    If May pitches the 6th and gives up 0 runs, it's a quality start. The 1st run was unearned.
  2. Maxbialystock
    Sox are in a long stretch with no days off. Plus May pitched well for 4 iP--0 ER.
  3. Maxbialystock
    Miracle break for May--neat GIDP by Bregman and a nice grab by Anthony. Sox down 2-4 in the bottom of the 5th.
  4. Maxbialystock
    A cheap single, and HBP, and a BB to load the bases with no one out. Mr Hyde broke out and has taken over the Sox mound. No one out yet in the 5th with 3 runs in and 2 men on.
  5. Maxbialystock
    Pirates 2 on, no one out in the 5th. A very weak single and an HBP.
  6. Maxbialystock
    Gonzalez redeems himself! Line drive single to bring Story home. Rafaela slump continues. Out by a mile stealing 2b.
  7. Maxbialystock
    Good May is pitching today. Mr Hyde is locked up in the Patriots locker room.
  8. Maxbialystock
    Duran, lefty bat vs righty pitcher, aggressively swings at the first pitch well out side the strike zone. The Sox look like crap, but a lot of that is because Oveido working the edges.
  9. Maxbialystock
    In the replay Narvaez doesn't even look like he is swinging hard on the dinger. Anthony Ks twice on a total of 7 pitches.
  10. Maxbialystock
    Way to go, Narvaez!!! The polar opposite of dirtbag Gonzalez in this game.
  11. Maxbialystock
    Oviedo is doing a great job of working the edges of the strike zone.
  12. Maxbialystock
    And it absolutely had to be.
  13. Maxbialystock
    Plus Gonzalez made the error that led to the unearned run and then struck with men on 1b and 2b. That was a short paternity leave.
  14. Maxbialystock
    Those lovely numbers ignore that the Sox OPS's are worse in August and that 2 of the 6 ain't here today. Abreu with his freaking tight calf muscle is not expected back until the 10th.
  15. Maxbialystock
    To me the only real concern is the hitting/scoring. Season to date the Sox overall OPS is .748 and with RISP it's .746. With runners on base it's .756.
  16. Maxbialystock
    Mayer's wrist was waiting to go bad. He should have had surgery the first time 2 or 3 years ago. I agree his loss is significant. He sure wasn't hitting lefties, but his righty OPS was .739 and his defense excellent in just 44 games. Hamilton's August OPS is an insane 1.076 and he is our best defensive 2b. He and Gonzalez are a good fix at 2b and, when he returns, Lowe is at 1b. In 67 games Anthony's WAR is an insane 3.1. As you predicted, he has tied Bregman in OPS and should go right past him in the Pirates series. His one "flaw" is that he doesn't hit the green monster enough.

    My realistic view of the 2025 Sox is that they are in a good spot but with a lot of work still to be done. Their hitting is suspect and the pitching is not. Last night they added a 5th starter, Tolle, who, despite his pitch limitation, makes this the best Sox rotation in decades. Weissert stunk last night, but overall the bullpen has been good. But the hitting/scoring in August has not been good. Abreu will be out maybe another 2 weeks. Lowe is on paternity leave. Bregman is in a slump (OPS .768 in August), and so are Gonazlez (.702), Duran (.689), Yoshida (.619), Rafaela (.591), and Wong/Narvaez (.591/.513),
  18. Maxbialystock
    My impression is that Anthony is a good outfielder, but determined to avoid injury--because his hitting benefits the team far more than his defense.
  19. Maxbialystock
    Major, shmajor. Lots of K's come from pitches a foot or more outside the strike zone. We've all seen Anthony K on a pitch in the dirt. So has Bregman. Story and Duran lead the Sox in K's with 152 and 142. Rafaela has 95. Abreu has 93 and has played in 12 fewer games than Rafaela. Anthony, our best hitter right now, has K'd 77 times in just 67 games.
  20. Maxbialystock
    Well said.
  21. Maxbialystock
    Here are August OPS's and games played in August-- Hamilton 1.076, 9 games Anthony .957, 24 games Refsnyder .924, 7 games Lowe .856, 9 games Abreu .832, 14 games Story .818. 26 games Bregman .768, 26 games Gonzalez .702, 21 games Duran .689, 24 games Yoshida .619, 20 games Rafaela .597, 26 games Wong/Narvaez, .591/.513, 28 games Toro .406, 14 games Wong and Narvaez, .591 and .513 (14 games each) Hamilton's August OPS is 1.076 in 9 games. Ref's is .924 in 7 games. Lowe's is .856 in 9 games. Abreu's is .832 in 14 games

    Yesterday was memorable both for the starters and eventually for the Sox ineptitude at the plate yet again. The Pirates, the worst hitting team in MLB, had 4 doubles last night and two of them were hard hit and off of Weissert, who has a lot to answer for. Last night was his 6th blown save this season.
  23. Maxbialystock
    Maybe the velocity is why he lacks control and a good curve/slider/changeup/whatever.
  24. Maxbialystock
    Not unreasonable. However, we do know the bullpen stunk tonight as did the hitting.
  25. Maxbialystock
    He's there for the crucial experience of pitching in MLB, not to go to 100 pitches for the first time ever. As it was, he went over his planned number of 72. The bullpen stunk. So did the hitting.
