5/16 vs Angels

[Thunder]

Wow Nate can get a win now

[jung]

The genius moniker has not worn well on Maddon over time.

Need a good inning here.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Just like that!

 

One swat by the man child,

 

If one isn't part 'child,' one probably shouldn't be playing professional sports. But, I get your point. Devers never let's his previous at bat effect his next at bat.

[TylerD]

Bats coming alive and helping out. Beautiful

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The real mistake there was throwing something low to Chavis

 

To quote Teddy Ballgame: "Pitchers are the dumbest animals on the planet."

[Maxbialystock]

Great grab by Gonzalez!!!

That and the baby face.

[d-money]

Going with Valdez here.

[moonslav59]

O’s up on Yanks!

[Jasonbay44]

Good inning by Valdez

[d-money]

Let’s add some runs!

I just love computers. In fact I'm using one right now--ditto when I use the phone, ipad, etc. But most of all I love them when opposing managers listen to their siren call and pull their starter when he is pitching well just because there's a man on first with one out and the top of the Sox order--who couldn't hit Quintana--is coming up for the 3d time.

 

I believe I am correct in saying that Cora does not usually pull his starter when the opposing team is about to face him for the 3d time. Today Eovaldi faced 23 batters despite giving up 4 runs in the 2d. Well done, Alex--and Eovaldi. And Valdez, for that matter.

Over the last week or so I have really started to appreciate how patient Cora is. I think it's a big part of this team's success so far

Yesterday OB and Remi were giving accolades to the scout who discovered Trout. How about giving some credit to the SOX scout who found Devers.

[moonslav59]

Bottom 3 guys are 5 for 6

[Thunder]

Bottom 3 guys are 5 for 6

 

And they are backups, too!

 

Too bad Arauz is heading down for Tuesday's game, I would imagine

[d-money]

Well this pen has to hold this game now.

[Maxbialystock]

After all these years of screwing us over, Joe Maddon finally throws us a bone

 

I like this post.

[Thunder]

Taylor needs to learn how to cover 1st

Agree.

[Maxbialystock]

Wow. Who knew JDM gets inserted in LF for his defense?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

JD,similar to Ortiz, doesn't embarrass himself when he is used defensively.

[Maxbialystock]

OK. Finally, finally Cora is bringing out the good relievers. It's about time, that's all I have to say.

Good point.

[Maxbialystock]

Only the bottom of the 7th. Still a lot of baseball to play.

[Maxbialystock]

Arauz BA plummets from .333 to .286.

[Maxbialystock]

Whoever said low in the zone to Chavis is a mistake has a point.

 

Plus this year he seems a little quicker on the basepaths.

Chavis is making a case to stay.

No idea why the Angels pitchers have stopped throwing Hammer high fastballs. I'm glad they have short memories. Actually, it may be more the catcher's fault then the pitcher's. Edited May 16, 2021 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER
