Series Thread: Sox vs Rays

[Lake Shore Drive]

Just got back and noticed that no one posted a series thread. Damn, already down 2-0.

Is Yoan hurt? I'm surprised he's not out there facing the righty Glasnow.

Saw that he was “ill”.

Saw that he was “ill”.

Hope it's nothing more than a bug or something. Man, that's 4 of our 8 positional starters not suited up for this opening game of this killer series.

 

[Lake Shore Drive]

Not Lance's night tonite. Down 3-0 against Glasnow. Not ready to call it a game yet, but it's not looking good for our boys.

WTF Jose, that pitch was 2 ft out of the strike zone. Geez.

Oh well, at least we got a couple of 'em back.

he does that a LOT!

 

[Lake Shore Drive]

he does that a LOT!

I don't mind a swinging k, but that pitch was just way, way out of the strike zone. I'll bet even I would have laid off that one.

Can't keep leaving men on base against this Rays club.

 

[idseer]

wow! i heard lynn's foul mouth from virginia!

 

[idseer]

again, abreu swung at a pitch two feet away and down. he's a complete sucker with two strikes for that wasted pitch and i'd be surprised if the whole league didn't know it.

 

[Lake Shore Drive]

That dinger was a backbreaker. Not sure we could come back from a single run down against this club, but two? Just doesn't seem to be our night.

 

[idseer]

tim majorly fucks up. THAT probably broke the teams back!

 

[idseer]

lol. not in the cards tonight.

 

[Lake Shore Drive]

Hey, there's a reason the Rays have the best record in baseball. When you play these guys you have to be on top of your game.

 

[Jiddy]

Yeah...That game sucked.

You can't be sloppy playing the Bay Rays.

Jose will continue to see the outwardly breaking slider until he lays off of it and takes some Grandals (walks). It is perhaps concerning he is not reading the spin of the ball well enough to lay off. Abreu can also split the difference and just inside out some of those balls to the opposite field - which he does sometimes.

Eloy could be playing by Aug 1st that would be sweet. At DH - I hope to protect his arm.

Keuchel might match up better with the Rays.

 

[Mingo]

The Sox aren't playing the Death Rays - I smell a win tonight.

 

[Mingo]

Keuchel looking pretty good tonight.

Aggressive baseball pays off and the Sox score two with plays at the plate
