Old friend Beeks 2.7 era in 64ip into tonight's game.Strictly as an RP opener enjoying a decent breakout 1st full season with Rays.

Half of DD's brain would make that deal again Beeks for Eo. The other half asks if Nathan is worth all that money on the IL every year.

Murph · July 22, 2019, 10:22:38 AM

Just another dumb contract by the FO. 4 year deal for a great WS.Would like to know if any other team came close to that deal or was it another case of bidding war with themselves.

Why is HOLT on the bench ?? Yes, BEEKS is LEFT handed but he is the OPENER & HOLT can hit him â€¦â€¦.. ALSO, BOGEY must be exhausted as he has not had a day off in a long TIME â€¦.. Then again, we are at that "ALL HANDS ON DECK" as the SHIP is taking on WATER !!!! iono iono rofl rofl rofl rofl

I wonder about Holt not being in too. It's one thing for him to sit against a lefty starter, quite another against an opener.

Sea Dog 23 · July 22, 2019, 04:27:35 PM

For the Rays Kiermeyer just went on the IL. Chavis is still day to day with some type of injury. Moreland got some rehab action in AAA. Went 0-2 and a walk. "Ran from 1st to 3rd without feeling anything bad." But Cora wants to slow walk it because he's been on two ILs with the quad injury.

Raffey goes to LC and drives in 2 with a double.

Murph · July 22, 2019, 06:59:09 PM

JD follows with a 3 run bomb.

Sea Dog 23 · July 22, 2019, 07:02:20 PM

Are Sox baseball's version of Lucy against Charley Brown with our hearts?

Schloicka · July 22, 2019, 08:40:12 PM

Good game for E-rod overall. 2 hits. Both infield hits. 7 decent innings. Still think he walked to many but didn't hurt him.

markj · July 22, 2019, 08:54:25 PM

Eovaldi is looking rough here. Good thing they had an 8-run lead.

markj · July 22, 2019, 08:59:33 PM

Eovaldi doesn't make it through an inning. Let's hope he does better next time.

His breaking ball wasn't sharp so they were sitting on his fastball. I think he'll be fine with a little more work. I hope anyway. LOL.

Sox finally close it out. Good game for E-Rod and the offense.
