    Great 6th for Pivetta. 102 pitches.
  2. Maxbialystock
    There are no elite offenses in a down year for offenses. The simple truth is that tonight Pivetta stinks and Smyly has hung in there against what has been, for most of this season, the best scoring with the highest OPS offense in MLB. Don't defend Pivetta when he doesn't deserve it.
  3. Maxbialystock
    Pivetta just cannot stand success and will not tolerate a tie game.
  4. Maxbialystock
    Smyly gives up another dinger, which is why his ERA is high this year. Wham!!!! Devers nails one, lefty vs. lefty. 3-3 is huge in view of the thunderclouds headed toward Fenway.
  5. Maxbialystock
    Ump also not giving calls to Smyly.
  6. Maxbialystock
    The mlb.com gameday graphics suggest that Pivetta ain't getting calls on some pretty good close ones.
  7. Maxbialystock
    To remind. Going in, the Sox were supposed to have a big edge in starters. Except for the Renfroe dinger, the Sox have been mostly quiet while the Braves keep smacking that ball hard with 6 hits so far.
  8. Maxbialystock
    Crowd shmowd. Sox are 16-7 on the road where the crowds are either rooting for the home team (other than the Phillies) or too small to make a difference.
  9. Maxbialystock
    Dalbec working to be pathetic.
  10. Maxbialystock
    Renfroe! 3-1
  11. Maxbialystock
    Guess I'm wrong after all. Bogie hits one to the track in CF!!!!!!! Caught for an out of course, but you gotta find ways to enjoy a game like this. Whoopee!!!!
  12. Maxbialystock
    I'm not watching. I'm listening while looking at gameday on mlb.com. And it's painful to see how easily the Braves score against Pivetta, supposedly the Sox best starter and how easily Smyly, he of the 4.97 ERA, gets the top of the Sox order out. Are you perchance watching or listening to a different game?
  13. Maxbialystock
    Sox are overmatched, and by a NL team at Fenway, yet. Better hitting, pitching, you name it.
  14. Maxbialystock
    I too will take Richards over Morton. The sad fact is the Sox bats blew the first 2 innings opportunities and never recovered. It is criminal that Santana led off the 2d with a triple and didn't come close to scoring. Richards goes 5.2 giving up 2 if Sawamura doesn't give up that double.
  15. Maxbialystock
    Which the Sox rarely have--in comparison to other MLB teams an in comparison to the hitting and scoring they customarily have. No question the Sox also need hitting, which they didn't get tonight by a long shot. 3 runs in 9 innings is by any measure a good game for the Sox pitching staff. Plus to me the pitching this year is better than I expected--especially the rotation (and despite ERod's ERA of 5.07). My real point Sunday afternoon was to defend Cora for not putting JDM or Bogie in the lineup in what I thought was a lost cause with ERod going against Wheeler. I made a big deal about how Bogie and JDM wouldn't have made a difference if they had played, but the fact is we will never know.

    Actually, the horse ain't dead. It's a hobby horse, and I'm still riding it. After tonight, however, you can maybe make a case that the two days rest didn't help Bogie or JD Martinez, so they might just as well have played Sunday afternoon.
  17. Maxbialystock
    Hmmm. Looks once again as though good pitching beats good hitting. And tonight JD Martinez and Bogie are in the lineup and making absolutely no difference, just as they would not have made against Wheeler Sunday afternoon when the Phillies scored 6 runs. Indeed, the Sox hit better Sunday without these two than they are tonight with them.
  18. Maxbialystock
    What a difference with JDM and Bogie back in the lineup!!! This is the lineup we needed yesterday.
  19. Maxbialystock
    One of the games I can't watch because of the blackout restrictions, so it's the WEEI guys again.
  20. Maxbialystock
    Richards looking pretty good, Sox lineup not so good. Bases loaded, no outs, and just 1 run?????
  21. Maxbialystock
    AL East has best won lost record in MLB
  22. Maxbialystock
    Sox and Rays have the best W-L (.604) in the AL.
  23. Maxbialystock
    Mickelson at -7 and 2 up over Koepka.
  24. Maxbialystock
    Meh. Hard to beat Wheeler when our starter is ERod with his 5.07 ERA only lasting 4 innings (and 4 runs). Rays now tied with our guys, and the Yankees are .5 back with a walk-off walk just now. Welcome to the AL East, the toughest and winningest division in MLB this year. Sawamura and Andriese both done good today. Braves come to town Tuesday for two and then Miami for 3, followed 4 at Houston.
  25. Maxbialystock
    The Phillies haven't pitched around anyone in this series--except for Eovaldi last night, whom they walked and who later scored. And Wheeler doesn't need to pitch around anyone, or didn't you watch today's game?
