    Not a bad idea, but that's not the way the overwhelming majority of MLB hitters think.

    I did plenty of griping about the pitches Vazquez called last night, but tonight I have to say he has called an excellent game. Astros one run is off a slider well outside of the zone. In the 4th, Sale struck out Correa and Tucker with men on 1st and 2d. Great pitching and great pitch-calling.
  3. Maxbialystock
    Nice changeup by Sale, great play and throw by Devers, and nice grab by Schwarber.
  4. Maxbialystock
    Yep. But that's what Valdez is throwing, stuff that breaks down and induces grounders.
  5. Maxbialystock
    Two sinkers down the middle, and Bogey takes one and barely fouls the other off. And grounds out on the third. No wonder Valdez is unhittable. 12 consecutive scoreless innings by the Sox.
  6. Maxbialystock
    That was a pitcher's pitch. Why did Kike have to swing at it with 2 balls already?
  7. Maxbialystock
    You're right, but I'm still going to blame the lineup. They stunk last night too.
  8. Maxbialystock
    Sure looks like it. He's a pro and he has a ton of guts.
  9. Maxbialystock
    You must mean me calling Alvarez Maldonado. Sorry about that. Sale is great against the other guys.
  10. Maxbialystock
    Meh. You could be right, but my point is that this game, just like last night's game, is on the lineup. Or you can give credit to the Astros pitching.
  11. Maxbialystock
    Maldonado a tough out. Correa coming up with runners on 1st and 3d and one out.
  12. Maxbialystock
    That freaking sinker at 89 mph ain't half bad.
  13. Maxbialystock
    So far, and I am dead serious here, Sale is pitching better than any Sox pitcher last night.
  14. Maxbialystock
    Titus Andronicus.
  15. Maxbialystock
    All right!! Positive attitude!! Love it!!!
  16. Maxbialystock
    Valdez is throwing good stuff, just like the Astros bullpen did last night.
  17. Maxbialystock
    11 consecutive scoreless innings by the Sox against Astros pitching. But of course the loss last night was because of the home plate umpire.
  18. Maxbialystock
    Valdez is having great success with that 95 mph sinker and 79 mph curve.
  19. Maxbialystock
    Sale is pitching and playing tough tonight. Too bad he's got a bunch of wimps backing him up. Actually, I think Valdez so far is pitching a heckuva game, just like the Astros bullpen did last night. Good pitching >>>> good hitting. And complaints about home plate umps is just whining.
  20. Maxbialystock
    10 straight scoreless innings by this Sox lineup, but of course that's entirely because of that home plate umpire. If we only had robo-umps, the Sox would have scored 10, 20 runs easy.
  21. Maxbialystock
    So far I think Sale has mixed locations and pitches and pretty much stayed away from the center of the strike zone. That dinger, as other have said, was away from a lefty hitter who was still able to get it over the green monster. I've griped plenty about Sale, including before this game, but I also think he is thoroughly professional in every aspect of his pitching. So far, I'm impressed with Sale tonight. The lineup, on the other hand, looks like last night's lineup--which in fact it is.
  22. Maxbialystock
    That could indeed prove to be the key to this ALCS. The Sox have demonstrated that can't win without good hitting--and scoring at least 6 runs.
  23. Maxbialystock
    If so, Cora should forfeit because everyone knows that the umps are the only factor in who wins a game. Certainly not the hitters, pitchers, fielders, baserunners, etc.
  24. Maxbialystock
    First pitch of the game--Altuve hit it to LF.
  25. Maxbialystock
    Sox have now gone 9 straight scoreless innings.
