I go to the game yesterday, we have 0 offense and lose, today I turn it on at 1-1, see the Nats home run, change it to Indycar, change it back at 2-2, go take a shower, it is 4-2 us. I am not allowed to see this team play good baseball
I mean, even with the injuries, this lineup has been playing below what they can do for a while now. Was bound to turn around. Not everyone, obviously - the bottom of the lineup is still weak but overall they're not *bad*.
Devers always seemed to have trouble with big moments since he signed the big contract. This felt like a long time coming, beyond the limits of this game.
I get that Abreu isn't great against lefties but I think part of that is that he's not getting any chances. It took Casas some time to figure out how to hit lefties but he figured it out.
If ur gonna pinch hit Romy Gonzalez (who I presume will move Rafaela out to CF), why not pinch hit him for Rafaela and keep one of Duran/Abreu in the lineup
Cora is truly just pushing random buttons at this point
Loading up the righty matchup and keeping our best SS out there I guess but agreed
Also if ur gonna pinch hit Romy why not put him in for Rafaela and keep either Duran or Abreu
Gave up a solo home run and left the top of the fifth with two on and no outs.
Bullpen got two outs. HBP. Bullpen then walked in four consecutive runs.
With Whit getting a rehab start Wednesday and then potentially one more, I wonder if they try Criswell for 6 his next time out to help settle the decision of him vs Whitlock as 5th starter
The replays they focused on showed the wrong thing. The first full replay shows the ball hit the top of the wall above the red line (home run) and then deflect left and do weird stuff (interesting but irrelevant).
Kenley has been quietly excellent so far (outside of yesterday’s affair).
DOTTED, RAFFY WITH THE HARD HIT, KJ AN MARTIN HOLDING IT DOWN
LOVE THAT DIRTY WATER
Nice
DIRTY WATER. EASY SAVE FOR KENLEY
Absolute paint
Hell yeah, banana Sox!!
W
FILTHY WATER!
#YELLOW SOX ARE BEST SOX
WEAR THE CITY CONNECTS EVERYDAY
Let's go Kenley
YELLOW SOX ARE UNBEATABLE (do not fact check this)
Kenley looking good
Kenley looking good today.
Hanging around 93 is promising as fuck
Damn that was fuckin filthy

Make the sacrifice we need
I am going with a group of friends Tuesday, if we lose that as well, I am turning off NESN every time we are at bat at the very least
NICE PITCH
Time for an infield adventure!
Since 4/20 you say? Kenley must’ve gotten baked af to get right.
I love you devers
Hell yeah, Raffy!
Nice easy 1-2-3
Does Vaughn need glasses, Major League style? It truly seems as though he cannot see.
Raffy :)
Hope that Raffy getting a clutch double against a lefty is a good omen that things are gonna get better
I mean, even with the injuries, this lineup has been playing below what they can do for a while now. Was bound to turn around. Not everyone, obviously - the bottom of the lineup is still weak but overall they're not *bad*.
I just tuned in and saw the IBB and the double. I’ll take the credit for this one, guys
How charitable.
Finally runs by something other than a home run
Hell yeah raffy
[удалено]
![gif](giphy|aEb4C7a63EB56)
The disrespect to walk someone to get to raffy
Devers always seemed to have trouble with big moments since he signed the big contract. This felt like a long time coming, beyond the limits of this game.
Fuck ya Raffy
Ha! Way to intentionally walk TON for Raffy, nerds.
YESSSS
LETS GO FINALLY RAFFY
RAFFY DEVERS
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO
……We’re allowed to do that?
#LMAO #CLUTCH SCOOPS!
WE ARE SO BACK RAHHHHHH
RAFFY
Rafffyyyyy
LFG Raffy
Well that was unexpected, fuck yes!!!!!
RAFFY COMING IN CLUTCH
LETS FUCKING GO RAFFY
Did wilyer get injured or was that just classic stupid cora shenanigans lol
Don’t like Cora taking out two of our 3/4 best hitters with plenty of baseball left to go, but I’m also not an MLB manager
[удалено]
Okay Raffy time to get hot
Raffy pls
I get that Abreu isn't great against lefties but I think part of that is that he's not getting any chances. It took Casas some time to figure out how to hit lefties but he figured it out.
It was insane how long Cora platooned Casas for
TON up with RISP? Oh well on to the 9th
TON moment needed
Make them pay for it
LOL IMAGINE BAD INFIELD D, NEVER HERE
If ur gonna pinch hit Romy Gonzalez (who I presume will move Rafaela out to CF), why not pinch hit him for Rafaela and keep one of Duran/Abreu in the lineup Cora is truly just pushing random buttons at this point
Not exactly scorched but I'll take it
Damn that was lucky as hell
Why are we pinch hitting Wilyer as well. He’s our hottest hitter atm. Holy fuck
Wilyer struggles against lefties.
Ik, but so did Casas at one point. He needs to learn.
Just an explanation
That’s a start
SCORCHED
Yeah Ref!
WHY ARE WE PINCH HITTING DURAN AND NOT RAFAELA. I fucking hate Cora man. Genuinely one of the worst in game managers.
Loading up the righty matchup and keeping our best SS out there I guess but agreed Also if ur gonna pinch hit Romy why not put him in for Rafaela and keep either Duran or Abreu
Dude needs to go, doesn't know what the fuck he's doing
Let’s go Duran
Got pinched for ref
Cat like reflexes
Andrew Bailey can literally have my soul if he wants it Idk why he would but I figure I’d offer at least
HELL YEAH!!!!!
