  1. Watching ERod, you have to wonder why/how he expects a big paycheck when he's a free agent. He was pretty good in 2019, and that's about it.
  2. No command, no bite to his pitches. He threw a changeup to a .173 hitter who hit it hard for a single. Ryu, meanwhile, as the Sox mesmerized.
  3. Is this a good time to bring up the much derided CERA (catcher ERA)? Plawecki's DWAR is -.2 and Vazquez's is +.4, but I could swear I saw a comment by someone saying Plawecki handles the pitchers better.
  4. Yankees could still be the sleeping giant, but the Jays are absolutely where the focus should be. Big series. Jays are 9-5 at home the Sox 12-5 on the road. Jays 7-3 in last 10, Sox 6-4. Overall, right now I like the Sox hitting despite Vazquez slump. I like the rotation even more because they were supposed to be rotten. I almost like the defense. And the bullpen is a little scary. Oh, and I really like the season to date.
  5. 7th and 8th might work. He has the 3d best WAR on the pitching staff, .7, the lowest ERA, 1.77, and 2d best WHIP, .98.
  6. Like the younger sister, Lori Petty, in A League of Their Own.
  7. Ball game. Baseball takes funny bounces. Angels bullpen finished well.
  8. High fastball seems but irresistable and unhittable by our guys.
  9. But not if you can't throw strikes.
  10. Slider/fastball are a pretty good combo
  11. Ohtani's had a pretty good series.
  12. Whoever said low in the zone to Chavis is a mistake has a point. Plus this year he seems a little quicker on the basepaths.
  13. Arauz BA plummets from .333 to .286.
  14. Only the bottom of the 7th. Still a lot of baseball to play.
  15. OK. Finally, finally Cora is bringing out the good relievers. It's about time, that's all I have to say.
  16. Wow. Who knew JDM gets inserted in LF for his defense?
  17. I just love computers. In fact I'm using one right now--ditto when I use the phone, ipad, etc. But most of all I love them when opposing managers listen to their siren call and pull their starter when he is pitching well just because there's a man on first with one out and the top of the Sox order--who couldn't hit Quintana--is coming up for the 3d time. I believe I am correct in saying that Cora does not usually pull his starter when the opposing team is about to face him for the 3d time. Today Eovaldi faced 23 batters despite giving up 4 runs in the 2d. Well done, Alex--and Eovaldi. And Valdez, for that matter.
  18. Great grab by Gonzalez!!!
  19. This pitcher for the Angels is a gift from their idiot manager.
  20. I used to not like Maddon because of the sneaky stuff he pulled. But now I'm beginning to like him. That was such a great move to get rid of Quintana.
  21. Nah. Joe Maddon worked that particular piece of magic by pulling Quintana.
