    Perez has now thrown 67 pitches in 7 innings--shutout innings at that. I feel very safe in saying the ERod has never done that in his MLB career.
  2. Maxbialystock
    A note to all you ERod fans. Today we are watching another Sox lefty going up against the same lineup ERod faced. Only Perez doesn't throw as hard as ERod. What he does have is a better array of pitches and better command of them. And, unlike ERod, he is not afraid to throw strikes and even throw to contact.
  3. Maxbialystock
    Then I agree with you completely. If you leave ERod out, I'm definitely in. Heck, forget the sarcasm. I like the 3 guys you named, and Pivetta and Perez have stood tall in this series. Even including ERod, the Sox rotation is a ton better this year than we had an right to expect.
  4. Maxbialystock
    Well done, Bogie! First two rbi's by the Sox "big four" (Verdugo, JDM, Bogie, and Devers) in this 4 game series. 5-0 has a much nicer sound than 3-0.
  5. Maxbialystock
    Let's see if Bogie goes for the walk again.
  6. Maxbialystock
    Terrible call by the ump. Altuve should sue. Where's his manager and why isn't he complaining? Perez did not deserve a K against a good hitter like Altuve.
  7. Maxbialystock
    I love it when the ump calls lots of strikes. It keeps the game moving along. One of the big lines in Moneyball is that a walk is as good as a hit, and I'm sure that is true. The problem is that it's also very boring baseball.
  8. Maxbialystock
    Meh. Plawecki was dead meat the moment he came to bat--totally disinterested in swinging the bat. Probably saving himself for catching duties in 4 more innings, which is fine by me.
  9. Maxbialystock
    Perez a tad slow getting to 1b, but an excellent play by Dalbec.
  10. Maxbialystock
    Meh. He's been giving both pitchers breaks.
  11. Maxbialystock
    This game is a long way from over. That 3 run dinger by Arroyo is now looking borderline miraculous after what we just saw in the top of the 5th.
  12. Maxbialystock
    If ERod is the best #5 starter in the AL, I will be astounded. His WAR is -.1. I think it is enough to say the first four Sox starters are way better than we expected.
  13. Maxbialystock
    Finally, finally, the big four erupt with their first back to back hits in this 4 game series.
  14. Maxbialystock
    No K's by Perez yet. Bench him.
  15. Maxbialystock
    Arroyo almost lost it. Still a good grab.
  16. Maxbialystock
    I still like him, and he seems to get a good jump on the ball in CF.
  17. Maxbialystock
    Agree on all points, especially the headfirst slide. But that's Devers.
  18. Maxbialystock
    Get rid of Perez, who has utterly failed to execute the accepted Sox pitching guidance, "do not pitch to contact." This nut case doesn't have a single walk and has only thrown 25 pitches in 3 innings.
  19. Maxbialystock
    That's at least two drag bunts by the Astros that went straight back to the pitcher for easy outs. This is a set back because I was going to suggest the Sox bunt for hits more often than every three months.
  20. Maxbialystock
    Not that far off.
  21. Maxbialystock
    Double steal--my goodness. Too bad they nailed Devers going home. Astounding 3 run dinger by Arroyo. Game changer, I hope. Season changer, possibly.
  22. Maxbialystock
    But it was a fastball he smacked for a long double.
  23. Maxbialystock
    Completely agree with any and all tweaks to the lineup. I think the Astros have our guys buffaloed, but that could mean any change is better than no change.
  24. Maxbialystock
    Absolutely not. Those four are the heart of the Sox offense. Thus it is all the more dismaying they can't hit Astros pitching--at least, not yet. Odorizzi has a high ERA, 6.75, but looked pretty good his last time out against the Padres.
  25. Maxbialystock
    Actually, the problem may be that he loves Verdugo, JDM, Bogie, and Devers, who have stunk against Houston pitching.
