passed ball????!!!!
-
zowie! a quick out on a routine pop to beni. Is JBJ out tonight because of his slump?
-
great K pitch by pomeranz against machado with 2 men on and after machado nailed that knuckle curve but hit it foul.
-
this team is unbelievable. first JBJ goes on the disabled list because he tripped rounding first. Now hernandez is pulled because he hurt his right arm or elbow doing basically nothing with that arm--but he did manage to get his 6th error with his glove hand
-
jones fouls off the first 5 pitches, then gets a ball. pomeranz might need 30 pitches to get out of the 1st, which is probably fine with Pomeranz. he doesn't like to get too deep into games.
-
Great. Pomeranz throws 8 pitches so that rickard can get a fluke double down the right field line.
-
My thanks again to Jbay for starting last night's thread which clearly got the Sox the win. Yes, I know Sale pitched great and the bats finally did something, but the key was the game thread and the sheer guts of JBay44. If we are starting a win streak, the Sox did to get him out there to throw a first pitch.
-
Well reasoned, stated. However, I still like what Sale did because to me it was obvious he meant to miss Machado while still sending a message. Plus Sale then struck Machado out and pitched 8 solid innings to--finally, finally--actually get a damn win. Maybe what he did aroused those dormant bats.
-
nesn guys are saying this was an ugly, ugly game and that it's a trend, not the exception. I agree.
-
interesting. both teams had 6 hits tonight and 2 earned runs. but the sox had 4 errors and 3 unearned runs. the orioles meanwhile made good play after good play. oh, and we had the egregious baserunning error by hanram.
-
4 errors tonight, 4 errors last saturday
-
pedroia apparently didn't get the word and made a nice grab on the double play.
-
hernandez now has his 5th error on a very easy play,
-
fyi, thanks to the insane rules of mlb, Hembree had a perfect outing--4 outs, no runs. he kept his precious era down at 1.29.
-
this is of course impossible, but sometimes I think this team wants to sabotage the manager.
-
wow. just wow. horrible, horrible baserunning to give away an out. definitely looks like hanram with the bonehead play
-
congratulations to mookie for the easy out but no gidp!
-
mookie, hanram, and moreland coming up with no one out, 1 run in, 2 men on base, and the sox needing 4 more to tie. whadaya think? heroics by the middle of our order?
-
Too true. That's the score from the last time we faced Bundy.
-
, Let me tell you something based on bitter experience. You do not want to mess with the northern long-eared bat, especially if you want to do construction near their possible (not actual) habitat. Around here we kind of think, "let sleeping bats lie."

4/30 Cubs at Fenway

Last night I was pretty sure the Sox would lose because of the weak hitting and was delighted to be proven wrong. I still think the hitting is weak, but love that Uehara did not have his good splitter and quickly gave up 3 singles before Maddon could pull him. Hernandez single was weak, but Bogaerts and especially Beni had solid singles. Then Betts struck out, and the Cubs went into their own comedy routine of wild pitches and bad throws, thank goodness. Given my almost continuous griping about this team's underperformance so far, I now look forward to this series with some excitement because short term--it's a very, very long season--is potentially at hand. We will go with Porcello, Sale, Pomeranz, and Wright against the Orioles' Bundy, Asher, Gausman, and Jimenez. I do not foresee a slugfest if only because I don't think our guys have it in them. So far we have lost slugfests except for beating the Jays 8-7. -
That's what I think. If one catcher is hitting better overall and still a decent catcher, then try to match catcher to pitcher where you think that makes a difference. For example, I think Leon has caught Sale all 5 games, so I would favor using him whenever Sale pitches.
-
You just described Sunday night's win over the Cubs. 3 singles, a K by Betts, then the deluge of wild pitch, error, you name it, to bring in 4 big runs. The Sox took 2 of 3 despite errors, bad base running, and not that much hitting.

Exactly. Plus we caught Uehara without his splitter. -
