  1. Not if they watch the video of Schwarber in this series.
  2. The fault, dear Brutus, is not with the ump, but with our team, who are underlings.
  3. If you are watching on TV, you will notice that Verdugo's strike zone--the top line--is at his belt or a tad below it.
  4. Devers gets a walk! Devers gets a walk!! The Giants win the pennant!! The Giants win the pennant!!
  5. Meh. I'd take Schwarber over JDM, but the problem for Bloom is that he has to keep JDM.
  6. This is a game thread. We all know Schwarber has been a big boost to the lineup, but in this series, not just this game, he has hurt his team. You ain't great if you ain't great, and today Schwarber is far from great.
  7. Correction. He also uses that slider to get a wild pitch.
  8. How in the wide, wide world of sports did Ottavino get to be a closer? He has one pitch, a fastball, plus a cutter he throws when he wants a wild pitch.
  9. 3d time through the order is dicey for any Sox pitcher although Pivetta was sabotaged by Kike and then Schwarber.
  10. Chicago getting a lot of mileage out of one single.
  11. Probably. Whoops, there goes another rubber tree plant, by which I mean Schwarber's 3d K of the day and 6th K of the series. He is also hitless in the series.
  12. Great throw, but Iglesias makes it if he actually slides to the base instead to the left of the bag.
  13. Would be nice if Pivetta could go 7, but we all remember that he had a no-hitter going when Cora pulled him with 6 2/3 innings gone.
  14. Nice play by Iggy. Bogey also makes that play.
  15. First solid hit by Boston. Shaw's the man. One has to wonder, why not Schwarber or Devers? And not just today.
  16. Verdugo K's on a cutter right down the middle. The problem, folks, is not the home plate umpire. It's that pesky Chicago starter. Illinoisredsox, please note.
  17. Sox still headed for another 15 K's today, and this time they ain't getting any hits or good contact (except for that deep liner by Dalbec). This is a pitcher's duel, and I'm very impressed with Pivetta and his catcher.
  18. Pivetta is getting decent calls. Plus he has been extremely effective and efficient so far. Lynn is no doubt getting more calls, but he is also pitching well. More than that, it is obvious the Sox lineup is helpless against him. Schwarber looks like a rookie who shouldn't have been called up. Devers the same. And both have the advantage of going lefty vs. righty.
  19. Good for gameday. Heck, good for roboumps. What I'm holding out for is the ultimate--robo players. Seriously, I'm tired of all the errors, lousy defense, etc. Plus robo-players won't ask for the big salaries.
  20. Tough call against Raffie, but also deserved. No way, no how was he going to get a hit. He was up there with one thing on his mind--besides that big wad of tobacco in his month--get a free pass.
  21. That Pivetta knuckle curve is the best one I've seen this year by a Sox pitcher.
  22. Too true. Pivetta is having one of his good games, which are not frequent. Could Plawecki be one of the reasons?
