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

[iortiz]

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

 

I was thinking exactly the same.

[Maxbialystock]

Finally, in the 6th inning with two outs, the first hit from the first six batters in the Sox lineup tonight. A clean single by Bogaerts.

 

Montgomery, despite the inane and insane comments on this game thread, dominated the Sox. Period.

[Maxbialystock]

We needed that hit an hour ago.

 

He hit it even harder an hour ago, but right to the SS.

[Swiharts Ghost]

Come on need this one here

[TylerD]

Come on. Two runs.

There are too many people here who just don’t get the art of pitching. You saw a prime example tonight of Warren Spahn’s statement that hitting is timing and pitching is upsetting timing. Of course, what did he know, he only won 360 games give or take.

[Swiharts Ghost]

Ok ok ok now let’s get this one in

[iortiz]

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

 

IMHO While Arroyo is kind of fragile, it has been more bad luck than anything else.

 

I haven’t tracked Rizzo. How’s been doing?

[Swiharts Ghost]

Nice hit JD

[Maxbialystock]

Nice single by JDM!!!! Just what was needed. Up to Renfroe.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Sal Romano? Sounds like he should own a car dealership.

[Swiharts Ghost]

Let’s Go Hunter

[Swiharts Ghost]

Fuchs

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Wonder how long before Renfroe heats up again? Hopefully before September.

[iortiz]

We just can’t t hit in clutch moments against the Yankees lately. f***ing annoying!

[d-money]

This is really tough to watch. Downright embarrassing. If they lose tonight tomorrow they will have to find a way and beat cole.

[Swiharts Ghost]

Playing scared seems Bloom is failing this team each day we haven’t traded for 1b specifically Rizzo

[Maxbialystock]

Way to go, Renfroe. Swing at a ball well above the strike zone for a lazy fly to RF.

 

It was, to be perfectly honest, a terrific pitch, guaranteed to make a stupid hitter look bad.

 

Whoever said the Sox, at least tonight, are too aggressive, was absolutely right.

[d-money]

We just can’t t hit in clutch moments against the Yankees lately. f***ing annoying!

 

Pressing against a team that’s missing their best hitter. Better keep this at 1-0

Better than DalbeK. And going to a contender might just get his bat going. He's a great defensive 1st baseman.

[Maxbialystock]

That was a rarity by a Sox pitcher. Three pitches in the upper inside corner plus a waste pitch outside--resulting in a K by Hernandez. Great command.

[TylerD]

Pitching is doing all they can for us.

[iortiz]

Well almost every 1B is better than Dalbec I guess but on paper, sure, he is better.

 

I like Carlos Santana.

[d-money]

Come on! Go sawx! Get a damn run at least.

[iortiz]

Pitching is doing all they can for us.

 

… and that run was unearned thanks to Vazquez.

[Swiharts Ghost]

Is this all Verdugo is ? No pop mediocre hitter ? Banged up every other year ? Occasional flashes glove ? Isn’t this Benny ? A lesser Benny ? Edited July 23, 2021 by Swiharts Ghost

Need This one bad

[Maxbialystock]

I could be wrong, but I think the Sox hitters can thrown at--by that I mean at the head--more often than hitters our pitchers are facing. It used to be called a brush back pitch and was used to set up pitches away from the batter.

[iortiz]

Geez those Rays are a pain in the ass, that’s for sure. They came back, again. This time vs Guardians.

[TylerD]

… and that run was unearned thanks to Vazquez.

 

Yuppers!

 

We scored 2 runs in 2 games against them and now none. Won’t beat the worst teams doing that let alone a good team like New York.
