    Actually, the shock treatment is already upon us--the Commish's dictum that foreign substances, long banned by the MLB rule book, will no longer be tolerated and violators will be suspended for 10 days. Pitchers all over MLB are going ape and claim this horrible rule will cause them to "involuntarily" throw at hitters heads because, well, it's impossible to throw a baseball accurately without recourse to various ointments, nostrums, etc. Garrett Richards is one of the more extreme examples of the Commish's "shock treatment," but in shock he very definitely is. And, in case you haven't noticed, Barnes devastating knuckle curve has lost a little magic and his ERA--2.57 in April and 2.70 in May--is 4.26 in June. I am by no means opposed to bringing back Sale, bringing up Houck, whatever. But first the entire Red Sox organization needs to address the simple fact that most or all of their pitchers have been cheating and now have to relearn their very remunerative trade.

    You live in Houston. A couple hundred miles to your NW is an Army post, the home of the 1st Cavalry Division. They still have horses for ceremonial purposes. Fort Hood also has several Army chapels, and in them on occasion there might be a mention or two of a place called Calvary.

    Game was already out of reach. Guys ain't hittin'.
  4. Maxbialystock
    Th-Th-That-that's all, folks!

    Too soon to be sure about Dalbec. Santana is another story. I think he is intentionally playing poorly.
  6. Maxbialystock
    WEEI guys cannot contain themselves in their praise of every aspect of Wander Franco.
  7. Maxbialystock
    Dalbec leads the Sox in K's and is 8th in at bats.
  8. Maxbialystock
    Dalbec 2 K's tonight so far and 4 K's last night.

    Camera in CF gives us a great closeup of the pitcher's grip on the ball during a pitch. Rios's splitter was clear as a bell.
  10. Maxbialystock
    Workman and Rios, 3.1 innings, 0 runs and 0 hits.
  11. Maxbialystock
    Ump caught that foul tip that hit him. He's got ten times the heart of cheater Richards.
  12. Maxbialystock
    How is it possible for the Sox pitchers to keep walking a non-hitter like Phillips? Plus he can steal 2b.
  13. Maxbialystock
    Meh. Simple fact is that tonight Hill has his number. He owns Devers.
  14. Maxbialystock
    First 5 guys in the Sox batting order have each faced Hill 3 times and clearly can't figure him out.
  15. Maxbialystock
    Rios throwing great splitters to good effect. Nice adjustment. Too bad cheater Richards can't adjust. He went 1.2 innings and gave up 4 earned runs. Workman and Rios, neither one an ace reliever, have gone 2.1 innings and given up 0 runs. Plus Workman saved cheater Richards from more damage in the bottom of the 2d.
  16. Maxbialystock
    I might add that I like the fact that this rule enforcement was not done in the offseason, which would only have allowed guys like Richards to figure out a different way to cheat.
  17. Maxbialystock
    Just about everybody else is adjusting with varying degrees of success. If Richards can't adjust, that's good for MLB because obviously he has been cheating heavily. Too bad for the Sox of course, but no worse than acquiring Sandoval, HanRam, et al.
  18. Maxbialystock
    What a contrast. Workman is still trying to prove himself with the Sox and tonight has thrown a zillion knuckle curves. He has given up 2 walks, no hits, and no runs in 1.1 innings. Workman is pitcher. Richards is a crybaby. Hill for the Rays is also a pitcher.
  19. Maxbialystock
    Funny thing about Richards. Everybody else is throwing breaking balls, but he can't/won't and prefers to blame his problem on that meanie, the Commissioner of MLB.
  20. Maxbialystock
    WEEI announcers are talking about how obvious it is that Garrett Richards has been cheating for years and is now unmasked while being paid $14M/year.
  21. Maxbialystock
    The spin rate stat is the culprit. The WEEI guys can quote Richards' spin rate--before and now--as well as other Sox pitchers like Eovaldi and ERod who don't have high spin rates.
  22. Maxbialystock
    WEEI keep saying Richards has been cheating for years. Poor baby. Poor Richards.
  23. Maxbialystock
    Richards screwed twice on calls, but he made that bed by having such rotten control.
  24. Maxbialystock
    Rays 5 runs on 3 hits.
  25. Maxbialystock
    WEEI guys say it's obvious that Richards relied heavily on foreign substances. And once again the Sox defense stinks to high heaven.
