6/12 vs Blue Jays

[Maxbialystock]

Great slider by Pivetta!

 

Why oh why did Vazquez call for a waist high fastball on the first pitch to Guerrero?

 

On top of which, he drops a pop up, then calls for another waist high fastball which gets nailed.

Great throw by K-Hern.

[Nick]

Great throw by Kike...that double play doesn't happen without Vaz dropping the popup.

[Maxbialystock]

Great play by Hernandez!

 

Vazquez, get into the game.

[TylerD]

Really Devers?

 

Too many mistakes

[Maxbialystock]

Tricky motion fooled Devers.

Getting caught stealing right before the batter gets walked ain't smart.

[Maxbialystock]

Two fat fastballs to Vazquez, and the best he can do is foul them off.

[Maxbialystock]

I've seen that a lot of times. Pitchers aren't used to throwing while stepping up the mound. Same for turning around to throw.

[Maxbialystock]

Good pitching by Matz, who threw some tough pitches to Arroyo.

[Maxbialystock]

Nicely done, Vazquez. A single can tie the game. And no throw.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The catcher leads the SOX in stolen bases. Not sure that's common in baseball.

[TylerD]

Getting caught stealing right before the batter gets walked ain't smart.

 

Ya two men on and squandered it. This could come back to haunt us

[Maxbialystock]

Nicely done, Pivetta! Catchers usually get those.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Ya two men on and squandered it. This could come back to haunt us

 

I'm pretty sure the Jays will continue to provide the SOX with help. It's in their nature.

[Maxbialystock]

Good call by Vazquez--knuckle curve for the K when the batter was almost certainly looking for a fastball with a 3-2 count.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Walking Vlad is good strategy. No reason to let him beat you, if he hasn't already.

[Maxbialystock]

I'm pretty sure the Jays will continue to provide the SOX with help. It's in their nature.

 

Well, today we have reciprocity because Vazquez helped them.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

How could a guy named MATZ not make it with the METZ?

[Maxbialystock]

That changeup by Matz is a killer. Unhittable so far. Well, except for weak grounders to the pitcher.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Well, today we have reciprocity because Vazquez helped them.

 

Thanks to K-Hern, no damage done, but it was embarrassing.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

"If it wasn't for the 1st inning" should be the mantra for the SOX starting staff.

[d-money]

Offense can’t do nothing thus far against this pitcher. 🤦*♂️

[Maxbialystock]

Sox showing real balance today. After 3 innings, 1 hit and 1 error.

 

Guerrero is the difference, pure and simple.

[d-money]

Matz is hittable. Just not hitting him right now.

[d-money]

Can’t give up anymore runs.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nicklaus could have hit that.

[TylerD]

That was the worst at bat I have ever seen for Devers, wow!!!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

JD and Devers are probably not good golfers.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I wonder if Renfroe leads this team in walks.
