    The Sox actually have made more than 4 errors.
  2. Maxbialystock
    Shaw has demonstrated he doesn't have much of a glove either.
  3. Maxbialystock
    Whitlock gave up 3 earned runs--so far--and Ottavino gave up 1. So even the healthy relievers stink right now.
  4. Maxbialystock
    Whitlock needs to go with two good pitches--a fastball and a changeup or slider or splitter--from the get go. And it goes without saying that Vazquez called a crappy game.
  5. Maxbialystock
    Renfroe is one dumb outfielder.
  6. Maxbialystock
    Vazquez and Whitlock seem to love those fastballs almost as much as the Rays do. Meadow's inside the parker dinger was off his 8th straight fastball.
  7. Maxbialystock
    Vazquez is such a loser.
  8. Maxbialystock
    Mama said there'd be days like this, and in this case it's Verdugo's mama.
  9. Maxbialystock
    Whitlock should be able to get this save.
  10. Maxbialystock
    Schwarber, JDM, and Devers all strike out.
  11. Maxbialystock
    Rays pitchers do like the lower part of the zone--even when the first pitch is a ball and below the zone.
  12. Maxbialystock
    I'm beginning to think Ottavino is telegraphing his pitches.
  13. Maxbialystock
    Well, if Davis is the guy coming in, I understand why Ottavino had to prove he didn't have it before being pulled.
  14. Maxbialystock
    Cora never listens to me and apparently doesn't watch the game either. 3 Rays batters, now 3 hard hit balls.
  15. Maxbialystock
    Good grief. Who was that masked man jerking out still another home run?
  16. Maxbialystock
    I think Whitlock starts the 8th.
  17. Maxbialystock
    Yep. Ottavino stinks, but at least he got lucky.
  18. Maxbialystock
    On the other hand, Ottavino is starting to remind me of Barnes.
  19. Maxbialystock
    Richards + Taylor + Ottavino seems to say Whitlock for the 8th and 9th inning. Also, Cora is betting his bullpen on winning this game.
  20. Maxbialystock
    That's 2 errors on the long haired hippie at 2b
  21. Maxbialystock
    Box score says 1 earned run, 4 unearned runs for Sale.
  22. Maxbialystock
    Two very different sports. Baseball has an elaborate apprenticeship system which basketball doesn't have or, for that matter, need. The very best basketballers are ready for the NBA after high school, and the only reason why the NBA doesn't draft high school seniors is that in the past now and then they drafted--even as high as the #1 selection--lemons. Thus, these days it's rare when the NBA drafts anyone over age 22, whereas MLB would label a 22 year old on a MLB team (and not just in September) as a phenom. Because MLB no longer wants to underwrite minor league teams to the degree they have in the past, AA and AAA players these days apparently aren't as ready for MLB as they were 5 years ago. Nevertheless, there is absolutely no substitute for a pitcher or a hitter to hone his skills adequately by simply practicin' and practicin'. You gotta play in the real games against good pitchers who want to get you out or good hitters who want to knock you out. Right now Dalbec is getting into games, which will definitely help him, and Duran is not, which is bad for him.
  23. Maxbialystock
    You have tinnitus because I've heard no such thing. Even assuming Kike, when he returns, goes to 2b instead of CF, Cora will continue to use JDM/Schwarber in LF and DH and Dalbec at 1b.
  24. Maxbialystock
    Absolutely nothing. Anyone who would not start Sale when the postseason is at stake is ignorant. The bigger issue right now, Labor Day, is fielding a competitive team. With Pivetta covid'd, the rotation is now 4, which could be worse since Pivetta was the worst of the 5. Nevertheless, one can make a good argument that yesterday's game was winnable with Pivetta starting because Crawford gave up 5 runs in the first 2 innings. The bullpen and the lineup are similarly afflicted, and the Rays are coming to town for 3 big ones. Where is Thomas Paine when we need him?
  25. Maxbialystock
    Finally a game summary I can agree with. Sox were 3 for 18 with RISP and Cleveland was 7 for 18. But it was astounding the Sox came back, that the bullpen went 6 innings giving up the 1 run, etc.
