"Roman Anthony, who was 4 when Kershaw made his major league debut in 2008, followed with a double to center field that gave the Sox a two-run lead." That's why baseball is such a great game..factoids that make you go, you got to be kidding me. Rich Hill and Venus Williams playing in sports events after long layoffs the same day--both at age 45. Love sports trivia.

So again, in this win, Crochet holds the fort like an ace after rough beginning. This is what true aces do...and often like I said--you get rewarded for being that guy. Offense seems to want to do things for that guy or at least do enough to earn a win.

As a hard-core B's fan, couldn't agree more.

A Realistic View of the 2025 Red Sox: Part II
dannycater replied to moonslav59's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
135 Plate Appearances this season combined between Wong and Yoshida = 4 doubles, 2 RBI 6 Plate Appearancers last night by Kurtz = 4 HR, 1 double, 8 RBI Last 14 PA by Kyle Schwarber (35 plus HR last 4 seasons in a row for Phils) = 4 HR, 8 RBI Last 14 PA by Raffy Devers = 2 HR, 2 doubles, 5 RBI -
The Rice is wrong! The best starting pitchers were absolutely as good/better, but after that forget it. Relievers were not better then, and the backend starters were Al Nipper-esque...batting practice guys that hitters feasted on. I am from that era too. Yes, Big Papi did go out on top, just right before the specialized pitching reached new heights in velocity, spin. I think the best hitters, the best average/power guys simply are really great athletes too and certainly compare favorably or better than the best of all-time...

I watch the hitters and the pitchers...it's a brave new world...every pitcher can throw 98 to 103 it seems, some have changeups that Tommy Glavine would be proud...the hitters are timing and taught to drive the ball...the end result is a ton of Ks...Roman Anthony looks strangely like a throwback--he has a line drive swing and even though he is set up to be this power hitter I wonder if he thrives at MLB by being the line drive doubles, RBI guy--and here's a guy who struck out 4x twice in the series...contact hitters or the idea of contact hitters--the best ones never faced this type of pitching every day---including multiple different relievers who have same 100 mph repertoire...Gwynn, Boggs faced mostly same pitcher 3x at least, often 4 in a game--definitely all the pre-1970s hitters contact guys didn't have to deal with velocity as much or face more than 1 or 2 pitchers in a single game. You could face 4 different pitchers in some games in today MLB
-
Narvaez...that was justice that he won it...perfect...Go Sox!
-
tough break on the tying HR
-
See, I would have had Devers...but hey what do I know
-
Yoshida is brutal
-
Platoon v. great pitching often means nothing.
-
tapper after tapper or swing and miss
-
Gonzalez back to Earth, 0 for 16, Anthony 7 Ks last 8 AB...but hey sit Abreu
-
Sox hitters don't recognize Sanchez changeup drops out of strikezone...don't swing...but then you see 1st pitch swings all game..all the analytics and no awareness. No Abreu...because god forbid you let a 20-HR hitters play v. lefty
-
My last add here is Crochet, Bregman...these guys show that they are "game-changers."
-
no question, Crochet is almost always the best player for Sox when he starts
-
I've said this before, admire some of the long-timers here and their passion. I just don't have the time that I had before--lot of stuff going on life-wise. I follow the B's on the other board. Can only do so much, ha
-
SP, backup catcher, 1b---probably all should be on the Breslow radar
-
LOL NESN picks Bregman as Star of the Game--try Abreu. Also 21 three-run jacks for Sox is 2nd in MLB
-
I'm not the Lady in White, but I'm wearing a white t-shirt, I started watching the game live in the 5th inning, and guys to be transparent, I think I've watched a Sox game live about twice this year for an inning or two...mostly follow games on DVR and then condensed games on highlights...I just couldn't watch this team "fail." LOL
-
Anthony looks like AJ Pierzynski...been trying to figure out who he reminds me of at the plate...that's it.
-
So Crochet is the Stopper today...that's what it is all about, stops losing streaks in their tracks...important to winning baseball in general
-
Sounds like Bregman talked his way into game, just like a gamer does. Loved him with Stros, love that he is a Sox
-
Just need to get this game over asap
-
find it funny that Bregman is still in game defensively, tells me he was fine to play in first place
