    I think Kimbrel would love that arrangement, especially because he would charge $500K per save because he has to make up for all the money he hasn't been paid this year. Plus of course no windows, no 8th innings, nobody on base when he goes in, no tie games, etc.

    Next time have the good sense not to usurp someone else’s right to start the game thread. You are bad news.

    What impressed me about Brock Holt yesterday is that he was demonstrably ready to play after a long layoff. Clean single to left and great grab and throw on in grounder up the middle. Like Pedey in his heyday.

    Maybe it is time to move Devers up, but saying WTF CORA is a monumentally cheap shot.
  5. Maxbialystock
    You bet. Moonslav batted .333–not too shabby.

    Most people agree with Ted Williams that the most difficult skill in all sports is hitting a round ball with a round bat squarely. I happen to think a pitcher has to be able to throw hard, throw accurately--way more accurately than any knife thrower ever because none of them threw from 66 feet--and do both with a variety of spins. That's my explanation for the rise and fall of pitchers, except for those few who are born with great control. It's also why starters, who throw 100 pitches per game--get the big bucks when they show some consistency.

    You're darn right, and I think it's a good thing. Better that than a ho hum, "nothing counts until September" attitude.

    The rumor of the Sox demise just might be just that--a rumor. I certainly have griped with the best of them. But the Sox took 1 of 3 in Houston and actually outscored the Astros, 10 to 9, for the series. Still a whole lot of work to do, and goodness knows the Yankees are hot. But the Sox look anything but dead to me.

    Big win. Plus in retrospect all 3 games were close.
  10. Maxbialystock
    Just a horrible, horrible at bat by Chavis. You'd think he was a rookie.
  11. Maxbialystock
    You bet. Who was the jerk who said all this team is trying to do is find new ways to lose? Oh, wait . . .
  12. Maxbialystock
    I'm sure you're right. I was just enjoying being a smart ass--about the other team for a change.
  13. Maxbialystock
    Thank goodness--DD finally went out and got a real third baseman! But whatever happened to old Devers? I mean, the guy was likable and sometimes could hit.
  14. Maxbialystock
    Great rbi by Benintendi, but I'll never understand why Verlander stopped throwing him fastballs. Not so great AB by Mookie.
  15. Maxbialystock
    That is one weak-armed centerfielder. He's lucky they cut it off because I'm not sure it was going to make it home on the ground.
  16. Maxbialystock
    So which is worse? Seeing Beni take a fastball right down the middle or seeing him swing at one and miss it completely? Miraculously Verlander is going to the curve in the dirt.

    JBJ move the runner to 3d. Nice.
  18. Maxbialystock
    Nice play by Pearce. Not everyone would have run on that WP.
  19. Maxbialystock
    Peace. I feel right now like i'm in the movie Network and mad as heck and don't care who knows it. This team this year so far seems at their best trying to find new ways to lose games.
  20. Maxbialystock
    Credit to ERod. In the 2d he is really hitting his spots, and that ain't easy, especially for him.
  21. Maxbialystock
    Heels leading GT after 6, 6-1.
  22. Maxbialystock
    Who gives a hoot in whatever whether Betts bats 1st or 2d? Seriously. As for those three rotten players at the bottom of the order, that's who Cora has. And have you forgotten the incessant drumbeat on last year's game threads saying exactly the same thing about a lineup that won 108 games?
  23. Maxbialystock
    Stunningly stupid at bat by Chavis. He let 2 strikes go and swung once at a ball out of the zone.
  24. Maxbialystock
    I am convinced that on a throw to the plate the last thing Vazquez is interested in as actually catching the ball--unless it's a strike right over the plate. He always seems to take a swipe at the base runner whether or not he has the ball. Whoops. Another passed ball by Vazquez, which makes 7.
  25. Maxbialystock
    What is it about the first inning and ERod's need, obsession really, to throw nothing but fastballs?
