  1. Davis looks like a dipstick, but I love the 2 outs.
  2. One heckuva game. Romo struggling to get the final out vs. the Yankees after a 2 run dinger by Judge. He got it. If the Sox win, they are 2 back of the Yankees. The Orioles have already sent an emissary to the Rays dugout to discuss the terms of surrender.
  3. Verdugo looked stupid, but those were tough pitches.
  4. Stupid, stupid pitch on an 0-2 count. Devers nails it, but for just a single. What's that line, shave and a haircut, two bits? I think I'll send a quarter to Cleveland's catcher.
  5. 2 long outs ain't helping, but at least no GIDP's.
  6. Excellent at bat for JDM, tough break on that liner.
  7. Never a doubt. When you need that final out, call on Sawamura! He'll not only get you that out, he'll make it exciting.
  8. OK. Maybe the blame rests entirely with Sawamura. Thanks to that out, he's got a chance to get out of this mess.
  9. Stunning. He finally throws a strike and gets an easy out.
  10. Some of what we just saw--the sheer stupidity of it --rubs off on Cora.
  11. Amazing how powerful the bunt can be and/or how imbecilic Sawamura and his catcher can be. Just the hint of wanting to bunt gives the batter a free pass to 1b. So guess what happens now? Another bunt, you think?
  12. I love this game. Eovaldi was gutsy. We got 2 off of Quantrill, who has been fantastic this month with an ERA of 1.45.
  13. Tough 7th, but I liked that Duran hit the first pitch and drove it--just not far enough. That's why Arauz needed to do, but he already did it last night. No twosies, thank you.
  14. You betcha. Sox players have in the past been fined for practicing their bunting.
  15. This is disgusting. These announcers are actively impugning the integrity of, quite frankly, my absolute favorites in the game of baseball--robo umps. And I know why they are--the umpires union made them an offer they can't refuse. Either you go after those roboumps or you are going to swim with the fishes.
  16. Oh, stop it. I'm being a pissant. You, on the other hand, reminded me day game after a night game, which is a big deal. So you are probably right about Plawecki not being ready to catch a whole game.
  17. They absolutely did. Great game.
  18. Clearly, smearly. You are looking at a superimposed rectangle that nobody else, certainly no one of the field of play, can see. Plus making that rectangle is tricky because it depends on exactly what part of the hitters torso--which can be affected by the hitters stance--defines the top and bottom of the zone. Then there's the question of what part of the ball's trajectory counts as hitting or missing that rectangle. For all we know the hitters don't actually know where the top and bottom of the strike zone are.
  19. Nonsense. This month right here, August, is the only month worth discussing. Vazquez caught Eovaldi vs. the Jays on 6 August when he gave up 7 runs. Plawecki caught Eovaldi August 11, 17, and 23 when Eovaldi pitched a total of 19 innings while giving up 4 runs. Cora should have started Plawecki today. Next time I hope he does check with me.
  20. Eovaldi pitching the 6th!!!! Bravo!!! Two straight games when our starters show heart as well as skill. Too bad. He left that slider up and in the middle. Looks like Taylor to keep Reyes from scoring.
  21. That 93 mph sinker is vicious because he also throws a 4 seamer that doesn't break down. Quantrill gets another call because he is so close on almost all his pitches.
  22. There are zero Sox pitchers who can hit the lower left corner followed by hitting the upper right corner--but Quantrill just did it. Bogey swung at both pitches.
  23. After Gimenez comes the top of Cleveland's order--for the 3d time. Great inning, Eovaldi!! Skill and heart.
