7/16 Sox @ Twinkies 2:00PM Let’s get over .500!!


Recommended Posts

Okay two positives:

1. if the Sox lose the next two, there’s more of a chance that they pull TLR out of the dugout. 

 

2. If the Sox come back and win this game, that’ll likely be the spark they need to start playing to their potential. 

 

That’s all I got.

Amazing how it’s the vets that keep letting this team down.

 

 

with a big exception of Abreu.

Have to really work hard to stay in this game past your mid-thirties anymore.

Ironic that Lynn’s only about half the way to Kaat’s 25 years and might be nearing the end,

Did not expect Lynn to be the worst starter in baseball this year. Hope he’s just getting back from injury and lack of spring training or something…

Looking for a Guaranteed Rate commercial I guess.

That’s really not even close to an example of irony. Couldn’t be less related.

Homers rule in this series.  Need strong pitching to minimize homers. Not with Lynn though.  Sox normally have an advantage over the Twins in pitching and the Twins have an advantage in power/ homers.  Lynn is now our 5 th starter not good enough to rein in the Twins.

If you give up 5 runs in an inning, does the ump even bother checking if you were using the sticky stuff?

Do they take away the runs if he finds sticky stuff or double the runs scored?

Fwiw, Lynn wasn’t very good when he signed with the Twins in mid to late March, either.

So this isn’t a total shocker.  Restarting mid year is never easy unless you are in pretty top physical condition like a Luis Robert.

Lynn is carrying too much weight for his age and those knees.  Sox also do not have the best trainers in the bigs.

With Lynn becoming a gas can and kopech needing clear rest the second half this rotation is in a lot of trouble. Cueto really has been a godsend.

Giolito is not that solid either.
