Just started watching the game.

Looks like Lucas was fantastic again. How did he look to you guys?

I see unearned runs. Boston has absolutely awful defenders all over the diamond. How has that played into the results?

Thanks

Lucas looked f***ing great. If you can watch the replay I would suggest it because his body language as the game went on really stood out to me. 

Boston defense is bleh. Certainly played a role.

[Jays24]

Only Straw and Gimenez score on that ball

Bichette is going to win the batting title this year.  He can smell the $$$$$

It happens. Also cold weather, hard surface. He deserves some grace on that.

I agree, but the platinum glove guy should have at least knocked it down and not let it go through even if he couldn't make the miracle play at 1b

[Masterbather]

This game ended up being a lot more fun than the initial lineup card would have suggested. 

Well, so far...

Kilometers Straw strikes again.

Been calling for him to be starting every game possible until Varsho is ready.  He raked in the Spring and looks to have carried it over while filling a massive need for us defensively with Varsho out.

When a guy is a great defender, I give them some leeway because they always try to make the great play. It's how they're programmed.

[Omar]

When I see Fenway mostly empty by the 8th inning I feel joy in my heart.  

[Grant77]

Cowards are losing and hit our 500 million dollar man. Typical Boston move.

I see this front office is going to let Schneider cost the team a bunch of potential losses before they realize the obvious lol. 

stop with this sh*t man.  It's unbecoming.

Surprisingly, Roden would likely also. He's only .3 ft/sec slower than Gimenez.

[Grant77]

I'll take that RBI, Tony.

[Spanky99]

Lets Go Jays... FINISH 'em!!!
 

 

[glory]

I really can't wait for the heater Tony is going to go on eventually, because he's been brutal so far. 

[Grant77]

Sandlin please, not Fluharty.

Seems to me he's being deployed about as perfectly as he can be so far.

Raking in spring training is worth two dead flies.

[John_Havok]

I mean, if you're not gonna pitch Fluharty with a 5 run lead... when are ya gonna use him?

Literally the entire thread  is scattered with Schneider slander and this is the one that crossed the line for you eh lol

[John_Havok]

Another case of a guy rushing the throw unnecessarily. Saw Boston do that earlier too to the same result.

I agree but it's why I said "it looks to have carried over"

Plus defense and speed rarely takes a day off and Straw is a premium there when it's needed without Varsho. 

[Omar]

Wow, that's how you turn two. baby.

[Jays24]

Fluharty pitching exactly in the situation he should to start off his career.  Schneider is crazy for giving the guy Soto to start lol

[Masterbather]

Boy this must be a frustrating game for Red Sox fans. Probably looked like a gimme.

[Grant77]

We're fortunate that the bottom half of their lineup is ass. Fluharty just seems like he'd get lit up by good hitters.

It was the first one I saw - coming in late and getting caught up.  Yes, I see the others on the next page.  You (and others) need to understand that Schneider made the team out of STing and you don't just give up on him after like 10 at bats.  He's going to get "some" rope.  I don't think it will be a lot - I honestly don't, and I'll be at the front of the line complaining if he does (without results).  But he's going to get more than the 10 at bats he entered the day with before he's cut.  

Complaining it about it every time he bats is nauseating.

Since when is Devers, Bregman and Refsnyder the bottom of the lineup?

[G-Snarls]

Who gets the 9th??

Frankly I'd leave Fluharty in ... but looks like they're going another direction
