  1. Jansen warming up. Mr "I only have one pitch, but it's plenty."
  2. Rafaela and Duran, double and single, simple as that! Do we owe that to the Brewers 1b coach?
  3. Looks like the Brewers are getting the ball/strike calls today. To be honest, the Sox hitters don't deserve any calls. They can't hit. They can't bunt. But their fielding is fine today.
  4. Brewers have just 1 run in 7 innings with McGuire catching. They hammered Crawford and Pivetta with Wong catching.
  5. What was that all about?
  6. I'm not sure it matters who the Brewers have on the mound. The Sox hitting stinks, simple as that.
  7. Back to back excellent bunts by the Brewers. Sox can't bunt worth spit. That's on Cora.
  8. Top two in the Sox order, both lefty bats facing a righty pitcher, can't bring home Grissom on 3b or Rafaela on 2b. This is the fundamental problem with the 2024 Sox. Weak hitting when opportunities arise.
  9. Duran folds/K's like a cheap tent. 2 outs with men on 2d and 3d.
  10. Rafaela steals 2b without a throw.
  11. Good reversal. Close call, so, hard to blame the ump. Rafaels singles to And in comes a righty to face Duran. Advantage Sox.
  12. Grissom, yes, Grissom leads off the 5th with a sweet single. Followed by Hamilton's stupid and terrible bunt on a pitch well outside the strike zone. Bunts can still be effective, as team after team playing against the Sox have demonstrated. But you actually have to practice bunting, which clearly the Sox don't believe in.
  13. He's heard of it, but his antennae are busted.
  14. Ahem. Hamilton's OPS is .750. Rafaela still leads the Sox in rbi's.
  15. That's two SB attempts in 3 innings. Cora needs to gamble some because the hitting is moribund.
  16. Notable--to me, anyway--that Houck today is faring better with McGuire behind the plate than Crawford and Pivetta did with Wong.
  17. Sox defense looking ok to good, but then there is the small matter of hitting and pitching--in which the Brewers have dominated the Sox more than any other team this season. Crawford and Pivetta were both clobbered while the Sox lineup remained supine.
  18. Body builders apparently believe that baseball is not actually a game of skills. Nor, I hasten to add, a game of endurance.
  19. Smart baseball, modern or not. Worked like a charm both days.
  20. They're swinging because they love what Pivetta is serving up: 3 doubles, 4 singles, and 2 walks. They also like that he only has 2 pitches, a curve and a fastball.
  21. It's kismet. Pivetta loves his fast ball, and so do the Brewers.
  22. Abreu is short and dumpy and exactly what you don't want covering RF at the Fens, but he has been terrific. So mental telepathy works. Who knew? I keep saying, "use the curve, use the curve," and Pivetta finally does.
  23. 2 straight games the Brewers have started with a reliever. 2 outs last night, 4 tonight--then in comes the starter.
