    Am I wrong or is Pivetta only throwing fastball and slider? Saw plenty of knuckle curves in the 3d. Also a clean inning. Hmmm.

    1, 2, and 3 go hitless, and 3 tries to kill the rally with his patented GIDP, and 6, 7, and 8 (Gonzalez, Arroyo, and Renfroe) all get clean singles. Dalbec then K's. Nice grab by the mom in dark blue.

    Hah! Bogie read that snide remark and decided to show us the Sox defense ain't dead yet. The Tigers starter, meanwhile, demonstrated once again that throwing from that mound is trickier than it looks. Then JDM goes for this third straight rally-ending GIDP and falls slightly short.

    Mojo aside, the issue that concerns me most is the hitting, which was great for big chunks of April, but that seems to have been a false positive. The pitching is still better than I expected. The defense continues to be a problem, but it is what it is.

    I'm confused by two things: your temper/language; your assumption that no one else has anything useful to say about Whitlock. We would have to be blind not see how effective he has been this season. But, as someone else said, he's coming off Tommy John surgery (July 2019), which can be tricky. On top of that, Bloom gambled in December by making him a rule 5 draft pick, which means he must remain on the Boston Red Sox active roster this entire season. Given that, I think Cora has every reason to be cautious about how often and for how long he uses Whitlock. Thus your argument that Whitlock's talent--which we have all seen clearly--shouldn't be hidden is specious.

    Good points.
  7. Maxbialystock
    Hope you're right, but the 9 game winning streak is looking more and more like an aberration.
  8. Maxbialystock
    Sox have been working steadily at it and are now mastering the art of losing. Lousy bullpen, lousy decision by Cora to limit Whitlock to 1 inning, 2 errors, and our rbi leader taking a wrecking ball to the offense with those GIDP's.
  9. Maxbialystock
    That's about it. Get 'em tomorrow.
  10. Maxbialystock
    ERod was off but not terrible. The bullpen, especially Andriese, killed us, but they have been staunch many times already this season.
  11. Maxbialystock
    Devers, Vazquez, and Dalbec in the 9th. The 8th was our best chance. But anything can happen in baseball.
  12. Maxbialystock
    Another hit for the scum at the bottom of the order.
  13. Maxbialystock
    Taylor, Taylor, Taylor!
  14. Maxbialystock
    Taylor is in. Price of victory just went up.
  15. Maxbialystock
    Dalbec overmatched by a steady diet of fastballs. I think he wanted his Mommy.
  16. Maxbialystock
    Bogie is stark, raving nuts. Way to go, Bogie!
  17. Maxbialystock
    Andriese's ERA just shot up. Let's hope this is a slugfest and our guys come thru. 3 innings left.
  18. Maxbialystock
    Both Rangers' hits off fastballs.
  19. Maxbialystock
    When Bob Gibson had his incredible 1.12 ERA season in 1968, the story was that, when the Cardinals scored a run, someone would tell Gibson, "OK, there's your run."
  20. Maxbialystock
    Excuse me. I didn't know we were rooting against the bottom of the order. I'll try to remember the next time through the order.
  21. Maxbialystock
    Actually, Vazquez, who has 2 hits tonight, Dalbec, who has none but does have an rbi, and Renfroe, who got the 2 run dinger.
  22. Maxbialystock
    Gotta give Hearn some credit. He has pitched better with the bases loaded. He has relied on his fastball and mostly pitched it to good spots.
  23. Maxbialystock
    Three singles and a walk = 2 runs in, no one out, and Devers at the plate.
  24. Maxbialystock
    Great at bat by JDM!!!!
  25. Maxbialystock
    double entendre
