    Houck was fine. Yes, he threw a lot of pitches, but 3.2 innings are about right for a 7 inning game. Plus Taylor gave up the single that brought that 1 run home. Houck usually throws a lot of pitches. He has good stuff, but not very good command.
  2. Maxbialystock
    Could be the ball game because I think the Sox have no intention of scoring any runs tonight--or today for that matter. A thoroughly demoralized team.
  3. Maxbialystock
    Well done, Arauz. No error on that play.
  4. Maxbialystock
    Cordero will likely celebrate getting that one out of the infield.
  5. Maxbialystock
    That said, however, I'm not sure it would make much difference if Houck could go 6 innings--even if they were 6 shutout innings.
  6. Maxbialystock
    Tonight we are again seeing why Houck normally can't go more than 4 innings. 2 innings, 47 pitches.
  7. Maxbialystock
    Houck gets a big break on that fat, fat fast ball in the geometric center of the strike zone.
  8. Maxbialystock
    Looks like we might see the bullpen a little early tonight.
  9. Maxbialystock
    FWIW, Dalbec is an infielder and is worse at 1b than Cordero.
  10. Maxbialystock
    I do think anyone can play 1b, but completely agree just anyone can't make that play or the one Guerrero made last night.
  11. Maxbialystock
    The Sox show every sign of being a team that expects to lose. It won't be easy, I but I think they can basically be out of contention by the time Sale can pitch and Schwarber can hit.
  12. Maxbialystock
    Cordero does not make that play--the one Guerrero made.
  13. Maxbialystock
    Of the four categories, rotation, defense, hitting, and bullpen, I agree the bullpen has been the most reliable. So, when I say the bullpen blew game 1 today, I'm saying the last barrier between the Sox and total mediocrity is showing some cracks.
  14. Maxbialystock
    It matters both for the extra pitches and for the demonstration of incompetence. Or, if not incompetence, then maybe just not giving a darn.
  15. Maxbialystock
    Given that Barnes blew game 1 today, maybe it is fair to say the Sox have a weak rotation, weak defense, weak lineup, and even a weak bullpen.
  16. Maxbialystock
    Vazquez and Cordero do their clown act on an easy pop out, which lands untouched.
  17. Maxbialystock
    Yes, they did piss it away, which I mentioned at the time. The fact remains that Pivetta was going great guns, and I personally wanted him on the mound in the 7th. And, yes, I do know that Cora know ten times as much as I do. I'm just mad because this game was in fact winnable.
  18. Maxbialystock
    True. But I just don't like Vazquez.
  19. Maxbialystock
    Great call Cora, you dickhead. Pivetta has only thrown 76 pitches and got Guererro out 3 times. This was a game that could be won.
  20. Maxbialystock
    So another theory. This one is really simple. Vazquez is overrated as a catcher, and Plawecki knows what he is doing behind the plate.
  21. Maxbialystock
    You have to be blind not to see on the replay that the Jays firstbaseman was blocking the bag with his foot/shin.
  22. Maxbialystock
    Meh. It's the right call but an unusual one. Plus he didn't go ape.
  23. Maxbialystock
    Heart of the order are doing what they do best--making outs when guys are on base and in scoring position.
  24. Maxbialystock
    He couldn't touch the base because the first baseman had his foot blocking it.
  25. Maxbialystock
    He didn't touch the base because the firstbaseman's foot was all over the bag. Safe is the right call.
