Interesting that going into this game the SOX and Angels have the exact same record against teams >.500. 23-37.
-
Great shutdown inning.
-
It makes no sense. I believe the ASTROS are 51-16 at home this year.
-
I'm just sorry the SOX have to go back to Fenway. I've been a fan of the SOX since the late 50's and I've never said that before.
-
Another base running blunder. There's been a ton of those this season.
-
One of the best pure hitters in the game. Power and average. Replacing Ortiz is impossible, but JD has been more than capable.
-
Nice answer inning.
-
When it comes to SOX starting pitching, it's E-rod and 4 days of rain.
-
Big moment in the game. Why not bring in their best reliever Workman? It's not like he's an established closer. Oh, well. Just a thought.
-
VAZ's arm was too short.
-
Still don't understand how a player can be MVP on a below .500 ball club.
-
Trout wasn't MVP-like there.
-
When you go to the well too often, sometimes there's no water left.
-
I guess this could be called an opener.
-
I'm sorry, but I can't get excited about a 4 inning start, especially with our already overworked BP.
-
Good point. I'm not defending Cora, but when a team's two best pitchers have had a recent history of breaking down during the season, that may have been a factor. However, there was no sane reason to baby Porcello or E-rod.
-
I mentioned this on a post a while back. Imagine if Nolan Ryan was pitching during this pitch count era. How many game would he have lasted more than 5 innings?
-
I agree.However, my concern with EO, besides the fragile arm, is pitch count. How many 5+ innings will the SOX get from this guy?
-
Based on JD's 23 million dollar pay check from Boston next year, I highly doubt he opts out after this season.
-
One good thing about JD's lack of prowess defensively is that there probably won't be any high bidders from the NL for his services.
-
I'm pretty sure the SOX will pass Tampa, but, yes, passing a second team will not be easy, but not impossible. I was rooting for the Yankems to beat the A's earlier today. Rooting for the Yankems is not easy for me to do and I sure don't want to make it a habit. Sometimes one has to things he/she doesn't like for the greater good.
-
JD is a DH. Anything he brings defensively is an unexpected bonus.
-
Thanks.
-
After the 2018 season Cora was on an ego trip, believing he could do know wrong. At least this season has brought him back down to earth.
