    Nor can I.

    Price (L) vs. Ohtani ® Early start to the game thread because these two pitchers and especially teams deserve some pregame discussion. Both teams are beyond hot: Sox 13-2; Angels 13-3. We've played one good team, the Yankees. Ditto the Angels, the Guardians. FWIW, preseason I believe the Yankees were the pick in the AL East and the Astros in the AL West, so both teams are presumably over-achieving. Both starters very good this year, but Price was rotten last timeout, April 11. Ohtani, a rookie, was perfect through 6 innings (and went 7), April 8. Ohtani does not DH for himself, at least, not so far.

    Agree: pretty tough combo, which is exactly what has made Kimbrel so effective. Not a bad lineup. The mlb channel will carry one of two games--depending on what market you are closest to--tomorrow night late. One is us at LA, and the other is Houston at Seattle.
  4. Maxbialystock
    I can believe that.
  5. Maxbialystock
    Meh. I just want him to pitch well and he has done so. Run support is because he often goes against the other team’s best starter, which was the case today.
  6. Maxbialystock
    That’s your dilemma, not the Sox.

    Cora is so dumb. 13-2 so far is no excuse for his innumerable incompetencies.
  8. Maxbialystock
    Mook is day to day. X is on the DL and one commentator says the Sox should not bring him back too quickly, which makes sense to me. I hope Cora leaves Lin at SS until Bogie is healed. Then move Lin to 2B or, worst case, primary backup infielder.

    Great, great win in tough conditions. I love the way Sale plays the game with an absolute minimum of fuss. Almost never shakes off a signal. Fields his position beautifully and is fast to 1b. Today that skinny guy wore short sleeves and toughed it out for 93 pitches and 5 innings and 1 run. Great bullpen work too by Hembree, Barnes, and Kimbrel. 9 hits but none of them by our three righty bats (JD, Hanley, and Vazquez. Cora got that right when he went with the 6 lefty bats. I sure hope the FO will reconsider sending Lin back to Pawtucket when Bogie returns. 13-2 with 13 of 15 solid (if not quality--that takes 6 innings) starts and the hitting looking pretty dadgum good. If the bullpen comes around, these guys just might amount to something this year. !!!!!!!!!!!!

    Great throw, but great slide by Beni. I'm fine with any call because it was really close.
  11. Maxbialystock
    I did not know that.
  12. Maxbialystock
    It sure is. He looked like he knew what he was doing out there.
  13. Maxbialystock
    Hembree, Hembree, he's our man! If he can't do it, nobody ..... well, hopefully, Cora brings in another arm. Meanwhile, a great 2 innings.
  14. Maxbialystock
    Hembree with 5 straight outs. What was I thinking when I called him a frightener? Plus he got that K on a slider.
  15. Maxbialystock
    Cora inserted 6 lefty bats into the lineup today, and boy did that work great. Our righty bats, including two hot hitters, JD and Hanley, could not hit diddly, at least in their first three at bats. All 7 hits came from lefty bats.
  16. Maxbialystock
    Actually, it was probably the best thing he could do because he sure as heck wasn't going to hit it. He struck out.
  17. Maxbialystock
    Three righty bats in the lineup today and all three have been worthless except Vazquez catching, but he just struck out with a man on 3b and 1 out. And lefty Devers did it with 0 outs.
  18. Maxbialystock
    Gotta agree with that, and I'm the one who called them wusses. These are the same guys who have scrapped in every game so far.
  19. Maxbialystock
    I woulda left him, but I think you and Cora are right. Now if Hembree can just get one more out. He did!!!!
  20. Maxbialystock
    Who's that masked man making a nice (not great) grab in LF?
  21. Maxbialystock
    Good old Hembree, all fast balls all the time. They singled off one of them? I'll fix that with more fastballs.
  22. Maxbialystock
    Speaking of frankenstein, one our bull pen frighteners just took the mound.
  23. Maxbialystock
    What's that line from Young Frankenstein? It's Alive! It's Alive!
  24. Maxbialystock
    An out, but a great swing by HanRam! Also, a tie game!
  25. Maxbialystock
    Could be right, but no one on talksox said anything like that before the game started.
