'Sometimes' is a big word there.

Baseball isn't totally random by any means, but there really is a big pile of randomness at work. Last night's game for example. When it was 4-1 it looked like a nice little sleepytime win. If someone had told you then it would end up 8-7 Sox in a walkoff you would have said they were out of their f***ing mind LOL

That's a big part of it, yes. But we have also often seen the Red Sox offense shut down by some relative unknown that leaves people scratching their heads and referring to the pitcher sardonically as 'Cy'. Just the other day it was 'Cy Beeks'. Even a relative unknown can be tough on the days and nights his stuff is at his best.

As you said, pitching at the MLB level is just very difficult. If you throw too many pitches in the middle of the plate they get hammered. If you nibble at the corners too much you issue walks and throw a lot of pitches. Bottom line, for all the problems, the Red Sox still have the 4th best ERA in MLB, and the second-best park-adjusted ERA+. It's all relative...

So we're onto the topic of momentum now, I see. The way I see it, you can find a lot of examples where a team seems to have momentum. But you can also find a lot of examples of apparent momentum coming to a screeching halt. Therein lies the rub, as Shakespeare said.

Do you double as MADSTORK by any chance?

Workman?

You the man.

I'll have to go with Slasher on this one. 18 AB's is only 4 games.

Cutting a steak with a spoon might cause issues too. Best thing would be to cut it up for him like a little kid.

I give a s*** and I'm sure others do. Personally I only start to pay serious attention when a guy is lined up to appear in an actual game. It can be exhausting following all the injury updates this time of year.

Somebody has to ask it... You're saying Sale has never shaken off a single pitch call in his career?
-
Tater Time with Larry!

Can we still say that if they polish off the 4 game sweep of the O's tonight? They just swept 3 from the Jays quite easily too.

Rays are now 41-24 in the Dump, 29-37 on the road. For whatever reason they are very hard to beat in this infernal shithole.

Hamstrings can be tricky things.

Beeks looked good yesterday, but let's not get carried away. Beeks with Rays - 27.2 IP 5.20 ERA Eovaldi with Sox - 28 IP 2.89 ERA And yes, I realize Beeks got off to a terrible start and Eovaldi got off to a crazy good start.

I like 4 divisions total. Of course, with 30 teams total they need to either add 2 or subtract 2 to make 4 even divisions.
-
To me it's utterly baffling how hard it is to score runs in this Godforsaken place. 9 games, and the most the Sox have scored in a single game is 4. That's nuts.
-
One thing is for sure, this season has raised some serious concerns about teams not really trying that hard to win games. For example the Yankees are currently in a stretch of 13 games vs the Marlins, Orioles, White Sox and Tigers before going to play against an actual baseball team in Oakland. It's like the whole season hinges on how many cream puff games you have left vs. real games...

What might be entertaining is a bench-clearing brawl in the funny unis.

I just found out the Rays pitching coach is Kyle Snyder, who Sox fans may remember from his playing days, though not necessarily in a good way. Snyder pitched for the Sox from 2006 to 2008 as a starter and reliever, compiling a line of 6-8 with a 5.20 ERA and a 1.55 WHIP. His career mark was 8-17 with a 5.57 ERA and a 1.55 WHIP. Showing once again, I guess, that you don't have to be good to coach good.

WAR is the dumbest stat known to mankind (Trout vs. Betts)

The Theory of Relativity isn't the easy thing to grasp either, but you don't hear people calling Einstein a quack. -
The idea of Pedey ever contributing again is probably optimistic, but I'm down with it. At least he's feeling good.

We've got rays to fry, and then marlins to fry. But seriously, good post Jackson.
