  1. Rafaela reminds me a lot, both physically and the way he covers CF, of Paul Blair, who manned CF for the O's. That's about as good a compliment one could give to a CF.
  2. Btw, the only good thing I can say about the BRUINS in these PO's is Jeremy Swayman. No goalie in recent memory has gotten less defensive support in these PO's, and yet he's near the top in goalie stats among PO goalies.
  3. Isn't the cliche "pitching and defense win championships'' still valid? I guess having a respectable offense was implied. Anyway, the SOX have two of the three ingredients necessary.
  4. Eflin(RH) vs Crawford Duran Abreu Wong Devers O'Neill(DH) Smith Grissom Gonzalez Rafaela Maybe some SOX offense will show up tonight; maybe not. Eflin's not a bad pitcher. SOX starting pitching has been consistently good. Andrew Bailey has had a lot to do with that. His success with the Giants was no fluke. Go SOX!
  5. Nice play. As the defense gets better, the offense gets worse. Interesting.
  6. So far, Robles has been the SOX most productive player.
  7. I doubt one will see worse base running by an opponent the rest of the season.
  8. Come for the starting pitching; try to stay awake for the offense.
  9. That either of these teams going into the 40th game of the season is hovering around .500 is equally amazing.
  10. SOX have yet to play the Yankems. I guess the league wants to drag out the suspense.
  11. Good to know that Devers' defense has improved.
  12. I'm guessing the Nats' manager is using the word 'mother' not in a Mother's Day kind of way.
  13. So referring to Youk as Capt Obvious is a yes.
  14. To say the Nats have been helpful would be the ultimate understatement. Both in the field and on the bases. Thank you.
  15. Where's those balks and wild pitches when the SOX need them?
  16. Would I be in the wrong if I referred to Youk as Capt. Obvious? Would we have known that was a bad throw to 2nd if Youk hadn't told us?
  17. Gonzalez(SS) Refsnyder(DH) O'Neill Devers Wong Cooper Grissom Duran Rafaela Gore(LH) vs Bello Hopefully, the SOX and BRUINS can both win today and not make this a repeat of Friday. Of the two I believe the SOX have a slightly better chance at victory today than the overmatched BRUINS.
  18. Criswell has been a very pleasant surprise, so far.
  19. Having watched both the BRUINS game and the SOX game last night, I was exposed to a double shitter. Not to be confused with a double header. Although one does go to the head to shite.
  20. I did notice that stat from NESN yesterday where the SOX have scored one run or less in 11 games so far.
  21. I seriously doubt any team in MLB has a worse group of LH batters than this current SOX team. Just pathetic.
