    Houck was as good as I've seen him this season. I would have left him in even though Schwarber got that clean single last time up. Bleier showed me nothing. In fact, my guess is that the only good thing he has is throwing lefty vs. lefty hitters.

    Cora makes his move, and it turns out to be a rotten one. That could be the ball game.
  3. Maxbialystock
    That ain't no blind squirrel on the mound today. Like I said, he started 29 games for the Mets last season and did pretty well. And today it's obvious he is throwing a good assortment of pitches.

    I don't like Bryce Harper and think he's vastly overpaid as a DH. But that sucker sure can hit. I'm not that impressed with his recovery (140 days?) from tommy john, but very impressed that he's been hitting well in the short time he's been back.

    Walker has been in MLB for 10 years and is just 30. Last season he was pretty good for the Mets. Other seasons, not so much. Today he has not been lucky. Just good.
  6. Maxbialystock
    Walker is pitching a heckuva game.
  7. Maxbialystock
    Just for the record. Sox starters have not often gone 5 innings giving up just 2 runs this season.
  8. Maxbialystock
    Meh. His DWAR to date is 0.0. That said, I really like him in RF, much more than in LF where the Sox had him until last season.
  9. Maxbialystock
    Dugo struggling with the sun or whatever in RF today.

    I have been about as anti-Houck as a starter as anyone, but this year I like him.
  11. Maxbialystock
    Agree.
  12. Maxbialystock
    That's two very hard hit balls by Casas to CF in this series. And this one made the score 2-1.
  13. Maxbialystock
    Excellent point!!!

    Some credit to the Phillies pitcher. He looks to me as though he as pretty good stuff today. That splitter looks pretty effective, but so are his other breaking balls.
  15. Maxbialystock
    OK. Could have been worse. No big blows, but a little of clean singles. Plus Devers could have gotten a pretty good GIDP--assuming, of course, Wong would have had enough time to get the guy going to 1b. Even with that, however, I think the Phillies still get the 1 run. The real difference today is the Phillies starter Walker has been very effective.
  16. Maxbialystock
    Houck does not have great stuff. That looks like maybe Schwarber's first hit in the whole 3 game series.
  17. Maxbialystock
    So far the bottom of the 4th today looks exactly like the top of the 4th yesterday. Let's hope Philly doesn't get 5 runs. Whoops. Devers non-error cost a perfect double play. But he alertly tagged the guy going to 3b.
  18. Maxbialystock
    Turner gets a rest.
  19. Maxbialystock
    Wong has an overall WAR of +1.2. McGuire's is +0.1.

    2018 a pretty good year--resting of lineup players noted on talksox. 2019 a bust, the dismissal of DD, and the arrival of Chaim Bloom. 2020 a nonyear--plus Cora out of MLB. 2021 a surprisingly good year, especially getting to the ALCS without a closer--and the only blown save was in the 6th inning of an ALCS game. 2022 a bad year thanks mostly to bad pitching. Not sure another manager could have done better. And this year, still very young, surprisingly good because of the hitting. And most of the "resting" of position players has been the result of injuries--Chang, Story, Duvall, Yoshida, Dugo (illness?), et al. Management of pitching staff, pretty good, especially in view of weak rotation. Cora has benefitted from the emergence of Duvall, briefly, Duran, Yoshida, Dugo, and the two catchers.

    Sox have the 4th best W-L record in MLB. Only Tampa, Baltimore, and Atlanta are better.
  22. Maxbialystock
    Attendance 43,832.
  23. Maxbialystock
    Exactly.
  24. Maxbialystock
    Ever win this year is to be savored--that is, if you remember last spring. Kluber just notched another win with 3 runs in 5 innings. Some pretty good guys--Schreiber, Bernardino, Winckowski, and Jansen--backed him up in the 6th-9th innings.
  25. Maxbialystock
    Right. In this series I just love the way he's hitting.