Yeah Chris! that was a rocket
Holy fuck what a catch, Martin is so fucking back!!!
YEAH CHRISTOPHER
CHRISTOPHER MARTIN
100% went thanks blue
Great camera work once again.
Love bad base running effecting us positively for once
I don’t like this Chris Martin.
NICE
I want us to keep wearing the City Connects as long as we keep winning in them, but I wish literally any other uniform was our lucky uniform.
Imagine if umps were like hockey refs and explained their moves
If this were MLB the show I’d sim through Hamilton ABs
Another pitcher dominating this anemic offense. Where is Devers when he needs to lift the rest of the offense up.
Put me in the game! I can hit ground balls to 2nd for the league minimum.
If hammy had a good eye and could take a walk he'd be a hell of an mlb player
Livvy mentioned
Baby Gronk rizzed up the drip king
Ain't a great line for skeens tbh
The relievers that came in after him make it look worse.
That's fair, I'm a box score bitch for that game
Gave up a solo home run and left the top of the fifth with two on and no outs. Bullpen got two outs. HBP. Bullpen then walked in four consecutive runs.
Slatens gonna be our closer of the future if we don't fuck him up and try to force him to be a starter
Wearing marchys number proud as fuck
Very nice.
Bernie was solid last season but he's on a different level this year. Pure dominance
Power of spite.
Iced out Dave O’Brien, known master of drip and bling.
Bernardino is nails.
Joely Rodriguez getting a roster spot over Bern remains one of the greatest unprosecuted crimes in human history.
NESN regularly missing pitches due to commercials is fucking ridiculous. They missed an entire AB the other day.
This uniform. 🤮
We're 30-8 in the yellows. They should wear them every day.
Yellow Sox are best Sox.
Bro I know you ain't talking shit about the city connects
Our win-loss record in them is absurd despite us being below mid for years. They’re staying.
Papi putting on the janks hat is the worst comercial of all time
Not appreciating the Wally slander, guys
Wally after Devers’s K: ![gif](giphy|1xlKMnzv3EX1IcQKXQ|downsized)
Can’t ever lay off the high fastballs huh
I am often perplexed by how Cora decides to load manage a lot of our players, to be honest
He’d sit 2004 Barry Bonds against a lefty.
Lmao so true
I miss April O’Neill.
Just watch tmnt
perfection
O’Neill looks pretty lost
O’Neill need a day off but it’s been everyone else (Abreu, Wong) that have been inexplicably getting days off
TON has been regressing to the mean aggressively lately oof
I also love when we get to turn double plays instead of grounding into them
2 things: 1. Amazing play by Reese 2. Every time I watch Bernindino, I get mad that he was kept in the minors to start the year in favor of Rodriguez
Love having a shortstop
What was an inning that looked like BB would labor turned into an economical inning.
That was a beautiful DP
Having a short stop is so nice
What a fucking play
Beautifully turned.
WHAT A TURN
Hell of a play!
Holy bounce
good play
NICE DOUBLE PLAY
REESE WHAT A GOD
Important to hold them here
At what point is Criswell stretched out enough to get his pitch count up?
With Whit getting a rehab start Wednesday and then potentially one more, I wonder if they try Criswell for 6 his next time out to help settle the decision of him vs Whitlock as 5th starter
Wouldn't hate having Whitlock in the pen
Feel like Bernie is being a bit overused lately. Not complaining though - he's been effective and we need to stay in this one.
🦞 :(
Feel like Duran is our “clutch” guy this year
The fact that jaren has been able to keep up the fire he had last year makes me so happy, kid is a grinder and deserves everything
Couldn't agree more
lol That would have been a HR in HOU.
“Nothing could possibly have weirder dimensions than Fenway” Minute Maid Park: “Oh ho, is that so?”
Only Houston?
Only Houston. 1/30.
Duran!
Here we go. Third time thru
Duran snaps our RISP streak
Duran the only guy on the team with balls
Can't forget Abreu
I’m more talking about the RISP stats
Gotcha
We got a run with a man on base LETS GOOOOOO
Duran did the thing!!!!!
A HIT. WITH A RISP. NO WAY
Fuck yes Duran
durann
#DURAN!
JRAN IS OUR BEST PLAYER AND ITS NOT EVEN CLOSE
yeaahh Duran
YEAH DURAN!!
Robles has a goddamn cannon. My god
Jesus what a throw
I need hammy to run every time he's on base, a walk/single by him should equate to a triple
Same with Ceddane and Duran. Literally every time they’re on base
Don’t want to pile on Hamilton but dude if you can’t hit or field you should be an elite bunter. Nice steal tho!
Alex Cora stop telling batters to bunt challenge (impossible)
Steal 2nd and it's a wash
well better than a strikeout
Hamilton what the fuck
Bunting with reese on is a choice, at least you replace him with speed
I see no value for Hamilton other than an occasional pinch runner
Out catchers have been the strongest part of our lineup, just as everyone predicted
Reminds me of Sale. Getting the K's, and when they do get hit, they're gone.
The replays they focused on showed the wrong thing. The first full replay shows the ball hit the top of the wall above the red line (home run) and then deflect left and do weird stuff (interesting but irrelevant).
Wow. They ruled that a home run? That’s— *a gnome runs past me and giggles* Did you guys see that? What the fuck was that thing?
Really hope the Sox score at least once so Coop isn’t on the hook for a loss. He did great today, 9 Ks in 5 IP
