I know from nothing about seams and pitchers, but the pitches I've seen this year seem to break as much as in previous years--except maybe for Wright's knuckler.
-
Moreland scores from 2b on a double!
-
Hey, he stuck around all the way to 11-2 and not without some pain.
-
My picture of it says it was right on the corner.
-
Tanaka is a different pitcher when his control is off.
-
That was a terrible call--and completely unnecessary. Just ask the 1b ump. I invariably defend umps, especially home plate umps, but this guy is likely to get an adverse report from the chief umpire.
-
Hard to believe.
-
Judge needs to stay away from that wall in an 8-2 game--or anytime.
-
That was inside, but I love it when umps have a big strike zone. 7 straight outs by Porcello,who has given up 2 in 4 innings--against the Yankees, yet-- but on talksox he'll always be a bum.
-
I love that call because I hate the way batters just step out of the batter's box any old time they please. My rule would be that in fact a batter can step out of box as often as he wants, but there would be no timeout short of an injury.
-
You betcha. I probably need retract my complaint about his not catching that liner. He has smacked two hard doubles, one to right and one to left.
-
Perhaps. And perhaps he was compensating for tossing Holt earlier.
-
I think I might want to retract that Holt is dumb comment. He griped about a good strike, but the strategy of getting the ump to stop giving Tanaka those low strikes--which Tanaka absolutely needs in order to get guys out--might just have worked.
-
Moreland barely got from 1st to 3d on a stand up double by JBJ. Same exact thing happened in the 1st.
-
No, I'm not. But tonight I'm pissed that no one but no one but me wants Porcello to do well. I'm serious when I ask, whatever happened to rooting for your own team and that includes Porcello?
-
Right on! Porcello just stinking up with those 7 runs in the 1st. Oh, wait.
-
Sheer stupidity by HOlt. Now he's out.
-
Porcello is actually trying not to throw gopher balls and has thrown a lot of strikes. Plus, all things considered, that was a gutsy 2d inning and very smooth 3d. In a big game vs. the so-called arch rivals. But is anyone besides me pulling for him? Nope. Funny thing is, I'm usually very critical of Porcello, but tonight I thought he looked pretty darn good in the 1st. Plus, foolish me, I'm pulling for the Sox to win this game.
-
Tanaka give us 7 in the 1st, and it's ho hum. Porcello gives up 2 in the 2d against a very good Yankees lineup, and he's the worst stinking pitcher in MLB history. Is this really a Red Sox site? What the hell ever happened to root,root,root for the home team?
-
I think we can hold off on the talk about how great JBJ is. Awful.
-
What in the wide. wide world of sports do you mean by "pitchers what have actual pitching talent and that pitch within themselves?" I'm beginning to have second thoughts on the overload shifts because some hitters--including Devers for one-- have learned how to go the other way. If this continues, fine. Otherwise, I agree that the shifts bad for MLB.
-
Agree on the Tampa series, yesterday's bravura start by Morton, and this weekend. But that won't stop me from watching.
-
I'm with you. He is actually capable of that when he is on.
-
TylerD is going for a purple heart or something because tonight's game is fraught with peril. For starters, so far this year our guys have a losing record at Fenway. We have good hitting--hooray! hooray--but can be shut down by good pitching, and Tanaka (ERA 4.00) is pitching tonight--and he is backed up by one of the best bullpens in MLB. The Yankees also have good hitting, and Porcello is going for the Sox--he of the 5.61 ERA. Nevertheless, a game worth watching because these two teams are one of the best rivalries in sports. Fenway is a very photogenic ball park, and ain't nothing guaranteed for either side in a MLB game. Tanaka has a better repertoire and normally better control than Porcello, but he is anything but unbeatable this year. Forget the London game when both were terrible. I just like this Sox lineup. Lefties have a .787 OPS vs. Tanaka, and Cora can put several decent ones (especially Devers and Holt) out there and some good righty bats too.

Much better than my post. Well stated.
