    I respectfully disagree. For big chunks of this season, granted, Dalbec has looked awful at 1b. However, he has been a third baseman and should have been able to pick up this new position. I think that has finally happened and that he is better defensively than other options like Schwarber, Arroyo, etc. Meanwhile, including this game, Schwarber is 0 for his last 16 at bats with 9 K's. His September OPS (for 12 games) is .606.
  2. Maxbialystock
    Cora erred in starting schwarber, who was in a slump before tonight and Dalbec has the hotter bat and has played well at 1b recently.
  3. Maxbialystock
    Schwarber has become an unmitigated liability. He can’t field and he has stopped hitting.
  4. Maxbialystock
    Well, I guess that's progress. On his third at bat vs Gilbert, Schwarber did not K. Instead, a lazy pop to left field.
  5. Maxbialystock
    A lucky single, and I'm still going ape. Iggy ties it with persistance!!!!! Time for the top of the Sox order to do something besides punt.
  6. Maxbialystock
    FWIW, that 3d strike against Renfroe was on hanging slider that he should have killed.
  7. Maxbialystock
    I remain astounded at how rotten Schwarber, Bogey, and Devers looks against Gilbert vs. Iglesias, Verdugo, and now Vazquez.
  8. Maxbialystock
    I do not. If, however, he hits a double and brings Verdugo home, I will go ape.
  9. Maxbialystock
    How can Verdugo hit easily what Devers and Schwarber simply cannot hit? Leadoff man on!!!
  10. Maxbialystock
    Two excellent innings by ERod and, honestly, a pretty fair 4 innings with a real shot at 5. He is still throwing mostly hard stuff--4 seamer, cutter, etc--but is spotting them better.
  11. Maxbialystock
    Wow. ERod getting the calls, but is also close to those corners on almost every pitch.
  12. Maxbialystock
    ERod finally getting a call or two.
  13. Maxbialystock
    Sox hitters can't seem to catch up to that fastball Gilbert is throwing (a lot). Schwarber, Bogey, and Devers--batting 2d, 3d, and 4th--have 5 K's in 6 at bats so far. Iglesias dingers was off a slider well up and in the dead center of the strike zone.
  14. Maxbialystock
    Gilbert is getting more calls than ERod. That said, it makes no difference to Devers, who can't hit anyway.
  15. Maxbialystock
    That was an unbelievably cool K by ERod (and Vazquez who called for it)--a low changeup breaking in on a lefty batter and well below the strike zone for a swing and a miss. Here's hoping ERod can keep this up for 5 innings.
  16. Maxbialystock
    Great K by ERod!!! His 4th straight out, 3 by K's. Outfield so far looks awful. Since when does a professional ballplayer at the highest level blow bubbles with bubblegum while he is making a play on the ball?
  17. Maxbialystock
    Schwarber is in a slump, pure and simple. Meanwhile, Iglesias gets the dinger to make it 2-1, which is an amazingly close score given how much better Gilbert looks than ERod.
  18. Maxbialystock
    Finally, finally on the 11 pitch a slider for a called strike. 46 pitches to get 5 outs, so this looks like another 3 or 4 inning game for ERod.
  19. Maxbialystock
    He's throwing nothing but 92 mph fastballs to a .166 hitter, who has fouled off every strike--6 so far.
  20. Maxbialystock
    Always possible.
  21. Maxbialystock
    If anyone in the Seattle lineup swings and misses an ERod pitch tonight, he's going to get fined.
  22. Maxbialystock
    Error by Renfroe dismaying, but even more dismaying is that ERod threw a perfect changeup on the low outside corner, which Torrens easily lined to RF for a single.
  23. Maxbialystock
    No question that ERod is also feeling the pressure, especially after his last start.
  24. Maxbialystock
    If he's not dumb, and I sure don't think he is, he knows he is the team mvp and is therefore feeling a lot pressure to deliver. I think the tobacco is intended to calm those inner demons, and my impression is that the tobacco, which he chews voraciously, fuels his disquiet.
  25. Maxbialystock
    Ouch. True, however.
