    Nice.
  2. Maxbialystock
    I'm questioning only his pitch calling tonight. I think Sawamura and Pivetta both pitched better than the results attained.
  3. Maxbialystock
    If the Jays win this series, I have to say they sure look like the better team.
  4. Maxbialystock
    Heart of the Sox order continues to roll over and play dead in crunch time. All fastballs to Devers, three swung on and missed badly.
  5. Maxbialystock
    Devers swung at the first pitch, a strike, and missed. Also the 2d pitch.
  6. Maxbialystock
    After 5 straight shut out innings, is there any hope the Sox will rally in the 8th? I ain't seeing it.
  7. Maxbialystock
    Great stats, as always. Tonight, however, I'm pretty sure not much swinging at first pitches by the Sox.
  8. Maxbialystock
    What a break for Valdez. Very, very lucky. Chavis actually caught a throw to 2b.
  9. Maxbialystock
    A fair point. I'm picking on Vazquez because we are losing a game in which we had a 5-2 lead. So I'm also taking pot shots at the hitters, especially Verdugo, JDM, and Bogie in the 7th.
  10. Maxbialystock
    Hernandez gets pulled, but why?
  11. Maxbialystock
    In the 7th with the heart of the Sox order up, 3 up and 3 down in large part because all three believe you should never, ever swing at the first pitch. That wouldn't be so bad were it not for the fact that every team the Sox face knows they won't swing and therefore opposing pitchers basically get a free first strike. Almost as bad is that, once our hitters get behind, they will swing at almost anything, especially pitches in the dirt.
  12. Maxbialystock
    I swear Cora has an iron clad rule: don't swing at first pitches.
  13. Maxbialystock
    Whoops, there goes another rubber tree plant, by which I mean another first pitch strike by the Jays. But throw one in the dirt and the Sox hitters will swing away. JDM takes three called strikes after Verdugo gets a called third struck. Whoops, there goes another first strike by the Jays pitcher.
  14. Maxbialystock
    Good pitch for the K.
  15. Maxbialystock
    On another thread someone raised the issue of swinging at the first pitch, which the Sox almost never do and which opposing pitchers know about and normally, usually throw a first pitch strike. Statistically, that gives the opposing pitcher a big advantage.
  16. Maxbialystock
    In case anyone's forgotten, the Sox pitchers have given up 5 earned runs. This game should be tied at worse. 3 errors are atrocious. And I'm guessing so is Vazquez's pitch-calling.
  17. Maxbialystock
    Error by Chavis on a very easy play. This team is coming apart at the seams. Errors by Chavis, Devers, and Renfroe. Lousy pitch-calling by Vazquez (in my opinion). And of course rotten hitting since the 5 runs in the 2d. That final single was off a splitter because the Jays finally wised up and of course Chavez kept calling for it.
  18. Maxbialystock
    Sawamura got that K because finally Vazquez mixed in one fastball, which made the splitters more effective.
  19. Maxbialystock
    I'm gonna say this in hopes of a response from moonslav. I do not think Vazquez is a very smart catcher. I don't think Pivetta is as bad as Vazquez made him look with the pitches he called for. First he calls for nothing but fast balls, then for nothing but splitters.
  20. Maxbialystock
    Splitter in the middle gets and out.
  21. Maxbialystock
    Jays love Sawamura's fastball, and that's mostly what he's thrown.
  22. Maxbialystock
    Stupid, stupid throw to 3b, fortunately caught.
  23. Maxbialystock
    Matz has gotten a lot of mileage out of that changeup. Most Sox pitchers eschew throwing changeups.
  24. Maxbialystock
    I have a sneaking suspicion the wind has affected the pitching and that Matz adjusted and Pivetta didn't.
  25. Maxbialystock
    Matz, on the other hand, is loving every minute of going thru the Sox batting order for the third time. And there goes a flyout by Hernandez in his 4th time vs. Matz.
