vs. RED SOX 5/23

[Brendan25]

After looking at it again I'm not sure he could have gone any further inside without hitting the runner/and the runner moving. I don't think it was the greatest of throws but it looks like the angle was where it needed to be (and where Wieters was set).

Plus he caught it in his belly and had to release it quickly. Don't think he had a great grip on it.

That's what I mean about a poor relay. Avery's throw was tough for Dino to handle, and then the throw had a tail on it. If Youk is running hard the whole time, he is safe.

I will take it though. The speed of the relay was pretty quick, it just didn't look that good.

Three innings in an hour and twenty minutes.

Hey...let's keep running into outs....that's 3 this game.

[AgentOrange]

What's wrong with Arrieta now? He's so inconsistent and so overrated. Britton will replace Hunter, and that's okay, but we just don't know when the light will go on for Jake.

I feel like this is not the first time you have said this and I am not sure why you keep doing it. Half the people on this site think Jake is a back of the rotation / closer type arm. That is pretty much what he is looking like.

So, that's three outs we've run into in this game. 2 CS and the line drive DP. Bard probably saved 10 pitches thanks to that. We are helping him out.

In fairness, we also ran ourselves into one of our two runs.

This is exactly why I hate playing the Sox and Yanks. The games seem to take forever. Even last night's game lasted over 3 hours. It was 2-1 for most of the game too.

I thought the line drive DP was mostly tough luck on our part. That ball certainly looked like it was going to be a single up the middle. But yeah, the CS's are not helping the cause, at all.

I was at the game and their was only nine hits and three runs but alot of pitching changes and meetings.

You're probably right. Kinda sailed/awkward looking type throw.

[Runs2the1Show]

Arrieta just doesn't have it today. I hope he can find a way to at least go 6 without giving up more than 3 runs. It would help if he could retire the lead off guy once or twice.

[El Gordo]

I keep hoping Jake will remember how to pitch one of these innings. More fool I.

[JDubs]

You have to be smarter there. With his speed and the fact that its 2 outs, he should score on a base hit. No reason to take 3rd with 2 outs.

Why have Avery steal 3B on a 3-1 count with 2 outs?

So he can steal home. Duh!

[Going Underground]

Does the crowd look big today?
