    Seriously? Those 2 runs were by the first two batters in the 3d after Hill had retired the side in order in the 2d inning? And since that 3d inning dinger, Hill has managed to get 6 outs with no more runs scored.
  2. Maxbialystock
    Now that was a changeup, and a mile outside.
  3. Maxbialystock
    I could be wrong, but I think that changeup affects their decision-making vs. fastballs.
  4. Maxbialystock
    I'm sure the MLBPA supports all unvaccinated players. Protecting their "choice" is probably in the latest agreement.
  5. Maxbialystock
    I'm not impressed with Hill, but am also OK with Cora's decision-making. I'm looking at mlb.com pitch by pitch, and it says Hill just threw a changeup for that third out ground out. Is that right? If it is, what was he waiting for? Ditto Vazquez.
  6. Maxbialystock
    For a reliever, maybe/probably, but not for a starter.
  7. Maxbialystock
    Bundy, on the other hand, has 3 pitches--slow fastball just like Hill's, curve just like Hill's, and that changeup. Plus maybe a cut fastball. Two pitches are simply not enough.
  8. Maxbialystock
    Like I said. Two pitches ain't enough.
  9. Maxbialystock
    Superstition and downright ignorance. See the new thread on the injury list by mvp78. Apparently, a bunch of Sox players won't make the trip to Toronto because they don't quite believe in vaccinations.
  10. Maxbialystock
    I love pitching to contact--just not real good contact.
  11. Maxbialystock
    Amazing. 250 years ago Americans, including George Washington, were happy to be vaccinated against smallpox.
  12. Maxbialystock
    Doesn't look as though two pitches, a big curve and an 88 mph fast ball, are going to be enough.
  13. Maxbialystock
    Agree.
  14. Maxbialystock
    Apparently, mental telepathy works.

    GAME STARTS AT 11:10 AM Listen, my children, and you shall hear Of the midnight rid of Paul Revere On the eighteenth of April in Seventy-Five: Hardly a man is now alive Who remembers that famous day and year. Righty Bundy vs. lefty Hill with 3 changes from yesterday's lineup-- Enrique CF Raffie 3B Bogey SS JDM DH Verdugo LF Arroyo 2B Shaw 1B Vazquez C JBJ RF
  16. Maxbialystock
    Except for the Orioles the AL East is a traffic jam--just like last year. Boston, thanks to today, has the biggest run differential, +7. Twins are the bigger deal because the Sox play them tomorrow with Bundy (5 shutout innings 5 days ago vs. Seattle) going against our 42 year old lefty, Hill.
  17. Maxbialystock
    Today was a pretty good pitching duel until the Sox broke it open in the 8th.
  18. Maxbialystock
    mlb.com says tomorrow's games starts at 11:10 am

    After Brasier got those bases loaded with the score at 2-1 in the 7th, this is a welcome bottom of the 8th. I thought Cora was nuts to leave Brasier in, but he got the K.
  20. Maxbialystock
    Fifteen pitch K could prove costly. If so, I blame Plawecki and/or Cora.
  21. Maxbialystock
    Dalbec ain't hitting much, but he's gotten pretty good at catching those short throws to 1b. Funny thing, but there's not stat for those grabs. Indeed, if he mishandles one, the error is on the thrower.
  22. Maxbialystock
    Against righty Ober, same Sox lineup today except Plawecki is catching Wacha (whom Vazquez caught last time)-- Enrique Raffie Bogey JDM Verdugo Story Dalbec JBJ Plawecki
  23. Maxbialystock
    Terrific, in fact. Just 10 hits in the game, 8 BB's, and 10 K's--and four glorious DP's, including the K + throw to 2b by Vazquez.
  24. Maxbialystock
    Fear and loathing? I would rather say that a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds. Part of the beauty of sports is the ever present threat and reality of inconsistency. Crash Davis: just one more hit a week is the difference between batting .250 and .300. Yesterday Houck threw strikes just 56% of the time--with 4 K's and 3 BB's--but he still managed to go 5.2 shutout innings.

    Actually, baseball did more to attack racism than the Congress, the Senate and House, and the Supreme Court when the Dodgers integrated in 1947, one year before President Truman integrated the armed services. Indeed, one could well argue that one led to the other and that MLB and baseball writ large have done a better job of integrating and mitigating racism then has the government and/or the armed services. Violence and racism were/are endemic to American society. And one could fairly say that arguing with umpires was therapeutic for managers, players, and fans alike. Those arguments were time-consuming, but sixty and more years ago they still played games quickly (compared to today).
