    I do not believe that. Taylor completely ignored the runner on 1b and literally gave him 2b. On the other hand, he did get the K to end the inning, so good play on letting him steal.
  2. Maxbialystock
    All three Yankee hitters this half inning have hit the ball hard, but on the ground. Thus 2 outs and a single.
  3. Maxbialystock
    Yes, absolutely, I think it's great pitching by Montgomery. He mixes his pitches and locations. The Sox just hit the heck out of the Jays pitching, so they are not in a slump. And they are playing in front of the home crowd.
  4. Maxbialystock
    Vintage Chavis. Swings at a pitch that bounced 5 feet in front of home plate. I say again, this game is being played exactly the way the last two were played at Yankee Stadium. Did anyone else notice that Montgomery completely dominated the three Sox hitters? If he is a lousy pitcher, we better hope the Sox never have to face a good one.
  5. Maxbialystock
    I just checked. Vazquez does indeed lead MLB in PB's with 9. Next worst has 5, so Vazquez is a good bet to finish the season with the most passed balls.
  6. Maxbialystock
    Verdugo back in his not so good groove.
  7. Maxbialystock
    Well done, Taylor. Now comes the bottom of the Sox order--the only ones with any hits. First six hitters--Kike, Raffy, Bogie, JDM, Renf, and Vazquez--are impartial observers. Correction. Vazquez is actually playing for the Yankees.
  8. Maxbialystock
    And he walks him. And falls down on the mound. This should be good.
  9. Maxbialystock
    Taylor starts by throwing 2 straight far far from the strike zone.
  10. Maxbialystock
    Agree.
  11. Maxbialystock
    Agree--both starters are probably done. That makes it a battle of the bullpens.
  12. Maxbialystock
    We certainly saw that with ERod's changeup. Tough pitch to master.
  13. Maxbialystock
    His OPS doesn't count on nights when he is pitching this well. And so far--4 innings, granted--the first six Sox batters are hitless with 4 K's and 1 BB. Both hits were singles by #7 Verdugo (in a slump) and #9 Chavis. Yes, Montgomery did get lucky when Bogey hit the liner straight to the SS with the bases loaded. Also when Bogey's long drive went foul.
  14. Maxbialystock
    He's thrown at least one splitter (for a strike) and he has 2 fastballs, one of which breaks down.
  15. Maxbialystock
    Perhaps, but he has been extremely valuable in the bullpen and relieving puts less stress on his arm.
  16. Maxbialystock
    The NOAA map says there aren't that many rain clouds in the area, so I guess the Yankees chaplain wrote out a weather prayer: rain, rain, don't go away, stick around for just one more day.
  17. Maxbialystock
    Houck is throwing great, no question: 8 K's and 1 unearned run in 4.2 innings. But he did give up back to back walks to start off the 4th. And let's not forget that he is going against the Yankees weakest lineup this season. Montgomery is going against a much tougher Sox lineup which he has tamed. They came out like lions and tigers--see all the dingers they hit in their last 2 games-- and have been converted to pussycats.
  18. Maxbialystock
    Sloppy, sloppy field which is good for the Yankees at bat and bad for Houck and the Sox defense.
  19. Maxbialystock
    Season to date, sure, maybe he does stink. But tonight he doesn't stink one bit. The reason why the Sox hitters' "approaches" are off is that he is mixing up his pitches and location. His changeup is especially effective tonight against the Sox righty-dominant lineup.
  20. Maxbialystock
    This game is being played like it's in Yankee Stadium, not Fenway Park. We got the rain. We got good pitching by the Yankees pitcher. And we got the Sox lineup not supporting a valiant effort by rookie Houck.
  21. Maxbialystock
    Changeup low and outside of the strike zone, so of course dipstick Vazquez, the master of passed balls, the chubby catcher who wants to steal bases, pulls the ball for an easy ground out to SS.
  22. Maxbialystock
    Completely disagree. At least against the Sox good hitters, Montgomery has them by the short hairs. He mixes up his pitches and pitch locations.
  23. Maxbialystock
    Too many times this season a Sox hitter gets a ball on the outside corner and pulls the ball weakly for an out.
  24. Maxbialystock
    No Sox pitcher can pitch to the outside corner the way Montgomery has against JDM in this at bat. 4 straight on the outside edge, but 2 just missed.
  25. Maxbialystock
    Kudos to Houck!!! He definitely stumbled with those 2 walks, but recovered beautifully. Vazquez, on the other hand, pisses me off. Does he lead MLB in passed balls? Is he thinking about stealing a base when he's catching?
