Well, wasn't that special?
-
I realize it's early yet, but could this be one of those very, very rare SOX seasons where the pitching is better than the offense?
-
You're right. I had forgotten about Reyes.
-
I was thinking more of a Wally Cox.
-
No runs for 5 innings; that's good. Almost 90 pitches against the A's in 5 innings; not so good.
-
Lucky for the SOX that they have Dalbec to replace Devers if he does end up on the IL.
-
It must not have been right for the last month of last season either.
-
As for team offense so far, the SOX are second in the AL East in BA (.244). The Yankems are 1st (.245).
-
Btw, congrats to Vegas for this mini winning streak. Keep up the great work.
-
The 5 starters have turned heads, so far. The problem I see is the SOX have no depth in SP's. The odds that all of these 5 will be able to take the ball every 5 days is slim to none. But, otoh, let's enjoy it while it lasts.

April 2 Sox at Oakland AAAA's
SPLENDIDSPLINTER replied to vegasbob's topic in Mike Grace Memorial Game Thread Forum
That is definitely true. I was especially impressed by both Muller and Miller so far in this series. -
April 2 Sox at Oakland AAAA's
SPLENDIDSPLINTER replied to vegasbob's topic in Mike Grace Memorial Game Thread Forum
I recorded last night's game because the BRUINS had an 8PM start at Nashville. Rafaela made a fantastic catch and Wink was equally fantastic in the last 2 innings. I don't know what to expect from Devers this season. He did have a lousy ending to the 2023 season. Oh, well, stay tuned. Abreu and Dalbec are mirror images of themselves offensively. Good offensive game for Story last night. -
More good news: The SOX won't see Muller again in this series.
-
Uecker made 100 guest appearances on Carson's Tonight Show.
-
My bad. Sorry, Bob. Johnny Carson once said that Uecker was his favorite guest and also the funniest.
-
The late, great Bob Uecker would have been the perfect play-by-play announcer for this A's team. Remember how great he was in the movie Major League?
-
Taking one's kid(s) to an A's game could have 2 effects. 1) he'll end up hating baseball, or 2) he'll believe he can perform better than A's players.
-
I like your thinking, Moon.
-
Cora has a lot of options with a 9 run lead. Even Joelly is an option.
-
Well, I guess he's gotta go.
-
But Oakland's defense negates that.
-
It's early yet; he'll get his share of hits, hopefully. Hopefully covers a lot of ground.
-
With all that foul territory Oakland's ball yard would have to be considered a pitcher's ballpark.
-
Nice D by Valdez.
-
I would argue he's the best defensive SS in the AL. Heck, he was the best defensive 2nd baseman when he played there.
