  1. Eovaldi also has that Yankee stench that seemingly so difficult to wash off.
  2. Then I would be a little concerned about the 11 homers Eovaldi has allowed in only 57 innings this year. Seriously folks, he’s here to fill the 4-5 slot in the rotation. A .500 record is fine from that spot. It also tells me they are not counting on Wright bring back any time soon (if at all) and that ERod is a lot more hurt than they are letting on.
  3. I didn’t see much of the first 4 innings, so I need to ask. Every pitcher hangs a breaking ball or two (sometimes they get away with it) but was the curve decent overall? You can’t dismiss the homers but was there something positive to take, even if it was just a couple of innings? Were the balls put in play ropes or just routine outs?
  4. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains.
  5. In this slop I'm not casting aspersions on any body trying to get a grip on any hit ball.
  6. Certainly has seemed to since that triple play last year.
  7. IMO, he needs to get back to 2 pitches, fastball and one other. He's a 1-2 inning guy, he doesn't need 4 like a starter.
  8. I had no problem with him starting the inning against the bottom of the order. But given the conditions, they needed to have somebody up and ready at the first sign of trouble.
  9. I know you wouldn't, I'm saying what I think will happen. They are not rife with options right now.
  10. At the very least the Sox are 10-2 against the O's. Would you rather be the Yankees, who are 5-5?
  11. Pomeranz is going to get another couple of starts , but they aren't going to go much more than that if he doesn't show something.
  12. The problem is Velazquez is not stretched out.
  13. Unless this is a shower, this game is ovah.
  14. The walk was the killer. Beckhem is hitting about .290 against lefties. Problem right now is that who takes the #5 spot. Johnson is servceable. Velazquez hasn't gone more than 2 or 3 innings since very early in the season and Beeks really hasn't shown much, and at the same time they are trying to keep Sales IPs down. Still, Remy is right, should have had Thornburg up and warming to start the inning. This game ain't going 9, it may not get to the 6th.
  15. Sox starting pitching since the All Star Break: 23 1/3 IP 17 H 2 R 0 ER 2 BB 25 K
  16. Kimbrel's got nothing tonight.
  17. Ever have to listen to those clowns; they deserve every bit of derision we can muster.
  18. To the O's announcers I would say two things: Scoreboard. Standings.
  19. If Phillips is close to ready, I really would consider sending Devers down for a couple weeks. Physical mistakes are one thing, but he's made several mental ones recently as well. He needs to realize being in the majors is not a right.
  20. It was a balk. Porcello dipped his front shoulder ever so slightly just before time was called.
  21. For whatever reason, it seems like Gausman is either very good against the Sox or very bad. There is seldom a 6 inning 3 run type game for him against Boston. He either gets bombed or he throws a shutout.
  22. Heard about it; twas a little before my time.
