  1. Now two dumb plays by the Rays, thank goodness. First a swing on a 3-0 count and a pop out. Then not running to 3b on a ground out.
  2. ERod pitched 6 innings and gave up 3 earned runs. That's a quality start. The lineup players are the problem. Horrible defense, horrible baserunning, and then lousy hitting 4th thru 10th innings.
  3. Looking at their wins per $million spent on players, I think the Rays have more geniuses on their payroll than most teams. Without him, the Rays were .5 games out of the AL East lead. It's probably fair to say that the Rays players are also schooled and developed better than most teams. The Sox, on the other hand, are renowned for overspending for players who maybe don't play so smart.
  4. Great 3d for ERod! Pitch to contact and avoid BB's.
  5. I am beginning to think Dalbec batting 7th, 8th, or 9th has helped.
  6. ERod has something to work with. Good for him, but he's going to have to pitch well. Sox hitting once again redeems all else. Pitching has suffered recently. Defense so-so. But the bats can change things in a hurry. First six guys this inning got hits or walks or rbi line drive caught.
  7. I've noticed lately that ERod is trying to pull those outside pitches.
  8. So he was penalized for pitching within the rules. Gotta give a guy credit for that. Plus tonight he showed some heart. I say that having been about as anti-Rodriguez as anyone can be. Top of the order redeeming things with their bats.
  9. Watching ERod tonight, I'm semi-convinced he never doctored the ball because his pitches look about the same to me.
  10. Yarborough killing Sox with his changeup--well, the righties, anyway.
  11. Replay on that 3d out still looks great!
  12. Danny Santana stinks in the field too, but Renfroe to the rescue! Great play for the 3d out. Renfroe caught it barehanded, great throw to the relay man, Bogaerts, whose throw beat Diaz by a mile.
  13. First slider by ERod. Outside.
  14. Another outside changeup swung on and missed by Dalbec. Smart pitching. Kind of dumb hitting even though Santana on deck is a pretty sure out.
  15. WEEI guys say slow pitching is Rays doctrine, and it sure worked on that 2d strike vs. Dalbec. He chased a changeup way, way outside.
  16. We need a public defender for Santana, someone who can explain the logic of not only playing him but having him lead off.
  17. Two nice grabs by the Rays on foul pops. What a contrast with the moribund Sox.
  18. Meanwhile the Rays look like, you know, a professional baseball team despite their losing streak. Isn't it amazing how the Rays can lose 6 in a row and the Red Sox look like the team in a slump?
  19. Sabotage!! I think this was discussed in the last gamethread. ERod has enough problems with his pitching, so a porous, inept infield makes it all that much worse. My suspicion is that Devers error was the direct result of his horrible K with 2 on in the top of the inning. His head wasn't in the game, which is too often the case. Then there was Santana leading off and getting K'd on 3 pitches. Looks like the Sox did not come to play.
  20. Nicely sardonic--"better luck tomorrow, guys."
