    A revelation!
  2. Maxbialystock
    Yes it is. I'm a huge Connor Wong fan and think the starters are too. But I am fine with McGuire as the other catcher because in fact every MLB team needs two. moonslav and others say his defense was pretty good before this season, and I buy that. He bats lefty and Wong righty--also good.

    Well said. I've been kind of anti-starter-Houck before this season, but no longer. Last night he dazzled, including 3d time facing the top five hitters in the Angels order, because he has a better repertoire this year and last night much better command--plus he worked the lower part of the zone a lot. Great point about the competition!

    Thanks. Others have mentioned the weak teams, but you're the first with specific numbers.
  5. Maxbialystock
    Good points. In fact, now that you've explained it, I'm wondering why every MLB team has two trained catchers when that particular position is so easy to master. Anyone can do it. Just hold the freaking mitt up and let the bench call the pitches.
  6. Maxbialystock
    No. In the two losses it was pretty obvious the Sox got beat by superior pitching.
  7. Maxbialystock
    Who is giving up on McGuire? Not me. I've said several times the Sox need two catchers and I'm glad McGuire is one of them. That said, I'll bet Sale, Paxton, Bello, and Houck have all made it known to Cora that would rather have Wong catch them. Kluber probably has too.
  8. Maxbialystock
    Exactly right.
  9. Maxbialystock
    I never mentioned McGuire. Is he on the Sox roster? I just like Wong, which I guess is just not fair. And guess who else likes Wong? All the starters.
  10. Maxbialystock
    A fair point. Refsnyder could have started in LF with Yoshida the DH. On the other hand, 6 Sox are hitless so far in this game. Yoshida has two hits and Wong and Devers one each.
  11. Maxbialystock
    Prepare to read the cheapest of cheap shots. The Sox are playing their 4th game in a row, with three excellent starts in the 1st, 2d, and 4th games--and a lousy start in the 3d game. Wong caught/is catching the 1st, 2d, and 4th games.
  12. Maxbialystock
    Houck shook off Wong about ten times before throwing that first pitch that resulted in a ground out.
  13. Maxbialystock
    Thanks. He looked really tough tonight.
  14. Maxbialystock
    Turner, on the other hand, not so smart. Swung at an an outside pitch, a ball, and pulled it for an easy GIDP.
  15. Maxbialystock
    Yoshida might not be the best Sox hitter, but he absolutely is the smartest. Rarely does he not do the right thing with the bat.
  16. Maxbialystock
    Casa's shown some promised in May. We'll see.
  17. Maxbialystock
    This is his first start this season. I agree he's tough.
  18. Maxbialystock
    That's 3 straight excellent, excellent innings by Houck.
  19. Maxbialystock
    Yeah. Casas K'd because Barria threw some terrific pitches.
  20. Maxbialystock
    As if the Angels pitcher had nothing to do with their inability to hit. They're definitely awake and very frustrated.
  21. Maxbialystock
    Casa looked blindfolded on that at bat.
  22. Maxbialystock
    Terrific 3d and 4th innings by Houck.
  23. Maxbialystock
    Nice GIDP induced by Houck!!
  24. Maxbialystock
    So far we are seeing why Barria has an ERA below 2. He relies heavily on the slider and changeup--for good reason. 2d time thru the Sox lineup looks just as easy as the first time was.
  25. Maxbialystock
    That changeup is just killing our guys.
