    Great 2d by Sale!!!! 2-1 after 2, so maybe I'll calm down a little on try to enjoy the game.
  2. Maxbialystock
    Come on. He's having a great year but before tonight the Sox were 6-3 with Mookie on the bench. Mookie was in the lineup when the Sox got that no-hitter thrown at them.
  3. Maxbialystock
    What I really love is that he swung on a 3-1 pitch because he was looking for a fastball down the middle. Last year's Holt would have taken any and all 3-1 pitches thanks to the Bill James rule: a walk is as good as a hit, which it most certainly is not.

    Not to speak ill of the dead, but, if Hanley had been a 1b, he would have paused going to 2d and been out at the plate. Nunez hustled his ass off.
  5. Maxbialystock
    Wow. Way to go, Holt!!!!!!
  6. Maxbialystock
    Hilarious. Devers fights to get another chance so he can show his ass on two consecutive balls in the dirt.
  7. Maxbialystock
    It sure looked as though he was expecting a different location or a fastball instead of a slider. He waved at it.
  8. Maxbialystock
    Sox absolutely showing their ass in Houston. Two stinking games in a row.
  9. Maxbialystock
    It sure does. Nothing unfair about that.
  10. Maxbialystock
    30 pitch first inning so far.

    Remember the espn article on how Trout is better than Mookie and talksox has an entire thread condemning that thought, especially because it's based on WAR? One thing WAR does is give credit for actual games played. Trout plays every day. Mookie doesn't. He has downright gaudy stats, especially OPS, but Beni has already passed in rbi's.
  12. Maxbialystock
    Sale ain't got his good stuff/command. Could be a bumpy night.
  13. Maxbialystock
    Swihart had 16 passed balls in 2015, 2d most in MLB and most per game.
  14. Maxbialystock
    Red Sox trends to me means team trends, not so much individual trends. So my three trends are: best record in MLB; 2d best offense/OPS in MLB; 8th best ERA in MLB (and 2d best in AL). I think the pitching will improve, but won't be as good as the Astros. Hitting should stay in the top 2.

    I don't know about time's up because I'm fine with whatever Cora decides. But, as far as I am concerned, the one thing Pom has done this season is prove himself. He has always relied way too much on his below average fastball and knuckle curve, and he must be the only lefty starter in MLB who basically does not have a changeup. What we have seen this year--in my opinion, anyway--is the real Pomeranz. Even on a good day when he is really on, he has to nibble, nibble, nibble and consequently rarely goes beyond 6 innings. Last year he started 32 games and pitched 173.2 innings--a tad over 5.1 innings per start.

    Great start to the game thread, which YOTN will hopefully move over to the game thread area on talksox.
  17. Maxbialystock
    I believe that was the conviction held by most or all Sox pitchers after the 2015 season.
  18. Maxbialystock
    This was a throwaway game the instant Pom took the mound. It was possible to win, but the odds were against us. Mookie not playing made it a little worse. Agree moonslav should start tonight's game thread. Good idea.
  19. Maxbialystock
    Like I said, Beni needs to be aggressive on the basepaths.
  20. Maxbialystock
    I'm as anti-Pom and anyone here, but I am happy Cora is keeping him in the game even though the risk is there.
  21. Maxbialystock
    Bad call by the third base coach, which we all know he has done before this season. Only two excellent throws made the play at home close. Beni has speed and he is using it. Yes, he will make mistakes (overran 3b, for example), but he should be aggressive.
  22. Maxbialystock
    I knew it. Proof that aggressive baserunning by the Sox is simply not tolerated by the fans, and it makes no difference that in this case Beni tied the game.
  23. Maxbialystock
    That was a 9 pitch at bat by JBJ that led to the double to deep center. This is a new JBJ. Swihart was the exact opposite--clueless. That said, Moreland couldn't hit him either. Aggressive baserunning by Beni paid off. No doubt in my mind there would have been universal condemnation if he had been out. Few on this board like aggressive baserunning by the Sox.
  24. Maxbialystock
    That was classic Pom on that liner--totally unprepared to field his position. He routinely can't get to 1b before the runner on grounders to the right side.
  25. Maxbialystock
    What bs. Nothing wrong with the pitch call, but plenty wrong with the "stuff" Pom is throwing these days.
