7/27 vs Blue Jays

[mvp 78]

Don't tell me Arauz or Munoz is a downgrade from Kvis.

 

@SoxProspects

An eighth inning base hit for Yairo Munoz extends his hitting steak to 20 games. That's the second longest hitting streak in PawSox/WooSox history, moving ahead of Dave Berg (2005), and Dave Stapleton (1979). Jacoby Ellsbury holds the record with a 25 game streak back in 2007.

Now he's killing Devers with nothing but fastballs.

RISP R.i.P.

He’s got a good one; there’s some movement there.

 

Of course they get the fly ball they needed 1or 2 batters earlier.

[Maxbialystock]

Lazy fly to CF with the bases loaded.

 

Sox blew a huge, huge opportunity. 6th, 7th, and 8th batters all get on base, 9th K's, and the top of the order rolls over and plays dead. And Ray is throwing like 75% fastballs and 25% sliders and not much else.

[illinoisredsox]

Is this game tortoise pace or snail pace?

[d-money]

Missing opportunities early.

[Maxbialystock]

Richards is throwing his fastball as hard or harder than Ray, but the Jays love it.

[TylerD]

Squandered. Damn

Ray’s too good a pitcher to let those opportunities go by.

Richards’ fastball doesn’t have the same location and especially movement.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It's a snail pace, but with the snail caught in an oil slick.

[illinoisredsox]

Hope it picks up; I’ve got a 3:30 tee time tomorrow afternoon.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The more MC plays the more his value plummets in a trade.

[d-money]

Come on Richards!

[d-money]

Need some magic here. They have squandered opportunities in this game to get Ray.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Might be cutting it close.

You were right about Richards, who looked much better this inning.

 

I am not seeing much movement in Ray's fastball, but am in Richards. His breaks down and to the left (to the right as the batter looks at it).

[Maxbialystock]

Maybe Ray's fast ball rises. Whatever, it works. That one was right in the middle and JDM couldn't do much with it.

[Maxbialystock]

Now he's throwing changeups, and they are working.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Wouldn't be a bad idea to have someone warming in the pen.

[Maxbialystock]

I'm not a Vazquez, but am more than happy to give him some credit when the pitcher is doing well, and so far that is the case with Richards today. Just 3 innings so far, but still.

It just looks like Ray’s gets on the hitters quicker; might be his motion. It also looks more like the old “rising” fastball (acknowledging that the ball doesn’t actually rise).

[Maxbialystock]

Fenway looks nice. Nice crowd too for a Wed afternoon.

[d-money]

Ray is going through this offense.

[d-money]

Big inning here for Richards.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

F'ingchavis. That's one word.

I forgot Muñoz and Arauz. Yes, they can't be worse than Chavis, specially Muñoz.

Not surprised at all!
