  1. Perez stinks. Absolutely no excuse walking a lefty bat on 5 pitches. Fleming, meanwhile, has the Sox hitters tied up in knots.
  2. Someone has to take the losses, which actually occur 40% of the time. Starting this one is an act of courage for which TylerD is to be commended.
  3. Houck sent down because his next start is in Toronto, meanwhile, Cora needs that slot for Wong or whoever.
  4. Good news is that ERod was awful when Ryu was great. This game was not winnable.
  5. Perhaps. Right now it looks as though the rotation weakness is simply too big to fix. Pivetta, Perez, ERod, and Richards are all more than capable giving games away. That leaves Eovaldi, who is quite good, Houck, who lately can't quite get thru 5 innings, which places a big burden on the bullpen, and Sale, who we only hope is the Sale of 2018 which was a long time ago.
  6. 0-2 count, and ERod walks him with the bases loaded. Three straight walks.
  7. Bases loaded with Semien and his 24 dingers at the plate. Just outside the pesky pole!
  8. WEEI guys say that, if the A's decide to leave Oakland, they could end up in--wait for it--Montreal. Reportedly, the money and the land are in place.
  9. Terry Francona would have broken Lou Boudreau's record for most wins by a Cleveland manager. He still can, just not this year.
  10. I gotta admit I prefer the WEEI guys because they do talk about the game. The TV guys like to interview people, talk about their golf games, whatever. Francona, age 62, is on medical leave for the rest of this season.
  11. Perhaps. But he needs the rest and it would have been lefty vs. lefty against a guy who pitches smart and with command.
  12. No! My gosh! He could have gone for a trifecta!
  13. Gotta say that when Duran and Dalbec hit against the same lefty pitcher in the same game, Duran looks a whole lot more comfortable and hits the ball harder than Dalbec.
  14. WEEI guys say Santiago, the Mariners pitcher nailed for sticky stuff, was suspended for 10 days for that. Now he's getting 80 more days for testing positive for ped's. Guy must have loved his chemistry classes in H.S.
  15. Sure look like a long 9 innings ahead. Time flies only when you're having fun.
  16. WEEI guys say the Sox will likely face lefties in all 3 games at the Trop. I'm wrong about Ryu's fast ball. It's 92/93, which he used to strike Cordero out (of course).
  17. Cutter down the middle, swing and miss by Cordero.
  18. Sure glad Plawecki didn't start this game. Vazquez is looking so, so good. Obvious why ERod likes him behind the plate, and Vazquez's hitting is extra.
  19. What Ryu has is command. And that's what ERod struggles with, especially early in a game.
  20. WEEI guys are talking about how Cora was worried before this game against Ryu that his guys would swing at balls outside the zone. And such has been the case. He throws that 88/89 mph fastball and the Sox just cannot hit it. Lucky hit for Verdugo.
  21. ERod is maybe coming alive, but after giving up 4 runs on 6 hard hit balls in 2 innings. If memory serves, his first inning has been his weakest.
  22. Changeup right down the middle, but fouled off--lucky.
  23. Apparently the book for ERod on Guerrero is high and outside. Slider works like a charm.
