  1. 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."
  2. 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.
  3. Actually, Vazquez, who has 2 hits tonight, Dalbec, who has none but does have an rbi, and Renfroe, who got the 2 run dinger.
  4. 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.
  5. Three singles and a walk = 2 runs in, no one out, and Devers at the plate.
  6. Hearn a lefty with a 6.94 ERA comes in against JDM, Bogie, and Devers.
  7. I haven't given up, but on talksox I keep reading that ERod is the absolute ace of this pitching staff this year. I think he has that potential, but he just missed an entire season and so far has given up 7 hits and at least a couple hard hit outs to a team whose run scoring is low (19th in MLB).
  8. OK, a groundout, but an rbi. And a man on 2b.
  9. Very good point. ERod looks fantastic tonight, with his very best stuff. He's only give up 3 runs in 3 innings.
  10. ERod looked very hittable in the 1st, which is now coming to fruition.
  11. ERod's changeup ain't working tonight. Way too hittable.
  12. Hitters striving to get the Mendoza line, unite!
  13. Allll right! Power at the bottom of the order. Blind squirrels can celebrate tonight. 2-0 for the good guys.
  14. Boy, I sure hope ERod gets it together in the 2d inning because Texas hit him hard. He was lucky on the three outs. Meanwhile, the Sox don't look so great against Lyles, he with the ERA of 6.39. Are they going to show shots of the retractable dome?
  15. Ted Williams hated night baseball--bad for hitters, he felt. But it sure has helped attendance and TV viewing even though long games deep into the night are a royal pain. Gotta give the Sox the edge tonight.
  16. Almost foreordained—against a tough starter and on short sleep. Good time for errors. Get’em tonight.
  17. Finally, a modicum of common sense. Gibson gave up 1 run in his last 14 innings.
  18. A 3 game streak is nice, but a 4 game streak is even nicer. Keep it up, TylerD! Rangers hitting and pitching to date are both subpar. Rangers are 4-8 in Arlington and the Sox 8-1 on the road. However, Kyle Gibson has an ERA of 2.30, 4 quality starts in 5 starts and held the White Sox to 1 run in 6 innings in his last start and the Orioles to 0 runs in 8 innings the start before that. Our guy Perez, on the other hand, has thus far been a stumblebum.
  19. Sox had to fly from NYC to Dallas after last night's game, so they could be tired. And the Rangers finally have a retractable roof--real grass and AC on the hot days, and dry field&fans on rainy ones.
  20. To me it's much simpler. The Dodgers pay their active players a whole bunch more than the Sox pay theirs, and the teams have the same W-L record. Or try this. Betts is one freaking position player, and one position never, ever can make up for the shortcomings of other position players. Trout has been the best in MLB for quite a while and the Angels have stunk throughout his career.
  21. Yes. Betts was/is unaffordable if your goal is building a good team. Losing him was a lot like losing Jacoby Ellsbury to the Yankees. And yes, I know Betts is way better than Ellsbury was.
