2018 MLB Season Thread

[RN4L]

Sawks look good, 3-for-4 w/RISP so far

 

[PWNdroia]

Yankees will be 5 back from us in no time.  They might even catch up.  We're blowing a game we should have easily won.  Got to the best pitcher in baseball but Porcello can't hold a lead.

 

[PWNdroia]

They have one of the two best rotations in baseball. If theirs doesnt do it for you, nobody elses will either.

It's good for the NL.  I'd still take the Cubs over the Dodgers if we're talking rotations.

Relax. Yeah we didnt capitalize when we had the chance tonight, but youre jumping to conclusions off a few bad innings.

I called it before today.  Indians win 3/4 against us.  They're on fire and our rotation is just in shambles right now.  We've basically got Price and no one else reliable.

Well to be honest a wake up call wouldnt be the worst thing in the world. Need to have some adversity this year.

That much I'm agreed.

 

[PWNdroia]

One inning left, but it's over.  We have 11 hits in the game, usually you don't get more than 10 on most games.  We're outhitting the Indians and losing by 2 runs.  That's the worst when you outhit someone and lose.

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Yeah tonight was bad. You can't have 11 LOB and expect to win in a close game.

 

[PWNdroia]

Yeah tonight was bad. You can't have 11 LOB and expect to win in a close game.

I still don't think we have a reliable rotation at all.  I don't even consider E-Rod reliable.  Only Sale and likely Price.  outside of those two, nothing's a given.  We've had great offense all year, that is what has carried us.

 

[PWNdroia]

Ughh... Nathan Eovaldi.  He better bring his A game.  I see 5 earned runs in 7 innings.  Nathan Eovaldi is Rick Porcello 2.0.  Our offense needs to wake up and win some games for us because our rotation won't.

 

[PWNdroia]

The 2017 Red Sox seemed to win games when leaving several men on.
 
This team not so much.

 

[PWNdroia]

Yankees will be 5 or 6 games back after this series.  Right back in the race.
 
Like I said, Eovaldi is Porcello 2.0.
 
We suck.  Our rotation is trash right now.

 

[elcheato]

The Red Sox have the best record in the league, and the next closest is 9 games behind
 
You should calm down

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Some offence would be nice.

Considering how we're down in this game and we can't get a damn hit off a Justin Bieber pitcher no one even knows, I don't consider that a good thing.
 
As I said before, we have a lot of flaws for having the best record in baseball.  We're lucky to have that record because I don't think we're the best team.  I don't think Houston is either by the way.

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Seriously tho, some offence would be nice.
 
We are also getting killed by Cleveland's like C guys (Melky and Allen)

Shane Bieber has a low-mid 90s fastball, a very good slider, decent change, locates all his pitches well, misses bats and doesn't walk people. He's a very good prospect. If you don't know him, that's your issue ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Just wanted to make that Justin Bieber reference.  i don't know him though.  Indians are loaded though.  I think they and Oakland are the teams to beat.

Pitching would be nice.  I mean our rotation is based on the success of Rick Porcello right now.  
 
Offense carried us all season.  It's in a funk right now.
