    I don't think it was intended for Valdez to be a starting regular, except maybe at Worcester. But somehow, Chris Sale got traded for Vaughn" Noshow" Gruessom, leading to Enmanuel's emancipation. I hope somebody gets the story on Hamilton. Got to be something wrong there

    Valdez and Rafaela make a DP combo that would remind you of many of the all-time greats, NOT
  3. vegasbob
    Start and stop rain delays routinely mess up a pitcher. Houck induced a DP ball to stop the Yankees. Valdez couldn't handle the most basic toss to 2B
  4. vegasbob
    Buy a scorecard, Max. Hamilton should have been playing but asswipe Valdez was
  5. vegasbob
    Valdez is a terrible defender. Totally screwed Houck, who is struggling, and the team. He can take his sometimes bat and shove it
  6. vegasbob
    The rain delay and need for Houck to rearm is troublesome. Especially since the BP wore itself out trying to , and succeeding, in downing Miami yesterday. Sox remain in this trend of no offense in early to mid innings, then some furious effort late.

    And Yankees were just swept by the Reds. 2-8 in their last 10. We are either walking into a hornet nest that has been poked, or we having a marshmallow delight at Yankee stadium. Let's take 2 of 3 and move on to the A's for another shot at a sweep.
  8. vegasbob
    That's a win, so be it. But aside from Pivetta, that was a poor effort by all else vs a AAAA team. Now thoroughly gassed in the BP going to NY. Probably doesn't mean much in the long run, but sweep'em if you can

    Just lose the damn game already so we can get on with the day

    Valdez with a winner ? Wong should not have had to play today . terrible AB's in 10th/11th. Game is back in win probability territory. What's most irritating is that a game that should have been a cruise before going to NYY series turns into a tiring bullpen burner because Cora's roulette bad luck hit a loaded chamber named Slaten.
  11. vegasbob
    Maybe Kelly should have pitched the 8th
  12. vegasbob
    Why would anyone expect the Sox to score a guy from second with no outs in the 10th ? They didn't do much of it all game long.
  13. vegasbob
    Heckuva a throw by duran and play at the plate by McGuire. Question: Does Jansen ever have a clean inning ? This looks exactly like what I saw when he [pitched for the Dodgers . He piles up saves but it's never because he is in command of the game.

    I'm wondering if Miami will entertain trading Tanner Scott , an experienced veteran pitcher with plenty of heat. Strictly a reliever and will be turning 30 in a couple weeks. Let's see , who could we spare ?
  15. vegasbob
    Slaten has performed well overall and this wasn't a save situation, but his record in '24 shows 1 save in 4 SVO's. Walks only 8 batters in 40 innings+ but walks 2 in 2/3rds today with a series sweep on the line.
  16. vegasbob
    Bullpen blows it and it's not over yet. Still the Sox batters had chances all game long to open it up but they were enthralled by Pivetta's Not-A-Nohitter
  17. vegasbob
    Watching Nick between pitches before the run to 1B to gather Dom's very good pick, he is huffing and puffing, looks gassed. Now the no-hitter is out of play, so Cora can manage
  18. vegasbob
    Just to confirm observations, Reese McGuire has reached his "use by " date. Not a clue at bat.
  19. vegasbob
    Pivetta causing problems. Just started his 3rd time through lineup where he is highly prone to blow up, but he is posting a gem outing ( a quality start, no less). Cora will bring him out for the 7th, but better have a guy stretching in the pen because if Nick goes off, it goes big, as in HR's. the lead as the Sox come up in the 7th is only 2-0 due to weak key spot hitting.
  20. vegasbob
    2nd and 3rd , 1 out, Devers hits a soft bouncer to 1Bman, but it does score a run. Abreu, not quite ready , K's. Sox lead 2-0. Like yesterday, this game should be 5-0 right now. Maybe it will be as they work through the Marlins BP. Meanwhile Nick needs to buckle down and get this down to 9 outs to go.
  21. vegasbob
    This series was well timed for a Sox pitching staff that was faltering, and the team needed to pile up some wins for the week ahead. Really need to win this one and that will require about 4 more runs
  22. vegasbob
    Abreu is an example of another situation to watch as various guys ( Casas, Grissom, Hendricks) begin to matriculate off the IL lists in July--August . No, not you, Trevor. When the younger players, or even Yoshida , a veteran of sorts, come back they are rarely ready to just plug in and play. It would seem to take 2-3 weeks to get back to baseball speed and reactions. The implications are that when the player is physically ready, does a team competing on the edge of the playoffs stick with who got them there, or shift back to the presumed starter quickly and risk low production for the next month, not to mention re-injury as with Casas. FO and game management is much easier if your team is like the Marlins with a terrible record.
  23. vegasbob
    It's fun and rewarding to watch guys like Abreu learn baseball skills like baserunning at the MLB level.
  24. vegasbob
    Left side infield defense making Pivetta look a little better than he is actually pitching, but it is still a shutout in any book
  25. vegasbob
    Red Sox continue to leave men in scoring position in early to mid-innings. Need a break through hit when the chance is there. Duran has not been great in the first with pressuring the opposing pitcher right out off the box . He hits better later, like some others
