  1. Saturday is move day, and Mickelson is now 9 under (and 4 up on the pack) on a 7800 yard course. DeChambeau has disappeared--again.
  2. Paper shmaper. There are no dominant teams in MLB this year, and the Phillies, despite my sarcasm in the OP last night, are not pushovers. They win 5 of 10 games and the Sox win 6 of 10. They're good at home and the Sox are good on the road. Eovaldi, ERA 4.60, struggling not to become the Sox worst starter, is going against a promising newbie. The Phillies were rotten in the field last night, but the Sox were rotten the game before that.
  3. Eovaldi ® v. Howard ® Last night is ancient history, and tonight there is a new mountain to climb--even though there was a lot to like about 11-3. I would love to say the Sox have the pitching edge tonight, but Eovaldi has been up and down and definitely hittable even though he has the most innings pitched in the Sox rotation and is tied for most quality starts, 3. He has been better on the road (Texas and Minnesota) than at Fenway. Howard is the Phillies #1 prospect. Almost 25, he doesn't have much MLB experience and this year has relieved for the Phillies (ERA 8.31) and started at AAA. mlb.com write-up says he will likely be held to 60 pitches. All that suggests Howard will get pounded tonight, but someone else wisely said the Sox don't do so well against newbies. Phillies are better at home than on the road. This month they had a 5 game winning streak at home. However, just before the Sox arrived, the lowly Marlins came to town and took 2 of 3.
  4. They sure are. On the other hand, they might be asking themselves about this year's surprising Bosox: who are these guys?
  5. JDM is 7th in MLB in OPS, tied for 4th (with Devers and others) in home runs, tied for 2d (with Devers and others) in rbi's, and is 1st in runs scored. This is a lot like 2018, especially with the Sox leading MLB in runs scored, OPS, doubles, etc. And they are doing it without a certain rightfielder who plays on the other coast.
  6. I like the extra pitcher, but losing Brice while also playing in a NL ballpark--hence needing more pinch-hitters--makes sense. Santana for Brice is a no-brainer.
  7. Good news for Harper and the Phillies: this was just one game of 162. After all, tomorrow is another day.
  8. And embarrassing. Unwritten law of MLB: don't make $35M/year players look bad. To make matters worse, the Sox already had a 5 run lead.
  9. Booing definitely justified.
  10. You know, I'm sure, that Phillies fans are renowned for that.
  11. Nola now going thru the Sox order for the 3d time.
  12. Blind man with peg leg > Cordero
  13. Good for Perez. Don't swing. Can't do any worse than Gonzalez. So that's why they called Santana up!!!!!!!!!!!
  14. Nola's curve is way, way, way, way better than Perez's. Whoops there goes another Sox K'ing on that doggone curve.
  15. FWIW, I'm rooting for the Jays tonight. Rays a little too hot.
  16. What the heck is wrong with Verdugo? Why can't he takes those flies for JDM the way the Phillies centerfielder does for Harper? Plus JDM has a higher OPS than Harper.
  17. So far in the Phillies 4th, a walk, an HBP, and a very, very lucky lineout double play for Perez.
  18. Great pitching for that double play!!!! Perez owns the Phillies lineup.
  19. Wow. The changeup and curve hit hard in the 3d, so neither was thrown in the first at bat in the bottom of the 4th. All cut fast balls. Other lesson learned from the 3d inning double and dinger: if at all possible, don't throw strikes.
  20. Was that Jimmy Piersall who just ran way the heck over into RF to catch a fly hit directly to Bryce Harper? Of course Bryce is a five tool player: hits, hits with power, does wear a glove when in the outfield, does get to first when walked, and does in fact release the ball when he throws it.
  21. Phillies hit Perez's changeup and curve ball very hard. Hmmmmm.
