Had a good swing at the first one but hooked it foul. Then he swung at everything; pretty sure only one was a strike.
-
That’s an adjustment he needs to make. That AB he’s up 2-0. Wisely lets a perfect pitch low and way go. The 2-1 pitch should have hammered. He’s going to have to swing at the first good strike at some point just to change the pitcher’s approach. Get me over fastballs need to be hit. He doesn’t have to do it all the time, but he has to do it sometimes.
-
I don’t see how these guys can lay off pitches that close.
-
Cease has had a huge part in that today.
-
Did you and Fred switch screen names?
-
Cease is nasty today. Looking at his game logs, he’s either been very good or very bad; unfortunately for the Sox, today is one of the former. Better get him this inning, because that Padre bullpen looms in the 6th.
-
True, but do you seriously think if he’d had him swing away, it would have made any difference?
-
Not sure what that means; steal was the play there and the Padres made a play (major league players sometimes do that); Bogaerts got away with pushing him off. The bunts were the right call but Hamilton was too stupid to know what the word sacrifice means.
-
I’m not going to blame him on the steal; Bogaerts got away with a veteran trick. There was no excuse for the bunts. It was utter stupidity to try to bunt for a base hit (3 times).
-
He should be sent down for sheer stupidity on that AB.
-
Because you can’t use Whitlock and Chapman every night.
-
Nice rant, but he’s safe if Bogaerts doesn’t push him off the base (which is against the rules).
-
Yep. OB and Merloni said their pen was excellent, but what we’ve seen tonight is sick.
-
Hope Estrada’s done for the night.
-
Nah, overall he’s been fine for a middle to back of the pen reliever. This was his 13th game and the 4th time he’s been scored on. It’s only the second time he’s allowed 2 or more runs. He had nothing tonight; it happens. No need to worry unless it becomes a regular occurrence.
-
It also could simply be a case of putting it together for one year. See Porcello, Rick.
-
Still need a #4 in the playoffs unless you plan on guys going on 3 days rest.
-
Yup. It’s the ball park. He’s 7-0 at Petco with a 1.99 ERA, a WHIP of .788 and a K/BB of 6. He’s been a little more pedestrian on the road: 4-3, 3.67 ERA, 1.136 WHIP, K/BB of 3

To some here, must win every inning.

A Realistic View of the 2025 Red Sox: Part II
illinoisredsox replied to moonslav59's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Sounds like a guy trying to get released; who can blame him. -
TYPM has an almost pathological hatred of Cora, so take whatever he says about Alex with a lot of salt. As for Breslow, I agree with you on the computer model statement but he kinda has to stick to the owners salary restrictions if he wants to keep what I’m sure is a pretty high paying job.
-
I disagree, it’s not horse hockey. It’s one of mule fritters, buffalo bagels or pony pucks.

I’m more concerned about what they gave up for May., -

Might be a slight upgrade over Fitts for the #5 slot in the rotation, but hardly a big difference making move. -

Who knows with Henry? Maybe he got excited about the idea not having to pay anything and changed his mind on the focus. Per Spotrac, the Sox are $41,000 under the first CBT level; no idea if that includes Matz or not.
