He’s a good pitcher, he’s not a great one. He’s on more often than not, but he’ll still have his share of blah outings. I think part of his issue the last two games is lacK of work. He went what, almost a week before that outing last Thursday? Then 3 more days off. That’s no way for a reliever (particularly a front end one) to stay anything close to sharp,
-
Is Anthony getting Chuck Knoblach/Steve Sax disease?
-
Pathetic throw by Anthony, but the second run scored because Whitlock failed to back up home. Second time that’s happened in 3 games (Chapman did it Saturday)..
-
Bello could save a lot of pitches by just waving the first 2 guys on every inning.
-
Borderline. Spikes were a little high, but as Merloni said, in the old days Hamilton would still be down. For a good example of the good old days, on YouTube, look up Hal McRae taking out Willie Randolph in the 1977 ALCS (Hal McRae take out slide should do it).
-
Yeah, but 66 pitches through 3 for Bello so maybe 1 more inning? Then Cora gets to piece together 5 more innings. I can hardly wait.
-
They can pass the Evil Empire on the last day of the season for all I care. Earlier than that doesn’t matter.
-
I’ll predict they will hardly be the first ones to have that fate against Miller.
-
Another loss mostly due to lack of offense.
-
Why the hell wasn’t Chapman backing up the throw to home? Tough error on Anthony; throw wasn’t bad and Narvaez was knocked over.
-
Not the ideal way to score, but it beats the K we’ve seen all too often. As you, me and most of the board said all of last year, put the ball in play and something good might happen.
-
Yup. Every pitcher who gives up 2 runs in the first 3 innings (or 4 as it ended up) deserves a loss.
-
Didn’t say he was great, but given the number of runners he allowed, it easily could have been 4-5 runs. He kept the game close and gave the team a shot.
-
Kid wasn’t sharp but he did limit the damage and gave them a chance. A loss at this point is on the O (again).
-
I didn't get it Wednesday when Cora left Whitlock in for 30 pitches, figuring he'd be unavailable for a couple days because of it. In another instance of managers know stuff we don't, it turns out he was not going to be available for a vastly different reason. Congrats to Garrett and his wife on a baby boy.

Red Sox all alone with worst record again
illinoisredsox replied to Deja Doh's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Agree 100% on Rafaela and challenges. If I’m Cora, he is told you challenge a pitch again, you won’t finish the AB. Then. AC has to follow up actually doing it. It’ll never happen. -
Vazquez trying to help Whitlock out, swing at ball 4 twice before taking that 3rd strike.
-
This will waste Whitlock for any use on Ffiday.
-
Good answer
-
That didn’t age well 😀(not that it matters).
-
So if the Sox pitchers faced the Sox hitters in “real” intersquad game, what happens?
-
I’d drill Alvarez again here.
-
When the Sox next visit Houston, they should seriously think about skipping Crochet in the rotation. Lack of offense today aside, this will make him 0-3 at Minutemaid (or whatever it’s called now) and his performance today actually reduced his ERA there to 7.43.
-
They keep getting 1-2 runs a game, you could trot Koufax, Gibson, Pedro, Verlander and Scherzer to the mound in their primes and you’d be fortunate to win 50 games.
-
I have no issue with letting Watson keep going here. He’s got to learn sometime and a game like this is a chance to do it. He’s going to be here all year anyway, so he may as well pitch. Right now he’s overthrowing.
