5/21 at Philadelphia

[d-money]

That suck. Hopefully perez gets into a groove.

[Maxbialystock]

Terrible pitch to swing at, but about par for a pitcher who goes to the plate very infrequently.

 

39 pitches in 2 innings for Nola.

[Thunder]

Great play Xander!

[TylerD]

Wow and the splits by Santana

[Maxbialystock]

Nola faces the top of the Sox order in the 3d--always a good sign.

[Thunder]

Keep working that pitch count!

[Thunder]

PP goal for the Bruins to take a 1-0 lead

[d-money]

Feel like we need more runs. Hope perez continues to pitch well.

The fact that it was PP goal is not surprising. I just wonder if they can score 5-5. That’s been a problem the last couple of years.

Last couple years in the playoffs the power play has let them down as well

[d-money]

Gotta close this inning.

[moonslav59]

Nice to know either Toronto or TB will lose tonight, but one has to win, too.

 

We have to keep winning!

[TylerD]

Well fart. Tied.

[moonslav59]

Just like that: 2-2.

[Thunder]

Gee, maybe don't throw it there?

DFA PErez

[d-money]

Lousy job by perez there after getting the first 2 outs.

[Maxbialystock]

Phillies hit Perez's changeup and curve ball very hard. Hmmmmm.

[Maxbialystock]

Was that Jimmy Piersall who just ran way the heck over into RF to catch a fly hit directly to Bryce Harper?

 

Of course Bryce is a five tool player: hits, hits with power, does wear a glove when in the outfield, does get to first when walked, and does in fact release the ball when he throws it.

[d-money]

Not good. We need scoreless baseball from perez here.

[Maxbialystock]

Wow. The changeup and curve hit hard in the 3d, so neither was thrown in the first at bat in the bottom of the 4th. All cut fast balls.

 

Other lesson learned from the 3d inning double and dinger: if at all possible, don't throw strikes.

[Maxbialystock]

Great pitching for that double play!!!!

 

Perez owns the Phillies lineup.

[Thunder]

Bohm has been one of the unluckiest hitters in the entire league this season

[Maxbialystock]

So far in the Phillies 4th, a walk, an HBP, and a very, very lucky lineout double play for Perez. Edited May 22, 2021 by Maxbialystock

[Thunder]

Not the most thrilling game so far. But, after last night, I guess it has to even out

[d-money]

54 pitches for perez through 4 innings.

[Maxbialystock]

What the heck is wrong with Verdugo? Why can't he takes those flies for JDM the way the Phillies centerfielder does for Harper? Plus JDM has a higher OPS than Harper.

[Maxbialystock]

FWIW, I'm rooting for the Jays tonight. Rays a little too hot.

[Maxbialystock]

Nola's curve is way, way, way, way better than Perez's. Whoops there goes another Sox K'ing on that doggone curve.
