    Piece of cake, a lazy fly to RF for the third out. Rios had the Yankees bats under control.
  2. Maxbialystock
    Nope. He went 55 pitches and 3 innings, his limit.
  3. Maxbialystock
    Someone needs to go out to the mound and ask Rios, WTF are you doing?
  4. Maxbialystock
    Cole needed just 10 pitches in the 4th. If he can do that again, he will go 6 innings. No question he is dominating the Sox hitters.
  5. Maxbialystock
    Tonight he is definitely earning his pay behind the plate.
  6. Maxbialystock
    Just like last night, the big three--JDM, Bogie, and Devers--ain't doing much at the plate. 1 for 6 and 4 k's.

    I counted four pitches last night. 4 seam fastball, sinker fastball, slider (his best pitch), and splitter. If ERod is out, the Sox just lost their one starter with an ERA over 5. As for Sale, sure, nothing is written in stone. See ERod tonight. Or Richards trying to pitch without using glue on the ball. That said, Sale has a great track record and so far has had a great recovery from Tommy John.

    No, it absolutely was not chin high. Armpits, maybe.

    No dishonor in that at bat by Devers. Cole was at his best, and the only hittable pitch was the knuckle curve, the only one he threw. Cole has now thrown 70 pitches in 3 innings. Valdez has thrown 31 in 2. If he can throw two more good innings, he will have done a great job. But the WEEI guys say he has never thrown more than 3.1 innings.
  11. Maxbialystock
    Cole just threw a 94 mph changeup. A ball.
  12. Maxbialystock
    Cole is an idiot. He's got great stuff and trying to hit the corners against a rookie. I am pretty sure Duran can't hit that 99/100 mph fastball.
  13. Maxbialystock
    I don't agree. I am no expert, but it seems to me Houck the 6th starter now is the 5th starter, plus Sale should be here before long. Would I rather have ERod than Garrett Richards in the rotation? Absolutely. But Garrett did OK until he got to the 6th and the 3d time thru the Jays order.
  14. Maxbialystock
    No. But it's certainly good enough so far. He's hit two guys already, although the 2d was also ball four. I complain about Vazquez, but tonight he is definitely earning his pay, preventing wild pitches, calling for the right stuff from Valdez, throwing a runner out at 2b.
  15. Maxbialystock
    Back in the first when Cole was pitching, Boone came charging out to argue a call. WEEI guys say that is an automatic thumb from the game, but such was not the case.
  16. Maxbialystock
    Valdez has control issues, but throws some wicked stuff.
  17. Maxbialystock
    Rays up 4-3 in the 4th.
  18. Maxbialystock
    Vazquez again strives to take it easy on opposing pitcher. First pitch easy, lazy fly out. Wonder if he's go for his 10th passed ball tonight. That said, I do think he calls a good game.
  19. Maxbialystock
    The downside of making Houck the 6th starter is what we are watching now. How many outs can Valdez get before Cora has to go back to the bullpen, which pitched 5.1 innings last night and 3.1 in Toronto Wed night?
  20. Maxbialystock
    Astounding top of the 2d. ERod in trouble, leaves with possible injury, and Valdez works out of ERod's 2 on, none out jam without giving up a run. Cole, meanwhile, looks as badass as ever.
  21. Maxbialystock
    You can't believe that. With the possible exception of Connie Mack, owners who called all the shots on players have been uniformly unsuccessful. Successful owners like John Henry hire smart people to make those decisions and/or overwatch those who make those decisions.
  22. Maxbialystock
    I think it was on Ken Burns Baseball series that someone said that, before Curt Flood challenged the reserve clause, the average player made 7 times as much as the average fan in the stands. After Curt Flood, the average player made 7 X 7 as much as the average fan. That's probably still true.
  23. Maxbialystock
    ein gute frage
  24. Maxbialystock
    Last time, July 23, Eovaldi and Cole both pitched well. I expect the same thing tonight with ERod and Cole. We lost because Sawamura couldn't handle the rain.
  25. Maxbialystock
    Agree.
