But that's the way Duran is in some at bats. You know I'm right because we've both seen it.
-
Rays pitchers are not afraid to work the corners.
-
Interesting. Beeks throws 4 straight 4-seamers for balls to McGuire (also known as Wright) and now two straight changeups to Reyes for balls. Huge single by Reyes!!!!!!!
-
You picked the wrong time to sing this song. Duran was not going to hit Kelly, period. Also, the Rays do a much, much better job of working the edges of the strike zone than do the Sox pitchers. The home plate ump today has made a bunch of good calls on close ones.
-
Duran was dead meat the instant he stood in the batter's box. He had two pitches in the middle of the strike zone--one he let go by and the other he swung on and missed by a mile.
-
Looks like Pivetta will start the 2d game. Kluber looks like the same ace we've been rooting for all season long.
-
Meh. It wasn't that far off. Plus I doubt that it made a difference. Kelly had his number.
-
Duran looked completely helpless--and has looked that way too often lately. Yes, it was a sweeper he swung on and missed, but it was near the middle of the strike zone.
-
Casas is talking a blue streak to Duran. Not sure I like that.
-
So, in comes the righty to pitch to Ref, and out of the dugout comes Duran. It's only the 5th inning, but it's a 4-1 game, the Sox have 2 on base and a real opportunity.
-
Unbelievable how many sinkers La Sorsa throws.
-
I think the Rays do this more than anyone else. Start a righty against all those lefty bats, then go to a lefty in the 3d inning. Also this. The Sox finally score one run, and the Rays have a lengthy conference on the mound with 1 out, a man on first, and Devers coming to the plate. Devers gets his pitch, a sinker in the middle and hits a chopper to 3b for the ground out to get the lead runner.
-
Agree.
-
My guess is the Sox will consider Mayer for starting SS next year primarily for his defense and hope he can adapt to MLB pitching over time. He can definitely hit.
-
I'm completely in favor of universal health care. Most VA hospitals, I agree, can't compete with the for profit civilian ones, but they aren't too bad on routine stuff--and they are free. Hospitals runs by the services are better than VA hospitals
-
I thought the same thing, but I also have a high opinion of Wong's intelligence as a catcher.
-
He's what we've got. Story languishes on the IL for the 2d year in a row. Chang injured himself swinging the freaking bat. Arroyo's played SS and he too is on the IL. And Marcelo Mayer, the Sox highest draft since 2009--4th overall in 2021--was just promoted to AA Portland. He can hit and field and had to be a big reason why Bogey wasn't re-signed.
-
I noticed and agree. But my big hangup is with those heavy gold necklaces. I think Dugo wears two--and they never seem to interfere with his fielding.
-
About American vets now being discussed in the booth. I could be wrong, but I do believe no other nation does more for their vets than the American people. Of course, we do send them off to fight in an awful lot of wars.
-
Kelley's release angle is giving the Sox fits.
-
The box score seems to say Tampa is once again running a clinic, just as they did in April at the Trop. True?
-
Is that right? Were all 3 runs in the 2d legitimately charged to Whitlock?
-
I missed the top of the 2d. The mlb summary and box score say the error by Kike did not lead to any unearned runs. All 3 are charged to Whitlock. Whoops, there goes another rubber tree plant--error #2 by Kike, again on his throw.
-
Thanks. That explains why the challenge by the Reds failed. Wong had complete control of the throw from Dugo.
-
And why not?
