9/5/23 Red Sox continue with Rays in Tropicana , 6:40 EDT

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I don't blame the Rays being careful with Casas.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Damn you Cash for putting a different CF in the game.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Casas showing some leather out there.

Casas already better on defense !

The discussion on the Rays pitching philosophy is interesting. Go as hard as you can as long as you can, and that might get you a deal somewhere else. Seems like a lot of those guys end up hurt.

If I’m a GM, I’d be very reluctant to sign any pitcher who has spent much time in Tampa.

There is the problem with 2 guys in the OF, neither of whom is especially conversant in English. Abreu needed to take command as the CF'er. He looked at Yoshi pulling up and overran the ball. Again, as Moon says, it's not necessarily actual ruled errors, it is plays not made. It is also the problem with 2 out ( or any out) walks).

Well, the SOX signed Price and that wasn't much bang for the buck.

Abreu in CF and Rafaela at SS and all Kutter can think is "thank you, Cora."

Sigh....is Abreu really a CFer? Is Yoshi really any sort of OFer?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

3-0. The SOX have the Rays right where they want them.

[redsoxrules]

And some people on here says defense doesn't matter. That's 3 runs right there because of the defense

Is Cora really a manager?

The inning goes on with still 2 outs (made) . HR by the #9 hitter

Crawford's pitch count is well above a 100 pitch/5 inning projection. Just keep making the BP bleed. Then Crawford walks another one

A perfect example, and no error charged!

Yet, the gloss overs continue.
