Sox go down in order in the bottom of the 5th against a lefty reliever. Here we go again. Clean leadoff single in top of 6th. 3d time through the Tigers batting order.
-
I think you're right he had no play.
-
Hamilton with plenty of time, still makes a bad throw to 1b--caught for the out. Then Valdez mishandles a grounder, now called a single. Sox defense is doing all they can to keep this Detroit rally going.
-
1st and 3d, both hard hit balls, no one out in top of 5th. Tigers definitely threatening.
-
Excellent throw to get Duran stealing 2b.
-
Could be, but don't forget moonslav's point about earned runs that really were unearned.
-
Don't swear. Besides, you're wrong. So far this is his best game this year--he looks sharp.
-
Nevertheless, he is persevering, and I think some credit should go to McGuire. He has a much better CERA this season than Wong, and I think it's lefit.
-
Ref is better.
-
I swear Bello has the worst control/command of any pitcher for the Sox.
-
Am I right that neither Smith nor Cooper passed through Worcester?
-
Well, mostly all. Coop K's with men on 1st and 3d.
-
On the surface that is unarguable--and made worse by the fact that both Smith and Cooper are in the game. But Cora knows all.
-
Valdez is red hot.
-
Ugly top of the 1st that ended well. Bello threw almost everything right down the middle and got away with it despite leadoff single and BB. On that missed double play, I can't decide who looked worse, Hamilton on the bad throw or Bello cringing at 1b.
-
Thanks. I was in a hurry.
-
Mize ® vs. Bello ®, about even but I give the edge to Bello Duran LF Abreu RF Smith 1B Devers 3B Valdez 2B Cooper DH McGuire C Rafaela CF Hamilton SS Once again, 7 lefty bats for the Sox, who are going for the series win.

A Realistic View of 2024: Part II

A shame, but Spain and Portugal sound great. Could not agree more with your trip. -
He did not "close the spigot." Even this year, 5 years after the 2019 season, the Sox payroll is $182M, 11th biggest of 30 MLB teams. Two years after 2019 in the 2021 season, the Sox payroll was 6th highest and that was enough to produce a team good enough to make it to the ALCS--something only 1 of DD's four Red Sox teams accomplished.
-
Boy, you sure know how to misrepresent things. DD was hired in August 2015. LESS THAN TWO YEARS EARLIER THE SOX WON THE 2013 WORLD SERIES. That was also the Sox 3d WS win in the previous decade, 2004-2014. Also, as I keep saying and you keep ignoring, JH pretty much gave DD carte blanche--the Sox payrolls under DD were 3d largest, 2d largest, largest, and largest in DD's 4 seasons. However, in that last season, 2019, with the Sox already with the biggest payroll in MLB, DD had to go to JH and tell he needed a lot more money to keep Mookie and find two really good starters to replace Sale and Price--while still paying Sale and Price.
-
You are so completely full of it. Seriously. In DD's 4 seasons as the Sox CBO, their payrolls were ranked 3d, 2d, 1st, and 1st. What broke the bank at Monte Carlo was the collapse of the Sox in 2019 with the biggest payroll in MLB and DD going to John Henry saying "I need a whole lot more money to meet Mookie's demands, which the Dodgers are more than happy to meet, plus I need a bunch of money to replace David Price and Chris Sale while we continue to pay them."
-
Nice win, 2 run dinger by the Tigers in the 9th notwithstanding. Sox are 8-5 since losing 4 straight (May 15-18) to Tampa Bay and St Louis. Up ahead (after 1 more game vs Tigers) are-- 2 vs. the 32-23 Braves, 4 vs. the 15-43 White Sox, 3 vs 40-18 Phillies, 3 vs. 40-19 Yankees.
-
Late to the game. Why is Wong in for Grissom?
-
Surprising game. Criswell and Bernardino both pitched well--which isn't surprising for Bernardino but is for Criswell--and the Sox lineup has played good D and scored 6 freaking runs. Home plate ump likes to call strikes. Fine with me as long as its for both sides.
-
We were both wrong. Today Valdez is THE MAN.
