    Absolutely true, and, frankly, I agree with that informal rule. I'm happy to defend specific managerial decisions but also think he should be held accountable for overall team performance.
  2. Maxbialystock
    Actually, I think the calculus is based on several factors. It might look like the Sox are in this game down just 4-2, but the hitting is absolutely abysmal and the defense is pretty awful too. Plus now the umpire ain't giving him the corners.
  3. Maxbialystock
    You might prefer Vazquez, but the entire management system of the Sox apparently does not. He can't hit. But I also think his defensive skills are overrated. I say this because to me the pitching didn't seem to improve one iota with Vazquez behind the plate. Don't take my word for it. If his catching were actually helping the pitching staff, they would have found a way to keep him in Boston.

    Bogaerts in there trying to take some of the heat off Bradley by looking absurd while striking out. The ace on the mound? Someone named Chavez with a 5.24 ERA. And don't forget. This is all Farrell's fault.
  5. Maxbialystock
    Absolutely amazing. Two days in a row the Sox can't hit. We have two singles and the Dodgers, going against Price, have a homer and two doubles. Bradley is just clueless at the plate. An 0-2 count and he looks at a fast ball near the middle of the strike zone.
  6. Maxbialystock
    Great double play by Price who fires home. Thank goodness nothing to Holt, who is worthless.
  7. Maxbialystock
    We already know what the story will be at the end of the game. This was all Farrell's fault. Wrong lineup. Wrong guy at 3B. Should have taken Price out after the leadoff dinger in the 4th. See, it's never, ever the players fault.
  8. Maxbialystock
    Maybe Price is giving up. No defensive support and no offensive support.
  9. Maxbialystock
    I seem to remember a groundswell of opinion on talksox to the effect that Holt is a winner, a guy who makes things happens. What a joke. That was a huge error and completely inexcusable.

    What's the name of that Clint Eastwood movie, "Trouble with the Curve"? That defines this year's Red Sox. Except, apparently, for the rookie leftfielder who seems quite comfortable hitting a curve. Bogaerts looked awful in his at bat and had three straight fastballs, one of which he watched go over the middle of the plate, one of which he swung at and missed when it was way inside, and the third pitch was fat, right down the middle, which he fouled away. Finally, finally he got his pitch, a curve well below the zone he could tap into an easy GIDP. We're in the 4th inning and have two hits, both by the rookie Benintendi. If it weren't for those five walks, this would be a scoreless tie.

    53 games remaining, but the schedules favor every team except the Sox, who have a tough time on the road and a tough time playing the AL East. If these guys make the playoffs, they will definitely earned it.

    To me it's amazing how long ERod lasts basically throwing fastballs. His slider is only "good" when it's outside the strike zone, but the hitters rarely swing at it there. He rarely relies on his changeup. And he doesn't throw a curve or or a cut fastball that I can tell. As for the hitting, I'm guessing it's bad because it's a day game after a night game which followed a flight from seattle. And didn't that last game in Seattle go into extra innings?
  13. Maxbialystock
    If the Dodgers have any kind of bullpen, this game is over.
  14. Maxbialystock
    That's two sliders absolutely hammered.
  15. Maxbialystock
    He hit that slider really hard.
  16. Maxbialystock
    Yeah. That's what I think too.
  17. Maxbialystock
    Sox have 4 singles. Second time thru our lineup was easier than the first time. 3d time--first two guys out, just like that.
  18. Maxbialystock
    ERod looks OK up there. Until the K on the big curve. But he got two fouls.
  19. Maxbialystock
    All right! Fast ball on the inside corner, easy pop to short CF.
  20. Maxbialystock
    What was that conference about?
  21. Maxbialystock
    Now that was a changeup--much needed.
  22. Maxbialystock
    Funny thing. ERod likes to talk about his changeup, but he rarely uses it.
  23. Maxbialystock
    Bradley is more of a pull hitter now than Ortiz.
  24. Maxbialystock
    4th inning with Bradley, Leon, and Shaw coming up. Meh.
  25. Maxbialystock
    ERod is the opposite--mostly fast balls.
