Red Sox vs. Blue Jays - June 21, 2019

[Spanky99]

Whatever Grichuk ate for breakfast this morning needs to continue

 

3 multiple hit games in a row, no? 3 of 5 with Dinger's in between.

 

Still good.

[Ray]

Thornton looks like he’s gonna stick.

 

Fill up those 3-5 rotation spots with cheap younger types like him and Borucki, trade/sign for 2 top of the rotation guys. There’s your championship rotation.

[Orgfiller]

That was a filthy backdoor slider. The spin rate is real.

[Orgfiller]

Can't entirely blame Teoscar there although obviously he played that horribly, it's just such a dump of a park.

[Spanky99]

Teo doesn't know this park, it isn't fair to bust his balls.

[Abomination]

If Mookie had been running out of the box, he would have had a home run anyway.

Well said lol. Hard park. Played like s***. Thornton has been so good this eve. Nice job.

[Spanky99]

Meh... hard to say.

[glory]

Not going to blame Teoscar for that since the park is a s*** show, but letting Thornton face Betts in the 7th inning is very un Rays like (4th time through the order).

[BigCecil]

I agree but if we didn’t see him look similar so many times it is easier to give benefit of doubt. Brutal park out there though.

[TheHurl]

Open field no fences there....does anyone actually believe that Teo gets there. f*** excuses.

This would be nice.

[Orgfiller]

Ugh what a disgusting hit, now we're even Boston.

[Orgfiller]

Yes? Teoscar was basically there but had to pull up because of that stupid trapezoid fence in the middle of the field.

[Spanky99]

Personally, I'd have liked Trent finish the inning, ah well.

Yes, he was there???

[glory]

Can't wait until the 3 batter minimum. Manfred has that one right.

[Orgfiller]

Nah no way, fourth time through the order facing the very best hitters while his pitch count is high. Let him leave on a high note, if the bullpen blows it for him so be it, better them than him and shattering his confidence after a truly outstanding start.

[Acemeister79]

Montoya shoulda started the seventh with a new arm - even if he did get #9 hitter out. Against the Sox with a lead, use your resources and win the games you can. Don't think he has too much intuition at all...

Don't remind me.

Good point, can't argue with that.

I wouldn't have let him start the inning either, but definitely taken him out before facing Betts.

 

I don't think Montoyo is very analytical, but that's probably beating a dead horse considering the other aspects of his managing this season.

[Spanky99]

C'mon boys, figure it out.

[Spanky99]

lol... poop!

[Acemeister79]

And the wheels start falling off .

[Spanky99]

Poor Thornton.

[Spanky99]

Nice turn fellas!

[Orgfiller]

What the f*** Sogard? Also really surprised Drury made it to third standing up without a throw, what was JBJ doing?

[Abomination]

Sogard is on fire right now!

[5ToolPhenom]

Who would've thought he would be our best performer at the start of the season? I thought his start was just a little hot streak, but he's been damn consistent.
