    You mean Whitlock, the guy who killed the Sox two games ago when he gave up that game-tying dinger in the 8th inning?
  2. Maxbialystock
    Fine. Let's agree it was a low percentage play. But none of the Sox other "plays" were working, not when they go 25 consecutive innings while scoring one freaking run. Frankly, I'd rather Cora do something, even low percentage, than let his guys roll over and play dead, which is what they have done. I hasten to add that I'm only talking about these last 3 games. This team, this lineup, this pitching staff, and this manager have had a terrific season.
  3. Maxbialystock
    Well, his team certainly won in decisive fashion, so I can't disagree. But I also think 25 consecutive Sox innings of scoring one total run is kind of hard to blame on Cora. But sure, give Dusty Baker credit for getting the right guys on the mound.
  4. Maxbialystock
    It can't get any worse, so why not try a hit and run?
  5. Maxbialystock
    Well, at least Dalbec hit it.
  6. Maxbialystock
    Winnable only if it was a 3 game series. So far in the final 3 games the Sox have scored a total of 3 runs in 25 innings. The Astros pitching have completely dominated the Sox bats.
  7. Maxbialystock
    Dalbec is hitless in the postseason with 6 K's in 11 at bats, and you think he's going to get a hit against the Astros pitching? The Sox--Devers--couldn't even bring Kike home from 3d base. They've gone 24 consecutive innings without scoring a single freaking run because they literally can't hit. So how about getting off Cora's back?
  8. Maxbialystock
    Pretty dumb. Renfroe badly malpositioned. But, more than that, a total failure by Cora, pitching coach, and Vazquez to give a hot bat his due. All Taylor needed to do was throw one of one more low and away sliders for ball four.
  9. Maxbialystock
    He and Ottavino (of all people) have given up no runs in the postseason. That said, Cora has also not used either one for more than an inning.
  10. Maxbialystock
    Great job by Taylor and Devers!!
  11. Maxbialystock
    He's pretty awful all right. And stupid. He's also the only reason why the Sox still have a chance to win this game.
  12. Maxbialystock
    Hope you're right. Sox lineup is set for next year with him available--and hopefully Schwarber.
  13. Maxbialystock
    Yeah. I meant Plawecki and identified him on an earlier post. Tonight he did need a little help from the pitching coach, who had to go out and tell him and Eovaldi to fall out of love with Eovaldi's fastball. Fastballs got those two hits, and non-fastballs got the three K's. Non-fastballs also made Arroyo and Renfroe look very foolish.
  14. Maxbialystock
    Those were two very ignominious at bats by Arroyo and Renfroe.
  15. Maxbialystock
    Agree. They don't need to do that for Arroyo, JDM, or Schwarber, however.
  16. Maxbialystock
    What an idiot Cora is. He left Eovaldi in the stupid game. Then he even gave the Astros a free pass to load the bases.
  17. Maxbialystock
    Vazquez is the one calling the pitches. Funny thing about Ted's stupid saying. When he is on the mound, Sale does everything he can not to think. He is totally focused on executing his pitches and leaves the thinking, the selection of pitches, to the catcher. That's called "dumb like a fox."
  18. Maxbialystock
    Well, maybe not Astros pitchers. If they are, the Sox lineup is barely plant life.
  19. Maxbialystock
    Both hits off Eovaldi's high velocity fastball. His has alway been hittable. And apparently Garcia's, which is slower, is unhittable.
  20. Maxbialystock
    22 consecutive innings while scoring one stinking run.
  21. Maxbialystock
    Well, it's pretty obvious you only have to follow the well-known book on JDM to get him out. That was pathetic.
  22. Maxbialystock
    Well said, sir.
  23. Maxbialystock
    Perfect pitch to JDM--breaking ball down, missed by a foot.
  24. Maxbialystock
    I say again, the Sox have now gone 21 consecutive innings while scoring exactly 1 run. Not all of that is great Astros pitching. There is some choking going on.
  25. Maxbialystock
    30 pitches in 3 innings, 77% strikes.
