    Once again, I have to say you can't possibly be watching this game.
  2. Maxbialystock
    Meh. He simply stopped throwing fastballs and switched to nothing but sliders--after the pitching coach went out and told Plawecki and Houck to get their heads out of their arses.
  3. Maxbialystock
    Houck has been better in relief than starting. He doesn't have a big repertoire, but he can throw hard and he has a nice slider.
  4. Maxbialystock
    Hmmmm. I've given Plawecki a lot of credit, but with Houck it's pretty obvious the Sox pitching coach had to intervene before Houck walked the entire Yankees team throwing nothing but fastballs--all of which, it's quite obvious, Plawecki called for. So five quick sliders, a GIDP and a K, and Houck is out of the inning.
  5. Maxbialystock
    Stunning. 8 straight balls and 2 walks by Houck to start off the 7th inning.
  6. Maxbialystock
    I kind of thought the Yankee pitching was pretty good, plus the Sox hit several hard ones that were caught. Or haven't you been watching the game?
  7. Maxbialystock
    A couple of hard hit balls caught by the Yankees.
  8. Maxbialystock
    I think Plawecki called for the wrong pitch. Better another fastball or curve, which nobody has hit well even though Pivetta threw lots of knuckle curves and fastballs. Instead he threw a slider right down the middle.
  9. Maxbialystock
    Right now watching Pivetta's a little like watching Barnes when he was good. Fastball, knuckle curve, knuckle curve, knuckle curve, fastball.
  10. Maxbialystock
    Pivetta didn't want quick, so Odor helped him.
  11. Maxbialystock
    I'm sure you're right, but, if Cortes had gotten thru the 5th safely, I would have sent him back out for the 6th.
  12. Maxbialystock
    Why oh why do Sox players never ever let the ball hit them?
  13. Maxbialystock
    Blind stupid luck, which I will take over a hard hit out and day of the week. Tough luck for Cortes.

    Yes he is, and yes he does. I guy that tall has no business being as good as he is. I've seen him sprint toward the right field wall to get a ball, and slide at exactly the right moment.
  16. Maxbialystock
    I'm no Boone fan, but I think he definitely made the right call there--even though Cortes had been going great guns. .
  17. Maxbialystock
    Pivetta has nothing to do with it. This is all Plawecki today. Pivetta's just along for the ride.
  18. Maxbialystock
    That just torques me. Judge is actually very agile out there, and it's just not fair he's glove can reach up to 9'.
  19. Maxbialystock
    Whoa! I think I can now get off my hobby horse. If Sanchez is dumb, that makes Cortes one really great pitcher. I just wish ERod could work the corners, especially the bottom of the zone, the way Cortes does.
  20. Maxbialystock
    I've been impressed with Cortes, especially his command.
  21. Maxbialystock
    No question Eovaldi threw the ball and Vazquez only caught it (when he wasn't letting it get by him). Nevertheless, when a pitcher is having a great month--4 starts--and suddenly goes sour with a new catcher, one has to wonder if the catcher wasn't/isn't part of the problem.
  22. Maxbialystock
    Actually, I think this is bigger than me being argumentative, redundant, whatever. It's late in the season, the Sox are in it, and every game is a big deal. Cora has been terrific this year, but I completely disagree with not having Plawecki catch Eovaldi last night. I think Vazquez is OK with Sale because he's so professional and basically only throws three pitches. If I were king, I would not let Vazquez catch Eovaldi or Pivetta for the rest of the season.
  23. Maxbialystock
    I'm looking for someone to rebut, without which I will assume I'm right. I'm quite aware my statistical sample is miniscule, but I was certain Plawecki was going to catch Eovaldi again last night and am bitter that he didn't and that Eovaldi did so poorly. Plus I think Vazquez is stupid on the basepaths.
  24. Maxbialystock
    Cortes has good stuff, but he has really good command.
  25. Maxbialystock
    Could there be a bigger difference then Eovaldi--our best starter--and Vazquez last night and Pivetta--our 3d or 4th best starter--and Plawecki today? Pivetta, with Plawecki calling the shots, looks like Eovaldi at his best. And last night Eovaldi looked like Pivetta at his worst. The only thing Vazquez does better than Plawecki is throw guys out stealing, but this year he's almost as bad as Plawecki (who is definitely bad).
