    Agree.

    can't get the game online, so am following pitch by pitch with graphics. Another dinger off ERod, who is throwing strikes but still getting a high pitch count.

    Correct me if I'm wrong--and I often am--but weren't the Lester and Betts departures (from low bids) the result of the FO paying too much for lousy players like Sandoval and H. Ramirez?
  4. Maxbialystock
    Just six games, but so far I see surprisingly good pitching, four as-expected good bats (JDM, Bogie, Vazquez, and hopefully Devers), and unexciting defense in the outfield and scary on the right side of the infield.

    Pumped is the right word, which reminds me: Thunder pointed out that a bunch of us--me, especially--were negatively pumped (deflated) just a week ago. But he was pumped back then simply because a new season was upon us with real baseball for real fans despite the pandemic, etc. These days I'm feeling pretty darn gruntled.

    Nice to know. Thanks.

    E. Rodriguez vs M. Harvey, lefty vs. righty ERod is a huge question mark. Great in 2019, heart trouble in 2020, and "dead arm" momentarily this spring. Harvey went 4.2 vs. the Sox at Fenway, giving up 2 runs and 6 hits, and the Orioles bullpen(Plutko, Tate, and Valdez) shut the Sox down for 4.1 innings with 1 hit.

    CB approves this thread!

    For the record, I was very pessimistic about this season. No pitching, suspect defense, and not much hitting—confirmed in first series except the pitching was ok. I am stunned by the Rays series and ecstatic because I watched all three games.
  11. Maxbialystock
    Yep. Nothing like April 4th to get me feeling gruntled for a change.
  12. Maxbialystock
    Unbelievable the way this game is evolving. Yarbrough looked untouchable.
  13. Maxbialystock
    Two very different starting pitchers. Both very effective in the 1st inning.
  14. Maxbialystock
    Indeed it is.
  15. Maxbialystock
    This game is at 1:10 pm, which I realized thanks to mvp78's lineup.
  16. Maxbialystock
    Looks like 8 righty bats to me.
  17. Maxbialystock
    Show me. Explain why bigger and bigger MLB salaries are good for all of us.
  18. Maxbialystock
    Exactly. Kimmi has written meaningfully about batting orders, but I remain a skeptic. Better hitters toward the top of the order makes sense because they might get an extra at bat, but just one. And even then I have seen lineups that worked with good hitters late in the order. Most laughable of all is arguing about who should bat 2d when the odds are he will bat second one time in a given game.
  19. Maxbialystock
    Great player, no question, but in my view, good riddance. No player is worth that salary. The more MLB players are paid, the more we pay to watch them and the less minor league players are paid, which is why minor league teams are folding right and left.
  20. Maxbialystock
    AC said to do it again!
  21. Maxbialystock
    Yup. Arozarena already made a terrific grab in right center. Outfielders dread what George C. Scott said he dreaded in the movie Patton: a bullet headed right for his nose. In this case, it was a line drive right at Arozarena with too much green between him and the fence/wall. Thinking about it, I'm inclined to say Fenway overall just might have the nastiest outfield in MLB because CF is also no walk in the park.
  22. Maxbialystock
    The catch by Cordero was/is a rarity. Most outfielders insist on a minimum safe distance when playing near the Green Monster.
  23. Maxbialystock
    Agree. Napoleon did in fact say that he would rather have a lucky general/marshall than a brilliant one. Cora does seem to have that touch that gives a team confidence, and this year he seems to be going to the mound more often than in seasons past. I was mad when he left Andriese in too long in the 11-2 win, but last night thought the pitching was brilliant and, going against Glasnow, much needed. Perez surprised with a decent start and 5 innings, and the bullpen went 7 giving up 0 earned runs.
  24. Maxbialystock
    Stunning. See ya for game 3.
  25. Maxbialystock
    1.5 innings, Glasnow looks incredible but gave up a run, and poor Perez has 2 shutout innings. Pigs can fly, and the Sox have a shot at another win. Oh, and I'm getting this cotton-pickin game on mlb.com, and it's alive!!!!!!
