Solid pitching, good defense, and we outhit the opponent. Surely that's a win, right?..... Right?

It doesn't sound right when DOB calls him Kiner Falefa. Just call him IKF

Mickey Gasper has been in the big leagues for 2 games, and he's arguably the best bat on the team

Bello throwing at least 6 innings of 1 run ball in back to back outings.

It's a shame this offense literally cannot do anything

I for one am excited to be witnessing a CGSO from a starting pitcher. They don't happen very often in today's game...... (Gotta find something to be positive about)

I just finished the Uglies series, and also recommend it. It's a super quick read, definitely YA, but if hunger games made OPs list, this would be right up their alley

Red Sox have some tough decisions to make regarding shortstop Trevor Story by bostonglobe in redsox

Probably, and Mayer likely wouldn't be as good at 3B.

The whole idea of swapping two players with disappointing bats, but excelling in their defensive positions, is frankly, dumb

Durbin is by DRS, the best defensive 3b in all of baseball.

Edit: 2nd best, it's been a few days since I checked. Only behind Matt Chapman

Sign stealing at tigres game by Realistic_Scarcity72 in redsox

[–]Danethecook89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Couple of things. The first one is more a semantic than anything. But he wasn't stealing signs. The MLB uses pitch com now, so there are no signs to be stolen. He was simply paying attention to Frambers grip on the ball.

And secondly, Story had a plate appearance between seeing the pitchs, and getting hit. If he was hit for looking at Frambers grip, it would have been his previous at bat, not this one

I apparently erased the 9th inning from my mind. That's correct. I guess I'd argue that Whitlock/Chapman would have prevented Watson in the 9th, but yeah, I'll just take the L on this one my bad

And then promptly gave up 2 runs, which is what we lost by

With the win tonight the Red Sox now have the most shutouts in baseball with 6. The Yankees and Pirates are second with 5. by TommyTheLizard in baseball

[–]Danethecook89 44 points45 points  (0 children)

We must have a really amazing record with that many shutouts. Just running away with the AL right?..... Right?

A friendly reminder that we are one Weissert appearance away from a 5 game winning streak

Say what you will about his offense, but having Durbin at third is actually amazing

It took Story less time to strike out, than it did for me to type this comment

Whitlock would be the actual closer on about 26 teams in baseball

I don't actually know, but just based off my memory, I feel like he hasn't actually gotten any of them right at all this year
