Buchholz is throwing a lot of pitches, but so far he seems very different from Porcello and Price in that he is mostly keeping the ball low, mixing in breaking stuff, and hitting some corners. Neither of them came close to doing that.

 

This. And his pitch count wouldn't be that high if Xander made that catch in the first. So far Clay has been a breath of fresh air and looks very much in control

How many pitches thus far?

A lead would be nice.

Let's try to get Buchholz through an inning at a time. He's pitching good. Our offense is hand- cuffed. Don't tell me Tomlin will pitch good for five innings until he gets lifted.

Just cannot get the big hit. I said they needed to jump on them early and they can't do it thus far.

 

Been like this for the last 3 weeks. So frustrating

"That was a dazzling play by the Cleveland shortstop", THe was standing on second base when the base when the ball was hit right at him!

That, ladies and gents, is a pitcher out there on the mound for the Sox--not a thrower as both Porcello and Price are too inclined to be. He mixes up not only his pitches, but also locations, and is therefore hard to anticipate, whereas with both Price and Porcello most hitters can afford to sit on their fast balls or wait for a changeup or something to be left up in the strike zone.

 

Neither of them could go 3 innings without give up 4 runs. Buchholz has now gone 3 and given up 0 runs. What a difference when a real pitcher is on the mound. Like most everyone else, I never thought I would say that this season.
