    Unless it's one hell of a coincidence, Andrew Bailey must be a magician. Or maybe he dabbles in hypnotism.
  2. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Devers' HR streak ends, but still 6 in a row is a SOX record and pretty darn impressive.
  3. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I've got no problem with solo's; I'm just interested in how many they'll hit this season. It is an unusually high number at this point in the season.
  4. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Devers was wearing his camouflage uniform, so Lowe didn't see him.
  5. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Solo HR #36. "Duran and McGuire just a getting higher in Tampa, ya know where that's at. And no one's getting fat except Kenley."

    Martin of late looking like last year's Martin, which is a damn good thing.
  7. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Use him until you lose him.
  8. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    No Grecian Formula for Martin.

    Duran bringing back memories of early Ellsbury.

    O'Neill's batting theory was similar to mine during my teenage years: "Swing hard in case you hit it."
  11. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Timely hitting by Abreu is better than a solo HR.
  12. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    'Break On Through' never happened, but 'The End' did.

    These Ted Williams lifetime numbers never get boring: BA=.344 OBP=.482 SLG=.634 OPS=1.116 OPS+=191 HITS=2654 WALKS=2021 Because of his discipline(stubbornness?) not to swing at anything outside the strike zone, Ted never had a 200 hit season, although he did get 190+ hits in two seasons.

    I know there's a lot of season remaining, but long time SOX fans like myself have to be experiencing culture shock. I mean when has it ever been said that a SOX team will only go as far as their pitching takes them. I'm guessing never during my time as a fan.
  15. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Another fine performance from a SOX starter. And a fine play by Devers.
  16. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Medium talent? I believe he's got above average talent. Remember he did get drafted as a 2nd baseman.
  17. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Considering how often this SOX team strikes out, it helps explain the large number of empty base HR's.
  18. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    It was just mentioned on the Tampa feed that Duran has more triples at this point of the season than 23 teams.
  19. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Solo HR # 35.
  20. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Criswell's pitch count after five is impressive. His grooved 0-2 pitch to Arozerano is the difference in this game.
  21. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Interesting that all 3 hitters to have hit HR's in 8 consecutive games were LH. At this point Devers is the 14th player to hit HR's in 6 straight games. Before Devers' 6 game streak there were a few SOX players who had a 5 game streak, including Ted Williams and Bobby Dalbec. A rare instance where Ted Williams and Bobby Dalbec are mentioned in the same sentence.
  22. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I wonder if Yawkey knew when he signed Ted Williams that Ted was half-Mexican? Yawkey was a disgrace as an owner and a human being.
  23. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    True. Crisswell grooved a very hittable pitch.
  24. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    The Yawkey SOX weren't signing any black ballplayers in the 40's. Hell, their first black player was Pumpsie Green and that was in 1959.
  25. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Giving up a base hit with an 0-2 count is one of the most disgusting things in a baseball game.
