Here's a chance for Tedballgame to jump in and say that Wong should never have gone home on that Bregman grounder. Tedballgame always gets it right because he has 20-20 hindsight.
-
That was a very short throw from LF. A good throw beats Duran.
-
Haven't you both said Breslow failed to get a good starter on or before July 31?
-
COULDA, WOULDA, SHOULDA. You have just said Breslow is a failure for not producing the only dominant Sox pitching staff ever in his 2d year as CBO.
-
Indeed.
-
Based on the comments, I'd say the OP is right on target. DH is wrong for an athlete like Campbell, but his fielding apparently stinks wherever he goes. Plus there is not yet convincing evidence his hitting has improved. This might not even be worth discussing were it not for Campbell's 8 year $60M contract.

Not much of a lineup-- Duran LF Bregman 3B Lowe 1B Story SS Yoshida DH Sogard RF Hamilton 2B Eaton CF Wong C

Buehler had 7 quality starts and May 2--and the Sox have the 2d most quality starts in MLB (and the most in the AL). Crochet, Bello, and Giolito--2 of whom Breslow brought in--are the best top 3 starters for the Sox in a long time. And please don't give me that "failure" to get a good 4 and a good 5 starter stuff when we both know that in years past the Sox routinely had to use a reliever to start. Plus right now I kind of like Tolle and Early. The Sox have now gone through 13 starters this season.
-
My tune hasn't changed. I was not upset when Breslow didn't make a big deal for a #2 starter in July. Far from it.
-
Ahem. Please tell us, one and all, the last time Sox pitching was dominant. Do I need to remind you, yet again, that the Sox have gone through 13 starters this season (including Crawford, who hasn't pitched but who started 33 games last year) to get where we are now? Or that July is the worst month to go after a really good starter and December is the best month?
-
"Blessing in disguise" !!!!???? Surprise to you and me maybe, but not to Breslow or Cora. Since the July 30 disastrous deadline failure, the Sox are 22-14 despite Bregman's slump, Mayer and Anthony going on the IL, Abreu still on the IL, Rafaela's slump, Ref on and off the IL, Yoshida's struggles at the plate, etc. What has kept the Sox going has been the pitching, the very thing you and FredLynn want us to believe has failed because Breslow refused to make a disadvantageous deal for a starter.

Nice rbi by Yoshida. I like 6-0.
-
5-0 in the 8th. Amazing.
-
Yes. I watch both the live action and the live gameday feed which shows each individual pitch, its location, its speed, and the computer's best guess on whether it's a slider, curve, 4 seamer, changeup, or whatever. I'm pretty sure my feed is from NESN.
-
Thanks to both of you. No doubt they will wait until they are back in Boston to get a diagnosis.
-
Too true.
-
MLB news quotes someone saying Romy has some kind of lower body injury, apparently the result of the double he hit.
-
Can't forget the old Sox of this 2025 season The ones who could fold like a cheap tent with men on 2d and 3d and no one out.
-
Agree on both.
-
He has pretty darn good command and a good repertoire. Getting out of 3 on and no one out was unreal.
-
This is also the proverbial 3d time through the batting order. Nice K!!!! Or, as Rick said to Ilsa, "we'll always have Sacramento."
-
Did no one talk to Early and remind him his first batter in the 5th had/had an OPS of .532? Now he has the top of the order with 0 outs and a man on 1b.
-
Tough call. On the bullpen side is that the Sox have Thursday off.
-
That's what I saw.
-
I'm looking at the mlb pitch by pitch pattern. Whattayougot?
