GDT 09/03/18 Touki versus Red Sox

[CyYoung31]

The Sox RISP luck is insane today. Both ways.

? They’re tearing the cover off the ball.

I'm glad that Sox fan got an "FU" glove to the face for trying to interfere with the play.

 

[jpack1]

Welp. Better get the bats out boys.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Spoke too quickly about Touki. Awful inning with bad pitching

BoSox 3-5 w/RISP and 3 LOB

Braves 0-5 w/RISP, 7 LOB

I hate that the Sox are gonna put in that knucle baller. IIRC, we really struggled against him last time.

That's why we lost game 2 up in Boston.

Anyway, basically a neutral start for Touki. With a full pen I might have honestly taken him down bases loaded with 1 out. You can have one of the other kid pitchers (non Allard) pitch 2 innings. There's no scouting report on them too.

Not luck as in lucky hits. Luck in that they strung thier hits all together.

Calling a walkoff against Kimbrel.

I was sort of thinking the same thing re PHing for Toussaint. He was pitching well, but that felt like a jugular moment.

 

[striker42]

We hit a rocket, it's right at them. Ugh

 

[striker42]

Two entirely different strikezone today. Blatantly different.

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

80 grade bloop from Camargo.

 

[msstate7]

FF 2nd half ops is .762. Markakis is .740

Still neither will get a day off. I think both have been run in the ground

 

[striker42]

RISP Today

Sox: 3-5
Braves: 0-6

 

[UNCBlue012]

We’ve left nine runners on base. Holy crap, guys. It’s truly not THAT hard

7-run HR?

 

[jpx7]

7-run HR?

At least.

 

[msstate7]

At least.

Haha

Hitting with runners on is largely luck. You should hit the same with runners on as without. The fact that we can't buy a clutch hit and 3 of the Sox 5 hits have come with RISP shows how our luck has sucked.

But this isn't new. Our luck has been awful for a solid month.

 

[nsacpi]

why is no one except for Camargo trying
