I keep adding to my like/respect for Abreu as a keeper . He could get a serious return in a trade , maybe in tandem, with Wong for a strong catcher. But for now, I would keep him. -
He got antsy with Mullins walking him, then lost command and control for an additional 10 pitches, giving up 2 out run. Finally closing the deal with a K.
-
No, ristian without the K's
-
But enough about Casas
-
Duran not exactly on his "A" game
-
Campbell could be an interesting player . Good to see Kristian come out hot instead of floundering at the MLB level. Don't confuse 41 year old Morton with a power pitcher
-
Liked your breakdown and analysis on Devers the other day. The stance is still exaggerated and will give him trouble catching up with the large left lift. Fine for him to hit hard to left center especially at Fenway .
-
Houck can't even get the first out before giving up an HR to Mullins, then a hard shot for a hit to Rutschman. Something working for Tanner as he rolls out a DP grounder and a K
-
Sox scoring in the 1st on Bregman's HR ?? Miracles are at hand If Houck throws a 9 inning shutout, this game is over
-
Chapman plays to his reputation. Very hard throwing , but with nominal control. Great off speed slider to freeze O'Neill. He will make it interesting every time out, but a team facing 7-8 innings of Crochet, followed by 100mph , off target Chapman may just fold their tent and concede. Take the series tomorrow and go to Boston.
-
Duran with a big chance but not a good night for him, with 2 K's and a bases loaded DP.
-
Finally watching on TV away from the computer . Good to see all the guys swinging better bats ( Devers, Casas, Story) BUT The real story is and will be Crochet. Finally sign , and pay, a pitcher who is not back from the rehab junk pile. This is a pitcher not a thrower. Now , nail the win, presumably Chapman ?
-
As Mel Fisher of treasure hunting fame would say, " Today's the Day" . Looking for this game to be Devers breakout. My guess is that Cora cannot risk moving Devers down in the lineup despite his current travails because a move like that could destroy what confidence is there. It would make Raffy look worse as the biggest contract on the team. This guy is sensitive .
-
If Devers gets a hit in his next AB, he can add 50 points to his BA. and help his .174 OPS too. I do think the Sox overall handling of the Bregman -3B-DH situation has been a big part of Devers mentality so far, but no accounting for the physical failure to hit the ball well.
-
The 9th inning rally is rendered pointless by the s*** pitching in the bottom 8th.
-
A Grand Slam in the 9th could have tied this game, LOL, until that 8th run. Now it's harder
-
No reason to love Weissert. He blew this one up with help from Bregman.
-
Whitlock looking good through 2 innings. This is a winnable game, as were the last 2 in TX, with 9 outs to go. Can the team manufacture 2 runs and keep O's scoreless ?
-
The K accumulation continues with 10 by end of the Sox 5th. That's a 67% rate. For baseball professionals and those knowledgeable there really has to be some clear reasons that need addressing. The Sox hitting strategy as pushed by Fatse and now Lawson is not effective, or the execution is terrible. It is not that we are facing a string of All-Star #1 Aces, or even Chris sale
-
May have to rename Raffy " LL" for Little League as in only BB's and K's. Appropriate though since he doesn't speak English, the LL sound in Spanish is spoken "Y" . That's the question WHY ?
-
On ESPN , there is a good article on the "torpedo" bat favored by the Yankees ( & others) that applied physics principles ( mass x velocity at the point of contact= kinetic energy transferred) to a legal, MLB ok'ed bat design. It only works though if the bat hits the ball, preferably squarely , an oxymoron when it's a round ball and round bat.
-
Sorry, had to step out for awhile and missed the rallying that Duran got started with 2 OUT hitting. Still, 7 K's in 3 innings ( 9 outs total) shows that the engine is still misfiring badly. MVP has it right---Put the ball in play and something good can happen.
-
That's correct, Nick
-
Come on guys. Newbie did get 3 outs, all by K's, a 100% rate. The 4 run deficit ? Just following the Red Sox game theory of fall behind early and not hit with men on base.
-
" Get your K's and LOB's in early folks. Get'em while they last" Our players are not being productive.
