    When the Sox went up 1 in the top of the 9th, they showed Ottavino warming up, and I was happy because Whitlock gave up a double in the 7th and again in the 8th. It took good defensive plays to prevent the Rays from scoring.
  2. Maxbialystock
    Fastball right down the middle for strike 3 on Lopez, who also has an error.
  3. Maxbialystock
    There you have it. Vazquez was out at home because he's actually as slow as a catcher (and doesn't know it). Devers had exactly the same play and scored standing up.
  4. Maxbialystock
    Vazquez was entitled to that K and he was right to recognize the 3d strike was just a very good slider at the top of the zone.
  5. Maxbialystock
    I'd like to give a big shout out to JDM for no GIDP. He is a team player all the way.
  6. Maxbialystock
    Nope. It was a good pitch. JDM was doomed anyway.
  7. Maxbialystock
    That right there is way I think it is foolish to say hitters can tell balls from strikes on pitches close to the margins of the strike zone. That was a strike, and JDM whined.
  8. Maxbialystock
    I agree the Rays got more calls and that Sale got screwed a couple of times. But I think the defense was the bigger problem.
  9. Maxbialystock
    Really dumb. Devers hit right into that shift.
  10. Maxbialystock
    Yes, but sometimes the odds can be, well, odd.
  11. Maxbialystock
    It sure looks as though that balk was because Whitlock keep shaking off Vazquez's signals. All's well that ends well. Except ain't nothin ended yet. Whitlock has 2 scoreless innings, but the Rays have a bottomless well of good relievers.
  12. Maxbialystock
    Cash needs to check his computer program that says you will always score from 3b with 1 or no outs.
  13. Maxbialystock
    That's the 2d double off Whitlock plus no K's. But thank goodness he is rested. I mean, that's the real goal, isn't it? Rested pitchers. Barnes really needed a rest and now should get 2 full weeks. Good system.
  14. Maxbialystock
    That call against Renfroe was close enough. Plus tonight ain't his night.
  15. Maxbialystock
    Far from beautiful because he didn't have his best stuff. But he sure was gritty and definitely did not let the weak defense get him down.
  16. Maxbialystock
    He is that.
  17. Maxbialystock
    Cora needs to protest. Robertson actually threw strikes to Arauz, which is just not fair. And yes, I do remember the grand slam when all the Sox needed was a sac fly or a single.
  18. Maxbialystock
    Agree. Rough first 2 batters, but then he was fine, and he is easily the Sox best reliever. No one else is close. He also does windows (2, even 3 innings).
  19. Maxbialystock
    Rays 9th bat hits a perfect sac fly to deep CF to move runner to 3b. And Vazquez makes the Sox defensive play of the game by catching a short hop throw by Devers and tagging the runner from 3b out. Despite the double and the sac fly, a scoreless inning for Whitlock. So, good on him. Plus no Barnes.
  20. Maxbialystock
    Sure glad Cora took Sale out. Whitlock looks great out there if you ignore a double off his first pitch.
  21. Maxbialystock
    You need to check your facts. Richards and Perez are in the bullpen. Pivetta is inconsistent, but has also pitched well in some game and might be fixable. Four of ERod's 5 most recent starts have been good.
  22. Maxbialystock
    Vazquez's self-redemption!!!! Ain't no substitute for a dinger and very possibly a return to form.
  23. Maxbialystock
    JDM, the old reliable. When a GIDP is there to be made, he is the man to make it. He hit that ground off a ball up in the strike zone, which is why we call him Old Reliable. Sale is pitching his heart out despite weak defense, a hostile ump, and hitters who aren't, well, hitting. That he is behind 2-1 was completely predictable. Rays pitching and defense are vastly better than the Sox, and hitting is incidental.
  24. Maxbialystock
    The Sox have not made one single good play on defense, but have made several weak plays that were not scored as errors.
  25. Maxbialystock
    Yep, and long overdue.
