Right now I'm fine with Hamilton/Gonzalez whose WAR's are 1/1.1. Plus Hamilton is hitting well in August. Despite playing in just 58 games, Hamilton has the 5th best DWAR, 1.3, among 2bmen.
-
36,391 of the faithful made it to the Fens today. That's getting to be normal--and the first that's been true since 2019.
-
You're right about Tolle of course. But yesterday I was very impressed. And I forgot Cora will continue to limit his pitches.
-
Great points! I've complained ad nauseum about the Sox hitting, but in fact the Pirates pitching was solid.
-
Yep. I think that's why Cora left May in. Once the Pirates got to 5 runs, the game was unwinnable.
-
He has 2 quality starts--against the Orioles and Astros (whom he held scoreless for 6IP). He was pretty decent today for 4 innings, after which the wheels came off. He held the Orioles to 2 runs in 6 IP before Moran and Hicks came in an gave up 4 more in 3 IP. To be honest, I don't understand all this griping about our 5th starter. When did we ever have a great one? Right now we have the best top 4 starters of any team in MLB. The hitting is what stinks.
-
Campbell was a disaster at 2b. Hamilton has the 3d best DWAR for 2d basemen in MLB. Today he hit the ball hard twice while Anthony was striking out 3 times. The Sox believe Campbell has a lot of potential, but he is nowhere near it right now.
-
Oh, look and see!! Weissert is terrific with no one on base and the Sox down, 9-3. Chalk this one up.
-
Agree May is not yet a disaster. Plus Tolle looks like an awfully good 4th starter. The bullpen doesn't look so hot, but have been good. Overall, the Sox pitching is good. The problem now is the hitting. Bases loaded. Hope the Sox can make me eat my words. Nope. Gonzalez and Narvaez come thru with K's with the bases loaded. These are our Boston Red Sox right now. Don't forget that the top 3 in the order are hitless with 5 K's in 9 at bats. Ain't that something?
-
Don't give that me 20-20 hindsight stuff. Weissert killed us last night but he was the right guy to send out. And, oh, by the way, the Sox scored 2 stinking runs, one of them unearned. Today they also have 2 runs,.
-
Don't forget the warmups. One of them is out there right now giving up hits and walks. One more time. Cora stuck with May because he knew this game was unwinnable. The hitting stinks and the bullpen is struggling.
-
Nope (of course). The bullpen is overworked and the hitting stinks.
-
I think so. The hitting stinks, and the bullpen has been worked hard because of no off days recently. Are you unaware Cora had to use 5 relievers last night?
-
He went straight south after the 4th. Ugly pitching in the 5th, then followed by solid hitting in the 5th and 6th.
-
I think it's entirely possible the Pirates will sweep this series.
-
Shame on me for defending May.
-
Anthony K's for the 3d time against a righty pitcher who absolutely has his number. He also has Bregman's number and Duran's. That's the top 3 in the Sox batting order.
-
If May pitches the 6th and gives up 0 runs, it's a quality start. The 1st run was unearned.
-
Sox are in a long stretch with no days off. Plus May pitched well for 4 iP--0 ER.
-
Miracle break for May--neat GIDP by Bregman and a nice grab by Anthony. Sox down 2-4 in the bottom of the 5th.
-
A cheap single, and HBP, and a BB to load the bases with no one out. Mr Hyde broke out and has taken over the Sox mound. No one out yet in the 5th with 3 runs in and 2 men on.
-
Pirates 2 on, no one out in the 5th. A very weak single and an HBP.
-
Gonzalez redeems himself! Line drive single to bring Story home. Rafaela slump continues. Out by a mile stealing 2b.
-
Good May is pitching today. Mr Hyde is locked up in the Patriots locker room.
