    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.
  2. Maxbialystock
    Dalbec working to be pathetic.
  3. Maxbialystock
    Renfroe! 3-1
  4. 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!!!!

    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?
  6. Maxbialystock
    Sox are overmatched, and by a NL team at Fenway, yet. Better hitting, pitching, you name it.
  7. 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.

    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.
  10. 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.
  11. Maxbialystock
    What a difference with JDM and Bogie back in the lineup!!! This is the lineup we needed yesterday.
  12. Maxbialystock
    One of the games I can't watch because of the blackout restrictions, so it's the WEEI guys again.
  13. Maxbialystock
    Richards looking pretty good, Sox lineup not so good. Bases loaded, no outs, and just 1 run?????

    AL East has best won lost record in MLB
  15. Maxbialystock
    Sox and Rays have the best W-L (.604) in the AL.
  16. Maxbialystock
    Mickelson at -7 and 2 up over Koepka.
  17. 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.
  18. 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?
  19. Maxbialystock
    Sox pull off a fantastic trick play to get the 3d out!!!! Vazquez astutely let that ball get to the backstop knowing it would bounce right back to him in time to trap the guy coming home. If only Cora had had the wisdom--heck, let's call it what it is, the guts--to play Bogie and JDM today, the Sox would be leading 7-6 or maybe even 9 to 6. I sure hope Bloom and Henry are watching this game today because, frankly, I've had it with softy Cora. This team has absolutely no discipline and no hunger to win games no matter what.
  20. Maxbialystock
    Now 5-1 because the bullpen, who (Sawamura, Andriese, Valdez) held the the Phillies scoreless for 3.1 innings, finally gave up a run on a sac fly. Whoops, make that 6-1. So I really have to ask again. Were Bogie and JDM really going to help the Sox score 7 runs today? How about 6 to tie?
  21. Maxbialystock
    Sorry, but it's a simple fact this year that ERod stinks. His ERA is over 5, and Wheeler's (2.32) is less than half that, plus he usually goes 7 innings, which minimizes the pressure on the bullpen. Last night the Sox scored just 4 runs in a close game and 2 of them came off a rookie starter who lasted 3 innings. So please don't tell me that today JDM and Bogie were going to send Wheeler to the showers early or even get a single off him.
  22. Maxbialystock
    Yup. But no way we're giving it back. Why the heck are we pinch-hitting for Santana?
  23. Maxbialystock
    So you're the one I stole that "do worse vs newbies" from. Thanks. I love it. But I'm still waiting for evidence that good hitting beats good pitching.
  24. Maxbialystock
    Speaking of rubber tree plants, did I just see Chavis go down swinging (again)? When the Sox get a dinger and the opposing pitcher gets down on himself , Chavis is the salve that heals.
  25. Maxbialystock
    So fine, give me some good examples from this year when these Boston Red Sox put an ace on the mound and he got hit hard. Or name an opposing ace on the level of Wheeler whom the Sox pounded. I dare you. No, I double dare you. Meanwhile, way to go to Franchy!!!
