Who is the top prospect in this year's draft?

This year actually has some good college ones at the top. LSU’s Paul Skenes, Tennessee’s Chase Dollander, Wake’s Rhett Lowder… but the Red Sox didn’t tank far enough last year for it to matter for this draft.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Yu Chang (Yu Chang Yu Chang)
Hasn't changed his place in this world

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Bobby’s glasses are those x-ray specs from Mad magazine.

 

[Ale Xander]

Owner is spending all his money in the EPL and NHL (the latter not well I may add)

 

[The Filthy One]

This year actually has some good college ones at the top. LSU’s Paul Skenes, Tennessee’s Chase Dollander, Wake’s Rhett Lowder… but the Red Sox didn’t tank far enough last year for it to matter for this draft.

Shit, you're right. I'll have to get excited about next year's draft.

 

[DaveRoberts'Shoes]

There’s Spahn and Sain and pray for rain

we have Verdugo and Devers and pray for . . . Walks?

Verdugo and Devers and pray for… whatevers

Not great, I’m still workshopping it

 

[reggiecleveland]

Every game A Sale pitches makes me think that $ could have been spent on Mookie

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

The Captain!

 

[Redkluzu]

Finally, QuiQue

 

[Ale Xander]

This year actually has some good college ones at the top. LSU’s Paul Skenes, Tennessee’s Chase Dollander, Wake’s Rhett Lowder… but the Red Sox didn’t tank far enough last year for it to matter for this draft.

And again Pitt will draft the signable one not the best one

 

[JOBU]

Bout fucking time Kikè.

 

[mauidano]

Kike finally getting lucky.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

So they're leaving him to try to get the coveted "winning" decision? Pitch count limit was supposed to be 60.

 

[worm0082]

The ad patch looks like a piece of duct tape.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Kike gonna ask to keep that ball?

 

[The Filthy One]

It's 0-2 before any of the Sox even step in the box.

 

[Redkluzu]

OKAY Keep it going

 

[TimScribble]

Shit, you're right. I'll have to get excited about next year's draft.

Right, got caught dream casting as well the other week and realized the same thing. Wouldn’t matter, Boston would just draft a SS anyways.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

SMASH ONE THE FUCK ON OUT OF HERE, RAFAEL!

 

[JOBU]

Would be a good time to take this kid deep Devers

 

[worm0082]

What was that about?

 

[JCizzle]

Just when I'm about to catch up on TV shows, THEY PULL ME BACK IN! C'mon Raffy.

 

[Daniel_Son]

Oh fuck off

 

[azsoxpatsfan]

Just when I'm about to catch up on TV shows, THEY PULL ME BACK IN! C'mon Raffy.

I was going to switch to something else after the inning, then they scored just enough so that I’m going to keep watching but I’m still pissed

 

[strek1]

Just when I'm about to catch up on TV shows, THEY PULL ME BACK IN! C'mon Raffy.

Don't fall for it. Sale's gonna give them back.

 

[Daniel_Son]

Gameday says Kelly is in

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Gameday says Kelly is in

Gameday, in this case, is dead-on-balls accurate.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Wow, they botch an easy DP and the next pitch is a double to score the run.

 

[The Filthy One]

Middle-middle: The 2023 Red Sox Story.

 

[Rovin Romine]

I'm starting to think the main problem with Dalbec playing SS is that it displaced Hernandez to CF.

 

[strek1]

Don't fall for it. Sale's gonna give them back.

Or Kelly can give them back.

 

[normstalls]

Just brutal. Inning shoulda been over.

 

[LogansDad]

This is awful. I am apoplectic.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Nice roster, Chaim. When is it gonna be awesome, exactly?
