Seattle Mariners @ Boston Red Sox May 19-22

[sutz]

And off to challenge the Green Monster in Beantown. Kirby vs Hill.

 

[Jerhawk]

Let's go Kirby! We got this!

 

[sutz]

ON now.

 

[sutz]

Top 2, Dylan Moore with a 3 run dinger over the Green Monster. 3-0 M's.

But this is Fenway, it's probably not enough.

2 out, Frazier walk, scores from 1st on a double by Ty France. 4-0.

 

[sutz]

BoSox get 2 back on a homer bottom 2.

 

[sutz]

Tied up bottom 3. 4-4

 

[sutz]

Bottom 6. 5-4 Sox on a bad throw from Julio to 3rd, E8.

 

[sutz]

Mills comes in bottom 7 and throws 8 consecutive balls to walk in run 7 for the Sox.

Then he hits a batter to score another.

M's no scoring since top 2.

 

[sutz]

Well, this one's gone.

 

[Jerhawk]

Man, the bullpen took one on the chin today.
The bats finally show up, but the pitching lets the team down.

One day they'll have both pitching and hitting do well in the same game

 

[sutz]

Well, 5 runs just ain't enough at Fenway any way you look at it. Got off to a decent start, but all those blank innings in the middle of the game killed us.

Its the damn pitchers every time... for the last 2 years..
But I mean.. our bullpen is stout... Embarrassing.

 

[Sports Hernia]

On the bright side, looks like Julio is the real deal.

 

[Shanegotyou11]

Sad gm

 

[Flyingsquad23]

On the bright side, looks like Julio is the real deal.

He will bring a couple “for sure” prospects when they trade him and Mitch at the deadline…

Seriously though the kid can hit.

 

[sutz]

Game 2 First pitch now.

 

[Sports Hernia]

Not impressed with Ray so far. Just gave up a grand slam. How did this guy win the CY Young award last year?

 

[sutz]

Ray has "one bad inning" syndrome.

He cruises and then has one really awful inning.

Not exactly sure how he won the cy young as he really only throws two pitches and doesn’t throw that hard. And it’s not like he pitched against cupcakes last year, he was in the AL East. Looks like Toronto may have made the right decision going with Gausman instead of Ray.

Still a lot of season left but he hasn’t looked like an ace. Going by numbers he is like our fourth best starting pitcher.

 

[sutz]

Ray gets a lot of K's though. IIRC he led the AL last year. And he eats innings. He generally gets 5-6 innings minimum.
