    We--you--don't know jack about this team. At least, not compared to what Cora knows. As for Moreland hitting for JBJ: JBJ has hit better in July than Moreland; the Sox overall are 6 of 34 pinch hitting; we lost because the hitting overall last night was abysmal + the bullpen once again gave up a couple of key runs. It makes no sense--to me, anyway--to blame last night's loss on Cora.

    How's the weather in Boston? My NOAA map says the stuff that caused delays in Baltimore has moved north and east.
  3. Maxbialystock
    You got me.

    Those RF grandstand seats are why I will never go back to Fenway. Worst sight lines in MLB.
  5. Maxbialystock
    Sorry about the title, but I can't seem to fix it. July 16 was the home run contest at Nationals Park. An omen?

    Gibson, righty vs. Johnson, lefty I'm giving the edge to Johnson because the sonofagun is a pitcher (vice thrower) and even though the Twins have won 3 straight on the road vs. Toronto. Sox might be a little tired because of the holdup in Baltimore which Cora has commented on. KC at Yankee Stadium tonight, Junis vs. Gray. Yankees and Royals both 5-5 in their last 10 games. It's a bitter pill for us fans to swallow, what with DD rashly picking up some guy named Eovaldi and dispensing with the estimable services of Pomeranz. Am I the only one to notice that Pom and Kimbrel both have those big knuckle curves and blazing fast balls?

    Price, lefty, vs. Bundy, righty Edge has to be to Price although the Orioles are going with 8 righty bats tonight + Davis. Betts RF Beni LF JDM DH Bogie SS Pearce 1B Holt 2B Devers 3b Leon C JBJ CF

    You need to start tonight's game thread. Get on it.
  9. Maxbialystock
    Great find. Thanks.
  10. Maxbialystock
    Bold words for a one-eyed fat man. I do think you guys have the better bullpen. But right now your guys are also more likely to have to play the wild card game.
  11. Maxbialystock
    I agree with everyone who says he should replace Pom. Certainly not Johnson.
  12. Maxbialystock
    He did it to himself--late covering 1b.
  13. Maxbialystock
    Soon we will start a thread about how Swihart was a pretty good pitcher in middle school and should be available for relief duties now and then, maybe even while he is catching. Would that be cool or what? Me, I'm happy DD and Cora kept Swihart on the active roster as a 3d catcher but not much more. Great decision now paying off.
  14. Maxbialystock
    He's a lot better hitting lefty.
  15. Maxbialystock
    A fair question.
  16. Maxbialystock
    I think you're being heavy-handed, especially when Kelly was if anything worse than Pom.
  17. Maxbialystock
    As I said earlier, I think Devers forgot there was only 1 out. JBJ did that twice last year. It's not about knowing. It's about focus.
  18. Maxbialystock
    The Sox have thrived this season without Pom, including early in the season when Johnson and Velazquez were both pressed into service as starters.
  19. Maxbialystock
    Good for you. I dislike Pom a ton, but agree with slasher9 that curve worked when it wasn't up and fat. Still no changeup, however.
  20. Maxbialystock
    Meh. I expected to lose this one with Pom on the mound. Lineup darn near won it anyway. Kelly is to me an engima.
  21. Maxbialystock
    Hell yes we do. I'm sitting. You're sitting. Lots of us are sitting.
  22. Maxbialystock
    Great first 3 innings by Pom, much better than I expected. Just 2 runs, a minor miracle. I kind of think of that as a Pom quality start.
  23. Maxbialystock
    Healthy, maybe. But effective? Not likely.
  24. Maxbialystock
    Nor mine, for crying out loud. Soft spot has nothing to do with it. Cora wants Devers at 3b. End of story.
  25. Maxbialystock
    "Hopefully" is the operative word. I met someone once who wrote a book entitled, "Hope Is Not a Method." But long-time Sox fans know that sometimes it's all we got. Well, and Velazquez of course. And rain. Here in DC we have lots of that and it ain't going away.
