thru our 12 game stretch of beatable teams, we went 11-1.

thru our upcoming "guantlet" (@bos/cws/bos/chc) we have 13 games, 9 vs top teams, 10/13 at home. 

so far we're 2-0.

we started the season 2-5.  since then we're 29-10.

we have had two 10 game winning streaks and it's may 18th.

and we kinda played like shit tonight.  i would guess we had the fewest amount of strikeouts our staff will throw in a game all season (3).

we also left a ton of guys on base.

let's go.

This is why I subscribe to SH

I think he went 0-3 in his debut, which is understandable

Interesting that Osuna was in there with a 4 run lead. That means he won't be available tomorrow. I guess Hinch wanted to win the series tonight, and with Sale going tomorrow maybe he figured there may not be a save to get. Another good win. 

We usually do ok against Sale.  Last couple of years it seems to be Porcello and Price that fuck us up.

Why won't he be available to close tonight?  He has appeared three nights in a row already this season (@SEA).

[Mo Horn 8933]

I didn't realize that. Hinch usually doesn't use his relievers 3 games in a row. He didn't throw a lot of pitches last night so he might be able to go again today. Plus, he might not be needed much against the White Sox. 

[henrygandorf 29223]

as long as pressly feels ok i’m fine with it. 

[tx 3 putt 78470]

Do we need a closer when you’re up by 12 runs ?

[tx 3 putt 78470]

Chance today for our 7th sweep of 2019

[tx 3 putt 78470]

We backed off from signing Cruz because we would have lost the flexibility of letting other guys DH 

white needs to get his slugging up 

boukakas could be the next pitching call up 

hinch and Strom pushed for the Presley trade. They knew there was something there to work with 

[tx 3 putt 78470]

Game start will be delayed, rain 

[tx 3 putt 78470]

Hour + delay expected. Neither pitcher has started warming up 

[Scraps 13745]

1pm start per Julia

He has given up 22 earned runs in 24 innings of AA this year.

Perhaps I got the names mixed up. I was cooking at the same time lol 

[Scraps 13745]

[Mo Horn 8933]

 Well this isn't starting well

"Bregs didn't get enough sleep last night?" - JV

[Mo Horn 8933]

Minimized the damage

[UTexasFight 9789]

That looks familiar

[henrygandorf 29223]

ugh really needed yuli to score there.

not feeling great about jake here.

[Scraps 13745]

Lol Sale u dumb

[Mo Horn 8933]

Break for them that it hit Jake. 

[henrygandorf 29223]

hmm, getting out of the way of that probably would've been better.  let's go george.

[Scraps 13745]

No chance in hell yuli couldve scored unless the throw was launched into the stands

 

[UTexasFight 9789]

Safe!

[UTexasFight 9789]

I’ll take the run but disappointed it robs Springer of a grand slam in a second

[henrygandorf 29223]

wow that was a nice cross-up.

[TonyTexas 10683]

Nice read Yuli.

[Seasick Sailor 3747]

Great base running by Yuli

[UTexasFight 9789]

[Mo Horn 8933]

 George isn't right. 

[clapclapclap 9000]

RedSox broadcast crying a balk that is never called on Miley.

 

maybe it's not a balk?

[Scraps 13745]

Sale is a scared little bitch when it comes to his daddy Bregman

[henrygandorf 29223]

[henrygandorf 29223]
