    Sale finally threw a beauty of a changeup, and the ump called it a ball. Whoops, he just called another strike by Sale a ball.

    Huge hit by Refsnyder, but it's not like the Sox haven't been making good contact. Devers just hit a shot, a one-hopper right to the firstbaseman.

    Finally, finally, a Sox player doesn't jump 6 feet back on an inside pitch. Dugo gets an HBP. I do believe the homeplate ump is giving Sale more calls than Matz. That 3d strike on Turner was on the money.
  4. Maxbialystock
    I wouldn't know.
  5. Maxbialystock
    Sure looks that way.

    Amazing. The NESN crew ignored the play on the field to do a pointless interview. I have no problem with interviews as voice overs, but NESN insists on show us the interviewer and interviewee because they assume the last thing we want to do is watch the game, the field, the fans in the stands, whatever.

    I thought Devers should have gone for 2b, but he was out by a mile.
  8. Maxbialystock
    All 3 Sox hitters have made good contact--but two were outs.
  9. Maxbialystock
    Agree.
  10. Maxbialystock
    Yankees win. Sox need a win to stay in 4th in the AL East.
  11. Maxbialystock
    Dugo steady in RF for the 3d out. That was decently hit--off of another changeup by Sale. Given all the righties he will face, it would help if that changeup had more break.
  12. Maxbialystock
    Hanging changeup by Sale in the middle of the zone for the double. But I like his command and mix so far in the 1st.

    I know they've both been good this season, but they both stunk last night. Indeed, the bullpen has been one of the Sox strengths this season. Plus you deliberately misinterpreted my point, which is that, given how lousy our rotation has been this season, we have needed the bullpen to get that winning record. If the bullpen--and I do recognize this was just one game--struggles, the Sox are in trouble. And last night wasn't just 1 or 2 runs, but 6 coughed up by the bullpen. In other words, a good start by Paxton and 6 runs scored by the offense were wasted. Where did you get the idea I wanted Winck and Jansen unavailable for the rest of the season? Also, why would you want them pitching today?

    $52 is a lot. I like Sale over Matz, obviously, but the Sox lefty lineup (vs righties) scores a whole lot more runs than the righty--163 runs vs. righties and 59 vs lefties. The Sox have faced lefty starters in 37 games and righty starters in 39 games.

    Yankees 3 up and 3 down in the 7th.
  16. Maxbialystock
    Rays pick up 2 in the 7th, and the game is now 9-8, Yankees.
  17. Maxbialystock
    Who is Hamilton?

    Ray @ Yankees series, now game 3 of 4, bears watching. Rays won game 1, 8-2, but Yankees came back to win game 2, 6-5, and now lead game 3, 9-6, in the 7th thanks to 4 runs in the 5th and 5 runs in the 6th. To remind: the Rays got off to an incredible start and right now are a stunning 30-10. But they are still just 8 games up on the Yankees, who are in 5th place in the AL East, 1/2 game behind the Sox. Making up an 8 game deficit with 120 games still to play is eminently doable. Someone else, moonslav, I think, pointed out that the Sox have a near-term opportunity because they aren't played against AL East teams. Given this presumed opportunity, last night's loss, thanks to the complete collapse of the Sox bullpen after an excellent first start by Paxton, is especially dismaying. Not only did Winckowski and Jansen give that game away, both are unavailable today--although one could fairly argue their unavailability is a good thing. I'm watching the Rays and Yankees and Yankee Stadium looks jam-packed.
  19. Maxbialystock
    You're right of course. I'm just pissed that the Sox had this one until Winck and Jansen just gave it away.
  20. Maxbialystock
    Tonight against the Cardinals Paxton pitched well and the bullpen--specifically Winckowski and Jansen--stunk to high heaven. What was the name of the Gilda Radnor book? "It's Always Something."
  21. Maxbialystock
    Weather was warm tonight, 82 degrees, and attendance was a solid 34,553 against a Cardinals team that has struggled so far this season. So it sure looks like the Sox fans will support a "no name" lineup, especially one that is winning games.
  22. Maxbialystock
    Just so.
  23. Maxbialystock
    I think that neither the A's fans nor the Rays fans care anything about their teams. They A's stink this year, so fan apathy is kind of understandable. But the Rays have the best record in MLB and are 23d in attendance.
  24. Maxbialystock
    This year's Red Sox team is not one bit like the Bruins, who had a terrific regular season. This Red Sox team has pretty much of a no name lineup that is nevertheless 3d in MLB in scoring runs, but also has a terrible pitching staff that is 26th in team ERA. There is literally no "should" with respect to whether or not the Sox win a game this season.
  25. Maxbialystock
    Attendance 34,553, which hopefully puts to bed my thesis that Sox fans don't like their team.
