    Speaking of fire. I know Beni got those 3 hits and 3 rbi's, but did you see that misplay? Plus he has all that speed and simply stopped trying steal bases or do anything remotely risky. I'm thinking he has no fire.

    On to Tampa. Really? The Trop after Irma? Orioles at the Yankees tonight, Miley vs. Tanaka. Strangely enough,both have lousy ERA's this year, 4.96 and 4.82. Miley is 8-12, Tanaka 11-11. Tough luck for Baltimore: Ellsbury is leading off for the Yankees--no Gardner. Jacoby is tearing the League up this year--why did we ever let him go?--and Gardner is just, you know, pedestrian. No fire.

    I hope Kimbrel knows he still can't get the save if he is the one cutting the lead to 3 or 2 or 1 runs.
  4. Maxbialystock
    Why oh why do guys like Kelly, Reed, and Kimbrel--guys with pretty good stuff--have to make things so hard?
  5. Maxbialystock
    Bullpen, bullpen wherefore art thou, bullpen? I'll tell you where--out there scaring some pretty loyal fans, including especially those at Fenway.
  6. Maxbialystock
    No need to be. Positing JBJ at $100M for 5 years leads to a much more interesting discussion. Betts for that money almost makes sense. Where's the fun in that?
  7. Maxbialystock
    My, my. top of the 9th with Kimbrel on the mound. Whoops, single off a first pitch fastball.

    Since I brought zero mojo to this game and missed big chunks of it, I would like to thank all those guys talking about Thunder's eco class today instead. Vintage talksox. Pom came through--just about a perfect start for him--6 innings, 1 run. Lots of pitches, but that's what he needs to be successful. What little I saw of the defense also came through. Hitting really came through, especially Beni. Bullpen apparently had instructions from JF or the pitching coach to scare us fans and onlookers half to death. So I guess that means they were OK.
  9. Maxbialystock
    Beni, batting 3d, comes through. Does Farrell know lineups or does he know lineups? (I'm smiling)
  10. Maxbialystock
    Did JBJ really, truly strike out with men on 2d and 3d and no one out? Seriously? Note that elder statesman--the over the hill guy--quickly hit a sac fly to get one guy home. JBJ batting 9th is right where he needs to be even though has definite hitting potential (and some pretty good numbers form 2016).
  11. Maxbialystock
    Missed a lot, but replays show some pretty alert defense by the Sox to get hyperaggressive A's runners. I know, I know--only our guys are actually boneheads. Other teams are pretty solid on the fundamentals because they are better coached and managed.
  12. Maxbialystock
    He got him! Six outs to go with the 3-1 lead intact.
  13. Maxbialystock
    Another 1-2 count with just one out needed.
  14. Maxbialystock
    Good grief. EVen Reed has hurt, giving up a double and a walk to load the bases--after getting a 1-2 count, no less.
  15. Maxbialystock
    Gossett perfect game after 2. 22 pitches.
  16. Maxbialystock
    There we go again. Another first pitch hit for an easy out. By Vazquez. Fastball, but very low and barely in the zone--made to order for a groundout. He swung at a pitcher's pitch and at the same time shortened his inning. How nice of him.
  17. Maxbialystock
    That's his problem--unable to nail mistakes and struggles against breaking stuff.
  18. Maxbialystock
    I'm both, you turkey. First retirement after 31 years was 24 years ago, but I still work full-time, and, unfortunately, still contribute to daytime gamethreads.
  19. Maxbialystock
    Indeed.
  20. Maxbialystock
    Good. We are going to aphorism those A's right into the ground. Well, probably not me.
  21. Maxbialystock
    Hey, it's a Boston movie with Boston actors (some of them)--which I have seen too many times (because I like it). Well done, Slasher9!!
  22. Maxbialystock
    Only to get one started before the game. Righty Gossett vs. Lefty Pom, edge to us. 1 Bogaerts SS 2 Pedey DH 3 Benintendi LF 4 Betts RF 5 Moreland 1b 6 Vazquez C 7 Devers 3b 8 Holt 2b 9 Bradley CF 5 lefty bats. Holt basically in for HanRam with Pedey moving to DH. Vazquez moved up to 6th, Devers staying at 7th. Once again, bottom third are all lefty bats. Day game. Pom's chance to get the team back on track, but he will still need run support. Last night Sox very aggressive at bat, often (for them) hitting the first pitch. But it didn't work well at all.
  23. Maxbialystock
    2d half numbers pretty glaring and very obviously not grouped around a mean. JBJ, Bogey, and Leon still get plenty of plate appearances.
  24. Maxbialystock
    Meh. I'd let him start and go 3 or 4 first time out to see how he looks against real hitters. His start could bump Porcello (with Porcello being the long reliever) or ERod (who has now pitched well twice in a row) or even Fister (which I don't like). The point is to find out where Price really is just in case it's actually a pretty darn good place. I would not rest Sale because I like how he is working on his breaking stuff and keeping the ball low.
  25. Maxbialystock
    Better than what I wrote. A lot of solid points about why we like watching these guys. Both catchers, the entire outfield, and SS and 3b will all be under 30 next year--I think the average will be around 26. Even counting Fister and Price, the average age of the rotation will be around 29. Over 30 lineup guys will be HanRam, Pedey, Nunez, and probably whoever plays 1b unless it's Travis.
