Notice how Dalbec is rarely if ever injured. It comes from not swinging too often or too hard. It was sad the other day to see Bobby get a rocket shot off but go straight to the 3Bman . Should have been a 2 rbi'er.

 

Bobby D is the SOX 'Iron Man.' Like it or not.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Btw, the SOX do have a 1st baseman at WOO who's been raking pretty well since the start of the season. Defensively he's rated as average, which would make him a perfect fit.

Lost 3 out of 4 at home against this team. Would be nice to take 2 out of 3 on the road.

His name is Niko Kavadas.

Nice D by Reyes.

From this point on I will be referring to Abreu as Wylie.

The idea of chUMPS groping the pitchers after each half inning was credited to Leslie Nielsen from the movie NAKED GUN. Edited April 23, 2024 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

Not an error, but same result.

Some would say "no harm was done." Wrong! It adds to the holy pitch count.

Plays not made, roads not taken.... Valdez did not cause a run by Houck's tough pitching, but the pitch count does add up.

[d-money]

This offense blows. What’s new?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Q: "Ben Lively? "

A: "Not recently."

[d-money]

Houck doing his job up to this point.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Bobby D is due. He's way overdue.

[wyo-sox]

Dalbec will never get a hit again.

He was robbed, I tell ya.

Another thing that hasn't changed over the last couple of years; scoring a guy from 2nd with no outs.

Why the hell is Rafaela leading off? WTF

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I'm waitin' for Rafaela to learn how to hit a hanging curve.

Gives Duran a better shot at a solo HR.

[d-money]

Pitiful offense.

[d-money]

Gotta throw strikes.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice D by Valdez.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice D by Bobby D.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Unfortunately for Houck he doesn't get to pitch against his own team.

Actually, that's true for all SOX pitchers.

[vegasbob]

I'm concerned that this unreal string of starting pitching will one day go south, even if just for one game . We have been seriously spoiled by being in every game recently and assume that we will get this type pitching all year. Got to manufacture a few runs now.

 

April baseball north of the Mason-Dixon line is a crapshoot of its own. Cool damp day for pitchers and hitters. Not great. Tomorrow in Cleveland is forecast for cold and windy.

[d-money]

Nice job by Houck. Only player to show up.

I believe he isn't done yet, but I may be wrong.

Wylie!
