GAME #4, MARCH 31, 2019, BOSTON RED SOX AT MARINERS

[Murph]

So much for the lead in this game. Another lousy start.

Been watching Sox games over 40 years and can`t remember a start to the season where Sox pitchers have totally looked so terrible.

[Sea Dog 23]

Beni a little dinged up I guess after fouling a pitch off his leg last night. Travis getting chances due to Pearce on the IL. Bats and pen doing the job but the starters badly suck big time.

In a 1:00 game on a SUNNY Sunday,  Benni's glove is missed...…  J D is not your SUNNY DAY outfielder …….. BREAKING NEWS,    3  run homer by SEATTLE !!!  Didn't any of these guys go to SPRING TRAINING ????? iono iono iono iono iono

I think they were all at camp, but did they spend more time on the diamond, or bowling/golf?

Sale, Eovoldi, E Rod and now Porcello, no.one believes that all four of these guys are going to be as bad as they looked thus far this year.  At the risk of beating a dead horse, the common thread is that Cora deliberately did not work these guys in ST.  I ask myself why did these guys bother to show up at Jet Blue at all.  I know everyone considers Cora to be infallible after last year but so far this year I am not impressed. Like I said before he wasted ST with respect to the starters.

[Murph]

Pitiful performance.

Cora thought they worked so hard on October he literally gave them most of ST off. None these guys have had more then 10 innings of work
before opening the season.

Blame Cora for not getting these guys ready.

  9-3  Time to give the STARTERS the rest of the game off...… REST IS NEEDED !! thumb_d thumb_d iono iono iono rofl rofl rofl rofl rofl

34 runs  and counting in 4 games. That is so sad.

[markj]

Because of errors, Porcello got out of this disaster with only 4 earned runs against him.

[markj]

Mookie with a dinger. Now 10-7 Seattle.

[markj]

Can't blame the BP on this one. So far they're given up just one run.

[BoSoxFanNY]

WHAT the heck is happening with our STARTING PITCHERS???????

CRAP!

AND so far, the bullpen has not been the problem.

[Murph]

Red Sox starters: 15 innings, 13.20 ERA; Red Sox bullpen: 18 innings, 2.50 ERA

[markj]

Seattle is doing their best to give this one away. Bases loaded, one out. Sounds like the usual time for the Sox to GIDP.

[markj]

Now 10-8. Walked in run.
