4/10 Game 10 Rays/Sox

[YTF]

Do I have to like these short games?

Would you rather hang around for another half hour for the same result?

Was pretty much expecting a shutout tonight so lol.

I need to look at Raffy's splits in high leverage - it feels like it's much less than his overall stats.

They could have played for 6 hours tonight and the Red Sox still wouldn't have scored.

 

[Merkle's Boner]

It's not even 9:00?? What the hell am I going to do tonight?

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Hell for the Boston Red Sox, no matter the year, is inning after inning of LHPs throwing offspeed stuff off the plate.

He was jobbed on one of them to be fair.

Seriously what the fuck is going on in Tampa? I’m pretty sure they could throw me out there and I’d throw a few shutout innings.

27 scoreless innings in a row by Rays pitching.

Rob Refsnyder batting 5th tells us this line up isn't going to strike fear into opposing teams.

 

[54thMA]

Pretty unreal how fucking annoying this team is and always has been despite never winning anything.

Couldn't agree more, this Rays team is beyond annoying; have been, always will be.

Beating them in the ALDS in 2021 was so fucking sweet.

 

[Ale Xander]

Please no more Enrique in the leadoff spot.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

I know it’s not the best players to do it with, but I would have liked to have seen Cora try to manufacture a run in that 8th inning. Let Verdugo try and steal or bunt with Arroyo. He likely scores on Dalbec’s single.

It’s Devers and a bunch of other guys. I know lineup order doesn’t matter that much but the team could really use a leadoff hitter and clean up hitter.

 

[Ale Xander]

Rays:
25 HR
18 R allowed

That doesn't seem to be sustainable.

Verdugo has stolen one base (and been caught three times) since the beginning of ‘22. For whatever reason, the Sox don’t seem to be emphasizing stealing bases as part of the offense.

Got the wrong guy from St Pete. Needed to snag Cash instead of Bloom.

 

[larmar123]

I think the Rays are doing better since they got rid of Bloom.

 

[Ale Xander]

Got the wrong guy from St Pete. Needed to snag Cash instead of Bloom.

Or even Snyder

Snyder. Their pitching is cheap and outstanding.

236-158, 3 playoff appearances, 1 pennant.

307 is the team record for HRs. Rays are on pace to hit 405.

Freaking Sudbury Blueberry Bulldogs. They may never lose again.

 

[Sandy Leon Trotsky]

Wong resembles a young Ronnie Lane, and hits like present-day Ronnie Lane.

This needs to be acknowledged
