    Pretty good changeup, below the zone, and he still lined it to left field.
  2. Maxbialystock
    I haven't kept good track, but it seems as though this ump gives the corners to the hitters. Nice play by Bogaerts. And another.
  3. Maxbialystock
    Could be. If so, dumb.
  4. Maxbialystock
    Sox hitless first time thru the order (and 3 innings).
  5. Maxbialystock
    Some truth in that. ERod so far has a higher strike percentage than Heaney. Some of the fault, however, lies with the Sox hitters who are over-eager to swing and swing hard.
  6. Maxbialystock
    Heaney screwed on that call.
  7. Maxbialystock
    Angels are just tying to make contact, which has produced 5 singles. Sox are swinging much harder and have 0 hits. If they can't get a dinger, at least they can get a long fly out, which is almost as good.
  8. Maxbialystock
    Unfair, unfair! That guy just poked the ball into RF.
  9. Maxbialystock
    True. But in defense of ERod, I think he wasn't using spydertac or whatever, but also wasn't mixing his pitches up. Now he seems to have about 5 of them, including a changeup that's like it was in 2019. Plus his command is way better than earlier in the season.
  10. Maxbialystock
    ERod is pitching the 2d inning completely differently from the first. Now he's mixing his pitches and keeping the hitters off guard, which is why he was successful in his last start.
  11. Maxbialystock
    Understood. However, most pitchers actually like to induce grounders, which is what Verdugo hit, especially with a man on 1b. As for those dinky balls by the Angels, that also what hitters like to do, hit over the defense (if you can't hit it out of the park).
  12. Maxbialystock
    60 games and no fans constitute a nonseason, which means the postseason was also a joke even though it made Dodger fans happy and slightly ameliorated the Astros earlier WS win.
  13. Maxbialystock
    Watched most of the game, but not as closely as usual. Ohtani as advertised, the real deal.
  14. Maxbialystock
    On TV he is a wisp of a lad. No passed balls and almost no wild pitches when he is behind the plate. Last night he did cost Eovaldi a strike by the way he caught a pitch on the outside corner--he lurched for it.
  15. Maxbialystock
    Nice. I think he's a heckuva catcher.
  16. Maxbialystock
    JDM comes thru big time. 3-2 in the 6th.
  17. Maxbialystock
    Looks like the Sox lineup is going to have to get to Ohtani, as hard as that is, because otherwise he is going to go the distance.
  18. Maxbialystock
    Thanks.

    Listening to Ray Charles singing It's Crying Time Again. And watching the denouement of Saving Private Ryan when Hanks and his guys mostly get blown away by the Germans.
  20. Maxbialystock
    Andriese.
  21. Maxbialystock
    So much for the pitcher's duel.
  22. Maxbialystock
    This isn't the 1st inning, it's the 10th.
  23. Maxbialystock
    Ohtani ain't afraid to throw strikes.
  24. Maxbialystock
    Game starts with a bang! Hernandez double, grounder to move him to 3d and long fly to score Hernandez.
  25. Maxbialystock
    On the other hand, right now Devers has the highest WAR on the Sox at 3.4, part of which is DWAR of +.4. Bogaerts WAR is 2d highest at 2.7, including a DWAR of -.7. So, if WAR and DWAR have any meaning, you can make a good case Bogie's defense isn't that big a problem.
