July 22: BOS (Houck) vs NYY (Montgomery)

[Maxbialystock]

Well done, Taylor.

 

Now comes the bottom of the Sox order--the only ones with any hits. First six hitters--Kike, Raffy, Bogie, JDM, Renf, and Vazquez--are impartial observers.

 

Correction. Vazquez is actually playing for the Yankees.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

SOX are killing a lot of worms tonight.

[Maxbialystock]

Verdugo back in his not so good groove.

[Maxbialystock]

I just checked. Vazquez does indeed lead MLB in PB's with 9. Next worst has 5, so Vazquez is a good bet to finish the season with the most passed balls.

[redsoxrules]

Ffs stop swinging at garbage pitches

[TylerD]

2 runs in 20 innings against this team. Wow.

[iortiz]

Dalbec and Chavis are unwatchable geez

[d-money]

Where the f*** is this offense?

[d-money]

Idk if they’re just pressing against this team.

[Maxbialystock]

Vintage Chavis. Swings at a pitch that bounced 5 feet in front of home plate.

 

I say again, this game is being played exactly the way the last two were played at Yankee Stadium.

 

Did anyone else notice that Montgomery completely dominated the three Sox hitters? If he is a lousy pitcher, we better hope the Sox never have to face a good one.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Is there a team in MLB that swings at more bad pitches than the SOX? Probably why the SOX are near the bottom in walks. It truly is amazing, with so many negatives, that this team is where they are right now.

You really think it was good pitching by the Yankees? This team right now looks pathetic. It won’t get any easier tomorrow. Frankly they’re pressing and getting tight.

VAZ has more passed balls than the Celtics.

Yes, absolutely, I think it's great pitching by Montgomery. He mixes his pitches and locations. The Sox just hit the heck out of the Jays pitching, so they are not in a slump. And they are playing in front of the home crowd.

I see it the other way. They’re pressing.

[iortiz]

I miss Arroyo. Chavis doesn’t have to be in this team.

[Maxbialystock]

All three Yankee hitters this half inning have hit the ball hard, but on the ground. Thus 2 outs and a single.

[d-money]

Need to get out of this.

[d-money]

All three Yankee hitters this half inning have hit the ball hard, but on the ground. Thus 2 outs and a single.

 

They don’t even have their best hitter. Very embarrassing this happened in their last series.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The SOX BP continues to be the biggest positive on this team.

[Maxbialystock]

I do not believe that. Taylor completely ignored the runner on 1b and literally gave him 2b.

 

On the other hand, he did get the K to end the inning, so good play on letting him steal.

[TylerD]

I miss Arroyo. Chavis doesn’t have to be in this team.

I mean Chavis has one of our only two hits tonight but alright.

[d-money]

Have to start doing something soon. Running out of innings.

[Maxbialystock]

Sox have 2 singles in 5 innings and are losing 1-0 on an unearned run thanks to Vazquez.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I miss Arroyo. Chavis doesn’t have to be in this team.

 

Arroyo is a walking injury about to happen. He can't be counted on. Go get Rizzo.

[Maxbialystock]

3d time thru the order, which Montgomery so far has dominated.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The worms are waving a white flag.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

3d time thru the order, which Montgomery so far has dominated.

 

He has 4 pitches and isn't afraid to throw any of them.

[redsoxrules]

These are situations where the Sox hitters need to be more patient. Kike and Devers could have worked walks there

[iortiz]

We needed that hit an hour ago.
