Too true, but I'll take him over Wright.
-
Assuming the Sox win, they will be 5 up on the Yankees again and just maybe get closer to Houston, now down 3-2 in the 8th, and more ahead of Cleveland, now down 7-3 in the 8th.
-
Actually, I thought HanRam's at bat was OK given what Chapman was dishing out. Devers had the bad at bat.
-
Goodness gracious. Guess who's bullpen just melted down? If this were our bullpen, there would be absolutely no criticism of the reliever. Nope. Everyone would dump on Farrell for letting it happen--well, except for me of course.
-
Every word you wrote is just so true. I hate Sunday night baseball. But I watch it if the Sox are playing.
-
Absolutely agree, especially for Devers.
-
Isn't this a 9 inning game with a low score? Weren't most of the relievers brought in at the beginning of the half inning? It all that is true, why in the wide, wide world of sports are we now coming up on 3 1/2 hours? FWIW, I think the Yankees are the real slowpokes. But the problem is with MLB who will not empower umpires to speed up the games.
-
Sox are 2 for 9 with RISP--both by JBJ of course. Left 14 baserunners on--4 by HanRam, 3 by Devers, 2 by Holt. Update. Sox finish 4-14 with RISP and HanRAm with 7 guys left on base. Our 8th and 9th hitters have all rbi's.
-
You are probably right. I thought Devers was swinging a tad too hard.
-
Neat to see JBJ covering Betts on that fly in the sun. A pretty good outfield.
-
Holt just made an easy play look hard. Nunez would have made that play without half trying because it's a known fact that Holt is weak defensively (and at the plate)..
-
A lot better than Devers. Those first 2 pitches against Hanley were really good,low inside and very fast. He fouled off a lot of pitches and didn't swing at anything almost over his head as Devers did. Because we beat him a couple times, we think Chapman is second rate. He isn't.
-
Great inning, Workman! Six out to go. It would be nice to see him back for the 8th inning given the issues with just about everyone else except Kimbrel.
-
I'll tell you what Bradley's problem is. He has such a great sense of where the ball is going he makes semi-hard plays look ridiculously easy.
-
Love it! Harmless fly for Workman's first out. 8 to go.
-
3-0 count. This is of course Farrell's fault because he sent Workman out there.
-
I don't think he has looked bad defensively and would take him at 2b over Nunez any day--except for his hitting of course. His contribution to the team is that right now, with Pedroia out, Holt is our only backup at 2b, SS, and 3b. This is partly because Farrell is carrying 13 pitchers (8 relievers).
-
That's 3 rbi's from JBJ batting 9th and 0 rbi's for everyone else (who had their chances).
-
Outstanding six innings by Porcello. Who woulda thunk? Now let's see what the bullpen can do although Farrell might be tempted to leave him in to start the 7th.
-
Mostly agree, but would point out that Betts is hitless today, as is Devers. HanRam has left 3 on and Devers 2. Holt has been on the bench lately, but his start today has not adversely affected the Sox.
-
Now the announcers are raving about that catch when in actuality he simply misjudged it.
-
Bad swing, Betts. That fastball was very hittable.
-
Have we collectively decided yet whether Holt was going to 2b in the 9th last night because the hit and run was on? It was a 2-0 count, ideal for the hit and run, but the pitch turned out to be outside and perfect for a throw to 2b.
-
I could be wrong, but I think Yankees step out of the box way more than our guys. For shame, Holt! Don't you know you're a worthless piece of crap? Now start acting lack one and cut out that single bs.
-
Leon is slow as molasses and his throw to 2b these days ain't what it was earlier. But he is way better than Vazquez at stopping--often catching--pitches in the dirt. My guess is he frames pitches better too, but I can't be sure.
