    I don't remember 2011 so clearly, but can't believe it was as bad as what we are seeing now.
  2. Maxbialystock
    7 runs by the Jays with nary a visit to the mound. Plus let's not forget that Vazquez was calling for those pitches which were being hit all over the place. Gotta think this is about it for the Sox. Only two things they don't do well: hit and pitch.
  3. Maxbialystock
    And of course pitching around Verdugo to get to JDM (with the bases loaded, yet!!!) pays off.
  4. Maxbialystock
    Pitching cautiously to Verdugo knowing that the patsy, JDM, is coming to bat. The ultimate insult for $20M/year hitter.
  5. Maxbialystock
    We can all be thankful Vazquez did not try to go to 3b on that single.
  6. Maxbialystock
    Manoah has the Sox hitters mesmerized and I'm not at all sure it's because he is so great.
  7. Maxbialystock
    I can't remember seeing Renfroe look this awful against one pitcher.
  8. Maxbialystock
    That fastball up in the zone and slightly over it is working for Eovaldi.
  9. Maxbialystock
    That sac fly barely got out of the infield, and Verdugo should have been out by a mile. So sad that Bogie's wrist is really, really, really weak. I mean really weak.
  10. Maxbialystock
    I am pretty sure the soft fly ball you keep mentioning was in fact a line drive.
  11. Maxbialystock
    Horrible at bat, but JDM, looking like a rookie, manages to ground out, but also to move the runner to 3b.
  12. Maxbialystock
    Eovaldi has good stuff, even the fastball when thrown judiciously, but he does not have good command.
  13. Maxbialystock
    Renfroe gets a medium fastball in the heart, the absolute center of the zone, and swings and misses.
  14. Maxbialystock
    Matter of fact, so do I--my wife's coffee.
  15. Maxbialystock
    OK to throw that cutter, but not over the absolute dead center of the strike zone.
  16. Maxbialystock
    Eovaldi is definitely mixing his pitches, right from the get go.
  17. Maxbialystock
    Wake up and smell the coffee. Duran is on the COVID roster. Two hard hit balls by Hernandez and Verdugo--one caught and one a clean single--followed by an absolutely spineless GIDP by JDM.
  18. Maxbialystock
    No way Eovaldi doesn't bounce back from last time. Hernandez CF Verdugo LF JDM DH Bogaerts SS Devers 3B Renfroe RF M.Gonzelez 2B Vazquez C Cordero 1B

    Interesting turn on Part III of a Realistic View. I'm not sure it's push the panic button, but it sure as shooting ain't hope for the best. The rotation not only stinks, but seems to be infecting the whole team. Dumping Richards and Perez is extreme, but might help. On the other hand, Pivetta and ERod have also stunk it up now and then. Even Eovaldi. At this point it is likely that stopping the doctoring of the baseball has affected the Sox rotation more than most other teams.
  20. Maxbialystock
    I don't recall many potshots at Duran in the game threads that blamed the entire game on him. If he screwed up--like a K with men on base or whatever--he got zinged just like any other player. His OPS is .568 and his WAR is -.3. Are we supposed to be cheering for him whatever he does?
  21. Maxbialystock
    Last night the WEEI guys were saying that poor starting pitching does have an effect on the lineup. They are guessing, of course, but it sure seems as though there is some kernel of truth in the idea.
  22. Maxbialystock
    Heart was a regular on this team for big chunks of this season and might return with Sale.
  23. Maxbialystock
    Where did the Sox get this guy from? He throws 90% fastballs and is getting pounded. Robles, a name to remember. Kind of makes Perez look OK. This game truly is over.
  24. Maxbialystock
    Looks that way to me as well. Kike, Raffie, and JDM all faced Skubal for the 3d time, and couldn't get a hit among them. Kike did move Marwin from 1st to 2d. Maybe the hit song of the musical Damn Yankees is, "You Gotta Have Heart." The only Sox player in today's game with any heart, so far, was Valdez.
  25. Maxbialystock
    Tigers have made some good plays in the field. The Sox, except for Valdez, have not. Especially egregious was Verdugo's lazy played that let a runner go from 1st to 3d on a clean single straight to Verdugo in LF. Valdez is also pitching with a lot of heart, which seems to be lacking in his teammates.
