  1. Somebody make an out so I can get some chores done. Saved by Moreland.
  2. I don't think he is casual-- tentative because he lacks confidence in his arm.
  3. Agree winning is the only metric for managers, including this one. You're in good company if you don't like Farrell. That is the overwhelming consensus on Talksox. I myself have called for his removal. The difference is I don't buy the hyperbole nor the thesis that a big chunk of losses can be charged to specific managerial decisions.
  4. Yankees have now scored off Workman after Ellsbury triple.
  5. Is it at all relevant that in this game the Sox have 4 hits, including 1 double, in 7 innings and that our lone run was not batted in but was the result of a wild pitch?
  6. First pitch dinger at a crucial moment. Have the Sox ever done that given the reluctance to swing at first pitches? 5th inning CS by Devers now inconsequential, but back in play is Farrell for giving up that dinger. It matters not that Pom sailed thru the two innings prior and had gone 5 giving up 1. Rightly seen, the manager is responsible for every bad thing his team does. Not the good things of course.
  7. Darn. This is now an even contest, not just the score, and so far makes that missed opportunity in the 5th more important. Nice drive by HanRam.
  8. Now that was a bonehead pitch in the dirt. Tanaka had other options and had jus thrown 2 in the dirt.
  9. ok. Let's assume Devers stays at first. I'm not sure Vazquez ground out to 2d advances him. If it doesn't, JBJ's single does not bring Devers home. If it does advance him, Girardi still has the option to walk JBJ to get to Lin and an easy 2d out. I still see no more than 1 Sox run.
  10. Ok. That CS by Devers hurt bad. Was it really a hit and run?
  11. What was that? I would not have sent him.
  12. Not at all. But I have always thought Leon was better at that. Not so?
  13. Zowie! 2 straight good innings by Pom, who has now gone 4 giving up 1. Shame on me for doubting.
  14. Am I wrong or is Vazquez getting a little better at blocking pitches in the dirt?
  15. No kidding? I absolutely did not know that.
  16. Yes, but he's still our terrible guy.
  17. Lotsa pitchers do that well. Just not ours. Porcello is struggling this year precisely because he can't throw a good pitch low. He's fine bouncing one in there.
  18. I'm also bald and bitter.
  19. Who is that long haired hippie standing on 1b with our first hit? Come on Mookie. Oh that darn slider decimates him. Full credit for hitting the fastball hard,
  20. Bipolar. Mostly delighted last night, bitter today. The one really good thing about Pom is that he does bear down in the crunch. The problem is he keeps getting crunches.
  21. Good call by the 1b ump, and we sure needed it. By far Pom's best inning, and he is still 63 pitches for 3 innings.
  22. I don't know about Tanaka, but I can say the day game so far is bothering the heck out of me.
  23. Same old JBJ. Nice.
