Another good outing by Andriese. 2.2 innings, 7 hits, 1BB, 3ER. In his six outings in May, he posts ERA of 12.71. Hitters have batting average of .320 for the year. Let's hope he can pitch like he did in April. Texas Rangers has the worst hitting % given up at .259.

Trout goes to IL, could miss 6-8 weeks. The cost of Trout to the Angels is $35.542M annually through 2030. There is no way I'd go watch the Angels just to watch Trout. Betts made a better decision. At least he went with a team with record of success. What does Trout think of when he wakes up? Well I'll have another $35M this year? Baseball is about watching winning teams. I would no longer watch the Sox if they have ten straight losing seasons. No I'm not going to pick a new team. I would just lose interest in baseball. I'll watch as long as the ownership doing things to make the team better. A pitcher maybe worth $35M if you can get on them early. There aren't very many of them. Even top line pitchers don't win all the pitched games. I saw that G Cole got hammered the other night. I like Bloom's approach right now.

Start of the year.....capacity limited to 12 1/2 % Last six home games.....capacity limited to 25% Come May 29th.....100% capacity Congrats to Mass residents on fast recovery during May. It will be rocking at Fenway.

So maybe we'll use Sale out of the pen if he comes back Aug/Sept?
-
Thanks....so it's more of pitch count than the innings, which makes sense
-
Thanks.....I just can't figure out our bullpen usage....it just seems random...maybe they're searching.
-
I don't want to put my thinking cap, maybe one of you can. What good is it to have a long reliever if he's shut down almost a week because of pitching multiple inning, say 3? Is it better to use 3 pitchers instead knowing they can come back in 2 days? Why stretch out Whitlock if he's not going to start? Our we better off using him in more high leverage situations knowing he doesn't walk many batters?
-
I was thinking Darwinzon is high on the list, why waste him in a 9-0 game? To boot he's only one of two left handers and even Cora has acknowledged that Taylor is bit off. This is why I'm not a coach.
-
I don't understand the strategy of pen usage today. We have our third reliever out today. I'm sure the explanation is 'they need work'. But in few days, we'll hear several guys are unavailable. Isn't it better to have one guy pitch three innings or at least two innings, shut him down for 4 days instead using 3 pitchers and all three are unavailable for 3 games? Pitching gurus, tell me I'm stupid. Why are we throwing Darwinzon? Maybe we'll need him tomorrow. I thought he was one of our better pen guy.
-
Soooooo, best player in the league can't carry the team.....I think that's a lesson Bloom learned long time ago.
-
9-0, Darwinzon throws 4 straight balls....what the f*** does he do in the pen warming up?
-
Despite pitching 5 scoreless innings, Perez has a high pitch count.....how's that?
-
Up 7-0, lets see what I can complain about.....
-
Perez threw four strikes on Trout's 2nd walk......Trout is good and he doesn't need help from home plate ump.....I'm all for technology to take over behind the plate.
-
That's how you get out of 4-59 slump.....good job Cordero.
-
Not sure why you think Andriese is so high, I don't think he's any better than Witlock. Have you seen Andrese's May numbers?
-
I'm a Dalbec fan. I'm perfectly happy with him batting 9th all year. I would just leave him alone. His struggles have been magnified due to Cordero and before May, Renfroe. Dalbec hit in 2020 so I'm inclined to give him longer leash. We can always platoon him, too. He's hitting lefties just fine.
-
Per MasLive Sale in good spirits Cora spoke with left-hander Chris Sale (recovering from Tommy John surgery) earlier this week and said Sale was in good spirits. He continues to work out at Fenway South and threw off the mound for the first time last Tuesday. Cora didn’t disclose what the next steps are for Sale but did note he is throwing aggressive flat ground sessions in preparation for longer bullpens. “He’s feeling good about it,” Cora said. Finally pitched off the mound.
-
Great point on Whitlock.
-
Both teams now 23-16. Red Sox with +36 run differential. Athletics with -13 run differential. We're more fun to watch.
-
A's came into the series with-10 run differential. Unbelievable. This is typical Sox offense. It knows how to pile on.
-
No comparison between the two. Kim Novak was beautiful. Angie was sexy in her prime.
-
Not complaining but.. Can someone with pitching background explain to me how the Sox is stretching out Whitlock? He pitched 2 innings on May 7th. He's pitching into 3rd inning tonight. Do you get stretched out throwing in the pen? Two innings every 6 days does not seem to be 'stretching' in my opinion. How do you stretch out a guy? Or is everything about Whitlock being on the team simply because of Rule 5 and the team is just babying him due to his recent injury? I just think he's being under utilized.
-
Just woke up from a nap.....very good night Chavis with 2 hits Dalbec with a homer Richards pitching strong Whitlock coming out for his second inning Yankees getting beat life is good

It should be noted that Bloom thinks Durran has chance to be great as a center fielder. Bloom is the head of baseball operations.
