AL East Thread

Crochet with a no-hitter through 7.1IP, gives up a hit and Cora instantly pulls him at 96 pitches. Whitlock comes in and promptly gives up hits to the first 2 guys he faces. Why can’t Crochet finish the 8th? If he throws 105 pitches is that so much more concerning than 96 pitches? This over managing and overuse of the bullpen sucks.

Who loses a series to the white Sox?

Hard to win when you make a zillion errors and can’t score. The offense and defense have been brutal! Pitching has mostly been OK.

Overall, they look like they are still in Spring Training. Luckily, nobody in the division is running away at the moment.

He probably stole Boone’s book on how to fuck things up…..

I think so. There was a time when I thought Cora was a great manager, but I gave that up long ago. He’s absolutely terrible. Useless.

Welp, Red Sox get the victory. Too bad they gave up a run when that clearly was strike 3

 

[nynasty]

Rodon isn’t bad but the frequency of the hr ball will continue to hurt him

2 bad pitches all game and led to 4 runs

His own damn fault. Why he's throwing that middling curveball there is anyone's guess

So much "Meh" in this division

At least it means it should be down to the wire at the end

O’s so far have looked straight up bad. Maybe this will lead to a firing or two. Morton has been bad, the 35yo japanese pitcher has been meh, half their starters are already out and injured, and they still swing for the fences way way WAY too much.

They got beat in two series by a jays team and a royals team that dont hit lots of homers but do work the counts.

Elias not spending much money on actual talent is gonna come bite them in the ass all year.

OTOH, the O’s are expecting 57392929year old Kyle Gibson to be ready to pitch sometime soon…

Does any of it matter though? Dodgers are gonna win it all anyway…

Dodgers have lost 6 of their last 9 and scored a whopping 5 runs in 3 games over the weekend. They might not be the super team we've been led to believe they are

It’s true that it’s only April.

Also true: my post matches the tone of pretty much everybody else’s on the board.

They also have a lot of injuries I think (not positive) and will undoubtedly bounce back.

Gonna be weird seeing Red Sox playing Tampa at Steinbrenner Field...

But weirder seeing the Yankees in the visiting dug out this weekend....

Just unbelievably bad. I’ve only had a chance to sit and watch a handful of games, but they have been just awful(beyond Crochet who is fantastic). Just a lifeless disinterested squad.
