    Disagree. Leave him where he is so he keeps hitting. Plus his chances of being brought home are better when he is followed by Vazquez and Iglesias. Great baserunning by Vazquez. Very opportunistic because the Mets didn't have anyone covering 3b. Oops. I guess they did. And Vazquez remains one of the most clueless baserunners in Sox history.

    Dalbec, righty vs. righty gets his second hit, a long, long double to CF. One has to wonder what is the problem with Schwarber, Devers, and Verdugo.
  3. Maxbialystock
    Sox two hits by Dalbec and Iglesias. No hits by the top six in the Sox order after two at bats for each of them. But Schwarber and Bogey both got walks.
  4. Maxbialystock
    Stroman getting those calls because he is consistently around and in the strike zone.
  5. Maxbialystock
    Stroman is not throwing lots of strikes and his 2 BB's to ERod's 3. But what he is good at is keeping the ball low--thus the ground outs. My gosh! JDM swings and misses at a sinker right down the middle. Stroman's 2d K in the game.
  6. Maxbialystock
    ERod lucky. That superb play by Renfroe got an out plus some slack for ERod with just men on 1st and 2d instead bases full. Sox are better hitters than the Mets. but Stroman is keeping the ball low and his stuff has a sharper break.
  7. Maxbialystock
    ERod needs his good changeup to be effective. Tonight he can't command it, so he is over-relying on fastballs and cutters.
  8. Maxbialystock
    Big play by Kike!!!!
  9. Maxbialystock
    ERod 3 walks and a hard hit single on a 3-2 fat fastball so far in the 4th. Funny thing is, the Mets by and large are happy to swing at his strikes.
  10. Maxbialystock
    Five straight fastballs to Davis because he can't trust his changeup or slider.
  11. Maxbialystock
    He can sort of hit the corners with his cut fastballs, but not with his slider or changeup. And by now the Mets hitters have him figured out.
  12. Maxbialystock
    Bogey hit the ball hard, which is why they could go 3b to home to 1b. Meanwhile, ERod is having command issues.
  13. Maxbialystock
    Stoman gets Vazquez on, guess what, a slider low and away.
  14. Maxbialystock
    Great at bat by Dalbec. Unlike JDM, he was ready for that fastball and nailed it. After four straight sliders.
  15. Maxbialystock
    When Sox pitchers go low in the zone or just below it, it's experimental and never, ever a steady diet.
  16. Maxbialystock
    Stroman is making a living off those pitches low in the zone. First time through the order, the Sox hitters are helpless.
  17. Maxbialystock
    JDM set up beautifully for that 3d swinging strike on a fastball down the middle. Having seen sliders and splitter low and away, the fastball completely fooled him.
  18. Maxbialystock
    ERod does not yet have good command of his changeup and slider--tonight. Still, good results.
  19. Maxbialystock
    Stroman good at keeping his pitches low. He throws a lot of cut fastballs of various kinds.
  20. Maxbialystock
    Bogey gets the call on ball four. Maybe because Stroman showed up the ump on ball three, which was outside.
  21. Maxbialystock
    Renfroe is out, Verdugo is in RF, and JDM is in LF with Schwarber at DH.
  22. Maxbialystock
    The return of Thunder! Agree with moonslav that the two starters are about evenly matched. Also agree with Cora starting lefty DH Schwarber over righty DH JDM--while also keeping better defensive firstbaseman Dalbec in the lineup. Clearly Cora wants to keep up the good defense without sacrificing much offense.
  23. Maxbialystock
    Yes. He is day to day.
  24. Maxbialystock
    Interesting. Looks to me--as an ignorant fan--as though the Astros saw a flaw in Marwin's swing, signed him, and fixed it.
  25. Maxbialystock
    Trading Dalbec, who now looks pretty competent at 1b and is hitting well, makes no sense, especially given his age/retainability. The infield of Devers, Bogaerts, Iglesias/Arroyo, and Dalbec looks pretty solid to me--decent fielding, good hitting. I just think Shwarber is a better bat than Verdugo and don't mind giving up some defense in LF. That said, Verdugo has been handy as the backup centerfielder and is younger and a lot less expensive than Schwarber. Yet again, Schwarber is 5 years younger than JDM and a good choice to take over at DH.
