  1. Phillies got clobbered last night, but tonight they played the Sox tough despite having to start Howard, who started out tough, got shaky, and had to leave after 68 pitches. Am I the only one on this thread who thought the bottom of the 9th was nerve-racking?
  2. What announcers? I'm listening to WEEI and they say he's been horrible at the plate and lousy in the field, which is true. Are they Fox announcers saying how great Harper is? If so, it shows they are fools because he is vastly, vastly overpaid.
  3. Game. Guts ball by Barnes. Love those knuckle curves.
  4. Horrible, horrible call by the homeplate ump on the swing and miss which he called a foul.
  5. This ump is giving nothing close to the Sox pitchers.
  6. WEEI good commentary on that K by Ottavino--that the K pitch was a fast ball with a lot of break, which it was--96 2-seam sinker. Same pitch gets Bohm.
  7. Herrera, Bohm (PH for pitcher and play 3B), and Marchan up in the 8th. Ottavino and Barnes for the win.
  8. Fast ball down the middle, fouled off by Kiki.
  9. Gonzalez, 4 for his last 36, singles sharply to RF and Plawecki barely gets to 2B.
  10. No question the strike calls have favored the Philly pitchers tonight.
  11. WEEI guys talking up the Sox "great bench" tonight, which of course hasn't been used. moonslav, you listening?
  12. Hernandez done good despite the HBP and the run scored. Another tough game.
  13. Ump still not giving Eovaldi any calls and plenty to the Phillies pitchers.
  14. Fox interviewed Richards with a split screen and the WEEI guys made no complaint.
  15. Well, they do lead MLB in attendance and probably have pretty good TV ratings. As I said on another thread, in his first season in Philly, Bryce Harper significantly increased their attendance.
  16. Bye, bye Howard. 68 pitches.
  17. Radio announcers griping about the split screen. I agree.
  18. By the way, Eovaldi getting that walk notwithstanding, that 2 run rally was thanks to me. Right before the Sox came to bat, I put the radio on my iphone which connects to my hearing aid. That one change in routine made all the difference. One of my absolute favorite recordings is Ella singing Max the Knife.
  19. Eovaldi looking better, mixing his pitches and throwing more strikes and staying out of the middle of the zone.
  20. Gotta love it. Eovaldi has struggled but shown some heart, especially getting that walk. Howard has been pretty good, but that walk hurt him. Sox haven't hit him hard, but have the two runs.
  21. OK, that's it. This ump is giving way more close calls to Howard than to Eovaldi. Anything borderline for Eovaldi has been a ball, but Howard has gotten several close ones. Great at bat by Eovaldi, while led to the 2 run rally and lead.
  22. So far Howard looks like the veteran and Eovaldi the rookie.
  23. Three k's off that Howard changeup, which is a better pitch than Eovaldi has in his entire repertoire. Sox have no hits after 2.
