  1. What a game!!! What a streak!!! What a team, but especially Casas, Turner, Crawford, Jansen, Refsnyder, Duvall, Bernardino, and Winck!!!
  2. Devers doing his level best to take the heat off of Dugo. He has looked like crap at the plate tonight.
  3. Bloom had nothing to do with it. Cora's the one who had him bat for Duran.
  4. What is it with our relievers who can't seem to throw a pitch low in the zone? Martin was just begging for that dinger. I think he asked the batter where he wanted that fastball placed.
  5. Words to conjure with. I think you've captured the whole season to date.
  6. Single by Wong, sac bunt by Chang, pinch hitter by Cora, and rbi (with RISP) single by Refsnyder. Top of the 8th almost as impressive as the great comeback in the bottom of the 7th, especially by Turner with that glove flip to get the out. Thank goodness Winck got his command back, after which he was just nasty.
  7. He definitely did that. But they were close enough to call.
  8. Wow, what a recovery!!! Way to go, Winck!!! Definitely clutch pitching.
  9. Sox need me to be their pitching coach. As soon as Winck threw some pitches down in the zone, he got guys out. Terrific play by Turner!!!
  10. His command sucks. Not one single pitch low in the zone. So everything in the strike zone is very hittable.
  11. I know it was never Candlestick because I looked it up. But it reminds me of Candlestick, which I thought was one of the best names ever for a ballpark.
  12. Webb is their best pitcher, so right now I'm delighted to get the first run. Crawford has looked pretty sharp.
  13. 90 down here in Greensboro, but humid and uncomfortable.
  14. Hold it right there, dipstick. Did you miss that line drive single by Duran? Too bad he got nailed on the steal. On that slide it sure looked like a damp infield, which definitely slowed down both the slide and the run to 2b. All it takes is a little extra hosing before the umps show up.
  15. I give Crawford absolutely zippo style points. Fortunately, what counts is what the ball does when it gets to the plate, and tonight Crawford looks really sharp--the breaking balls especially. Great ball park even though I liked the name Candlestick a whole lot more.
  16. Temp is 62 degrees at Oracle Park.
  17. I have been down on Duvall for literally months, so I sure hope I get to eat those words. That was a terrific double, much like his dinger in the last game. Casas seems to have the only lefty Sox bat in the game. Duran, Yoshida, Devers, and Dugo looked completely hapless against righty Webb.
  18. Good thing Casas batted 6th because he had a man on 2d when he hit the double. If he had batted 1st, 2d, or 3d, it would have been wasted.
  19. Duran and especially Yoshida both looked like crap in their first at bats--against mostly 92-93 fastballs.
  20. That's because the OPS standard for LF is .900, which Duran comes closer to.
  21. Isn't pitching--specifically, a decent starter-- the one thing the Sox need the most?
  22. Historically, the Sox have not wanted a .700 OPS guy in CF.
  23. Casas is batting 6th tonight. A good bat can do a lot of damage in the 6 slot. Cora has no reason to tell (or admit) jack to masslive. The Dodgers, a big money team that leads in the NL West, is using Kike exactly the same way Cora did and for the same reason. I disagree with masslive about Verdugo, but don't know any more than you do. I think it's just a slump and temporary, but I could be wrong. His defense is still good, however.
