  1. Good stuff on the bullpen who have been unfairly maligned now and then (including by me).
  2. That makes all kind of sense. Thanks.
  3. Right on both counts. I might add that Alcala routinely struggles in tough situations.
  4. Agree. Plus let's not forget Wong is scorching hot right now--3/7 in his last two games.
  5. How is that possible with today's technology?
  6. Meh. It was the 7th inning, not the 9th. Plus I like to think Duran made a great play and you want to take it away from him.
  7. Looks like Whitlock is in good company--almost the same as Crochet and Chapman. Do you simply disregard ERA's? That's what those three have in common--good ERA's.
  8. With 2 men out, the runner is going when the ball is struck. The throw had to be perfect. As for Toro, the grounder was to his left, which made going to 1b was the easy out with a 3 run lead. It also meant a GIDP was unlikely if he goes to 2b first.
  9. You are so wrong. He has given up 1 ER in his last 13 appearances, including today.
  10. Doesn't count. Same goes for Bregman's 2 K's this game against a lefty starter.
  11. Two excellent defensive plays. First was Story grabbing that awful throw from Toro, and second was the terrific thrown by Duran to nail the guy coming home. He also had to charge the single.
  12. You nailed him. $21M was/is insane. Giolito was a big mistake too, but at least he's pretty decent this year.
  13. FWIW, this Sox pitching staff is the best since 2018 and has the same ERA as 2018 and is ranked the same, 8th in MLB.
  14. Reading this game thread, one would conclude the Sox were down, 6-3 instead of up 6-3.
  15. Maybe the real Houdini is Cora. He pulled Buehler just in time and brought in exactly the right guy. He also started Criswell last night. It does help that the Astros hitting this year is crap.
  16. You're darn right you should. Get with it.
  17. Moronic is the wrong word. Right now I'm thinking Houdiniesque is better. Agree completely on max runs.
  18. We all have, sort of. I did say I saw no need to sign a first baseman--maybe because I have actually been to a bullfight. Bregman looks like crap today. Fine with me. Great timing.
  19. Sox leading 6-2 against the AL West leaders while starting the worst pitcher in the entire history of MLB. Time for good Sox fans to hang Breslow in effigy. Maybe Cora too.
