    I should think the answer to that is an emphatic 100%. However, Perez is paid $6M and Richards $8.5M (or is it $10M?) to be starters, so maybe Bloom will want to get Henry's money's worth out of them. In this latest bring-up, Houck has been dazzling good in 3 innings and then 4.2 innings--and given up 0 earned runs. He has a regular fastball and one that breaks down, and a very good slider and, occasionally (once last night?), a splitter. We saw last night he can even pitch in the freaking rain. Frankly, I don't like Richards or Perez, moonslav's skillful defense of them notwithstanding. But the real point is that Houck is a great addition to the pitching staff however he is used, and he has a manager who will use him wisely.

    Give it a shot by all means. I envy your access to replay

    That’s why iortiz is so great! Cora certainly never saw the value of sending Duran in to pinch hit and then to pinch run in the 7th. Genius—and never tried before.
  4. Maxbialystock
    Not Dalbec's mistake, but the third base coach's. And no way does Duran score from 2b on a grounder the SS caught.
  5. Maxbialystock
    Welcome to the club. Everyone--almost everyone--on talksox was ready to fire Cora before the Sox tied it in the 9th. And exactly where were you when Cora sent Andriese out to close in the 12th with a 2 run lead, which was not enough to prevent him from a blown save and a loss?
  6. Maxbialystock
    No, no, no. Duran does not score in 7th if he pinch runs for Dalbec. The Yankees SS caught the freaking grounder and would have thrown Duran--trying to score from 2b on a grounder--out with ease. Much better was what Cora did in the 7th--not sending Duran in--and in the 9th--sending Duran in to score the crucial tying run.

    And you absolutely were the only one who reminded us of all the other comebacks. Plus this is another game-winning thread started by you.

    Funny how we all love eating crow.

    Please note my 2d bullet after listing the opposing pitchers and their ERA's. That said, I did not at all expect both Montgomery and Houck to be so good. Neither gave up an earned run. Our good reliever Ottavino gave up 2, as did their good reliever Green. We still had Barnes for the 10th, and the Yankees had Kriske and his 4 wild pitches.

    Hey, where's the guy who said he wanted Duran to pinch run in the 7th inning when it would have done no good. Tonight he scored the tying run from 1b on a double off the green monster. On the topic of the one and only greatest Sox manager ever, I will continue to be incorrigible. Cora is right even when you or I or anyone thinks he is wrong.
  11. Maxbialystock
    JDM fails utterly. And Renfroe drives in the winning run on the 1st pitch, an expected fast ball!!!
  12. Maxbialystock
    Absolutely stunning rally in the bottom of the 9th. Verdugo, in a slump, gets his 3d single. Dalbec, the worst hitting first baseman in the history of baseball (not just MLB) gets his 2d single. And superstud Hernandez brings them home to tie the game. No one but no one on this thread had any faith this would happen. Except for one guy, moonslav, who is carrying this team and talksox.
  13. Maxbialystock
    Never. Even when I think he's wrong, he's right. Pinch-running for Dalbec was not called for, especially in view of what happened in the game. The big mistake was sending Ottavino out for the 8th--except that the 8th has been his inning all season long.
  14. Maxbialystock
    They certainly are not "mailing it in." However, it sure looks that way. Ottavino, especially, but also Vazquez and his passed ball, the top of the order, the bumble by Verdugo, the third base coach signaling Dalbec to try to score from 2b on a grounder fielded cleanly by the Yankees SS.
  15. Maxbialystock
    It means he doesn't like the Sox players in the game tonight.
  16. Maxbialystock
    I'm not Dalbec fan, but what you and others fail to understand is that he--and for that matter, Chavis--are the guys playing in the game. Tonight he has made no errors and did get a clean single that contributed to the rally that tied the game even though the run so far is unearned. One more time. Dalbec is absolutely not the reason why the Sox are losing.
  17. Maxbialystock
    Ottavino pitching his third straight game.
  18. Maxbialystock
    Another bonehead play by Vazquez on the throw although the SB was on Ottavino.
  19. Maxbialystock
    What baloney. He has one more hit in this game than Hernandez, Renfroe, and Vazquez combined. And he went home because the 3b coach pointed home and didn't signal him to stop until he was halfway home. That play was on the coach, not the player.
  20. Maxbialystock
    WEEI guys confirm that play--going for home--was on the third base coach who pointed home.
  21. Maxbialystock
    It was in fact a weak sac fly. Verdugo made an amazing slide.
  22. Maxbialystock
    Gotta agree.
  23. Maxbialystock
    WEEI guys are blaming Dalbec, but the replay suggests the 3b coach didn't make much of an effort to hold him at 3b. 1-1 game with both runs unearned. Rays beat Guardians in 10 coming from behind.
  24. Maxbialystock
    Correction. Chavis's hit was an error.
  25. Maxbialystock
    Bottom of the Sox order now has 5 of 7 hits.
