Red Sox/MLB 2023 Regular Season - 154-8 still possible - Adam Duvall suffered fractured wrist, no timetable set for his return

[McGarnagle]

Maybe time to hit the showers

Home run derby

 

[McGarnagle]

Alex was quick to pull Kluber and Sale in the 3rd inning, but okay leaving Kutter out there to get Patrick Roy'd.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Ugh I walked away for 15 minutes and it went from 5-4 sox to 7-5 them...

Well I imagine that's "I can't do this to my bullpen for 162 games"

his bullpen management is suspect imo

Cora is fine. The bullpen, is one of the worst they have had in 45 years. Henry and company have no shame.

 

[EverettMike]

Oh my god it's only the fifth.

 

[Smitty93]

I know there's a lot of frustration with Chaim, but if there's any one thing that annoys me, it's not the roster building, it's the fact that when they hired him, I was hoping he'd poach the people responsible for the pitching development monster that is the Tampa Rays, or at least somehow re-create it from the inside view he had. Tampa has shown you can succeed with flawed pitchers, as long as you know how to harness them.

 

[McGarnagle]

I know people are going to say we should've pinch hit for Wong there, but I get my wanting to run Mcguire into the ground this early in the year

Was able to sync up NESN with WEEI. Like it.

That’s well played

Oh my god it's only the fifth.

5.5 hour game without pitch clock

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Getting hits. Need a few more capitalization and hope the BP can shut it down.

I feel Cora is using the “on the bubble” arms a lot to start. We have arms coming back that will be upgrades but who stays is based off who performs. Kelly / Ort / Brasier.

Once arms start returning, they’ll be out.

That’s well played


5.5 hour game without pitch clock

Yup. I love me some pitch clock. It gives the game a much better pace of play. Think something will need to give on the stealing but I don’t know what.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Need another big hit from Duvall here.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

The man is on fire. Wonderful start for Duvall this year. Hope he can stay healthy. Don’t expect him to carry this hitting all year but 25 25 bombs and good CF defense will be nice.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Bleier is a pitch-to-contact pitcher. Needs defense.

Like that. Nice recovery, Kiké.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

#suppORT scares me.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Tough L. Bullpen did well, SP continues to struggle. Bats alive but not enough. Scoring runs.

 

[Mione134]

That was frustrating

 

[KrejciMVP]

hitting cant bail out this pitching nightly

 

[Johnnyduke]

Should probably be 1-3 but more than that it's just not good baseball. Basically what I expected.

Once Whitlock, Bello, and Paxton get back into the lineup, we will see where we're at.

 

[McGarnagle]

Offense is still good enough to carry them a bit so that's good. Pitching needs to settle down but Kutter won't be in the rotation once everyone's healthy.

Is everyone always healthy though? Sale, Kluber, Paxton even Whitlock. At this point I just want to see Bello.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

If the pitching can find a rhythm and the offense keeps up hits I could see 83 wins.
