Have I said tonight that I hate Hembree. I don't think. So let me cover that base. I HATE HEMBREE!
-
At 5 you are waaaaaaaaaay tempting me to take the over and bet the mortgage.
-
Don't you just love these games where EVERYBODY is mad at the Home Plate Ump. The coaches are mad, the pitchers are mad, the hitters are mad, the benches are barkin'. Surprised Timmon's hasn't run somebody yet.

NESN putting on a Ticker Tape parade for Leon's foot.

So I think we can safely say that it took 4 regular season turns through for the earth to return to its normal axis for this rotation. Rick's delivery looks waaaaaay more like Rick's delivery than it has looked before tonight. Sale is looking more like Sale. Price appeared more ready than the rest. But he has improved start by start. Nat had about the kind of outing we should expect from Nat though he is now dealing with an elbow. Erod is his usual Erod...unfortunately. So unless something strange happens it looks like 4 turns through and a 7-13 start to make up for lounging through ST.
-
Gather it up Rick. That is the first time Rick's delivery has looked all over the place tonight. He has really had that under control tonight for the most part.
-
Timmons doesn't know where the plate is but he has located Cash.
-
Devers appears to have developed a strange sort of hitch in his swing and its making him late. Sort of the hitting equivalent of 24 crow hops before he throws the damn ball.
-
Ah...ha..ha..ha..ha...ah...ah....ah..ha..ha..ha Timmons is lost back there. It appears Tim is losing these pitches in the catwalks
-
Tim Timmons might be effecting both pitchers. That was almost middle middle from Rick. Timmons is angling for a double digits score tonight.
-
Morton is prone to "irritation" at being squeezed even more than your average bear. He fell apart on command.
-
Boy we needed this one. Bats come through.
-
All Work has to do to make this perfect is hang a fat one right in the middle of the plate
-
In fact, I don't think I can remember another starter with the stuff that Erod has that has absolutely no confidence in anything he is throwing and no way to get to any. That is a recipe for disaster as a MLB Starting Pitcher.
-
He has stuff but I tend to figure the 10 cent head into whether a guy has talent or not. The 24 pitch 1st inning eventually caught up to him even though he was making up ground on pitch count for most of the rest of the game. He either starts games with no confidence in any single pitch or loses confidence quickly if he has any at the start of the game. Vaz gave him as much help as you can ever expect from a catcher and it just is not enough. Its never enough with Erod.
-
That is frustrating. That is about as good a job of managing a start by a Catcher and really by the battery in tonight's game. Erod just is not IMO talented enough. He is close. Like a perennial #5 starter. The problem is there is no such thing as a perennial #5. Your new guy coming up is your #5, not your 5-6 year veteran pitcher.
-
Why is he still in this game.
-
The 0-0 should have been hit to Mars
-
They have to get Erod out at this point. He is wild in the strike zone now
-
Yup.....
-
Erod getting awful close to throwing some middle middle pitches. Still Vaz and Erod have done a good job to this point
-
Looks like Vaz has backed off the plate in the batters box. That is actually a good idea for him. Of course that means he can't get to the K pitch with a broom handle.
-
This is one of the few games when Vaz and Erod have actually helped each other. They had to find something ERod could throw right in the first inning. Found the two-seam and stuck with it. Found the Cutter next and at least had two pitches ERod could throw. Eventually ERod was able to throw the four seam which he was trying to throw at the start of the game and couldn't. That is actually a pretty good job of managing plan B.
-
Our RH hitting star through 19.5 games?......Vaz.

Maybe Bruins and Sox would look better if they put cleats on the Bruins and skates on the Sox.
