    He definitely is tonight. He has the Sox lineup mesmerized and helpless. His command is good, his changeup is really good, and his fastball might as well be 103 mph instead of the 93 mph it is. I think he has done a good job of mixing pitches and hitting the corners.
  2. Maxbialystock
    Who needs a changeup when the Sox can't hit a 93 mph fastball?
  3. Maxbialystock
    Pivetta's knuckle curve looking very good, but so is his fast ball.
  4. Maxbialystock
    MLB pitchers risk public shaming if they doctor the ball, the Sox scored 9 runs in game 1, the Rays 8 runs last night, and tonight we are watching a pitching duel.
  5. Maxbialystock
    Chavis and Verdugo have both made real contact with that changeup. Wacha is still working on no-hitter, however. As is Pivetta (after just 2 innings).
  6. Maxbialystock
    First guy to make contact with Wacha's changeup--Chavis? The WEEI guys say bad call by the ump.
  7. Maxbialystock
    Another K from Wacha's changeup. Sox lineup is being schooled.
  8. Maxbialystock
    Meh. To me the good pitchers don't need sticky stuff to the degree Richards does. See Pivetta right now. And it is BS to say 14 pitchers on a roster has any effect on lineup players. Duran isn't in the minors because of too many pitchers on the Boston roster. Same for any talented Sox position player at Worcester or wherever. Ever heard of a guy named Santana? Do you really think the great, talented Santana ain't playing tonight because the Sox have too many pitchers on the roster?
  9. Maxbialystock
    Another K from that changeup.
  10. Maxbialystock
    Wacha's changeup is absolutely lethal because it looks like his fastball and has a sharp break for a changeup.
  11. Maxbialystock
    Devers leads off with worked-for BB.
  12. Maxbialystock
    WEEI guys reminding us they are calling this game from Fenway.
  13. Maxbialystock
    Wacha is throwing a whole lot of fastballs with impunity.
  14. Maxbialystock
    Pivetta looks better than Wacha and, really, better than Pivetta. Good command, excellent fastball, very good curve, and good slider.
  15. Maxbialystock
    Richards, take note of Pivetta's hard-breaking knuckle curve.
  16. Maxbialystock
    Sox get one BB and 3 K's in top of 1st. An inauspicious start. I thought Wacha did throw smart pitches. When he can throw his fastball and changeup low in the zone (or just below it), it can be tough on the hitters.
  17. Maxbialystock
    A walk after an 0-2 count. Verdugo gets it, and Chavis could have.
  18. Maxbialystock
    WEEI guys: high fastball is Chavis's achilles heel.
  19. Maxbialystock
    Nothing like a little sarcasm before the game starts. I'm starting to like Kimmi's lineup. Good hitters get to cut in line: Verdugo, Bogey, JDM, Devers, Renfroe, 2b, Hernandez, Vazquez, Dalbec.
  20. Maxbialystock
    I need to admit that maybe "cheater" is a little strong when most pitchers have been doing it. So, yeah, Richards may be a whiner, but everyone reacts differently. He obviously needs that great curveball and now can't trust it. I'd probably whine too.
  21. Maxbialystock
    Pivetta vs. Wacha Sox got this. Chavis 2b Verdugo LF JDM DH Bogey SS Devers 3B Renfroe RF Rike Hernandez CF Vazquez C Dalbec 1B
  22. Maxbialystock
    Our winner!!!
  23. Maxbialystock
    Agree with you and with Kimmi: Verdugo, Bogey, JDM, Devers, Renfroe, Arroyo, Hernandez, Vazquez, Dalbec should work better than any Sox lineup so far this season.
  24. Maxbialystock
    I think all four points are valid even though 1 and 2 are in conflict with 3 and 4. My own ridiculous notion is that this year no Sox player wants to or is able to lead off. They all crave the "protection" of a spot further down in the order when expectations (for 7th, 8th, or 9th hitters) are lower. Kimmi's point, demonstrated statistically, is that who is in the lineup is far more important than where they hit in the batting order.
  25. Maxbialystock
    Romo did what comes naturally--or used to--to some MLB pitchers. Spaceman Bill Lee comes to mind. Also Dizzy Dean and Al Schacht.
