So the lesson here is good teams (all 5 of them including us) hit your mistakes a long way. Porcello was not terrible but the balls that left were on pitches that were pretty much middle pitches. I don't know what Eck is talking about either. If you miss location with a Changeup and leave it out over the plate...its going someplace against a decent hitter. You can leave a Change up these days and get away with it, but not out over the plate.

Got a good pitch to hit and didn't get it. Good game anyway
-
Rick pitches with more confidence when he is feeling it than any pitcher on the staff. Sale pitches with confidence but he has better stuff than Rick. When Rick is pitching with confidence it just comes out of his pores.

KC had a great bullpen, not just good but great and they had the most resilient arm in baseball for a couple of years...Davis...who had an incredibly resilient arm like a rubber band. He could do anything for about two years as a relief pitcher. By the time they got to the post season they were just throwing him into everything. Back to backs, multiple innings...didn't matter. Not sure I can remember seeing anything quite like it since Dick Radatz here.

Nobody will try this IMO unless forced to it. Cash has been forced to it and has done a great job with it IMO. I don't like using a serious late innings arm in the first inning unless at home and trying to keep your anemic hitting team from having to take their first AB's already down in the game, possibly enough to rob them of some of the tools an anemic hitting team would use to try to generate some runs. So other than that, it's fine in a pinch. It does help that regardless of all the news about pitchers throwing 98, I think what is more interesting is the number of pitchers throwing an assortment of hooks and changes. The Curve is back in a big way for one thing. The other component of relief pitching that your pitchers better feature if you are going to do something like what Cash has done is they need to have resilient arms. Additionally, the times you run a starter out there, he better not collapse early as that could throw off your plans for a week.

The Slider..I don't ever want to hear about the Slider being the mystery pitch for this Red Sox team ever again! Had enough of that thank you. But don't think the league is not watching this.
-
I don't know the heck they let Choi get to 2nd base. If that run comes home its a different story
-
Well its still a bloop and a blast from a tie game. I think I will rationalize that they are looking ahead to Cleveland. Almost a shame that series starts on Monday. Easy to look ahead.
-
Alvarado is really irritating. How many times have we seen him throw 3 straight balls, look like he was going to throw about 8 more and just pump a couple strikes in there and suddenly you're out!
-
We are starting guys that are at least our spot starters...BJ, Val. They are starting guys that have no business starting anywhere and are feeling lucky if they get two innings out of them and they are doing it about every other game!
-
Beeks has had a huge influence on this game to this point, much to our chagrin.
-
Well we may lose this game. But if we lose it 1-0 against a team in a bullpen game from the first inning, I am going to need paramedics and resuscitation.
-
Sucre has been funny behind the plate today. Very animated and snarly at his pitchers.
-
Geez where did the Rays get THAT kid from?
-
I thought the booth crew probably wanted to take their Beeks comments back as soon as they left their mouths.
-
Why does NESN keep doing this hot and cold thing with one Sox player and one opponent. Why do I give a flying f*** that some guy is going through a s*** period of the season for the opponent. Show me who I might have to worry about in this series not some guy with a hole in his bat!
-
Funny how things go. All the noise is pitchers throwing 98 and they are all throwing some sort of hook or change all over the place
-
Boy Workman just never looked like he improved from early in his career. Does not even look like the same pitcher.
-
Anybody know if they are really getting Judge back or is he done for the year?
-
I would start to think about whether the bat is starting to get a little heavy in Mookies hands and if they might want to scale him back preparing for the post season.
-
X is having a tremendous year. From two weeks before the ASB to today save the period he was out with the hand injury somebody needs to show me how there has been a better Shortstop in MLB. Haven't seen everybody over that time. But X has just played too good.

1:07 day game coming up today (Sunday). Maybe somebody wants to start a game thread?? Closing in on start time.
-
But only his 17th ML appearance of the year which is why Cora has got to see if he can handle back to back appearances and even back to back to back.
