  1. WEEI guys commented Richards was relying on his fastball and slider. But in this inning we have seen fastball, slider, knuckle curve, and changeup.
  2. Pay back for Ricahrds, who got screwed on at least one good pitcher earlier.
  3. No one passed the word to Arroyo that tonight's the night to be sloppy in the field. Phillies also didn't get the word.
  4. On a previous game thread I commented that the Sox were less error prone recently. Tonight is a regression to their norm. Richards and Hernandez each charged, but Verdugo had one that the scorers didn't call.
  5. Great 3 run dinger by JDM! So now Richards had a 2 run lead, which he is likely to give up. So the question is, how patient will Cora be?
  6. Phillies are getting 1 hit per out and 3 runs per 4 hits with no dingers.
  7. WEEI guys said before the game that the Phillies hitters are hot, and they sure look that way. Sox outfield keep bobbling the ball, giving up extra bases.
  8. Here we go again. Two straight hits, and a bobble by a Sox outfielder.
  9. 2-1 after 1. Hard to predict how these 2 starters will do even though Richards pitched very well after the 2 leadoff double (one of which Verdugo converted to a triple). WEEI guys talked at length about Richards "reinventing" himself. They also think Harper was a great addition to the Phillies regardless of salary and that DD is the perfect GM, one of the greats.
  10. 3 good points: great in April, rest might help (he's pitched a lot of innings), trust Cora/Bloom. That said, Andriese currently is sent to the mound with an invisible white flag of surrender sewn onto his uniform because the game is over whether the Sox are ahead or behind. ​His WAR of -.7 is lower than those of guys who are no longer on the big club--Weber, Brewer, Brice.
  11. Completely agree. That said, the replays show him going back to 1b and camping there, so I'm guessing the 1b coach completely agreed or maybe even told him to tag up.
  12. True. Rafi is our best hitter and has driven in a zillion runs. But this is a game thread and it's hard not to get pissed when Devers, Renfroe, and Arroyo all screw the pooch with Bogie on 2b and no one out (then 1 out, then 2 outs). All Rafi had to do was single or even move the runner to 3b.
  13. Triple, double, then Devers, Renfroe, and Arroyo choke, choke, choke.
  14. Renfroe too. These guys look like the kid sister in the movie A League of Their Own.
  15. Another absolutely wretched, stupid at bat by Renfroe. He seem to think taking a ball is unmanly.
  16. Thanks, Raffie. We did not need a foul pop.
  17. Let's not forget they are paid by the team and the team wants Ohtani to be a superstar.
  18. Sox get a really lucky break!!!! Vazquez wasn't on 1b when JDM hit that triple.
  19. Sox have scored 21 runs in 6 games so far on this trip to the west coast, but 5 of those were unearned. So the hitting has been off, predictably so. The Angels team ERA to date is 4.97. So the Sox are scoring 2 runs per game below that.
  20. That's whining, but that doesn't mean you're wrong.
  21. Good point. Devers is pretty good at adjusting. I do not expect him to disappoint in the 2d half.
  22. Exactly. Nice inning for Sawamura, he of the 2.57 ERA.
  23. I meant the flip to Iglesias that started the double play.
  24. In the old days before replays and when baserunners were allowed to destroy the the fielder touching the base, they gave that call to the fielder every time. I too think he missed the base, but I also think the Sox deserved that GIDP
  25. Sox do not make that double play. Once again a Sox batter takes a hittable pitch, then grounds out on one out of the strike zone. Actually, the ever popular GIDP. But that kind of matches his passivity when Dalbec hit that ball of the wall and Vazquez could only get from 1b to 2b. Best ever bone head play by a Sox was at least a decade ago. Man on 2b, and the next batter hits it over the the rightfielder's head for a double or triple, but the guy at 2b was too busy sliding back into 2b because he didn't want to be doubled up! So he ends up on 2b and the batter gets a single.
