    He's back to just knuckle curves and fastballs, which are his strength. Whoops. He just got a strike on a freaking changeup!!!!!
  2. Maxbialystock
    Better to say he has the 4th best WAR on a pitching staff with the 14th best ERA in the AL. So good point. 2d year is relevant because Bloom picked him up on rule 5, so he was kind of an unknown and to some degree still is. Closer? Longish reliever? Starter? 2d year is also relevant because no one knows for sure what his durability is. He's started 9 games, pitched in 30, with 77 innings total. Only four starters--Pivetta, Wacha, Hill, and Eovaldi--have pitched more innings. That said, 77 innings ain't that many if it includes 9 starts. Pivetta has thrown 160 innnings. All that said, he has one of best repertoires on the team--maybe the best. But, as we saw tonight, he can make mistakes.

    Earlier this year, I would have disagreed. But two things have happened since then. Mostly, his hitting stroke is back. But in addition I think he's found a home in RF, as weird as that sounds/reads. He looks way better in RF than he ever did in LF. Another Sox line drive for an easy out.
  4. Maxbialystock
    Very good way to put it. The flip side is that good pitchers who don't make mistakes can get good hitters out.
  5. Maxbialystock
    Vehemently disagree. This is his 2d freaking season, and has the 4th best WAR on the pitching staff.
  6. Maxbialystock
    Yes he did. A slider down the middle with not much break.
  7. Maxbialystock
    Heckuva prediction.
  8. Maxbialystock
    Bang for the buck comes before free agency. Thus the interest in drafting and developing and even trading for young talent.
  9. Maxbialystock
    He was a first round pick and has progressed nicely, so I agree. Dugo has now hit two line drives, one to left and the other to right--right to the outfielders.

    I do enjoy the camera shots of fans at Fenway. They had one of an older couple with the wife helping her husband put on what looked like red pancho they bought before the game.
  11. Maxbialystock
    Kike 3 K's tonight. Ditto Pham. Raffy twice. McGuire the only Sox hitter with 2 hits (out of 5 total). That's right, sports fans, for the first time this year, the Sox have 4 runs off of 3 dingers--Casas with the 2-run version.
  12. Maxbialystock
    Before tonight his September OPS was .967. August was .515. Season is .880.
  13. Maxbialystock
    OK. That's 7. Like I said eons ago, this is a much better game than I expected.
  14. Maxbialystock
    You have your tinkers to evers to chance, and now we've got Schreiber to Whitlock to Barnes. Plus the brilliant, irreplaceable Brasier, of course.
  15. Maxbialystock
    Not Devers fault at all. I've read right here on Talksox that the umpires have no idea where the strike zone is. If we only had robo-umps, hitters would never swing at bad pitches. And pitchers, rejuvenated by getting a fair shake on strikes, would paint the corners pitch after pitch after pitch. Annie Savoy and Walt Whitman had it wrong.
  16. Maxbialystock
    Why in the wide, wide world of sports would Cole keep throwing hittable pitches to JDM when little leaguers would know to serve up sliders to the outside? No way will the Yankee announcers mention that.
  17. Maxbialystock
    Not a good at bat for Raffy.
  18. Maxbialystock
    What I really like is that it was a first pitch swing. Sox hitters seem reluctant to go after first pitches.
  19. Maxbialystock
    Tell us what the Yankee announcers are saying about that!!!!!! Hello, Pesky pole! 4-3 with a dinger from Bogey!!
  20. Maxbialystock
    Bottom of the 6th with Dugo, Bogey, and Raffy. Need something, guys. It's your third look at Cole tonight.
  21. Maxbialystock
    Brasier in for Pivetta, and the Talksoxers come alive. Ok, all the right field stands look full. I'm saying 36K. Brasier comes through like the champ he's always been.
  22. Maxbialystock
    Probably. But you did need 5 of those rascals.
  23. Maxbialystock
    Just got a quick peek at the crowd. Looks almost full.
  24. Maxbialystock
    My NOAA map says the rain shouldn't get to Fenway for 2 more hours.
  25. Maxbialystock
    #56. 3-3. Both Yankee dingers to right center and therefore well hit. So was Casas's well hit. Mcguire's curled around Pesky pole.
