Orioles feed on MASN shows the Oriole players postgame congratulations for Bradish.
-
How neat is that! On the scene commentary.
-
My, my. 5-0, no Chapman tonight.
-
Agree. He definitely has more stamina than anyone else. Plus he has the proverbial 5 tools. Plus he's the freaking SS!
-
Sure did.
-
Gutsy K to finish the 8th!!!!
-
Another excellent grab by Duran--no "whoopsies." Looks like Giolito is out of gas. His first BB.
-
That "liner" by Duran needed eyes to fall in safely. Giolito for the 8th? Yes!!
-
That first foul by Rafaela was tell-tale. He swung at everything, missed nothing, and finally got the double.
-
Finally. Someone else who actually watched the game. Semi-lucky 7th for Giolito. Napoleon said he'd rather have lucky marshals than smart ones. Send Giolito back out for the 8th!
-
Now that was a good changeup! By Akin for the groundout.
-
I forgot the days in a row. Good call.
-
Giolito catches a break for the K. His changeup is flat when it's up in the zone, but not when it's low. Quality start for Giolito,. It will really help if the Sox could get a run or 2 in the 7th so Giolito could maybe gone one more inning. Akin is a lefty of course.
-
Never, ever give the other guy credit. After all, this is slow-pitch, right?
-
Huge advantage to have 2 competent catchers they can rotate like this. Both play rested.
-
Bradish has better stuff than Giolito, but Gioliito had better control through 4 IP. Then the Orioles started hitting his stuff hard in the 5th because he wasn't hitting the corners any more. Hamilton will likely keep 2b when the opposing starter is a righty.
-
Agree. 2025 Bello could have been our #1 starter the last 4 seasons. Crochet is a cut above a normal #1. I suspect of talksoxers really want another Crochet as our #2--ERA around 2.50, a bunch of quality starts, a couple of complete games, and of course tied for the MLB lead in innings pitched. By that standard, Bello is nowhere near good enough.
-
Good laydown. Makes sense. But almost all acquisitions are gambles. Ask the Giants who plummeted after acquiring Devers. Ask the Sox who dumped Sale and acquired Giolito (and a year later Buehler). Sandoval is a gamble for sure. Heck, coming into this season the rotation went haywire.
-
Same lineup as last night except Narvaez in for Wong and also batting 9th. 2 straight games with Hamilton at 2b instead of Gonzalez.
-
True he announced it last week, but we didn't know who would start and then restart until yesterday.
-
Great. Don't forget to wave at us. 😁

A Realistic View of the 2025 Red Sox: Part II

I disagree with average. Story ain't headed for a gold glove, but man oh man does he do a lot of things well. Put it this way: maybe his physical skills are average, but his intellect/instincts are way above average and that is crucial for all shortstops. Plus I think both he and Bregman make consistently good throws. The Sox, at least during the highly successful JH era, have tended to prefer hitting over fielding in their SS's. Their best fielding SS's don't last too long, but the ones who can hit do. This year Story is an asset on the field and at bat and the first Sox SS to do so in the JH era. -

You nailed it.
